Is the MTA making merch with the F M Swap icon cause they should be

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by karoline leavitt’s lip fillers than the fact that congress just said, “what we should do is put any doctor or pharmacist in prison who gives lifesaving medical care to this specific kind of child we find gross.”

insurance companies literally kill people

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering. www.newsweek.com/map-us-strik...

I will NEVER vote for a politician who votes for anti-trans legislation. Never. I don't care who it is, it's a dead issue. Move on. If my vote is so important to the future of democracy they should have thought of that before they voted to exterminate my child.

who could’ve predicted this

Cars are a lot slower than people think. This driver commutes at 4 MPH. That's barely faster than walking (avg walking pace is around 3.3 MPH) They could cut their commute to 15 minutes biking at 12 MPH, but they might not have a safe route to do so We are forcing people into terrible car commutes

you have to be Ezra Klein levels of liberal shit-for-brains to believe the main problem in our society is that we lack good ideas, and not the political will to execute them

horrendous company

The notion electric cars would scale rapidly in the United States, and that autonomous vehicles would quickly dominate our streets, was pretty much accepted wisdom in ~ 2018. It was completely mathematically illiterate. Wishcasting from carbrains who can't bring themselves to look at the problem.

Why yes, happy to meet with you about work on Thursday afternoon. Great, looking forward...

The US car industry designs its vehicles to ensure back-over killing of children. I bet you didn't know this, but there are no actual safety regulations for cars in USA the way that you think of "regulations." NHTSA sets guidelines, but manufacturer compliance is voluntary and self-certified.

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

Once in a century political opportunity here, if only there were a party to claim it

yikes

Lot of shit things happened this year but on the other hand I just scared my cat laughing after suddenly remembering that Fat Joe tried to claim the Taliban both took a day off when michael jackson died and were shown on CNN solemnly body popping in his memory.

Did you know that Merriam-Webster recent released their own Large Language Model?

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

I try to remember that whenever we talk about how much of a fucked up horror show the world is, what we mean is that the world is full of good people being wronged and beauty being destroyed, that we risk losing all of it—not a denial of the good in the world but its affirmation.

The easiest way to emigrate to Canada after WWII was to claim you were an anti-communist and the easiest way to prove you were anti-communist was to present your literal Nazi service records. Canada was basically Argentina with moose and maple syrup.

Practicing peace is hard. It means practicing justice and it means not indulging an understandable desire for revenge. This is hard. But practicing peace is practicing survival for our species and our ecosystems.

Noticing that Democrats are passing “right to die” laws before passing “right to housing” or “right to healthcare” laws www.nprillinois.org/government-p...

The basic premise of the Second Amendment has proven itself to be a sham. The government already *has* crossed the Rubicon into full-throated tyranny and open authoritarianism, and the 2A gun zealots didn't form a militia to fight it - they cheered it on.

Put all the guns in the sea. I don't care

Parody of America to have the president live-tweeting misinformation about a mass shooting

AS A PROFESSOR, I AM ASKING HOW ARE OUR STUDENTS SUPPOSED TO LEARN IN THESE CONDITIONS? HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO TO SCHOOL AND TAKE EXAMS KNOWING SOMEONE MIGHT JUST SHOW UP WITH AN EASY TO ACQUIRE AUTOMATIC WEAPON? HOW??????????

looking great, sir

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

As of today, the only person in this Daily Penn visual that hasn't been fined millions of dollars or convicted of a felony is Luigi Mangione, believe it or not

People who bet on this on Kalshi are not pleased. Lol

I can’t believe it flopped. I thought everyone was dying for a badly written account of what it’s like to have phone sex with a spoon stuck in a garbage disposal.

Well I've got no fucking idea what this reminder was for

I will never get over the fact that the MTA runs two commuter rail systems, and they hate each other so much that they disagree on how they spell "railroad".

never forget desantis himself was credibly accused of witnessing (and reveling) in the torture of inmates at guantanamo during the gwot. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

bring back reading! reopen the schools!

anyone ever on their first visit to Montreal:

undercovered as part of Our Current Nightmare that 60% of Republican SCOTUS appointments in the 21st century got there by stealing the 2000 election for Bush.

Easy to be so glib about doing something you know the department will get sued over when it will just come from dc tax payers and never touch your pension

I'm so tired man. I need you cis people to understand this. Rachel Levine did everything right. Legal name change. Legal sex update. So professional and accomplished she got SENATE APPROVAL as an open trans woman. There's nothing we can do that they won't ignore to hurt us. So don't let them.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.
