This hits just right

SCOTUS actually got this one right, and this headline doesn't really explain what happened. The State struck all but one of the Black jurors from the jury pool. The Defense objected, but the Court ruled in favor of the state without letting the Defense fully argue the issue.

I’m seeing a lot of posts drifting in from alternate timelines where pundits suggest there’s some scenario in which Cornyn “could have” take some principled stance against Trump rather than losing as a sycophant, and I only ask: can we have some of that dank you’re smoking over there?

It's like Woodstock for people who don't have custody of their kids

hey so lots going on i know but this right here is a whole fucking slow motion ongoing tragedy

When another little boy has a figgy pudding

If no one ever draws a line, that's the ballgame. So clown the AI types every chance you get. Tell retailers you won't buy this stuff. MAKE IT KNOWN. Press back everywhere.

I can say this for Alito his ability to be pissy little bitch is unrivaled peerless in the little bitch field

doing whatever it takes to make jodie foster think you’re cool

I've been burned too many times to get too optimistic about Democrats' chances in Texas, but I will say that the national party doesn't usually send us the big guns.

AI education in schools? Absolutely. Kids should know the risks of engaging with AI technology since we know they will be at some point. They should know how it interacts with delusional thinking, suicidal thinking, other kinds of mental illness. They should know it’s designed to be sycophantic.

This puts the security debate in better perspective. I know this space really well. The guy wasn’t anywhere near the ballroom. He was basically trying to rush the security perimeter and failed. It’s a big complex with lots of different event happening at the same time.

To all journalists and news organizations attending tonight's White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner:

If you can't tell a six year old a story about helicopters, nothing's gonna save you

I'll say it again, one of the worst things this rampant push to cram "generative AI" into everything has done is make people suspect bright kids of cheating when they're just nerdy or bookish or neurodivergent, sanding down their unique edges to fit into people's lowered, homogenized expectations.

It's important to remember that, yes, sometimes good things still happen. www.dailymail.com/news/article...

Trump’s morning posts: — Let’s kill Iranians who don’t want a deal — I’m ordering the Navy to shoot any boat putting mines in the Strait — We actually have full control over the Strait — I don’t need a deal

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Unsurprising but fuck this

Yeah cause it’s the kind of thing you propose building to appease the ego of a narcissistic leader whose army just got its asked kicked by a Black military general (Touissant L’Overture) and Black enslaved people who ran your troops off their island. It’s a monument to ego and defeat. Perfect.

Actually got choked up remembering having a president like this.

This is now the only thing I'll think of when I hear the phrase "Fighting Irish"

This is Ricky. He was a runner-up in a pet photographer's "My Fabulous Weirdo" competition. Unfortunately when you are this fabulous, it can be very hard for the weird to shine through. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: portraitsofdogs)

Thots and prayers to all my Sports Lesbians today.

Not only did the sons probably call ICE on her, the day after her husband died they took their dad's cars, leaving her housebound. Then they rerouted mail, causing her to miss a visa appointment & the utilities to be turned off. Tony and Gary Ross are going to hell. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/16/u...

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.

Waiting for them to lock the exits like it's the goddamn triangle shirtwaist factory

Now send JD Vance to run the publicity team for the new Harry Potter series.

Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad

Yes, should be noted that when Vance joins Kushner and Witkoff he is not joining a team of negotiators but a pair of war profiteers.

Excited for another pile-on where people ask me WELL WHAT DO YOUUUUUU EXPECT THEM TO DOOOOOO but here's the thing: I expect them to do fucking something. They are elected officials. They represent us. They have immense power, even in the minority. If they are too afraid to wield it, step aside.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Emo Trump's in his fake friends era.

Yeah so he is just going to keep doing the thing where we are in a constant state of uncertainty, confusion, stress, and tension because that is what abusive people do and the people who are in a position to address this are asleep at the switch.

"Schumer takes no action" will be on his tombstone

T-3 hours. Here's where we're at: 1) Trump takes the two week reprieve from Pakistan, claims his bluster got Iran to blink and re-open the Straits; 2) Nobody blinks, but Trump decides to be "humane" and limit the scope of strikes at 8pm, with threat of "biggest annihilation ever"; or 3) Genocide

doing fascism on people you dislike is still doing fascism and y'all can fuck all the way off with it

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

"If you remove him you get Vance." You're familiar with Donald J Trump's foreign policy where we remove a country's leaders one by one until we get to one we can do business with? No reason impeachment can't work the same way

It’s giving Jonestown.

Today I learned I can read German

Keep going. Save yourself.

Seeing a million people turn out and snake through a large city is very cool, I won’t deny that but my favorite genre of post during these protests is “small town in a red state with the biggest crowd anyone has ever seen”
