Everything you need to know about the US’ slow turn against the EU.

Frank Gehry’s fascination with modern pop art led to the creation of some of the most striking buildings ever constructed.

Wow, new high in @pewresearch.org data 44% of Dems/leaners are ANGRY at federal government Higher than both first Trump term and GOP anger during Biden; in fact, highest level for either side since '97 Likely goes some way in explaining recent turnout patterns www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Yup. The only way to understand them is they've been pickled in Fox News.

Now that Vanity Fair dropped Nuzzi can we have Teen Vogue back?

oh god, the Jan 6th pipe bomb guy was a Brony

“What have I done!” 🤡

If the 2026 elections swing by the same % as TN-7 did, democrats will end up with 248 seats in the House and 58 senators.

Gonna be hilarious if as @patterico.Bsky.social suggests Trump's corrupt 1/6 pardon protects the pipe bomber

Connie Chung calling out CBS execs by name who are ruining news/democracy due to greed. Turn this all the way UP.

This is a deliberate sabotage, intended to ruin understanding, to ruin *language* just like in WE and 1984 cf. also M. Gessen who understands this back to front popula.com/2020/04/28/w...

reading bad writing can be fun, until you get to a sentence like "the autonomous vehicle of his body looked soft and rubbery under his dark clothes"

At least they had the sense to not place the form behind a paywall. (I checked.)

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

today in related news, between your end and ours our sewer network is secure but definitely not encrypted. we can see all the content you share.

The last time we had a balanced budget was in the 1990s under a Democratic President. Republicans have no room to talk about wanting to “balance the budget” after they passed the Big Bad Betrayal — selling us out for a tax break for the rich.

The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored all previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge "Restoration of these grants is a massive win for libraries of all kinds in all states."

One of the most striking things about these ICE/BP raids is not that they’re all kitted out for war while going after people who didn’t do anything wrong and don’t pose a threat, but that they always bring a camera crew.

Democratic erosion but for public health. Day by day our system is being weakened and undermined. The consequences aren't immediately apparent yet but they will be measured in preventable deaths. The only question is how many.

Christ on a cracker — these seemingly hostile drones only missed Zelensky’s plane because he was unexpectedly early www.thejournal.ie/drones-dubli...

They need to release this video to the public

‼️ I said this about the current Supreme Court and some people looked at me crazy but I stand by it as I believe I said at the time they're doing antebellum shit well post-bellum

i think this is the first time i’ve seen the “even though they lost they actually won” headline construction used for democrats

that's a shame www.ft.com/content/18e3...

really upset about how trump it stigmatizing old men napping

I repeat that old men like this who worry about the sex lives of college students should be on a watchlist

We've got 2 great stories today in our series about drivers of the affordability crisis. First up by James Baratta: Electricity rates are set by public utility commissions. But that process has become captured, with corporate utilities pushing through rate hikes and extracting profits.

Now Cuellar, previously Blagojevich, PG Sittenfeld, and Kwame Kilpatrick -- looks like Democrats can get pardoned by Trump if they too were engaged in public corruption. game recognize game I guess? apnews.com/article/trum...

as always, remember how Nancy Pelosi rallied the entire democratic establishment to help this guy barely win his primary against pro-choice progressive Jessica Cisneros

they are doing it because they want to.

Commentary: The U.S. House took all of October off. As Congress sat idle, hardworking Ohioans faced rising health care costs, farmers battled dangerous market instability, and millions may lose necessary food assistance. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/12/02/r...

Yeah, one of the many nightmare scenarios facing us is that a badly led and mostly destroyed intelligence infrastructure fails to prevent a major terrorist attack and that attack is then used as justification to speed up the fascism.

SCOOP from me + @makenakelly.bsky.social: despite recent reports, DOGE isn’t dead—it’s actually everywhere. @wired.com www.wired.com/story/what-i...

Hegseth finally feels like a man. All it took was ordering someone else to do war crimes and then pretending he didn't.

A candidate for Giving Tuesday. There's a matching fund!

Abled people, who by definition don't regularly interact with healthcare as patients, are always shocked when told about nurses being *wildly* full of woo. Everyone else is like "yeah dude, half the time your nurse is gonna tell you it's demons and that you need more blue light or something"

Yeah, the American people likely should have been paying more attention to getting a Real ID since 2005 - AND this is still a lovely stinking albatross of consumer rage we can hang around MAGA’s neck, so I’m ALL in on blaming this squarely on Trump.

Wow. Mark Kelly’s Devastating Takedown of Trump.

Whenever I mention AI on here, I am encouraged to note the difference between AI in the form of large language models (LLMs), which everyone hates, and AI in the form of machine learning (ML), which everyone seems to feel is just fine. Question: is there a clear distinction or is it a spectrum?

Lots of studies showing a similar result: people who buy "plug-in hybrids" do not, as a rule, plug them in. They are mostly used & operated as gas cars. (My take is, EVs are improving so fast, PHEVs are gonna look like a silly kludge w/in 5 years or so, well within the lifetime of a car.)

I don’t really have a lot to say about the OU thing except 1) it’s obviously about the trans instructor and 2) red state publics are all so, so vulnerable to this

Thinking how many people underreacted to Prasad working in the administration because they assumed a UCSF professor must be good enough, but his intentions about the Covid vax have been clear.

They want to rehabilitate sex creeps and criminals because of some combination of the following: a) they've got something in their own past they don't want to have bring them down, b) they want the creep prerogatives that used to come with the gig, c) they're just plain sexist motherfuckers

Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom: We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing. Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war. They voted to confirm him anyway.

Just a reminder, this fuckin alcoholic dope is the guy sending the US military out to do “war-maker” stuff. Crimes, to be honest.

I'm an independent artist who designs space and astronomy inspired products ✨ I just launched my new Moon Bootprint hoodies! I also have socks, jewelry, and ornaments. sciencesocks.co/products/apo...

Some pushback. They’ll keep thinking they can do anything they want to do until lots of people tell them they can’t.

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.
