Nah I think this guy is an ideologue

A lot of people on the left think they're too smart to fall for hysteria but they're very much not

Vought has in fact written about his belief that the president is an elected dictator.

I've always maintained that this was doable (if difficult and luck dependent,) and I feel vindicated I can and will try to tackle a mountain lion to save my stupid friends

Here are the stories of some of the human beings who died horrific deaths from preventable disease because Trump and Musk and their flunkies decided to murder them by gleefully destroying USAID and the entire global aid system:

Very informative story about the geography of the Strait of Hormuz, and how its geography (including its islands) affects shipping flows. Cool maps too

First and most importantly, this would represent a proportional response to Trump's madness. Second, it would position Dems as indisputably antiwar. Rather than agonize over how to reach various podcast listeners, they could just earn their respect directly. www.offmessage.net/p/impeachmen...

This disproves a lot of right wing ideas about the causes of the decline in marriage rates

fun fact, there is a Myst location in the Middlesex Fells

this is so painful to read, i love it github.com/stephenturne...

I was wondering why oil futures were declining. Apparently these people put more stock on these reports than simply understanding that it is Sunday evening/early Monday

Was feeling melancholy, but then I dug up Theoden with an undercut from my vault of memes

This is the funniest thing

At this point, you can basically just use these announcements to remind you when futures markets are opening in Asia.

I’ll be fascinated to read the CIA reports on this when the archives are declassified because you know they’re having to delicately dance around the fact the propaganda against our pedo drunk bigot government is effective because the accusations of it being a pedo drunk bigot government are correct.

I had other things I wanted to do today but someone had to do it: A paragraph-by-paragraph takedown of why basically everything in this op-ed is wrong. Kind of shocking how rudimentary the Editorial Board's errors are here (starting with using "messy" to refer to hundreds of thousands of deaths)

Trying to imagine going back in time to the version of myself reading Drudge report during the Clinton impeachment to explain this.

I'm glad the US pilot is safe but the sheer discrepancy shown by most Americans of all political stripes between the value of the life a soldier who *literally signed up for this shit* and the value of the lives of thousands of civilians who didn't is indefensible under any coherent moral code

Nobody ever applies this standard elsewhere. No one says that the People's Republic needs to be abolished because of Mao's famines; no one says that Ethiopia needs to be broken apart due to its war crimes in Tigray; no one says Muscovy is a fundamentally evil state because of 15th century events

This is kind of making me insane as I think about it.

Five books to get to know me by: 1. Seeing Like a State 2. The Art of Not Being Governed 3. The Middle Ground 4. Development as Rebellion 5. The Great Transformation

Multiple Myeloma. 4-generations of pharma-driven drug discovery.

Correct.

2026 "things I watched" thread

not a single Democrat has mentioned the fact that the Trump administration is committing serial felonies by stealing the power of the purse from the legislature

857 THAADs 1,134 PrSMs 785 TLAMs 12 CPSs (finally!) 136 SM-3s 540 SM-6s 333 LRASMs 1,000 FAMMs 1,811 AMRAAMs

i swear this gov is a TV show. the head of intelligence got hacked and used his real name for a porn account. the head of dept of war accidentally texted war plans to a journalist. and now former head of homeland security grappling with husband's secret cross-dressing double life in anti-LGBTQ admin

...God DAMN this is good.

The crown and the staff give this lich concept so much presence and power. Wonderful work by John Patrick Gañas. #beautifulbizarre #fantasyart #deathart #characterdesign #conceptart

at the risk of going full reddit atheist even in the context of all the more directly horrible stuff they're doing, i find this stuff coming from government accounts absolutely stomach churning

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

Untranslated headlines in German are much clearer than New York Times headlines in English

If a country comprising 1/7 of humanity is going to face a food crisis, the world is going to face a food crisis

I hate this, especially when it's a smaller game without many reviews. Don't give bad reviews to things like you like just to make an overused joke

But I thought… nevermind.

The economic fallout from the Strait of Hormuz isn't a hypothetical — it's already there. Most people in Europe and the US just can't feel it yet. A threat on our new @newstatesman1913.bsky.social article: what's heading our way, and why the burden won't be shared equally. 1/

Pass big tax cuts for the rich, slash health care spending, let polluters set environmental/energy policy, start a pointless war in the Middle East.

yes please defend this genius

community notes is a legitimately amazing feature

By best behavior he means not protesting against the specific form of extractive capitalism that gives him unprecedented power over our societies. I’m not okay with that.

Not only is this bad and awful in its own terms but it makes me sick that it's not even congressional appropriations, just executive fiat

In theory this much low hanging fruit simply should not exist - I’m forced to conclude Adams literally refused to take any action if he wasn’t bribed to do it

The Shingles vaccine is linked w/ reduced risk of Alzheimer's in 4 large natural experiments Today, the potential of high-dose flu vaccines vs standard dose in a large retrospective age 65+ cohort for less Alzheimer’s. More pronounced in women (like Shingles vaccines) neurology.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

This is actually a pretty good infographic for the viewers of fox news. Makes it so simple that even they could understand it. Today is 4. Normally is more than 4.

Learned about this today and am now prepared to make it my entire identity for about 2 weeks post-launch

This is your congressional political strategist speaking, I am asking you to keep saying this shit
