Legend. Grandmother Faces Trial in Alabama for Wearing Penis Costume to No Kings Protest theintercept.com/2026/04/03/p...

The internet wasn't a mistake. It saved lives. It's allowed community. It's one of the best advancements in modern history for information. The mistake was normalizing rampant cruelty and dunk culture and protecting predators and harassers over victims.

It's just not plausible that someone is teleporting into a waffle house because waffle houses are anchored sites of hyperreality. I don't think tarot even works in them. If he was claiming that he spatially displaced into a denny's that'd be worth investigating

One of my favorite “history fun facts” I often share in class is that Notre Dame is called “the fighting Irish” because in 1924, UND students beat the shit out of a local Klan that tried to harass them for being Catholic. stories.nd.edu/stories/a-cl...

Pope Leo when he hears JD Vance is writing a book about the Catholic faith

The obscenity of a budget that cuts the forest service to fund the re-opening of Alcatraz as a prison.

Y'all, they threw Pam Bondi's official DOJ portrait in the trash, then LEAKED a photo to the media. There is literally no upside to being a MAGA bootlicker. www.ms.now/news/pam-bon...

If you're under the age of 54, you've never seen a picture of the earth taken with you on it.

Fun fact: because rabbits are an incredibly invasive species in Australia, Australians absolutely refused to use Easter Bunny imagery which would normalize the rabbit menace. So, they instead have an Easter Bilby, a lil marsupial guy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_...

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I worry about this

Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲 “One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.” www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

This too. Republicans LOVE bureaucracies so long as they are aimed at (they assume) people other than themselves.

Not sure of the origin but this bangs

rats would rather have car culture than go to therapy

Reminder: Todd Blanche, Trump’s former lawyer turned acting AG, flew down to “meet” with Ghislaine Maxwell… and suddenly she’s in a minimum-security camp where she gets puppy playtime and custom meals.

"The latest Gallup survey found the number of Americans who identify as Republican voters fell to 39%, an 11-year low. "Meanwhile, the number of Americans who identify as Democratic voters climbed to 49%, levels unseen since the aftermath of Jan. 6..." news.gallup.com/poll/654560/...

Been rewatching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008-9) and it's interesting from a 2026 perspective to watch a show where the premise is just "let's go find everyone making AI and assassinate them"

Mother Jones draws on historians to describe the true nature of right-wing transphobia. Elite media like the nyt do something entirely different 🧵

More than 2 million low-income Americans, overwhelmingly women, access birth control and STD screening through Title X programs.

this is true but the problem isn't the posters, it's that the team hates the users and hates running a social network. when was the last new feature people actually wanted? we got Attie instead. give us group DMs. give us images in DMs. give us private accounts. do things the user base wants.

when we're all unable to connect to use the internet, send emails, pay our bills, use our toasters, and god knows what else if AWS goes down, i want you to know now that i blame our lack of antitrust laws far more than i'll blame a foreign missile

in an article full of great points and great quotes, this stood out for me the most one of the best articulations I’ve read re: ai being anti human

Originally shared today's @theflytrapmedia.com reprint on male rape in pop culture and how framing it as a joke harms everyone with poor phrasing ("butt of jokes") that seved to accidentally illustrate my point about how engrained male rape jokes are in popular culture.

Been more than a year since I wrote this piece but I think it holds up. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

We have a very simple solution to universal programs benefiting the wealthy. You claw back the money through taxes on the back end. Everyone has known this for 100 years, but people get to pretend they don’t when it’s convenient for their ideology.

He has a green card, but ICE is continuing a pattern of criminalizing criticism of US foreign policy and eviscerating the First Amendment. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

As someone who's done years of user experience design, this is absolutely true

Amateurs study tactics; professionals study logistics; Hegseth studies his camera angles.

A very good piece on how Pete Hegseth believes that we lost the war in Iraq and Afghanistan because we were stabbed in the back by Black and Women Generals.

Tapping the sign

I love this one because of the years of hard work it took to be able to see that view, pulling together all the things you can see around the window into a spacecraft usable by the crew. https://images.nasa.gov/details/art002e000191

So Trump gets rid of his attorney general because she didn’t stop the talk about Jeffry Epstein. And he replaces her with his lawyer, the same one who arranged the super shady transfer to club fed for Epstein’s partner in crime Gislaine Maxwell?

I made a little Instagram reel about this image because it’s just so frickin’ cool

My cat servants friends, you know who you are... 😼

teleporting is real if you consider drunk driving a form of teleporting

So much this. Also, the tech bro mafia doesn't really like reading. They don't *appreciate* reading. So just because *they* can't spot the difference between good writing and bad writing, they think most people can't either.

The funny thing is, I don’t think he even knew what “no quarter“ meant when he said it. He just knew they were tough guy words that sounded war crimey.

Lot of recalled products down there.

Interesting how society has always associated cooking with women and yet, 94% of Michelin star restaurants have run by male chefs. I guess what it's really "a woman's job" is the unpaid part of it.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled doomscrolling for this waterfall timeline cleanse. #DoomscrollingBreak

Meanwhile, on the moon...

while the March job numbers came in better than expected, the revision to February's numbers was significantly downward. 133,000 jobs lost just that month.

Remember the lady in the penis costume who was tackled by cops at the October No Kings protests? Not only have they not dropped the charges, they've added new ones. Her trial is set for later this month. theintercept.com/2026/04/03/p...

We gotta be real about this sentiment, it’s driven by concern-trolling rich people. They are fine with paying for their own child care and don’t want to pay taxes for poorer people to get child care either

The thing about this is that zero people in the class that commissions these sorts of articles actually believes in means testing. They oppose creation of these programs for ideological reasons and think this is an effective argument with the wider public.

so much of what is expensive in cities is buying your way out of public systems: private schools, gated communities, private transportation

As a result of Trump & Hegseth's re-segregation, all five service chiefs, the JCS chairman and vice chairman, and nine of ten combatant commanders are white men. Also, the U.S. military is back to zero female four-star officers for the first time since 2008; there were four in 2024.
