Pete Hegseth adds new weapon to American warfighter loadout: influenza defector.com/pete-hegseth...

It is actually fascinating to watch the Washington Post try out this combination of USA Today editorial content and a WSJ opinion page. It's "laundry tips!" plus "We must slash capital gains taxes." Unfortunately for Jeff Bezos, the number of living human readers seeking this combination is zero.

Israeli forces have been shooting journalists, engaging in documented sexual violence [https://bit.ly/4vIAIcT] not to mention destroying hospitals and schools... but hit a statue of Jesus and finally two are instantly jailed. Clear priorities. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

We don't "gotta give" them shit. It's not sportsmanship, they won't treat us like silver medalists. They ran a 50-year propaganda campaign at every level of society to put their bilge in textbooks, radio, TV, & the internet, to make sure the next Nixon would stay in power. We need Nuremberg trials.

So that you know … Black America has ALWYAYS known !!!

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

"What happens when the fight against antisemitism ends up obscuring racist violence? What if defending oneself against a physical attack is considered antisemitic simply because the attacker presents himself as explicitly “pro-Israel”?" thediasporist.de/one-night-at...

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business. WE Pay for

Humans are not part of shark diet and sharks do not hunt humans Most shark bites are cases of mistaken identity—where swimmers or surfers resemble seals or fish Yet Hollywood has never made one movie telling the true nature of sharks Spielberg made millions for portraying sharks as monsters

one day when my mom was well into her dementia she told me about skipping meals so my brother and i could eat that’s why hunger bothers me so much - my mom literally went hungry so we could eat, and right now as a society we won’t take our surplus and feed others

I’m reading On Tyranny this morning. The connection is clear. Aristotle and Plato weren’t predicting the future. They were describing what they’d already watched happen. Ancient philosophy came out of real situations people had to navigate. We’re witnessing it today. #Stoicism #StoicSisterhood

"Trump's spiritual advisor" is one of the phrases of all time. Right up there with "Genghis Khan's humanitarian coordinator" or "Marie Antoinette's economics counselor."

This is why people say ACAB and fuck the police. Don't wanna hear it? Then don't do shit like this.

Israel is desperately spending a fortune conflating anti war, anti genocide, anti Zionism, as antisemitism. This may have worked decades ago, but after 2.5 years of war crimes against humanity, and alarms from the UN, only a small percent of people fall for this. Also time’s up on AIPAC and Bibi.

Flock cameras have useful, modular electronic components in them, including: - Rechargeable lithium iion battery with solar panel - 5G LTE modem - 5MP 16mm camera with IR filter Plus various other components with precious metals that can be harvested for scrap.

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

Anything I say about this @noahshachtman.bsky.social and @robertsilverman.bsky.social story might get me put in a dossier, so I will say nothing and just strongly suggest you read it:

Vaaaaaaaaccccccciiiiiinnnnnnnes There are lots of people still alive who are vaccinated for smallpox, but ain't none of them "influencers"

I know Hegseth and other so-called "Christians" actually prefer the Old Testament, but if they paid attention to their own religion they'd realize the New Testament has some important verses, too.

"The tragedy is that Marx could offer distraught liberals a lot of wisdom about how we got into a Trumpian mess. He’d have been unsurprised at the emergence of a Bonapartist faux-populist who combined clownish bombast with sinister authoritarianism."

A Senate resolution against Trump's war with Iran could have a chilling effect on future presidents' ability to start pointless wars at the behest of foreign leaders without Congressional approval.

"The deaths of individuals during ICE operations and the EU’s new legal framework are shaping a world where human mobility is criminalized at levels never seen before." peoplesdispatch.org/2026/04/09/t...

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate. Taxing billionaires is not radical. What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

Cripes, I'm not even a science adjacent novelist and I still know that's not what neutrinos do (otherwise we wouldn't be able to detect them from Cherenkov radiation flashes in the deepest darkest depths of lakes and glaciers).

Analysis | Instead of squabbling with the Catholic Church, President Trump must focus on what they have in common, such as a legacy of protecting pedophiles.

When the specific orange man is gone, too many Dems and liberals will say "thank god our long national nightmare is over!" It is this thinking that kept the Confederacy alive in our society long after the Civil War ended.

I wrote about Dianna Russini, the constant pressure female reporters face to prove they aren't sleeping with sources (plus the pressure we do get from sources to get involved with them), and why all of this is so uncomfortable to talk about. Gift link:

A young Chinese man from Sichuan, China, went to "Skid Row" in Los Angeles to feed homeless Americans. And guess what American cops did?! They showed up and arrested him! For feeding the homeless!! Land of the free, looool. Chinese dude's Douyin account: [小唐在美国](www.douyin.com/user/MS4wLjA...)

If that person is able to keep that job then they're not a burnout, are they? Algorithms are observing correlations, but they're not making artistic judgments. I don't want to have to go back to using CDs, but this feels like something we need to reverse.

This Weeks Editorial Cartoon: The Noble Prize

Correct me if I'm wrong about this man's name, but isn't Peter Magyar beating Victor Orban approximately like Trump getting beaten by a candidate named Bill Yankee or John America?

They will drain us dry and then burn our dead bodies to fuel their data centers. Tax breaks to build them, billions in profits and little to no taxes all on the backs of the working class. It won't end until we end it!

i don’t want my appliances to be smart or connect to the internet. i want them to do one mechanical task for 100 years

TIL the United States of America erased (damnatio memoriae) Paul Robeson. Gee, y'know, that sounds a lot like Stalin airbrushing inconvenient Party members from history. www.thisamericanlife.org/bless-this-m...

AI boosterism has become a secular religion where "doubt" is treated as heresy. But being pro-tech means being a critic. You don’t help a pilot by ignoring the warning lights. Calling out the net-negative trajectory of GenAI is a safety check, not a rejection of progress. ⚠️

W/ utter deadweight tonnage of how much everything sucks today, it's wonderful to hear a whole ass baseball stadium in Robert Goddard's hometown, couple weeks after 100th anniversary of 1st liquid fuel rocket flight, cheer the Artemis splashdown. We suck rn, but we came in peace for all mankind.

You know who invented the carbon footprint calculator? The oil industry. Recycling? The plastic (oil) industry. To distract you, and shift the blame from them, to you.

"Being cucked by a Nazi puppy murderer" was not on my Dangers of Staying In The Closet bingo card

I thought I was past being appalled when people don't understand satire.

Also the bureaucracy and policing necessary to implement means testing is often more expensive than just letting rich people use it; and breeds resentment among struggling people in the middle. The latter of which seems to be the whole point.

I shouldn't be surprised that we're this fucking stupidly indiscriminate about simply racking up body counts, but attacking nominal and material allies seems like something even Hegseth's Pentagon would know better than to do. Apparently I'm an idiot. www.dropsitenews.com/p/iraq-us-wa...

The Mass. House just voted to ban social media use for kids under 14. I support that goal — but I voted No because the age verification provision would allow big tech to keep your government ID’s and biometric data indefinitely. We need to pass a Data Privacy law with data minimization principles.
