Today is our final hearing before our federal trial, which is in 8 days. This case is going to impact your ability to protest ICE and express dissent. Please, help us win it: tinyurl.com/katandre

Well, shit. That seems worthwhile to me.

Currently reading The Smartest Guys in the Room, and it is astonishing how much Secret-Enron-Shit has become not-so-secret OpenAI shit. Enron’s CFO set up his own fund so he could take both sides of Enron’s deal flow. (SCANDAL!) Sam Altman does the same thing (OH SAM, YOU RASCAL.)

If you're reading this, my cat and I have boarded a one-way flight out of the United States. The Trump administration wrongfully denied my work permit renewal; after months of demanding that they follow the law, we have run out of legal recourse, and I have no choice but to leave the country. (🧵)

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

Look I don't believe in restricting voting rights, but I do think that if you believe this story you should not be allowed to vote

Are we sure this isn't an elaborate performance piece?

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

Internal AutoZone memo: “.. We’re facing the largest supply shortage of lubricating fluids in the modern history of America. Realistic, middle-of-the-road estimates are for our average available supply in this product category to drop by 40%.” (via Costa Oil) #$AZO

"They don't have big tits in China" kicks so much fucking ass

BREAKING: The U.S. halts Army deployment to Poland as part of a troop reduction in Europe initially focused on Germany, AP sources say.

“Donald Trump wants to give $1.7 billion dollars of your money to cop-assaulting pedophiles” seems like slam dunk messaging to me but I’m no Neera Tanden

Wow: Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, one of the biggest children's hospitals in the nation, will be forced to create the nation's first ever "detransition clinic" as part of a $10 million settlement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Grid-scale batteries are going in an absolutely wild pace. Every whingey objection to renewables you've ever heard is basically solved by batteries. This is happening whether any of the hopeless dipshits running the US want it or not.

Darkly funny that we’re watching the president die in real time and when he inevitably dies, millions of people will swiftly conclude the visibly decaying 80 year-old was killed by a woke CIA Judeo-transgender conspiracy to shrink video game boobs and make Star Wars worse.

Russian terrorists filmed themselves bombing UN vehicles in the Kherson region, Ukraine, during an aid mission. Under international humanitarian law, deliberately targeting clearly marked humanitarian personnel or civilian vehicles is a war crime.

This 90s nostalgia is so weird (as someone who lived through it), as if kids weren’t being marketed to and eating tons of store-bought treats all the time.

The kids on tiktok are romanticizing the "90's butter mom", moms that lived a slower lifestyle (dunno who told them that, my mom worked 2-3 jobs) with home cooked meals. Then showing off said home cooked meals of frozen fish sticks, boxed mac n cheese, and the mushiest canned green beans.

🚨During lunch at his golf course with tobacco executives on May 2, Pres. Trump called Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Oz, furious. He wanted action on flavored vapes. And he soon got it, prompting the FDA commissioner to resign. w/ the amazing @kenvogel.bsky.social --> 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/u...

The good taxpayers of New York have given me a pair of Meta glasses because I am low vision disabled, and I seem to have used them more than a lot of people on here, so let me say a little about my experiences:

One of the best things I've seen in a while.

Wapo should invite @foldablehuman.bsky.social and a group of other unrelated streamers for a weird, kind of off-putting visit to the building, and then ask him how to build a following on youtube.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s that if you see a BBQ place that looks like this, you eat there.

Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers. /1

This just shows what a mistake it was for the series to go fully 3D. If they’d stuck with a top-down perspective the game would’ve cost half as much to make.

As somebody who is the intolerant left: My bad, but also, I regret nothing.
