we’re replacing OPEC with a gacha machine

The crazy thing is that for most of my life I would go ten, fifteen, sometimes even thirty minutes at a time without thinking about the Reflecting Pool.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a single sentence go downhill this far and this fast

“You are not entitled to a response from us, or anyone, ever,” is what an Education Department spokesperson wrote to one of our reporters, @megomatz.bsky.social, after she repeatedly tried to get comment from the department and its officials. (Published Dec. 2025)

Keir Starmer Resigns Amid ‘Not Being Very Good Prime Minister’ Scandal

Great recap here of the hellacious InfoWars legal drama we've been living in for almost two years now, and the ridiculous machinations we've been going through in order to pay the Sandy Hook families literally anything at all. Good stuff by @lizdye.bsky.social .

“adult human female” being the TERF rallying cry is one of the strangest things to me because it just reminds me of how cattle farmers refer to their livestock

i don't know how to make it clearer that there are 5,000 soldiers + federal agents + the 30-odd police forces that are always here + like the oklahoma sheriff's department for some reason, in an area that is *68 square miles* and has lower crime than many of the places these folks come from

what do you think the news would have looked like if Joe Biden sent this many forces to Wyoming or something

Try topping this.

All the psychologists screaming crying throwing up over this episode gave me flashbacks to psych school. At least once per week a student or professor would pick a fight with me for saying that leaning on pseudoscientific theories that had been repeatedly debunked was, in fact, a bad idea. 🧵

No Kings protest btw

OH RIGHT also fathersday haha

"From the left and the right" *proceeds to make long list of right wing dangers and groups, absolutely nothing from the left*

Longest Day 🫩🥳

“You can’t touch the algae water”

Even his policy proposals — free buses, freezing rents on rent-controlled apartments, five city-run grocery stores — weren't all that far outside the political mainstream. The media has conjured a radical antisemitic insurgent out of thin air.

I'm sorry, but we've passed the point of GreenwaterGate being some cutesy ridiculous story. It sure seems like the WH sent cops to find people to arrest/detain because Trump can't accept that his contractor messed us, decided to blame "liberal scum," and his troops were ordered to find "suspects"

pride cometh #critterposting

I call Elon Musk a Nazi because he's an avowed white supremacist who undermines democracies, incites pogroms, targets minorities, intentionally caused the death of >750,000 people (so far) while laughing about it ("feeding USAID into the wood chipper"), and did a Sieg Heil at Trump's inauguration.

The media is abnormalizing Mamdani as pathologically as they normalize Trump

After spending $14 million in taxpayer funds, Trump's renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool are peeling off and floating to the surface

bringing the paper mustaches back 😭😭😭😭😭

mall construction has advanced to the “adding tacky gold shit” phase

I have to admit, I thought these four years would be really bad, but I didn’t think there would be this many metaphors.

I think it’s important to keep talking about children and social media, but I also think that debate is a cover for what these laws are really about: surveilling the entire population online

something tells me that nothing short of bringing back apartheid would satisfy the administration

Trainspotting. you think im gonna say keep Ewan McGregor but NO i want Robert Carlyle terrorizing muppets

birds do it bees do it even educated fleas do it let's do it let's hate ai

holy shit????? ICE is getting rid of seven of the 11 would-be concentration camp warehouses they purchased and sec. mullin indicates new mass detention centers are not priority. huge!

This is why it's so important to me not to blame people who got something out of these books! It's odious to use your professional credentials to spread misinformation. It's not odious to believe what a trusted expert tells you about their field.

ICYMI: Noto Satoyama Airport in Ishikawa becomes the world's first Pokémon airport on July 7. The rebrand is part of a disaster recovery push after the devastating 2024 Noto earthquake significantly damaged the region.

This is an example of the way AI is a crystallization (though not the origin) of a post-information epistemic culture that has taken an anti-documentarian turn where information no longer operates as evidence of the real world, and conversely can no longer tell when documents are evidence of fantasy

It took 250 years but American cops finally racially profiled a white guy

Those “ghost” Social Security offices aren’t an accident. Trump‑aligned conservatives gutted staffing so phones go unanswered and people give up. Administrative chaos is their back‑door benefit cut. Fully fund SSA and stop the sabotage. #HandsOffSocialSecurity #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Like twice a day now I read a headline that makes me remember that time I went to Versailles with my mom, and she looked around and went, “They had it coming.”

Episode 53: The Body Keeps The Score In 2014, a Dutch researcher revolutionized our understanding of trauma with insights like "don't talk about it" and "get a massage."
