I still remember this one and giggle occasionally

A few people have replied to my Artemis posts with links to Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon." Here's a story from Space.com about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, currently en route to fly around the Moon, and his connection to that piece. www.space.com/space-explor...

With regard to our berobed and beshitted Justice Alito: If the Founders had no capacity to conceive of illegal immigration, then they also had not the imagination to conceptualize automatic weapons. Originalism is and always was a pathetic, desperate lie of miserable, ideological shitheels.

Questions to Sauer: What the fuck are you talking about man? Questions to Wang: Hmm... interesting. Have you thought about this though?

Important context here!

The current state of American experiment in self-governance is such that I am not going to go anywhere the fuck near April Fools Day. Just no.

I once had the only seat in the plane with an empty middle and I was near the front. <30 mins into a 5 hour flight, the FAs realized they'd screwed up and allowed a non English speaking couple to sit in the exit row, which is against FAA regulations. 1/2

He eats salad, but you have to know that he eats it in an aggressive, manly way. Not like those delicate ladies, amirite?

Abundance is not a "big new idea." It's the same warmed over crap we've been fed since the Clinton administration.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Thanks to everybody who shared and engaged with this piece! I'm closing socials for the day to protect my sanity a little, but I really do appreciate all the comments and thoughts and questions (less so the extremely aggressive emails, fix your hearts folks). www.coyotemedia.org/the-olympics...

Wahowa? Wahaowa? I really dislike virtual staging in real estate listings, but this one takes the cake for terribleness. Listing notes that it is rented to UVA students through 2027, and apparently the AI staging prompt just ran with that to some really tacky places. www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

Busted down a killer muffuletta on the way to be fitted for a dress. My sister is aghast. I’m of the opinion that if the dress doesn’t fit after a sandwich, then the dress *did not fit*. I’m so happy to be old.

student journalism is in absolute flower at the moment, a compilation of student journalists would be a landmark issue if it weren’t the atlantic’s policy that they should all shut up

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

Near as I can tell, his entire premise is "we've done other shitty wars for shitty reasons before, too!" www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/o...

This is a beautiful summary of why I roll my eyes every presidential election when people vote 3rd party because they "want to change the two party system." The people you're voting for don't really want to change it. You want it more than they do.

Every fucking day, more evidence of how deep and evil the grift is.

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

Okay, who did this? 🤣 (Honestly surprised the domain was only registered in 2025!) istrumpdeadyet.com

Mueller absolutely saved Trump’s ass. He’s just too stupid to realize it. That’s the irony that’s screwing us all. The institutionalists keep institutionalizing while Trump sets about destroying them.

Finished this one up this afternoon. What a great read, I think I need to track down the movie adaptation (I hear that has its own fascinating history of suppression).

Oh c'mon, can we dispense with this fiction that he's anything but a right wing cranky old man? "With his largely center-left views, the 70-year-old Maher doesn’t belong in that cohort, though some of his positions are idiosyncratic, and he has a tendency to punch left as well as right."

Like, well, pretty much everybody, the Cesar Chavez story broke @coyotemedia.org's heart. There's so much to say about it, but @soleilho.com swung big: can we all agree to just... skip the whole hero thing entirely? www.coyotemedia.org/kill-the-her...

God the Cesar Chavez stuff is just…men really should start out six feet under and work their way up.

another year, another ranking of humanoid mascots in the NCAA men’s tournament. first up, as usual, is the Duke Blue Devil, whom I need barely mention—

Right wing men desire a world ruled by hierarchy and domination, and the way they treat women and girls is an extension of that principle. Left wing men desire a world ruled by equality and dignity, and the way they treat women and girls is an exception to that principle.

Late civil rights icon Cesar Chavez accused of sexually abusing young girls in the movement for years Dolores Huerta also discloses for first time that that Chavez raped her. Gift link:

Would watch every one of them!

Have you really marked St. Patrick's Day if you haven't heard the Leprechaun Brothers rendition of this classic? youtu.be/4XWP_CKnJIg?...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of a serious case of Dunning-Kruger must be in want of a phone call from Isaac Chotiner.

What in the "our slaves are happy" kind of antebellum bullshit is this? The abolitionist founders of The Atlantic are ready to bust out of their graves and slap the shit out of everyone who thought *this* was worth publishing.

A large what did what now?

Spoiler alert: Rep. McGuire's official newsletter did not, in fact, contain anything that could be accurately described as "winning," nor did he detail what we are allegedly winning. Rep. McGuire did get a cookie from Steve Scalise, so there's that.

There's a big brouhaha about how younger people are drinking less and less, and while there are several reasons, being on a cornucopia of better drugs for treating anxiety and depression is a large part of it.

**CONFIRMED: the temperature fall from 87° yesterday to 33° today in 21 hours is a record temeprature fall for Charlottesville (54 degrees) since records began at CHO in 1961. Big props to Peter Forister (GOAT) for the information!

Accurate.

POV: you're a forsythia in central Virginia and you decide a few straight days of warm weather in March means it's time to bloom. Virginia weather: How about a 54 degree temperature drop in <24 hours and some snow?

Go home, weather, you're drunk.

Cool, cool.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

I can't compete with this.
