here's your periodic reminder that if you're in a country with a weaker currency than the US (India, Brazil, etc), there's a discount to make the zines more affordable. You can see it in action here:

If you're in a country this applies to, you should see something like this:

59 years ago today, Griswold v. Connecticut guaranteed the right to birth control.

Justice Thomas says the Supreme Court should "reconsider" that ruling.

And this week, 38 GOP senators voted against the Right to Contraception Act.

Republicans are coming for birth control.

You won't find this on the NY Times homepage, but "If Trump Wins" is very much the kind of journalism we need from the most important news organization in America.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/07/us/politics/trump-policy-list-2025.html?unlocked_article_code=1.yE0.HGUJ.n4G0j7au9_es&smid=url-share

If the Times -- and the rest of our news media -- did this kind of thing relentlessly, they'd be doing their jobs.

It's now or never, journalists. You -- and democracy, which makes what you do possible -- are a prime target of the fascists.

Google is considering for Chromebooks a feature similar to Windows Recall.

I've been using ChromeOS as my daily driver since 2015 but such a feature is a deal breaker. My 10th anniversary is a good milestone to switch back to Linux. It's not just the feature, it's the trend it hints at.

I'll plan the migration and refresh my admin skills. It's been over a dozen years since I last installed Linux on a PC and much changed in this space.

This now-famous building in Istanbul (Constantinople) has a history spanning centuries, with each floor representing a different era. The foundation is a Roman cistern, which was forgotten and buried due to earthquakes and rising ground levels.

In Roman and Byzantine times, the area was bustling with merchants, and the cistern likely served their needs. Nearby is a historical bath used by Janissaries in 15th-16th Centuries, which may have also been supplied by the cistern during that time.

“What would be informative: A minute or two of unedited video showing Trump’s rambling, incoherent and deranged rants. Rather than merely “fact check” the nonsense blizzard, reports can explore the unprecedented nature of his rhetoric, illustrate the deterioration in his thinking and speech, and discuss how an obviously irrational and unhinged leader casts a spell over his devoted following.” How to report on the election #JenniferRubin — https://wapo.st/45d5wpk

@ddayen (who unfortunately doesn't post here anymore) is one of the finest commentators on how economic policies have done terrible damage to so many people. In this piece, "Homeowners Want Housing Prices to Go Up," he goes straight to the heart of how hard it will be to have affordable housing for most people.

With Donald Trump’s long record of racist and xenophobic comments, why is support for him among voters of color increasing?

Two political scientists went to America Fest to look at how Republicans are appealing to voters of color by invoking law and order, conservative social values and mistrust of government.

Dolly Parton is a national treasure.

Conservatives are the opposite.

It's great. One gets a feeling he knows more than the techs.

I love how the letter from the Chair of Tesla's board calculates Elon "created over $735 billion in value" by stopping their count at December 31, 2023.

The stock has fallen 28% since then, losing $225 billion in value.

RT @marcelemoran You cannot design a more obviously progressive policy than charging a small minority of (largely high income) drivers to benefit a vast majority of (largely low + middle income) transit riders.
