I agree, but do you see anybody waiting in the Democratic Party wings with even half the courage and political nous necessary to pull this off?

"Notably absent from these declassified documents is any proof that similar experiments were undertaken by enemies of the U.S." archive.ph/Dkj9H

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

has anybody seen or heard anything from the two pilots who were definitely rescued in a most heroic manner a couple of weeks back? seems a little odd for our jingoistic government not to make more of that since it was such a massive success and everything

It's easy to succumb to outrage fatigue. But this was four days ago. 2,000 killed. 1.2 million displaced. Entire villages demolished. A 40km 'buffer zone' (10% of Lebanon's territory) annexed. It's barely raised a resigned shrug, but it meets the criteria for war crime. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

never grabbed quite as many headlines as other cabinet members, but just as much of an absolute disaster

SEVEN Medieval-adjacent Choice of Games titles for a touch over $25? Including Mask of the Plague Doctor, by renowned author this guy <--- Surely this must be the deal of the (13th) century 💳💰 And you can buy them on sale individually too if you'd prefer.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

I'm hearing Hungary is in recovery after a successful Orban transplant

The not so secret genius of Siouxsie and the Banshees in the 80s — and the Cure for that matter — was the sense that they could try anything and fold it into their aesthetic. Art pop experimentation almost track for track at points. They never had to be simply one thing, least of all goth-as-such.

how did the flawless negotiation strategy of "give us everything we want (and some extras) in return for absolutely nothing" fail, this is unprecedented

We just declared drought for the fourth year in a row. And this year, it’s statewide.

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

I remember traveling back to the US, listening to an early episode (3 or 4, maybe?) in which James (obvs) had botched his recording, requiring the whole show to be re-done. Hearing the amount of grief he got for this, I thought "yep, I'm in with this show until it ends." ... it hasn't ended yet.

cool, but adoption of that 10-point plan would be a massive, unambiguous victory for Iran and an all-time humiliation for the US, so... does that seem likely with this admin?

Cherry blossoms at the state capitol campus in Olympia.

King Croesus is increasingly isolated

we rescued both pilots in very successful missions with only minor complete destruction of one or several of our aircraft in unfortunate laundry fires no, you may not see the pilots

Happy Birthday Toshiro Mifune! Your movies got me through lockdown and I drew you a LOT

this is Henry Cavill's 40k Amazon show and I refuse to believe otherwise

This feels weird. A lot of reporting is sounding very much like "how long will this take to get back to normal" when there's no sign in the short term that normality will return at all It's like 2020 Covid reporting

The cruelty that America has inflicted on Cuba is so staggering and the fact that it still endures is just baffling. Even theoretically the premise makes no sense unless you’re a deranged reactionary.

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

How do you run Fortnite AND own the game engine that ~30% of games use, and still find yourself in this situation? "Costs are up," sure, okay, but you make billions of dollars. What costs? Up by how much? I wish we had more information (not Jason's fault)

Some examples of the folliate heads found in St Edith's church, Eaton under Heywood, Shropshire. Aren't they wonderful? The Nave roof dates from the 15th century and the chancel roof about 1600. This is such a remarkable church! #Shropshire #Folklore #Churches #Folliateheads #Greenman #Folk

In honor of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure returning to our screens, I present...

there are many good songs and this is one of them

As someone who was laid off from Instagram during Meta's big layoffs, I would like to say that Mark Zuckerberg could have given each one of us $10 million as severance and still spent less than he did on the Metaverse, thank you and good night

what on earth

it's really capturing FIFA's new temporal distortion ball, great stuff

reader, it happened to me..

🚨 0451 Game Alert 🚨

Seems to me that if you're upset that there's not more of a student movement fighting fascism in 2026, the first place to direct your anger is the people who crushed the wave of student organizing that crested in the months immediately preceding the fascists' rise to power.

maybe Peru in the dressing room in 1978

nobody asked about the Strait during the planning stages, then? that thing that's always come up as A Bit of a Problem in the past three decades of musing and fantasising about this war? just... not really considered at all, huh

political malpractice? controlled opposition? hard to tell the difference really

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

I will change my clock, emotionally, spiritually

Once again urging people to read @mugrimm.bsky.social 's recap of post 9/11 insanity. bsky.app/profile/mugr...

not a fan of this (take your pick)

hell yeah, Green domination, not even close 🪴

Mamdani is operating at Thomas Cromwell levels of getting what you need from the king

I absolutely do not like the evil rubber faced billionaire owning all that stuff, but "buying CNN to control the masses" is a plot that might work in the 90s, not now

none of this happens without the actual files getting released, so good work everybody who managed that (yes, even the more unhinged members in congress, I do, in fact, gotta hand it to them)

it's an old fashioned word, 'papist', but many are saying it more and more
