Dang they really got a category for everything

Watching us have a cultural reconning around photo evidence being worthless has been cute

I just saw a Cybertruck with a "Baby on Board" sticker and thought that was surprisingly self-aware of the driver.

Last time the Knicks won the championship the president resigned in disgrace shortly after. Here’s hoping history repeats itself.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

The new Tennessee State flag just dropped. X

I’d like to draw your attention to the back middle ground of this picture. Behind a row of 6 men taking up 1/2 of the picture plane (one of which is standing on a riser), you will see the Georgia women’s tennis team. They were being “honored” at the white house

Artist Elina Chauvet says her famous “Zapatos Rojos (Red Shoes)” installation was staged in Bucharest without her knowledge or name. How should credit be given when an art practice elevates an ordinary object into a globally understood symbol?

Stokes saw a sign he liked and wants to share it with you

I hear the Epstein Ballroom will be illuminated solely by gaslighting.

It looks like blue sky is dying because of management decisions... unless we can put on the best talent show that this town has ever seen

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

Why are dogs like this?

This, nested threads. Also: Seriously, everybody, read Lundy Bancroft’s Why Does He Do That? and Rachel Snyder’s No Visible Bruises because you need 101s in relationship abuse to get through the next few years. Fascism is just intimate partner terrorism & coercive control writ large.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Sometimes when I need a dopamine boost, I’ll watch young people listen to dope music for the 1st time. I love that this fella gets stoked abt a possible LL sighting and totally misses Tupac

Anyone who accepts a Kennedy Center Honor in 2025 would have been a 'Good German' in 1939.

Wed 7/30, 8pm ET: hear how DSA members are defending trans and migrant communities, standing with workers and against Trump's billionaire coup, and more — and what you can do to fight against fascism and for a world where we all have dignity and liberation! dsausa.us/trumprespons...

The most interesting fact about Hulk Hogan is that as a kid in France, Andre the Giant sometimes got driven to school by playwright Samuel Beckett

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Read @jackiefmogensen.bsky.social's whole dispatch from the whole march: The organizers call for reversing those measures—ending “censorship and political interference in science,” securing and expanding scientific funding, and defending diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in science.

Umberto Eco put together a now-famous list of 14 attributes of fascistic states. I'm going to discuss each of them in hopes this helps ppl understand that fascism is not just a buzzword. We're going to go through these by theme, so strap in. 🧵

"First, they came for the queers, but nobody knows that because we're not in the fucking poem" stuck with me and is rattling around my head this week a lot louder than normal.

"I'm bisexual in the way that I like every woman and like three men" okay, that's fine. I'm bisexual in the way that you don't ask the gender of the storm that pulls you out to sea
