My ten cents is that newspapers should stop calling it a drug boat if there was never any evidence presented of it being a drug boat.

… and he SERVED ✨

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

New York! Give this boy a shelter break!

Otters are perfect creatures

*looks directly at camera*

This is fucking brilliant @bencollins.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHYb...

oh man i just bought some legos for a kid and it made my night so much better. highly recommend giving yourself this gift

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

The President of the United States is trying to throw Mark Kelly in prison and Mark Kelly's response is to confirm judges who have committed to putting him in prison

Someone has never read much about the Nuremberg trials

They think they look tough. They look like losers. Imagine wearing tactical gear and a facemask in the city famous for people walking the streets all but naked and drunk

I’m glad that all of America is learning one of the main lessons of Star Trek: The Next Generation - nothing good happens when an Admiral shows up

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"

Hard to overstate how damning it is they've spun their wheels trying to come up with their strongest possible argument and the best they can do, the rationalization for it Hegseth actually put in writing, is "we can kill shipwrecked survivors if they try to call for help."

I love that she landed between the trash can and the toilet, ah memories

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

The best way to navigate this is to BUILD AN ACCESSIBLE WORLD. This kills me, and in many/most situations isn't that hard, it shifts the burden of effort where it belongs (on institutions, away from people), and THERE IS NOT CHEATING. The world just works for more people.

Very similar to the trans-kids panic, where the prestige media narrative is that it's far too easy but you talk to any trans person, expert or parent and it's obvious that it's way too hard.

Step one: get over the internalized ableism to ask for accommodations. This will take years/a lifetime/I couldn't tell you, I'm still working on it

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

If you are in line to make your retirement announcement from the house please stay in line.

An article that wasn't focused on elite colleges might be capable of considering that disability accommodations are about a student getting a good education for themselves rather than framing things in terms of a hunger games competition for who gets to be elite in society

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

It's not shocking that an organization formed by an asshole and staffed by assholes to try and make more assholes has an asshole problem.

Nuzzi has the vibe of a kid who got put in a talented and gifted program in elementary school and went on to create her entire personality around that

I would rather have a world where we all trust each other and accept that a few people will take advantage of it than a world where folks have to perform disability constantly in order to get the help they need. Let kids have an extra 30 minutes on the test, jesus fucking christ

hegseth vows to do more murders

Bragging about serially murdering people

Except for that one time, which was definitely someone else's call.

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

I implore people to stop calling things war crimes because we are NOT AT WAR. Stop buying into this administration's attempts to launder what they are doing, which is *serially murdering people* Call them serial murders. Make it clear there are stone-cold morally vacuous murderous twits in charge

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.

“It is reductive to say that the central fantasy of contemporary conservatism is Punching The Teacher, but it is not really wrong.” defector.com/the-conserva...

FACT: openly expressing love and joy and compassion and affection are meaningful virtues in the fight against fascism.

I cannot stress enough how under international law these were not combatants and this was not an acceptable use of force whatsoever, it is not even close, but sure let's have the second strike discussion

Yeah, the abusive drunk who ordered the entire military high command to hear a lecture on grooming wouldn’t do something foolish.

working at the nyt

once again expressing my strong support for Kash Patel being allowed to fly private planes to his girlfriend's concerts and go to sporting events and generally do anything other than his actual job, really the best case scenario for a Trump Guy running the FBI

I wrote much of this several months ago, about Ezra Klein's response to the Kirk assassination, and then never ended up publishing it, but I think this UO "controversy" is a such a perfect example of how TPUSA et al actually advance conservative power that I decided to revive and rewrite it.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Oh shit waddup

Sometimes you just have to make a silly goose

The villain mention at the end is Kara Swisher Ok that's it you don't have to read it, there's nothing in there worth knowing

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to the fascists

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

the two types of antisemitism: being antisemitic, and stating basic facts about israel's military operations in gaza

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life
