One more excuse to post this in 2025, right under the wire. I want to hear this in supermarkets this year.

I've done my research and it's clear that his hand is missing which means that all the Executive Orders and pardons he signed are illegitimate.

Exactly, you can just say stuff! Enweird your language a bit! Maybe people will pick it up from you, but you won't know until you try!

About one week to #MoreJoyDay! If you're planning on doing something, now is a good time to start thinking about what it is!

I love this song for this season but I'd never seen the video before, and ... I don't like it? too overwrought.

When @jkbjournalist.bsky.social, the journalist who really broke the Epstein story, tells us that what we are starting to see is worse than she thought, that is pretty startling.

I will go to my grave baffled that they built a whole cult of Trump Loves And Fights For You around a guy who has very transparently not given a single shit about another human being a day in his life

I don't think Trump should get access to standard medical care, he should have to let RFK Jr treat him

From the legacy of the internment of Japanese Americans, to who profits from jailing immigrants, you asked us critical questions about the network of immigrant detention. Here’s what you wanted to know:

Lyme is one of many health problems caused & exacerbated by manmade climate change. A legitimate health secretary would acknowledge that. We actually had a pretty good Lyme vaccine but antivaxxers lied & said it gave people knee pain (it didn’t but knee pain?) & got manufacturer to pull it in 2002.

I am annoyed by the persistence of 'resist libs are tired of resisting Trump' line. No Kings put record-breaking numbers of people into the streets, specials/off-years are at D+10 or more. I don't think the resist libs are tired. I think some writers are tired of writing about resist libs.

They often seem, moreover, to be completely convinced that they are absolutely right about everything, which is not exactly endearing. Finally, they take it for granted that they can act with impunity; that laws are for little people.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was a Russian asset, what would he be doing differently? If your answer is “nothing,” then ask yourself this: If the US President is a Russian asset, what should *I* be doing differently?

To @asociologist.bsky.social's point, I'm NOT saying home healthcare jobs are inherently bad. I'm saying these jobs are currently undesirable because--w/ care's cost disease and w/o big public investment--home healthcare can't be both affordable for people who need it and adequately compensated. 4/

not too late for a flu shot btw, flu historically often peaks in february and by all accounts it is pretty bad this year

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains For the Beauty of Winona, Daniel Lanois

"omnidirectional incoherence" is a pretty great phrase

A podcast that is only, or primarily, on YouTube isn’t a podcast if you can’t watch that video without being on YouTube. The word “podcast” specifically *means* not being beholden to any tech giants like YouTube/Google/Alphabet. anildash.com/2024/02/05/w...

They won’t leave. But the fact they moan about shows the level of their greed. They couldn’t spend their money, minus the taxes, in multiple lifetimes.

This administration lied about the people it sent to an overseas torture prison. It lies about the people it’s deporting. It lies every day to gain political advantage. Not a chance in hell they won’t lie about huge swaths of people they suspect might vote for the other party.

Honestly im shocked Well Not that shocked

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

that's not the same dog. This is at best patched together from other clips, at worst it's all AI.

this is lovely

... that pug has GOLD CHAINS. AROUND HIS NECK.

It's a weird world when dutifully regurgitating a bunch of carefully curated information that the world's richest man gave you is "fearless journalism," but reporting on how the government is kidnapping innocent people and sending them overseas to be tortured is "not moving the ball forward."

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

The news about Harlequin translators getting fired en masse? You should care about that. They're doing it there because they think nobody gives a shit about romance and so it's fine to experiment with it first.

oh bravo

I remember when I saw the first season of Andor, it quietly blew my mind that there is never, in the entire Narkina 5 arc, a “so what’re you in for” scene. Even to be jokingly dismissed a la Shawshank Redemption We never find out what anyone—except Cassian—is there for Because *it doesn’t matter*

It was the Dunning of tymes. It was the Kruger of tymes.

don't tell them!

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

this is a great piece: I recommend it

Looks like a cybertruck had a lovechild with a littoral combat ship.

It’s the AI Slop Presidency.

I bought a bottle of prosecco when I was at the store, but really I need to lay in a $200 bottle of something. This town is gonna be LIT when IT HAPPENS. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/whe...

I don't know anything about the Navy but my experience suggests it takes at least a decade to design, award, and just *start* construction on major vessels. Dude will be dead and the concept redesigned six times over before a hull is laid. A warship is not a fucking ballroom.

What is described here is systemic, incessant torture. CECOT is a torture prison that Trump has publicly praised. Weiss didn't want us to see it.

I reject this. You are not the boss of me! ... yeah, it's probably true, but I will take the risk. Life has few enough real pleasures, and eating raw cookie dough is one of them.

This is just a note to say that I have eaten the falcon in a widening gyre and that you were probably saving for anarchy Forgive me it was delicious so rough and full of passionate intensity

Trump's DOJ is trying to overturn D.C.'s ban on assault weapons ... while claiming to be SO concerned about crime in the District that it must flood our streets with National Guard troops. I think a president worried about D.C. crime would not be trying to arm criminals with especially lethal guns?

THIS SO MUCH THIS If you want to know "has this specific species been observed on this small island in Alaska", odds are the answer is not online, but in some typewritten USFWS or USFS report in the library Even with wonderful resources like iNat and eBird, huge gaps remain!

She launched her career trying to get professors fired in the name of academic freedom. Her website publishes a firehose of conservative propaganda in the name of open debate. She is now censoring factual information under the guise of journalistic accuracy.

As someone who had a 3.5% interest rate on my credit card in 2007, the current 27% interest rate just blows my fucking mind.
