Help There’s a Suzy Eddie Izzard routine I’m thinking of It’s not Cake or Death and it’s not the monkey in the tree It’s a list of increasingly more incongruous items, with a singsong cadence Help

Mamdani's position - Netanyahu is a genocidal war criminal, but Mamdani lacks authority as city mayor to hand him over to the ICC - is not going to please many people, from both sides. But I think it is the right position. Netanyahu should be in the Hague, and some government should send him there.

BAN THEM. there are states where you can’t buy sex toys and they won’t ship them to you. Let these get the same treatment (and let the poor horny folks in those weird states buy sex toys)

And if California slides into the ocean like the mystics and statistics say it will

One might argue that the supplementary material where Tolkien claims he was the “translator” of the Red Book of Westmarch rather than the author of LotR qualifies. Tiny me held on to that “translator” notion well into my teens because I WANTED it to be real that badly.

Just logically, it’s not possible to drive apartment rents down to the point a panhandler could afford them; builders would stop long before rents fell to that point. So it’s either bring back SROs and boarding houses or start building public housing again (and try not to fuck it up this time)

i think people look at homelessness as a relatively new phenomenon and reason backwards to think that in the Before Times, poor people must've all been able to afford houses/their own apartments etc. Most of the housing types the poor used were actually just outlawed (boarding houses, SROs etc)

THREAD OF PLACES TO ACCESS FOOD 🧵 Please spread the word on and off this website, because people are dealing with real hunger issues now.

Yep! Here in Massachusetts, I buy Little Leaf, which has greenhouses up at the former Fort Devens. littleleaffarms.com

This, in the US as well. I care about the way immigrants are being mistreated and alienated, I care that the next generation might be less culturally rich, I care that the economy benefits from the world’s talents. I care a lot about immigration! But not in the way the media might imply.

In our latest episode of WIRED's Hacklab video series, UCSD's researchers talk through their discovery—which they'll present at Defcon next month—how to check if you have KARR in your car, and how to install the security update to fix its flaws if you do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwA3...

This part in particular is one of the big reasons we have shit. It's not enough to have a useful idea anymore. They don't want mere profitability. They want the Big Bet that makes up for their other Bad Bets. This is, of course, a pretty miserable strategy for actually investing in useful things..

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

I want open borders, how come no one wants to appease me, and always just the racists?

An app is a webpage wrapped in the right kind of IP law to make it a felony to change how it works, which is why companies are infinitely horny to get you to use their apps, not their websites: pluralistic.net/2024/05/07/t... 19/

I look for info on the McConnell situation about 5 times a day, because--legitimately--as a mystery writer I have a major interest in how you hide a dead body.

My room temp and correct take on tipping is that if you make a comfortable living you tip servers always and you tip them well because who the fuck do you think you are

Watching the Wishbone episode about the Odyssey and at the end they actually have the dog explain it began as oral poetry and quote some of the lines in the ancient Greek, this show did not have to go this hard but they really made this wonderfully.

One day I will figure out how to stay calm when I see antisemitic “Stephen miller is a vampire” jokes but today is not the day.

If you have to adopt republican policy to beat republicans, republicans still won. Glad I could clear that up for you.

so this is the sequence? the false positive story gets blasted across media, taylor farms posts a “we’re exonerated!” statement, and then the FDA replies next day saying they absolutely aren’t exonerated, but only over a limited channel (X)?

Hey friends! If you're new around here, Mr. Bree has been a special ed teacher for 22 years & works in a Title I school where his self-contained classroom has endless adventures in learning life skills & cooking & this year gardening! This is our yearly wishlist drop if anyone wants to help!

103. Fritz Leiber was too timorous to write H. P. Lovecraft; so his wife Jonquil wrote to HPL and began a correspondence. Lovecraft managed to read and comment on "Adept's Gambit," the first Fahfrd & Grey Mouser story, before he died.

Jellybean is boarding at the vet to be given water and food, which is about $1k plus the cost of meds possibly. We are still waiting on student aid. If you can help us find the +$1000 so we can continue to choose what's best for her as she recovers, you'd be my hero. Paypal.me/thelionmachine

This is because people who see the reply on their TL don't realize it's not in the large account's own space and reply in their usual fashion, which sends a notification to the OP as well as the large account, whereas a reply to a QP only sends it to the QPer

I need a meme where Satan is checking his tracking info for Mitch McConnell's soul and it says "label created."

5/ Between young women (more progressive, less religious) & young men (less liberal, more religious, less educated). No dating app can bridge that divide. Women are not settling for substandard mates. Project 2025 folks want to catapult (white) women back into 1947 and worse, to force them to.

I saw Jimothy! He was drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic’s, and his hair was perfect.

Because there’s no alt text: a woman in a high-necked, long-sleeved black gown has her hands on the shoulders of two young girls in short black dresses with white pinafores. The girl on the left looks out at the viewer, while the other looks at a man seated at a desk who’s turned his head toward her

really proud of my son, he asked if he could take an unopened box of N95s in to work for his fellow tour guides (or maybe he’s going to offer them to the guests, idk) Told him of COURSE

“At this time, Taylor Fresh Foods has not publicly provided distribution information or a list of customers who received the product that was voluntarily removed from the market,” said the FDA. The fact that they have a choice in this is a problem. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/h...

Today we painted Louisa’s Ghost Bike. It used to be Jessica Mink’s bike. Since 2015, I’ve created about 30 ghost bikes, but this one was the hardest to make so far. I couldn’t have done it without my best friend and brother Galen Mook. We Need Each Other. #NoMoreGhostBikes

I should be sleeping, she says, as she hits the water bottle full of caffeinated hydration powder the stupid thing is it might work

I bitch and moan about the T but it is SO MUCH BETTER than this

oddly enough, I think there was some discussion of this (not the neurotransmitter part) in one of John D. Macdonald’s Travis McGee books it was of course being used as analogy to overcrowded human habitats I wonder if I can find it

Here’s a PSA for people like me who were raised not to waste food (perhaps rather aggressively) we are now dealing with an unreliable food safety system in the US. If something tastes weird or funny or off IN ANY WAY just throw it away.
