A thread-sermon worth reading on a Sunday morning. Especially at the end. "America went through the me-too movement and made a rapist president"

It's not even a morality or feminist thing. If a person is capable of using ANYBODY as an *object* to derive pleasure from, then how are they not going to look at their office as a vehicle to increase their pleasure? They are not suited to public service. It's mere pragmatism.

lots of people learning about Ken Paxton today. Highly recommend the archives of the Texas Tribune on same.

You prove that you got sentience and cognition out of mechanical pattern-matching software and then after that you're going to want to explain how, if you're correct, you haven't invented consciousness for the express purpose of enslaving it

They didn't die while serving in the military, but they died protecting our freedoms from those who would destroy them, nonetheless. Remembering these heroes on this Memorial Day.

Before people think this Trump surrender in Iran is a one off, remember: Trump negotiated the deal with the Taliban that lead to our shameful withdrawal.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

In 1872, the Chicago Evening Post published an absolutely brutal editorial mocking people who objected to sharing public spaces with Black people. Still some dated language but a remarkable piece. “Hire a carriage and you can sit all alone by your own sweet self for $2 an hour.”

Never in the field of human endeavour has so much been fucked up for so many by so few.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

@rincewind.run Re-reading Monstrous Regiment. Aaaaand DAMMIT TERRY. Wazzer prays to the duchess. For coffee. For a secret passage into the keep. Vimes is there doing things! At his rank! The whole dang theme of the whole dang book! DAMMIT TERRY!!!! That one had layers!

They call them "data centers" because “mass-surveillance centers” would be harder to sell.

Best cat eye roll ever

So the secret name for Millenials is Generation Y. Because we're the generation that knows Y. Y the climate is changing. Y the banks can't be unregulated. Y public health needs experts in charge. Y techbros can't be trusted. Y you don't get involved in wars in (west) Asia. Y

This is worth a read.

Ok, the Knights Templar lasted 200years. But things happen faster these days. Which means the crypto bros have how much longer?

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

Did you guys hear about Will Stancil leaking the Tinder ICE Honey Trap details just to take credit for the work done by women for months (ruining the entire operation by doing so)?

Know what @united24media.com Idea. Offer this to big game hunters. They bring their own plane and pilot. Forget hunting an elephant, go take down a drone or 5. Far more exciting, far more interesting trophy for your wall.

Understand your cat

Some people say we don’t build beautiful things anymore and, like, lol. Motherfuckers, we built this:

New poll shows James Talarico beating both Cornyn and Paxton

100 retweets and I'll draw a new Quest Sprout episode today

China scheduling it's assault on Taiwan for 1 December, weather permitting. Etc, etc.

I don't even LIKE Big Band style. But DAYUUUM

Oh I am ALL THE FUCKING WAY IN with this

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

This video of a Ukrainian Yak-52 crew taking down drones with a shotgun is incredible, but the music is deeply, and profoundly inappropriate. There was really only one option. So I've fixed it.

Trans buddies! Move to Montana and show MAGA what greatness actually looks like! Set a light in the window for each other! Your mission, quadruple that state's economy this year! Quintuple the quality of life for every single person in that state by this time next year! But have fun with it too!

Accountability BEGINS! You did the crime - now you're gonna do the time.

He's off to an EXCELLENT start!

CARDINAL CUPICH: “We’re dehumanizing victims of war by turning the suffering of people and the killing of children and our own soldiers into entertainment. It’s sickening.” No wonder Trump lashed out at the Pope today.

Additional tweak. For each week the US military is engaged in other-than-training ops, a 5% federal sales tax is imposed on purchases over $5 million. So larger businesses and the uber-wealthy carry the burden alongside the PFC and SGT whose families are on foid stamps and hiding from ICE.

Proposed addition to the tax code: Any year the US military expends weapons in other than training, each tax bracket increases by a percent equal to its level minus one. (So bottom bracket doesn't go up, top current one goes up by 6%) This will make citizens weigh military action carefully.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

I'm moonscrolling

Question for NASA. Why burn off all the returning lunar mission energy as heat in the atmosphere? Why not do a few loops through the magnetosphere with a trailing cable loop to turn momentum into electricity first? (A magnetic drag chute concept.) Reduce the risk associated with the heat shield?

Happy Appomattox Day! Today should be a national holiday.
