i love how even our wildest characterizations of them, in previous years, was completely accurate like "DEI is when the mere presence or mention of somebody than a straight white male" was played for laughs, a reductio ad absurdum, not THAT many years ago

once again asking Democrats to stop saying "this is not who we are" and instead say "this is what Republicans have made us"

Inside of you [New England] there are two wolves…

I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked

Finding hard to swallow some Irish people saying politics should be kept out of sport when the British Army massacred players and spectators in the largest sporting ground in the country... It was political when IRFU refused to boycott apartheid SA, it is political when FAI refuses to do so for 🇮🇱

Whatever could Thomas Massie be worried about? Oh, right.

got you (it’s longer but who cares you’re here to see caleb go apeshit)

He was so real for this

Newsom: Can't believe people still haven't twigged that I fucking suck yet, I wonder what I can do to... ohhh yes!

something something, everyone loves mashed potatoes

Very much love when Swedish outlets directly quote English (in English) second par www.svt.se/sport/curlin...

If you too find you have curling beef, try resting it at room temperature before adding it to a hot pan

That face of one of her staffers…

We back, we never left

Finally going through this in full and, WOOF www.nytimes.com/athletic/703...

This is so deranged. The Epstein associate who directed the Melania film AND the Mike Tyson ad is like “if you don’t do what my ad says and completely change your diet right now, then you will die.”

This is just unconscionable man

My favorite part of the lost blankie story is that they had to re-hire the pilot because there was no one else to fly them home

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

Anthropic head of AI safety quits, warning of "world in peril" & announces plan to study creative writing, as my college charges ahead in deal with Anthropic, which trained its tech on at least 25 books taken without permission from our Creative Writing faculty. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'm not a climate doomer, because that's what the powerful want. They want people to give up and say "it's too late." Even if it is too late, I'd still rather the world decarbonize if only to fuck up the fossil fuel companies. If you refuse to believe in a better future, at least believe in spite.

I think we can settle the Cardi B - Nicki Minaj beef once and for all

Alt text: a graph showing a massive spike in anti-trans articles per 30 days. The x axis starts in 2012, most of the spike is just in the last decade The spike really starts to kick in around 2017 or so, corresponding almost *perfectly* with powerful sexual predators feeling threatened by MeToo.

Really smart take here. A good amount of harm that generative AI is producing in modern society is coming from the fact that a ton of people (sometimes including police) have bought into fantasies about what the technology can actually do.

The Trump Admin is taking down signs at Nat'l Parks, the Northern Cheyenne Tribe is fighting back. Their Council passed a resolution opposing any changes to signage at the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument.

anyway I do expect a huge midterm for Dems and I do expect a Dem to win in 2028 and then I expect the GOP will win the 2030 midterms on the basis of “the last guy broke too much shit and you didn’t fix it in five minutes”

STP Guy has joined bluesky!

Man said, I'm worried someone not white is going to season my food and I am afraid

Best post I saw on the drug. Makes you do wild stuff apparently

Sadly, no club has ever faced a reckoning for continuing to field or defend a man accused of rape and there is nothing to indicate that will change now.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Just adding ever more cars to the roads

Yeah it is genuinely fucking scaring me the degree to which all our cultural output about nuclear war lately seems to present it as a Struggle That Humanity Will Emerge From Stronger. We honestly cannot allow that message to propagate in our fictions, because it *will* doom us. Nuclear War is not…

Heraskevych’s choice to forfeit the medal chance instead of give up the memorial helmet is the biggest story in Ukraine today. Everyone is heartbroken but there is a unanimous consensus that this was what had to happen rather than to give up.

Don't just read the quote, take the time to listen to Sarkar in full

I hate that this is my music. I looked at one venue and saw it was eight miles from the centre of town with no public transport and... I don't even know how

You have to admit, "don't be evil" to "we refuse to discuss our ICE contracts" is a hell of an arc

"Now, it seems that some Republican lawmakers are looking to take action against the performance for reasons that do not align with reality."

Watching this reminds you that we almost take for granted what a master Henson was. Like we think of him as an idea man. But watching him actually execute as a puppeteer and you realize the right man is synonymous with the art. Truly the absolute master of the form.

Go for it. I don't even care any more.
