god help me and fuck Chuck Schumer, but it's genuinely bullshit that Schumer is the key image here. it was a party line vote, with Schumer voting against. only Dem that broke ranks was Fetterman, of course.

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

Wait, the Cornyn-Paxton runoff is 2.5 months from now?? That is an insane amount of time between an election and a runoff!

the Rangers suck, news at 11

Resistance is important to try to stop the rise of fascism. But also: most of the time it just works!

uhhh not an expert here but, uhhhhh

folks we’re going to see some wild litigation between the world’s worst people

I am personally pretty done with selling Girl Scout cookies, but this restaurant plays Mariachi music the whole time and that makes it more bearable!

The Great Lakes - they're scary!

Love it when our nation’s defense contractors all spend their Friday nights subtweeting each other about killing everyone in the world

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance. Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

very proud to support the @aclu.org !

art of the deal, baby

💪

lol Angels

This is really bad

That is…pretty great

That fan looks dope #Astros

Good article that gives me more hope about defeating Trump in the midterms and beyond!

john arbuckles lasagna dinner has the potential to be a great date night meal—if garfield doesnt get in his way

Just another great reason to use my favorite browser/employer!

One big lesson I’ve learned is that you can defy Trump and they’ll try to punish you and they will eventually fail

My kid just asked if someone was alive in 1986 if they could still be alive today, and I’m like…bro

(3 on 3 hockey is still kinda dumb though)

Anyone else tear up at that Hershey’s Olympics ad? Just me? youtu.be/7vMZR94DP5o?...

#Astros first spring training game is today, let’s gooooo

I think they’ve really misjudged the situation if they believe JD has some kind of special pull in Rome, but if their intention is to keep humiliating him by sending him there then I get it.

Easy to forget in light of the worse stuff going on, but: there’s a lot of corruption happening!

So archive.today (archive.is, archive.md, etc.), the archive site that is frequently used to bypass paywalls, added javascript to their site that causes unwitting users to DDoS a blogger they don't like... Not good gyrovague.com/2026/02/01/a...

No worse feeling than thinking you’re going to get a todo item taken care of and then having it exploded into several more todos 🙁

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

I’m sorry, I try not to share bad takes, but this is so insane it made me laugh. Doing 9/11 to cover up 9/11!

hah!

USA wins their hockey game in overtime - exciting! (3x3 hockey is real weird though…)

In my humble opinion, if we want to push back on the current political culture of trampling on the very concept of civic virtue, we're just gonna have to live with some people tying those virtues to their faith. It's okay to talk about why a belief in Jesus makes you want to be a good person IMO

Yay!

Seems like a bad year to be a US Olympian that NBC is highlighting 😬 Hope they’re doing ok…

Yup

probably the weirdest reason to lose a baseball season

Hmm seems bad

lol

I know it’s a long way off, but I’m staking my claim: I am _not_ voting for Joe Lieberman

This is very cool!

see this is why, as much as many national dems suck, I think there is room for optimism this didn’t used to be the response from blue states! that a number of them immediately grabbed the baton and went for their own aggressive gerrymanders is very encouraging! some of our democrats are learning!

the future is now!
