Imagine if just by refusing to comment, you could stop any story from running. You would literally never find out anything unflattering about anybody. It amounts to asking people for their blessing to publish your reporting about them.

The early web was driven by curiosity & openness, not monetization. Audrey Witters reflects on that era, using her now-famous animated alien GIF as an example of how playful, freely-shared work helped shape digital culture & why preserving it matters. Learn more ⤵️ blog.archive.org/2025/12/22/a...

This is bananas

she's just doing what she was hired to do

I've never felt I had to apologize for being white, but I do feel obligated on behalf of all white people to apologize for JD Vance bsky.app/profile/atru...

There is no trend or epidemic of kids being trans or non-binary.

I think Jake Paul should try returning serves from Venus Williams next

Congratulations to everyone who wrote an op-ed about how he just wants americans to eat better

Tapping the fucking sign

Memorial Center? Does that mean he’s passed on?

There's no 'Green Monster' in Boston more frustrating to opponents than 5'5" netminder Aerin Frankel. She's been nearly unbeatable for the Boston Fleet this season frustrating opponents with every save. thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/... #PWHL

I'm an expert in what I'm about to say: "You can buy your own health care" is, as a policy, fucking insane

Everyone else go home — this is the year we secure ABOLISH ICE on a Chicago Snowplow chicagoshovels.org

If only citizens have rights, then no one has rights — because all the government has to do is claim you are not a citizen and then you have no right to challenge them.

All of them paint a very similar picture: a single state which is sovereign on all of the territory west of the Jordan River and which has imposed a multi-tiered racial system of hierarchy onto the residents of the territories. In other words, a state which commits the crime of apartheid.

The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time. Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.

Put aside that it isn't actually all that horrible to say such a thing, he actually didn't say that. Why are people incapable of taking on someone's words as they actually exist? Here's what he actually said on the right

There’s a lot of talk about the Hitler youth types who are turning in their professors and not enough discussion about the ones who are feeling intense despair because they're going to school with the Hitler youth types and immigrants are being kidnapped and trans people are facing genocide &etc

I am honestly having some trouble following “the health care industry is a huge powerful malevolent machine ripping off America and we want you to negotiate directly with it for your insulin.”

Stealworkers

It'd be one thing if he were showing any sort of competence at his job rather than a Mad King with unelected weirdos around him running most of the show

De jure annexationism is easily reverse-able in practice, it is the de facto practices of demography, land theft, settlement, military entrenchment, separationism and segregation, urban encirclement, checkpoints, prisons, walls, and more that matters.

The conviction that a "unitary executive" guarantees "democratic accountability" is more like a civic religion or folkloric superstition than a constitutional theory. Federalist Society true-believers drill it into their acolytes and teach them never to question it, but it's fundamentally nonsense.

vaccines let autistic children become autistic adults

The float/sink test for narcoterrorists is identical to the test for witches.

“Yes, yes, we can see all your ‘facts’ and all the adorable little ‘evidence,’ but you failed to consider that none of that matters if we all close our eyes and pretend the Texas GOP actually had pure motives here, you stupid little rubes.”

Even if they were on a "drug mission," the first strike was illegal and the second strike even more wildly illegal. This is absolute nonsense from someone who committed war crimes and is now scrambling for cover. Lock him up.

Exactly. If it were that important, you wouldn't be allowed to pay your way around it. "I forgot my passport, here's $45." Said no one ever.

Hard to overstate how much credibility Chris Van Hollen has with critics of the Democratic Party's foreign policy in MENA simply because he's a liberal who means it when he says he wants to see liberal values translated into action

A very important job for policy intellectuals right now, I think, is making the positive case for immigration - not just the economic case, tho that is helpful, but the idea that a world where people can more freely cross national borders is a better world.

This is the result of the CIA using children to kill people and yet a whole lot of people don’t want to recognize *American* culture, and in particular the culture of the War on Terror, at work here.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Just a holiday reminder! 😂

If President Joe Biden sent national guard troops to a Republican city to intimidate the population and then a week after a federal court ruled the deployment illegal someone shot two guardsmen in that city everyone including the corporate media would blame Biden for it.

This fallacy should henceforth be known as a Barro's Blunder.

I for one am sick and tired of the government spending my money hurting people

The purpose of DOGE was to exfiltrate the private data of hundreds of millions of Americans to Palantir's servers

As a man, that is as genuine, dyed in the wool, sincerely deeply held personal values dick punch as you'll ever see. He truly just wanted to whack that man in the balls as comprehensively as possible. This came from the heart.

maybe i am going insane

Reading between the lines, it sounds like the captains of Boston University's cross country team want the ICE snitch off their team, and they're upset that the Dept of Athletics won't make it happen dailyfreepress.com/11/21/08/216...

Strong points from Sarah Hurwitz: "Our key mistake was giving Jewish children brains that think and hearts that feel, and then encouraging them to use them. This naturally leads them to sympathize with Palestinians. We should consider removing our kids' brains & hearts until they turn 45."

Israel has held 16-year-old American, Mohammed Ibrahim, without trial, for 9 months. He has been denied contact with family & his health is deteriorating. He says he falsely confessed to throwing a rock after being beaten. America needs to secure his release NOW.

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.
