That's 4 of Tucker's 7000 subscribers accounted for.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

It's bone-smashing. Been at it with the hammer all morning.

“Jeff Landry eliminated the role as part of an effort to reshape the city’s judicial system,” says the Times, once again taking Republican claims of neutrality at face value when their actual goals are obvious.

Strip Heritage and other right-wing fake charities of their tax exempt status. Destroy the GOP infrastructure.

Assembling a team of ding-a-lings is something anyone can do.

“I took the ‘is your brain melting’ test and I scored ‘you need to take this test over and over.’”

GS: The hyperscalers' earnings growth this quarter was boosted by an unusually large contribution from equity stakes in private companies.

Sometimes it DOES pay to read the comments

Good piece by @nikobowie.bsky.social and Daphna Renan on reining in our corrupt Calvinball SCOTUS, how historically SCOTUS has resisted Congressional attempts to rein in white supremacy, and the importance of doing court reform right this time. Highly recommended.

THIS GLOVE KEPT SLAPPING PEOPLE, AND I WAS GETTING BLAMED

Bet my guy wouldn't have run over a group of consultants telling him Cornell should spend $100 million on AI

This is the kind of return on investment we get from NASA. A photograph of the rings of Saturn taken from orbit of the giant planet. And in the distance, that bright star is the planet Venus.

Anyway I think we should ban short-form video platforms because the people who rely on them for their information act perpetually concussed

The "stick it to those liberals for ammuricah" ecosystem being somewhat funded by foreign interests looking to undermine America was something you already figured, but it's been surprising just how much the boat was being floated

I teach this in my IP law class b/c when asked in an interview who owned the patent, Salk replied: "Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?" He looked for vaccine solutions his entire life…including a quest for a vaccine to prevent HIV from becoming AIDS.

Job hunting in a hostile environment. ✨

just overheard a 4th grader telling her friend, "if you ever need to distract some boys, literally just draw an X in the dirt. they'll stop to dig it up, they can't help it" which is the only gender metric I'll be using, moving forward

it’s so beautiful

if you learn the shape of this black deposit of soil (it cuts through Mississippi & Georgia too) you will begin to see it on literally any map that tracks disparate outcomes.

I think about this all the time.

One of my favorite animal videos, probably taken at Disney's Animal Kingdom: four asian small-clawed otters racing back and forth across the grass like a troop of predatory socks, hopping up to try and snatch a butterfly out of the air.

Despite creating a billion-dollar franchise - with a new $200M budget Hollywood blockbuster launching in a month - the creator of He-Man's family were unable to afford his dementia and care facility costs, and had to setup a GoFundMe. Mattel gave $5,000.

Spirit Halloween has the chance to do the funniest thing.

And now, your moment of Zen…

Remember when it was a (apocryphal iirc) scandal that George H.W. Bush was unfamiliar with grocery scanners? This dumb asshole doesn't know how to play Uno, and yet we'll probably never think of this again after tonight.

"But the white supremacist tattoo isn't a dealbreaker in Maine" is not the own people think it is

that "lebron is 41-15 in closeout games" stat is something you hear and reflexively go "yeah, it's lebron, that sounds right" and then you think about it for two seconds and it seems impossible

the magic's boxscore from 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter until the final buzzer never seen anything like it truly amazing

This is the second night in a row I've missed historic playoff basketball because every bar and restaurant in Philly *insists* on only showing the Phillies. Baseball. A 12-19 team. In the first week of May. Please GTFO with that nonsense.

Fun Fact: That’s future Looney Tunes legend Chuck Jones as the executioner holding the sign.

in many, many other contexts [see: family guy skin tone chart] ramming a car into a crowd of peaceful student demonstrators would be called "terrorism"

Every crowd shot looks like it could have come right after Undertaker’s wrestlemania streak ended

just think, your team blows a 24-point lead in a closeout home game.....and you have to live in Orlando

The Magic have 15 points on 3-for-32 shooting in the second half.

Man, if only Scalia's seat had opened up during Obama's second term.

It's so weird to grow up in the 80s and 90s, where we were taught unequivocally that all Nazis should get the rope, to be alive now where people try to pretend that that shit is a normal phase for men. Or that a nazi is someone with merely a different opinion. No the fuck it isn't!!!!
