The exasperated way the chair ump just said SEE-voo-plais to the Kouame-crazy crowd. #RolandGarros

So, I duck-ducked "fugly thing on the white house lawn" and DDG gets me 🦆

I get "slightly better-looking Stephen Miller" vibes from the photo of this Dan Weldon. (Not complimentary)

Maybe ginger Jannik Sinner simply isn't built for the heat. There's been discussion / research about natural redheads and differing reactions to temperature, pain, certain medical conditions. #RolandGarros

Betty Badass Gilpin in 1700 Widows Bay.

I so agree with this in spades. If I were a journalist there, I would have done it years ago (ask my friends).

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

So sick of news saying ICE arrested people. ICE hasn't arrested anyone. They've kidnapped a bunch, though.

Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

Are you not entertained? #Monfils

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

#OnlyInMonroe Hysterical. (Even if, unlike me, you're not from Michigan or haven't worked in public access / community news.)

Roses are redde Noble are the manatees For a bettir future Teach artes and humanityes

Stephen #Colbert & staff & guests ending that show with a joyous New Orleans funeral-style "Hello, Goodbye" was perfect. I've been particularly depressed about the state of things this week, and this was yet another reminder of Don't Let Them Steal Your Joy.

"It was purely a financial decision." #Colbert

OpenAI Announces Construction Of New Data Center On Top Of Sick Child

I wish we could choose who leads our country

The green room bathroom of the Jackson WY Center for the Arts is an interesting place. Not pictured: the second fan.

Once upon a time Google was literally the most amazing information retrieval system I have seen in my life. It was quick and returned primary sources to read on almost any subject. It was better than magic. It makes me sick to see what they've done to that resource.

Kamala Harris: When you look at this war in Iran, which the American people do not want, which was not authorized by congress. Even if it was, it should not have been initiated. He talked about obliterated. It's all just bullshit.

I'm thrilled to share some news: Academy-Award winning actress and producer Octavia Spencer will join me and Nancy Pelosi for our June 1 virtual event, Unfinished Business, to help elect women and other Democrats running for office this year. Can't wait to see you there. www.bit.ly/ubjune1

The same people that wouldn’t let their kids attend a reading by a drag Queen put their kids within grabbing distance of a notorious pedophile

Somewhere, poor Charles Rocket (RIP) is going, "Wait, they get to say 'Fuck' on #SNLUK?

First of all, no way is 1986 40 years ago.

Time for the gambling ads wrapped inside a basketball game. Go #Pistons

Getting a bit depressed about the end of #Colbert's show. Just one more thing. #Lateshow

sorry i called your wedding pictures ai slop

If you need to go somewhere and not spend any money, please visit your local library. Library crawls are awesome. Every library is its own little world.

Today the House passed a DHS funding bill by voice vote. Let’s be clear: I would’ve voted NO. The bill does not include reforms or guardrails, it gives permission to transfer funds to ICE and CBP, and continues to allow DHS to manipulate emergency authorizations and abuse our data.

Just so the #left is aware Kamala Harris advocated for a national, FEDERALLY FUNDED universal paid family and medical leave program, that aimed to provide up to 12 weeks of paid time off for workers to care for new children or sick relatives. btw 19thnews.org/2024/07/the-...

Remembering civil rights leader, activist, author Coretta Scott King on her birthday (April 27, 1927 – January 30, 2006) #CelebratingCoretta #ThankYouCoretta 🩷💚🕊

Here's the initial block list of those who attended the WHCD tonight. Adding names as it becomes clear they were there.

I don’t think I can take another news cycle of Democrats solemnly tutting about how violence is never the answer while Republicans promise to put their political enemies and whatever immigrants they can find in a wood chipper

I’m at the combination Comedy Central Roast of Adolf Hitler / Reichstag Fire

I was writing jokes for Amber Ruffin when she was supposed to host the White House Correspondent's Dinner last year, but then she got fired for saying bad things about Donald Trump. I think tonight, I shall post a few of them here.

Scottish astronomer Williamina Fleming discovered the Horsehead Nebula in 1888. The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's Belt, ~1,375 light-years from Earth. #WomenInSTEM #SpringAstronomyDay #AstronomyDay#Astronomy#Astronomy #AstroSky

Oh man

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

My favourite Academy Awards line of all comes from Emma Thompson, when she won for her Sense & Sensibility screenplay. "Before I came I went to visit Jane Austen's grave in Winchester Cathedral to pay my respects, you know, & to tell her about the grosses." 📷 Ron Galella, 1993 #Jane250

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

In many global cultures the egg is a symbol of new life and rebirth. Iranians decorate eggs on #Nowruz, Iranian New Year at spring equinox and eggs are eaten during Jewish #Passover. Fragments of decorated ostrich eggs found in Africa are 60,000 years old (below) #Easter

Let's learn about some medical research that just left Earth on Artemis II, bound for the silver sphere in the sky. It's AVATAR, but it doesn't involve blue aliens. It stands for "A Virtual Astronaut Tissue Analog Response" & it looks like this USB drive-sized device.
