You might enjoy reading it! I mean, for uh, particularly specific definitions of "enjoy" that don't have much to do with actual enjoyment? www.liberalcurrents.com/what-trump-s...

So he’s just going to drop a 2nm fab between College Station and Houston, with no experience doing semis fabrication. Sure. No questions.

“It’s basically like: Either work with them, or they’re going to do it anyway. I know a lot of landowners down here don’t really have the means to fight back in court, or the means to get legal representation, or even know that process.”

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE TAGGING ME IN ON THE VATICAN / PENTAGON BEEF HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Absolutely INSANE twilight aurora just now from my driveway in North Pole, Alaska. Incredible motion and color, one of the best of the season. Watch until the end, wow!

Congratulations, Republicans! You now 100% own the chaos at our nation's airports. The voters will no longer question who is responsible for making their lives so difficult.

The TSA is giving directions to the end of the line. ICE is standing in pairs every hundred feet or so, not giving directions, not line-wrangling, mostly on their phones.

Who knew what? When did they know it? How close were they to Trump's inner circle? And can anyone within or around the orbit of this regime be trusted to put the interests of the American public above their own pocketbook? It is maddening that we even need to ask these questions.

In the State of the Union Adress Trump says that AI data centers will have to create their own power with their own generators, but this can't be done without destroying the environment and poisoning people living in the surrounding area. Musk is being sued for this. www.selc.org/news/xai-bui...

Remember last year when he introduced the child with brain cancer, pledged to fight brain cancer, and then a few days later cut all of the funding to that program?

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Just ran across this, and y'know, something delightful and joyous sounds like a good way to start the year. youtu.be/bTGdGKEEiYE?...

Musk deciding to aim his Death Star at the 2026 elections is the biggest political story since the election, if not of the whole year. We know his playbook. And we know his greatest advantage is Democrats' fear of fighting his fire with water.

Excellent news!

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins. It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia. The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

Muggsy Schow is family. Any help you can provide this spectacular little guy will be appreciated by @davidjschow.bsky.social, Kerri, and the Muggs himself, not to mention the pet lovers here at SubPress. www.gofundme.com/f/muggsy-nee...

This is absolutely delightful! A Hockey Team Recreated The Evangelion Intro For A Stadium Full Of Fans aftermath.site/neon-gensis-...

NEW: DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign. We found that a firm with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly benefited from the deal.

Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.

My mom had stories of going to Clifton’s when she worked downtown in her first “real” job.

I would like to know how we can identify the specific persons at CNN who researched, wrote, edited, and approved this and hang it around their necks for the rest of their professional lives.

Important Content. (Alas, this documentary is not real. But as a fanvid, it's incredible.)

Why does this sound so au courant? Like, just replace the names and you're good to go... youtube.com/shorts/afTIp...

This is one of the weaknesses of civility politics, it falls for the form. That humiliating content farming is debate-shaped, we have to treat it as legitimate! Fox News is news-shaped, we have to treat it as legitimate! The Free Press is newspaper-shaped. etc etc.

“A growing number of scientists believe that the SARS-CoV-2 virus may instead be subtly altering our immune systems.” Is Covid-19 to blame for “the global surge in non-covid infections”? [bmj.com]

ktla.com/news/local-n... so a bunch of masked guys were brutally taking down a woman in public, and this dude towed their illegally parked car. Maybe if they didn't wear masks and showed actual fucking badges, this wouldn't happen. There's a GFM: gofund.me/02bd9e702

“Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America.”

Finally, someone came as the Dust Wife! With a chicken on top of her staff and everything! It was so amazing!

I don't know enough about OKC to comment on his performance as mayor, but I thought this essay was a great counterpoint to the MAGA approach. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/o...

I had never heard of this incident and it's horrifying, and wildly not even the worst that could have happened.

The authoritarian shit is bad on its own, but let's not lose sight of the fact that this Texas law enforcement officer couldn't keep up with a 61-year-old out for her morning walk. Like the Nazis, these people are evil and pathetic at the same time. Don't miss any chance to mock them as losers.

Have we considered finding someone else's Dyson sphere and just running an extension cord?

And anyone who buys that load of BS, I have a lovely bridge for sale...

Another case of multiple doctors missing a fairly common diagnosis because "just lose weight" 🤬 wapo.st/4loyCIN

This is such a great look into the work that often gets glossed over in history. womenshistory.si.edu/blog/hazel-f...

I think what a lot of people really really don't understand is that at places with acceptance rates under ~10% there's ALWAYS going to be some luck involved. Swarthmore could fill its next class with ONLY HS class presidents w/4.0+ GPA & 99th pctile SAT & there would still be thousands rejected.

#Murderbot vid rec: a Sanctuary Moon vid by Murderbot, it's so so perfect

As you read CATO's report on how 65% of the people ICE has detained committed no crime, remember that @padilla.senate.gov was asking why Kristi Noem always invoked the same 6 cases when Noem's goons assaulted him. That's why. www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

There's a great interview with Sabrina Wu, who plays Pin-Lee in #murderbot, here: www.autostraddle.com/sabrina-wu-i...

Trying to write about the Noem/Padilla thing and having difficulty even figuring out how to start. Or what kind of headline to write beyond "WHAT THE FUCK, THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY, STOP THE MADNESS"

It feels like the Trump administration is trying to speed run the corruption and authoritarian takeover of Russia following the demise of the USSR: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...
