Finally some good news
Daniel Lippman@dlippman
SCOOP: Acting ICE head Todd Lyons has been hospitalized at least twice for stress-related issues during the Trump admin., 4 sources told me. They also said that the White House places lots of pressure on him and that Stephen Miller yells at him on calls. politico.com/news/2026/03/2…

@cry_twombly also listening to this piece now. its pretty epic

@CaptionQuirk every great work of the 20th century has an "I saw a gamelan at the world's fair and here's how cool it sounded" passage. Poulenc's double piano concerto is my favorite example.
English
where would western classical music be rn without the influence of the javanese gamelan? i shudder to think
English
@cry_twombly so true. i thought it was the early 20th century was when its impact was made but i was just reading about how steve reich was inspired by it too

@guiltron_ i cant believe i saw these models and graphics and was like "yeah this looks fine"

@shytwunk getting kudos at work hits like a drug unfortunately

I’d wager there’s marked increase in slang rhymes in Taylor’s discog over time. Olivia Sabrina, Clairo… very few pop girls are innocent
English
very tired of the pop lyricists today who think they can get away with an over abundance of slant rhymes. you are NOT Emily Dickinson!

@keysmashbandit Affordability, absolutely that would blow their minds. But a cotton garment is a cotton garment.

I'm sorry this is insane. A person in 1704 would be completely swept off their feet stunned at the comfort, warmth, affordability, and ease of care afforded by a pair of knit Costco brand sweatpants
Cora Harrington@CoraCHarrington
A person living in 1704 would not be dreaming of poly cotton sweatpants.

Remember, the official American and Israeli line is that these buildings and all the children inside of them are legitimate military targets because soldiers are there. They are very explicit about this.
Adam Johnson@adamjohnsonCHI
Once again US media is casually reporting the Pentagon’s use of human shields. Here the NYT details how US troops are hiding in civilian “office spaces” and “hotels” because they don’t want to be “vulnerable” or too close to “the current front lines”.

no no Chinese heaven is fine I just didn’t expect it to have a burger king
rui skrunkle🟥@oomfprotector
china stop turning every natural formation into disneyland challenge: difficulty impossible. At the top of the "stairway to heaven" is a set of escalators they built through the mountain to get up to the peak, and at the top of *that* is a damn burger king

The effect of our murderous sanctions: “In 2018, the infant mortality rate in Cuba was four per 1,000 births, lower than in the United States. By 2025, that rate had more than doubled, to 10 deaths, almost twice as high as the U.S. figure.”
Ryan Grim@ryangrim
Very good reporting from the NYT in Cuba: “Elsewhere in the hospital, doctors and nurses dashed to ventilators that were pumping air into the lungs of sick newborns. The machines’ battery systems died years ago, so health workers have to squeeze a rubber pump to keep the babies breathing until the generators start to work. “With fuel running so short, the gas generators may be only a temporary savior. Nurses in the hospital’s neonatal unit said they already have plans for a fully powerless hospital: swaddle newborns in blankets and put them back into dead incubators, hoping they stay warm enough to survive.” nytimes.com/2026/03/26/wor…

Vienna has fewer homes per capita than Vancouver. By supply-and-demand logic, the Austrian capital should be more expensive. Yet prices are 50% lower. Why? Because over half of Vienna’s housing is non-market. The issue isn’t supply. It’s commodification. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

All I can say is wow. You've seen a lot of these type plots for individual cities. But this is different. It's the whole Southwest US and the anomaly is FARRRRR out of the ballpark. I truly can not recall an anomaly so large in my career. Look closely at the 2026 peak (red) and all the other peaks (black lines) above the mean. The next closest peak heat event looks to be less than 1/2 the size of this one.
It makes sense that the departure would be even further outside the normal window than for an individual city because it encompasses a much larger area ALL with extremely deviant heat. If you look closely you will see the peak of the heatwave is ~equal to the typical summer peak temperatures.
Nahel Belgherze@WxNB_
As the first reanalysis data become available, I think I can say with a fairly high degree of confidence that the March 2026 heatwave will go down as the most anomalously extreme heat event ever observed at any time of year in the southwestern U.S.
