On the ground in Minneapolis after the killing of Alex Pretti Photographer Steven Garcia followed peaceful protestors as they withstood being teargassed by ICE agents.

"It burns your eyes, it burns your mouth. For some people, it causes nausea and burning on the skin. Another local reporter told me his neck was burning and he had to use a decon wipe."

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

β€œEveryone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Gourmet Magazine Gourmet is a worker-owned publication about food and the people who make and consume it.

CondΓ© Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

while there is no doubt that edvard beneΕ‘ is encroaching on german lands, we are deeply concerned that we were not consulted before the events that took place today in the sudetenland and we are investigating whether the reichstag’s authority was exceeded

Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer scratched bullets with a Helldivers combo and a furry sex meme ο»ΏThe suspected shooter left a hodgepodge of extremely online taunts.

You’re saying a young gamer steeped in reactionary self-referential internet memes did horrifying violence in the real world for clout?

Who could have ever seen this coming

If you did an obituary on Charlie Kirk that was just quoting directly in context what he was most proud of saying and doing, a lot of editors would say to revise it because it would read as being mean to a dead man

A notional design studio. β€”Β ethanmarcotte.com A design language, if you can keep it.

I wrote about the administration’s β€œnational design studio,” and how its shoddy construction isn’t a mistake. It’s a clear signal of priorities, and ones we need to actively, urgently rebuke. ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/a-noti...

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Right. what's happening is that after years chasing scale (PVs, google & FB referrals, whatever) the media industry (Vox included) is realizing "oh, scale isn't paying anymore, but focus/niche/loyal users can bring some success"

and UM THATS WHAT WEVE BEEN SAYING SBN HAS BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME

yeah, to me this is the subtext of this whole conversation. whatever that place is, i'm not positive a big media company should own it
