A new candidate entered the Alaska U.S. Senate race today, challenging U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan. His name? Dan Sullivan. www.sullivanforsenate.com

let's be clear, let's be very clear, let's be incredibly clear about something: Marcia Lucas is why you love Star Wars. She's why Star Wars worked. She's why it has heart. She's responsible for the in-media-res beginning, she's responsible for basically everything charming and unique about >

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

Techbro again chooses billionaires and other centimillionaires over the people he’s supposed to represent. Rich people never change.

France hit more than 100F this week. London hit 95F. Extreme heat was reported in more than half a dozen countries, from Portugal to Switzerland. The culprit was a “heat dome” from northern Africa now settled across west Europe. This extreme heat is fueled by unrelenting burning of fossil fuels.

when I first moved to LA I wasn't a big fan, and then I realized that this place is absurdly big and if you don't like one part of LA you probably will like a different part of LA and the key is figuring out where you enjoy spending time and ignoring the rest of it

Another wild night at the Hardy Boy house 😹

Outdoor space with a full bar and employees called Bark Rangers that police any bad behavior. The adults sit around and drink while the dogs all play or chill. Nyx *loves* this place. Whiskey was a rock star here. Gonna miss this place!

Wouldja believe film editing used to be dismissed as "women's work."

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are all empty terms without the true belief of and dedication to making the disabled community a true part of the larger community.

Love that face 👍

Allow yourselves to be guided by kindness, bearing in mind as you go along that most people are insane.

"Prohibition was an anti-domestic-violence issue" was a mind-blowing thing to learn. Imagine that it was easier to pass an amendment outlawing alcohol than laws outlawing wife-beating.

This White House has lied so consistently that it has lost all credibility. Everything its officials claim must be verified, full stop.

NEW: Trump's gross Aliens.gov site claims to map where immigrants have been taken into custody, but it includes more 83 spots where Americans alone were arrested. Over 700 locations include citizen arrests. The counter is fake. The music was ripped. And Puerto Rico is listed as a foreign country.

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

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

I will never stop laughing at the fact that Trump calls Springsteen washed-up but his administration just tried to book Milli Vanilli and could not pull it off.

Russia did not attack Romania accidentally, it was a test. An accident would be spilling a glass of water, not fucking slamming a drone into a country you threatened 24 hours prior.

our human rights should not change based on which state we're standing in, or this is not a country. we have never truly gotten there but we were getting close, and now we're backsliding so fast. authoritarian enclaves can't exist at the state levels that threaten democracy locally, either!

@WisdomMadeEasy

This is some bullshit. As a reminder, EOs are NOT law and this is absolutely illegal and blatantly unethical.

Without warning, on November 14, 1963, new land emerged off the coast of Iceland. Over the course of three years, a volcanic island rose 171 meters above the sea. The government of Iceland named the island Surtsey, after the mythic fire god Surtur. www.quantamagazine.org/when-quiet-u...

Speaking of my current project I'm obsessed with right now: If you ever had a truly creepy Disney World experience, I'd love to read about it. I'm especially looking for creepy 1970s Disney World anecdotes. Please repost so I can hear from more people!

I’m not sure it was worth it to reorganize the entire economy, evaporate desert lakes, poison the air, strain local power grids and violate the copyrights of every person who has ever created anything just to make web search worse.

Bruce will be back in D.C. on Oct. 3, as a special guest of the first-ever Power to the People Festival — joining Tom Morello to play a few songs with his band for another night of music and resistance.

dogs require French fries for their spiritual well being, or so I am told mostly by dogs tbh

The US needs a better education system. This foolishness from US leaders makes my brain hurt.

That's right internationalpolicy.org/publications...

Just because I was curious (this is a gift link): Based on this, it’s not a height requirement like “you must be this tall to ride this ride.” It’s a waist-height ratio requirement, which I think is an extension of the “don’t be fat” thing we already kind of know about. Truly, I was just curious.

This is the slavery Pope Leo was talking about. How do you use a person's image to do work and you don't cite them or pay them? You just steal it.

About Time! “A federal judge Friday ordered that President Donald Trump’s name be removed from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and that officials halt its plan to close the venue for two years.” www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Great point, and also worth noting that Sound Transit's governance structure was WIDELY CITED by elected officials who argued that KCRHA didn't need a board of experts, but a changing cast of random electeds, when they got rid of the implementation board and handed all the power to elected officials

This drives me NUTS. Every thing I go to lately, there’s a democrat or leftish person using Project 2025 for their reference point and have we learned nothing about political rhetorics?!! Our side has all the artists, for goodness sake.

Press conference over. My takeaway is that Governor Sherrill is doing everything possible to control and contain protesters outside and very little to meet the demands of the people inside Delaney Hall on the hunger strike.

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

Anyway I do in fact lead an entire workshop on how to recognize misleading information, avoid spreading it, and teach others to do the same! Hit me up to bring it to your org or conference.

Here’s an article so representative of how apocalyptic the USA is, and how out-of-touch our laws are in our late-stage capitalist hellscape. Seattle: gunfire rips through an infant’s bedroom. 30+ gunshots. Neighbors close their roads with giant *flower boxes.* www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

I know this is very, very horrible Most SHOCKING and MOST horrible And TERRIBLE AND AWFUL but birds are allowed to be alive! outside! in the grass in front of your house!

We appear to have a programming dispute

How dare the book I was reading end, now I need another book

How the marine lab cafeteria solicits tips 😂

I was so annoyed during a congressional hearing the other day when a Republican witness was like oh if you don't like the Court's interpretation of the Voting Rights Act, you can amend it Motherfucker we did! And the Constitution! And yet!

if one removed people who obsessively talk about teenagers' genitalia in public, a huge swathe of the conservative movement would simply vanish

This is bad. Bad for researchers. Bad for science. Bad for universities. Bad for professional associations. For example: 1. Every award would be vetted by political appointees, who could overrule peer reviewers and deny the award if it doesn't advance the president's priorities. 1/🧵

One of my criteria for getting involved in any kind of group effort is, "Would I trust these people to organize a potluck supper?" It gives me no pleasure to recognize that I am a member of a polity whose administration cannot. Worst group project ever.

Remember DJT blaming Obama on Iran? NYT reports that the proposed US-Iran deal includes a $300B reconstruction fund for Iran, which is referred to as an international "investment fund," facilitated by the US. Iran, reportedly, demands "reparations" to end the war.
