Christ this is depressing. Out of all the infrastructure we could have built. What a fucking waste of time, energy, money, worry, you name it.

Last night: Over a thousand Mainers got drenched in Portland. We’re building a movement, and nobody — not Susan Collins, not Chuck Schumer — is going to stop us.

We need all interns to hide all the phones in congress and I am not kidding.

Whales are so cool man we don't deserve them

5/ The Trump administration has continually escalated its immigration crackdown. And oversight groups that would typically keep them in check, such as the DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, have been dismantled in DOGE’s sweep: www.propublica.org/article/home...

Do old people know they get like 2000000000 coolness points if they have eyebrow piercings?

I get there's a lot of fear of retribution, charges, etc whatever and that documentation is still important, but it's getting very soul breaking seeing the 50th video of someone getting assaulted where there's a crowd of like 20 press people all recording and no one intervenes.

new episode of kill the computer joined by @bencollins.bsky.social to talk about how the onion was set to release a jeffery epstein mockumentary in theaters, but after the charlie kirk assassination the deal was pulled due to political instability. we also chat about the current media landscape

Without further ado, here is the trailer for Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. Against all odds, it will air in select theatres on October 2nd, along with the theatrical debut of Sex House. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. And, yes, this is real.

In a newly filed motion to join an ongoing lawsuit agst abortion pills, Louisiana revealed it has a warrant for ANOTHER out-of-state abortion provider—who they accuse of enabling a 'coerced' abortion. This builds on antis' top strategy lately: equating abortion w/ abuse:

The thing is you can espouse the satirical genius of SP all you want, but it's consistent throughline is that it's funny to be mean and it's uncool to care, and when a non-insignificant amount of your audience is preteen boys, maybe you oughta concede that some aren't gonna pick up on the satire.

This might be an unpopular take, but I wish we had the same level of outrage for people being disappeared as we did for Jimmy Kimmel. Two-thirds of detainees held at the concentration camp in the Everglades have disappeared. No record of them anywhere… Is it because Kimmel is white?

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

A dreary, overcast day, but still...

Having read through all the quote tweets and most replies.... I still think it's this: Biden was a compromise pick by powers that placed themselves above the electorate in the hopes of pulling moderate voters, who then went on to push compromise policies in the hopes of pulling moderate Republicans🧵

MMMMM YEAH BABEEEEE THAT'S THE GOOD STUFF!!!!!!

"To create the batteries we need to keep the whole world's lights on when the sun goes down and the wind stops blowing, we will need to extract *one seventeenth* of the amount of minerals we burn *every year* in the fossil fuel system" pluralistic.net/2025/09/23/o...

The 2 most “did I stutter” moments in the Bible are you have to love everyone and you won’t know when Jesus is coming back, and there’s so many people that want to argue both points

we're smoking tylenol. i injected myself with 80 gallons of horse vaccine and it turned me into a telekinetic mutant with unfathomable psychic potential. if that pussy isn't autistic, i don't want it. this shit ain't nothing to me man

Or like, when people are like "this is like the hunger games" BABES, THE HUNGER GAMES WAS INSPIRED BY THE IRAQ WAR AND REALITY TV 😭

Me anytime I learn a Fun Fact

New: We have just sued ICE to demand it turns over a secretive spyware contract that it refuses to release: www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

404 media once again proving why they deserve your subscription dollars. they punch far above their weight for such a small team.

The apex of Japanese cinema.

Had another vivid apocalyptic nightmare again! I love having exactly enough knowledge and imagination to perfectly and realistically render the last moments before earth crashes into another celestial body!! This is certainly fine and not psychologically damaging at all!!

"Mom, hold very still for a sec."

The real risk of geoengineering is not some Hollywood-style catastrophe, but complacency. A cheap way to delay the effects of warming risks undermining the need to rapidly reduce emissions. This risk locking our children into a dependency where stopping becomes too expensive to contemplate.

Welp, updated my "biggest wind turbine in the world" slide again. Last time I taught thermo, it was a 19 MW turbine with 128 m blades. This year, it's 26 MW with 150 m blades. Always offshore, always in China. Context: A Boeing 747 is 71 m long. 150 m is about the height of a 50-story skyscraper.

If I've learned anything in my entire life of being aware of politics, it's that these people only respect strength and conviction, and you guys show your stomachs at every damn opportunity.

Getting a little tired of people acting like being glad when bad things happen to people you do not like and upset when bad things happen to people you do like is hypocritical and not just the most absolute basic social animal nature.

Passed a bunch of kids on scooters and longboards on my way to the recycling. They were playing the drunken sailor shanty instrumental on their phones. Maybe the kids are alright.

Man we're heading into some like neo-dark age soon aren't we

If a candidate doesn't share the values that are most important to me, I won't vote for them! I'm not a sports fan dude, I'm not here for the logo

Let me be the one to say it plain and clear. America is not intelligent or self-sufficient enough as a nation to be isolationist. American exceptionalism is a dangerous delusion. Like an Icarus level delusion. And it's so deep too many folks don't realize the wings already burned & we're plummeting.

Just finished Shaun of the Dead for the first time and.. this movie is straight trash. How was everyone tripping over themselves over this??? Fancy editing and directing gimmicks in the first half hour do not a good movie make. I don't think I've ever felt so put off by a protagonist before.

Sometimes the algorithm delivers something good. 😩🤌

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

I found out from my mom that I was apparently actually super involved in play-testing Jumpstart games as a very young child, and suddenly my extremely clear memories of edutainment games that don't seem to exist make a ton of sense.

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

I felt like the queen of England leaving my babysitee's neighborhood just now. Just turning from left to right and back, waving goodbye to perfectly-spaced-apart children and parents, rolling forward at 4 miles an hour because everyone's on scooters.

Fucking new Hampshire

I am willing to compromise to this from my position of "every fed gets term limits and afterwards they get put in a zoo for the rest of their life." Taken care of and safe behind a trench and bars, but the public can still throw things at them.

I re-learn this like every seven months or so.

The absolutely disgusting, pathetic, squirming, spineless, brainless, greedy worms inspire more rage in me than fucking anything. They brought us here.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Not a sentence I ever expected to type in my lifetime but Catholics need to up their gatekeeping: way too many Protestants praying the rosary these days

"Catholic" btw
