I’m not mad about Rodman getting more and more annoyed with Reyes. #BAONPDX

Talarico for President.

No, REI! You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness!

noooo not REI

looks like we traded generations of healthcare for 4 days worth of missiles

On today’s episode of Cartoonishly Overt Sign We’re the Baddies: they’re taking the olive branch off the dime because it presents peace

You should really be expecting that the next 20-30 years will look like 18th century great-power politics with 21st century climate changes.

Hey does anyone remember how we had like a decade of near zero interest rates? Thank god the USA spent that time investing in infrastructure! What a calamity if we had just squandered the last best chance of our lives

I just discovered psyllium husk as a gluten-free baking ingredient and my world is ROCKED.

Pains me to say it, but the world should definitely boycott the World Cup. Would be great if U.S. soccer players and institutions took the lead in calling for this. #BoycottWorldCup

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

This is like watching Trump bankrupt a casino in real time. Except this time we are the casino.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

The work of folks like @rude1.blacksky.team create a credible exit scenario for those of us using BlueSky today to pull up stakes and take our shitposting to a compatible platform if BSky chokes on its own rhetoric. The technical potential is right there in the protocol. Someone just has to do it

Trump's war against Iran is spiking oil prices—increasing gas prices at the pump. Trump's war is also disrupting fertilizer supply chains—risking higher grocery prices and more hunger worldwide. Trump promised to lower costs and end wars, but his Iran war is increasing costs.

I feel like the #ATmosphere has a marketing problem if folks like @lukesteuber.com aren’t aware of the activism that’s going into preventing “the death of the platform” from ever becoming “the death of my social network (again)”

We aren't playing the same game. Voting won't stop this regime

it feels like my country is an assembly line for producing crimes against humanity which no one will ever punish, or even bother to pretend caring about, and it's making me crazy

ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!

Happy women's day if you're a woman if you're not there's always next year

I’ve been waiting my whole life for a daytime visible supernova

The unceasing humiliation of being JD Vance

70s style stagflation, except dumber

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

Info on the new BLM plan to clear cut Oregon old growth forests so regime buddies can rake in cash without any consideration of ecosystems, watershed, salmon habitat, recreation, etc etc. Comment period open until March 23. You can write in! morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announ...

Leaving a public comment is easy and took me less than a minute. Link toward bottom of article. Super worth-it.

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

This is going to get very ugly.

WHAT. A. DAY in finance and geopolitics. "Stocks wobbled, bonds tumbled, the dollar snapped its losing streak, oil prices sprang higher and natural gas went whoosh. But investors are not bracing for disaster." We aint seen nothing yet ht @katie0martin.ft.com www.ft.com/content/d1f7...

I have a bunch of beliefs about the US/Israel war on Iran that are going to be either unpopular or unsurprising, depending on your point of view. 🧵 1.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

They’re called “war crimes”, motherfucker, and you will answer for them from a defendant’s stand at The Hague if you keep this shit up

There was a stunningly intricate visual diagram of… I don’t even know what… posted to the early Internet ca. 1996 by someone with a mental illness of the Time Cube variety which has lived rent-free in my head ever since and I know I will never see it again.

Thousands of targets, 10% inaccuracy, 20 seconds of human oversight per decision (is target male?). But even if any of these had been human decisions, targeting military in their homes because it’s easier? This is war crime automation.

That whole “the iPod is older than the Walkman was when the iPod came out” thing has wrecked me for like a week straight.
