I do wonder if all the folk who have “come within 200 feet” are looking at that weird shit on his hand and those trips to Walter Reed and starting to sweat a bit

ah yes it's that thing where people keep asking the question that is answered on the shirt www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/u...

How gullible do you think I am, this is wood

Honestly kind of wish Vought had gotten therapy after his divorce instead of inflicting his nihilistic bullshit on the entire rest of the country

This damn post has absolutely ruined my brain every time I hear someone mention "for the time being." Major kudos to the poster, if I ever meet you in person I will congratulate you and then punch you in the face.

I don’t have anything profound to add the discourse, but I am begging this country to take the loss today to prevent greater strategic defeat and, most importantly, preserve life tomorrow. There is simply no justification for this president to remain in office and for this war to continue.

Two weeks, you say?

100% advocate the "all income is taxed the same, everyone pays at least a little" approach. Wages? Income. Investments? Income. Inheritance? Income. Gift? Income. Tax rate doesn't start at 0, but it does start very low and progress to something quite high.

Have you not seen the greatest post in Bluesky history?

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Here, the complete chronological watch order. Note this is chronological for the universe and not for the characters, time travel shenanigans are slotted at the year they take place in an absolute sense. And the TNG/DS9/VOY mess is by stardate when they interact but by series when they don't.

I raise you a Peggy Olson Plan B ad

I mean: My God. I do not get how people think voting doesn’t matter. The Presidential election in 2000 was decided by fewer votes than this! A lot of things might have been different with a President Gore

Okay, so Congress is considering giving the Pentagon $200B to go do whatever they're doing in Iran. If, instead, we decided to spend that money on building solar + storage -- just the USG gifting complete farm installations to utilities -- at $1M/MW, that'd be 200GW of electric.

Or, in the US: Remember when all the apex predator birds died from DDT? I remember when it was a huge deal that there was a single peregrine falcon nest on a local smokestack Now you see them out and about, wherever. Just falcons again. And eagles. And cranes.

“Don’t know shit about your enemy. Assume he is a stupid baby.” —Sun Tzu

To all the people who have been publicly spoiling for this war in bad faith for the past four decades, knowing that no president would be fool enough to actually do it: Fuck you

Sustained good faith diplomacy leading to enforceable multilateral agreements and shared prosperity for all.

Who could ever have guessed Iran would do the thing they would obviously do in this situation

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Apple would also sell a crapton of the Mini with an A-series processor and a couple hundred dollars off

Well, now that the dow is below 50,000 dollars can we prosecute the child molesters please

I can't say I _like_ the idea of our admin using AI tools to surveil me, or literally anything else they might do. But also: Software companies using "you didn't buy this, you licensed it, so our contract says how you can use it" is horseshit Ford doesn't get to say that about trucks

On one hand: The US has shown the world that even your staunchest, most stable ally can transform into an erratic bully, so yeah maybe everyone should get nukes! On the other hand: Anyone else can also transform into erratic bullies so maybe let’s not proliferate so much please

i say let them do it. if i were a senate democrat i would relish the opportunity to let the country know that republicans don't think you should vote if you are a married woman www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/u...

I know it’s a meme but the winter olympics are brutal as hell

i was all “why was mr banks so hung up about tuppence” so i looked it up and damn that was like $18000 in todays money regency england was wild, kids wanting to spend car money on kites and bird ladies

Unpopular opinion: Dems should let the SAVE Act come up for a vote in the Senate. Republicans want to make everyone get a copy of their birth certificate or passport and re-register to vote? Really? How do you think that's going to work out in November?

It is really remarkable to me how much computers have, in fact, learned to write code The hallucinated APIs are basically gone. There are still some questionable design choices and a tendency to repeat code but overall... phew. I'm using it to help learn Swift and damn

Should you ever need to run a glucose curve (we're doing one for the cat) and the worksheet you got is dumb, you could use this: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

If it's true that Moderna stopped the development of effective mRNA vaccines because of the FDA's anti-vax stance, somewhere like China has a golden opportunity to develop those vaccines and then cash in on a vaccine tourism industry

EBV infection is also likely a very important cause of lupus, which is also very bad to have

god remember when people were buying references to ape cartoons for like a million dollars that was great

I mean unless massively inflamed testicles are something that excites you

Steeple Syre, MN

For reference: There are about 175M registered voters in the US, and at a very rough estimate, there's a precinct for every ~1000 voters. So if folks are talking about "ICE will surround the polling places!" that's them surrounding ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND PRECINCTS

So (7) says to preserve—but strikes me more as create—the right of state and local govts to file criminal charges in excessive force cases. Details will matter, but if that’s a statutory waiver of supremacy clause immunity, that strikes me as potentially a REALLY big deal.

why does every FSA website feel like it is run by scammers

The sirens' songs in Hades II are absolute delights. The main Oceanus soundtrack in particular. Fighting hordes of monsters to a creepy lullaby is 1000% my jam

I am fully on board with this. Much simpler and more effective than debating whether Trump and his cronies are Fascists or Nazis or something slightly different is: Call them what they call themselves: MAGA. That's the political ideology behind all this. daringfireball.net/2026/01/the_...

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

Things are awful, but not hopeless.

Pretty rich from a guy who got his wardrobe from a middle school production of Schindler’s List

It may actually be good for the republic to never have “the presumption of regularity” ever again.

See, folks? That’s how you use the active voice in headlines writing

iPhone Mirroring is super useful but HOLY HELL do I wish I could have it leave the window title bar visible the lil "hover to reveal the close button oops the window changed size oops your cursor moved and it's gone again" thing is infuriating

Every single time I have seen Trump describe someone as "low-IQ" that person is Black He could just say "Black"

Can't believe Docker has let this UI thing go on so long. One trashcan clears the log; the other one destroys the container Find a different icon for "clear the log" y'all
