Next season, the Giants ought to try having pitching.

Bernie's gonna Bernie. He got angry at me when I asked him about Platner's Totenkopf tattoo last year to the point Ron Johnson said "Bernie's pissed."

Our long national nightmare of monitoring coastal environments, marine ecosystems and powerful currents that affect the global climate is coming to an end.

I'm looking for a fluent Czech speaker for an upcoming video about Metal Gear! It's about three lines of dialogue and a little bit of bad(?) singing. If that's you (or someone you know) send me an email with "Kio Marv" somewhere in the subject line. (email in bio) Reposts appreciated!

Billionaire heiress police commissioner Jessica Tisch is smugly taking clean hits on her boss, the mayor, in front of the entire City Council, cheered on by its speaker. City Hall is letting this continue for political reasons, but it's increasingly unsustainable. hellgatenyc.com/nypd-commiss...

Hey, if you live in CA and you haven’t voted yet, today is the PENULTIMATE DAY (that means you also have tomorrow to vote but that’s it). Go cast your vote or drop your ballot off, but I wouldn’t count on it being counted if you mail it at this point. Go vote!

Europeans are so much more enlightened than Americans, I’m sure their deportation camps will have fresher food

The author who published a book about truth and AI that was embarrassingly revealed to have included AI-hallucinated quotes told @wired.com that he'd rather quit writing than quit using AI.

Actually, Bernie, how a candidate treats women is pretty important.

Happy Pride from Dark Horse Workers United! 🏳️‍🌈🐴🏳️‍⚧️

Stuff you can do as an ally 1. Send queer people money and/or give us jobs 2. Get in between queer people and those who intended to do us harm, physically if necessary, but there's a million other ways. 3. Boycott companies that platform oppressors 4. Honestly examine your own gender & sexuality

Okay I gave allies homework now I have homework for my fellow queers Kill your imposter syndrome You're a god damned miracle and are brilliant at what you do — anyone who tells you otherwise, or bullies you for daring to act like you know your worth, are just jelly little shits. Flush 'em.

Hey...uh...happy pride..maybe help a very sick transmasc creator afford getting to extremely important doctor appointments this pride month? Is that like..okay to ask for. I dont do shit like this. Ive only ever posted my art on pride. Im sorry

You aren’t invited to our month.

a lot of thoughts as I finish reading this but the two that stick out: 1) harry holt has an actual number of babies he killed/neglected to death and that number is not widely known or stated enough 2) the repeated death of children should be treated as international incident

The South Korean gov't has recently begun to investigate its role in fraudulent adoptions. For @thebaffler.com, I reviewed a new book about how a messianic quest to “save” Korean children created the intercountry adoption industry and is bound up with a familicide: thebaffler.com/latest/god-s...

It’s June 1 which means it’s time to bust out my best tweet.

And all three are scams lol

I've seen Marc Caputo's internally inconsistent story — though he leads with the "It's dead for now" quote, he later says nothing's final until announced and quotes someone as saying "nothing is final until it's final" — so I'll read it more as, "Some WH folks realize this is a no-go in Congress."

I do think, on a fundamental level they don't want to examine, many people are still unlearning both individual and societal Christian messaging that anything whose primary function is making things easier or more comfortable is a moral weakness, and it's more virtuous to soldier on through

It's now been 250 days since a federal judge dismissed my felony charges. On October 27, the DOJ filed notice of appeal with the 11th Cir. It is now June, and the DOJ has yet to file its appeal brief. 250 days. I'm filing a lawsuit to force them to move forward. You can help me fund it here. thx

three things: 1. hell yeah scott pelly, that's a mic drop right there. 2. dylan byers has this news, and his sourcing usually seems spoon-fed by execs so. maybe not a great sign for nick bilton. or, for that matter, bari weiss. 3. hell yeah scott pelly

Happy Pride, Y’all. The DC Circuit has just enjoined Pete Hegseth from enforcing his anti-trans policy. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

pretending you like it when your candidate does objectively stupid things is in its own way as embarrassing as the current admin guys who have to go on tv and say donald has stopped 400 wars and saved the hot economy 300 times this week

WHAT DAY IS IT

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Happy pride to all my lgbtq+ comrades!!! Here's some cool pride pins I found on the incredible blog "Pauds pins" (link in reply) which is devoted to cataloging Paul Hegarty's (owner of the revolutionary bookshop "Gays the word") gay rights pin collection that was found in his attic after his death.
