LOL. It looks like Talarico's girlfriend is a Latina baddie. nypost.com/2026/05/29/u...

that's gotta be the most commercially successful 10-year stretch any editor ever had

STAR WARS would not exist without Marcia Lucas. If you think otherwise, you’re wrong. Her editing gave that first film the punch and vigor that audiences responded to. Along with Verna Fields, Marcia Lucas changed blockbuster filmmaking forever.

UW - Madison has over 500K living alumni. Our alums are fanatical about Madison & the university. I have seen exactly zero attempts to publicly mobilize this network in opposition to the federal budget cuts, foreign student restrictions, or any of the other existential threats. Again, mind-boggling.

Hoo-boy, this judge seems a lot more open to this than I expected. She has ordered DOJ to respond, including by explaining whether there was collusion, whether the parties are adverse, whether the case was "premised on deception," and if the court was a "victim of a fraud." Link in alt text

I really cannot overstate how good employees - especially tech employees - are at optimizing for whatever metric you are paying attention to, performance-wise you had better make good and fucking sure you want a lot of something if you’re going to put up a damn leaderboard

BREAKING: A federal judge in Miami just made a striking turnabout — essentially reopening Trump's $10 billion case against the IRS, saying that she wanted to investigate "grievous allegations" that the hasty deal to resolve it was "premised on deception."

one might ask why a free speech org is scrutinizing the small dollar political donations of private citizens

We have a real technology that beautifully marries language with mathematics, to the point that it's now advancing mathematics. If you can't find wonder in that, man, idk.

credit cards are one of those things the middle class assumes everyone has when that is quite often not the case!

The median credit card balance is not $6,715. The median credit card balance is $0. Most Americans do not *have* credit card debt. The Transunion report is reporting the average (not median!!!) balance *among those who have balances*. www.transunion.com/content/dam/...

‘You can be a red-blooded capitalist and still worry about the political stability of an economy in which ever more output flows toward shareholders instead of employees. A backlash is already brewing.’ www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

I just think "people no longer respond positively to low unemployment or improving conditions" is not really something you can accept and move past. It's a death blow to the entire concept of rational liberal governance, replacing it with a phantasmagoria where we lurch between delirious panics.

I'm hearing rumors that doctors discovered Trump's blood type is "chunky"

Trvth nuke

“Why does structurally advantaged reactionary capital get to do things liberals/progressives can’t?” is one of those questions that answers itself tbh.

She forgot the sociopath juice Jim Gordon’s evil son put in the baby formula for a laugh.

Noteworthy: “a spokesman for the office, said that investigators from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General and from the Texas Rangers had helped take Mr. Castro into custody”

usually i can figure out what kind of idiotic train of thought leads conservatives to their weird beliefs about how things works but i genuinely cannot figure out whether the misogynists want women to always wear makeup or never wear makeup

explicit right to privacy, no Senate, uncapped house, single-member districts with state-level seats to balance representation to vote totals, independence for federal agencies (esp. justice)

it would not be too much of an exaggeration to say that the reality that a single person holding a machine gun killing hundreds of strong men caused one of the greatest freakouts in human history

Freedom 250 concert organizers confirm it was actually Vanilla ICE that they booked.

On a related note, Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was one of the most delusional military actions of my entire lifetime, in addition to being a gruesome mass atrocity. Possibly the most delusional. Sinwar literally thought he'd instantly destroy Israel by overrunning and slaughtering a few small towns.

Just saw the ultimate in Blueskynomics

There is no realistic deal here that actually gets the Strait open anytime soon anywhere close to the necessary traffic to stabilize things. Get ready for an inflationary recession, everyone!

It was never formally enforced & has no enforcement mechanism besides impeachment or the ballot. If you keep electing a leader who refuses to be accountable to the law, you will soon find there is no law.

Asking some E-3 to pay for their own travel, hotel, and accommodations (not to mention getting leave to do so) in DC is nasty work

This is the biggest risk right now to the expansion of e-bikes. People are mashing together e-bikes and all other manner of high-speed electric motos and scooters into one bucket. I've had someone ask me if my e-bike is one of those "e-motos the kids ride."

This is a very apt way of putting it: the problem with the Constitution of 1789 isn't so much that it's flawed (it surely is, but you can fix flaws with amendments) But rather that it has lapsed, that it is in abeyance

Whatever you do, don't call this "Trump's reparations to Iran" because that would embarrass our big strong president

objectively very funny that the president of the united states flanked by all three branches of government under his unilateral control simply cannot Organize an Event.

This is probably what "the party slowly backs away from Trump one-by-one" looks like in practice, but at some point they need to progress past MySpace breakup posts and actually make one (1) material break with him before they even start to get any credit.

BREAKING: For the 59th time since early March, Trump says he's close to a deal with Iran

obligatory Preacher panel I think of every time Stephen Miller goes off about white supremacy or some shit

ken paxton has john cornyn tweeting like a wide reciever who got suspended for crashing his car

BREAKING: The Clash at Demonhead have also withdrawn from the Freedom 250 celebration

...and that Liberal Currents piece on conservatives obsession with porn and sex wins the Pulitzer now, right?

the columbine shooters were neonazis and nobody was allowed to tell anyone that for like thirty years, and as a result instead of a public backlash to and government crackdown on neonazi internet groups, we have neonazi interns running the government

DEVELOPING: Rob Lowe’s band from St. Elmo’s Fire has withdrawn from President Trump’s America 250 celebration.

No one has ever answered the question: how is this not viewpoint discrimination? Also, I have to say, many civil rights statute require consideration of different viewpoints? Also, many of the enacting statutes require peer review!

Disney viewing the current situation and deciding their best course of action is to flip Carr off is.. meaningful.

How embarrassing was it in 2026? Daughter it was “Bret Michaels does not want to be associated with this” embarrassing

Your food will remain. It will not remain unchanged.

Cecilia Vega, the first 60 Minutes Latina correspondent, was fired today, along with some of her colleagues, as Bari Weiss overhauls the news magazine. She has released this statement:

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

I also need people to understand that Trump is closer to Parkinson’s riddled, Berlin being invaded Hitler than he is to Hitler building his thousand year Reich. What we have right now is bad. We do not have a younger, dynamic, and flexible person leading it. That’s a good thing.

You know, for a long time - back as far as the early 2010s when I was on Facebook - a stalwart of my social media posts was, "hey look, real wage growth, real income growth, this is good." And, um. This seems bad!

'Mein Pharaoh... Moses... Moses has parted the Red Sea and the Hebrews have escaped'

hard to emphasize how much power this takes away from career civil servants and experts/scientists and gives it to trump and his deputies like vought. spitting in the face of congress and the rule of law

This thread is horrific. The White House is basically saying don’t be concerned when we carry out ethnic cleansing. They are literally being dehumanizing.
