I encourage our nation's sociopathicly rich people to keep whining about how people are too mean to them. It's a great plan. If there's one thing normal people love, it's hearing people that have everything they could ever possibly want complain that the world isn't fair.

Everybody be quiet and look at this baby toucan.

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

When Elon Musk dies and they make a biopic of his dreadful life, they should cast a female black actor as Musk.

Grendel left last night and tore a big chunk of my heart out with him. He was so smart, so funny, so strange. He loved chicken and any kind of treats and hiding behind doors to pounce at cat toys and using the bathtub as a moat.

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

"The ICE agent's version of events would not have come under such scrutiny had the federal government not gotten greedy and charged Aljorna and Sosa-Celis with assaulting a federal officer who was performing their official duties. And that’s where things started to fall apart." — @snipy.bsky.social

Eternally grateful to Stephen, Evie, my fellow writers, and the rest of the wonderful @colbertlateshow.bsky.social family. It was such a privilege to work with these amazing, hilarious people for the last 11 years. ❤️

Kind of amazing that the latest series of Progressive ads where young homeowners are being SUCH DORKS for following unnecessary rules were all just social cover for some asshole at the ad agency who doesn't want to zipper merge.

How godawful are Republicans? There is ZERO reason not to turn on Trump, they all got filthy rich, stole our information, and made deals for the next century, they could ditch Trump and spend the rest of the year pretending to be normal, and folks would let them. And they STILL do not.

Merci, France!

Off to a great start!

Way to turn it into Teapot Molehill.

3-year-old Teslas fail inspections more than any other 3-year-old car in the Finnish market by multiples. Top 3 worst: 1. ⁠Tesla Model Ys saw 62.7 % failures. 2. ⁠Tesla Model 3s saw 58.7 % failures. 3. ⁠Dacia Dusters saw 23 % failures. Nearly all other car models had under 10% failure rates.

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

NOTICE: Do you have an elderly or disabled neighbor in NYC? Be a good neighbor and let them know about the free air conditioner program. If they earn $3473 or less a month, NYC will cover the costs of an A/C. Remember…last summer we had 95 degree weather. Look out for them

When you see clips of people celebrating in Hungary after corrupt Orban is gone, realize that Trump, Vance and Rubio did everything they could to keep those celebrations from happening so Putin’s puppet could remain in power.

“Parents have the right to choose what their children are exposed to or have access to.”

This dog was a three term mayor of Whoville.

There is no way to talk to a person at Verizon. This is the most appalling bullshit I have ever seen.

One reason Republicans are banning books and classes on race is because reading even one book about Jim Crow or Reconstruction makes it clear that they are hoping to reinstate segregation.

Unearthed reports reveal that RFK Jr. fired every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector ahead of the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

Conversations about the future of higher education in the US need to start from the unfortunate, basic fact that both Democrats and Republicans agree with Reagan that government should not subsidize curiosity driven learning and inquiry.

Urgent search underway for boy, 7, missing in Santa Monica

[suddenly looks up in the middle of a workday] Wait a minute. His last name was PUFINSTUF?

Time to bring back Sherrod Brown, the Columbo of the Senate.

Billionaires should be required to power their data centers by frantically pedaling on exercise bikes.

Mark Zuckerberg built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Now the water pressure is gone. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are routine.

"None of. the tools appeared suitable for clinical use, the team concluded." Yikes. news.vin.com/default.aspx...

I can confirm that every variant of "do not make up fake baseball stats. never hallucinate fake stats. only use real stats!" is ineffective and Gemini constantly invents fake baseball stats in its analysis. bsky.app/profile/dark...

I liked Hokum.

From the article: "Sea lions are thigmotactic, a scientific term for very social creatures who like to cuddle." Word of the day! I'm going to add it to my bio.

this seems like it’s just asking for problems

There it is. Any questions?

Hello, Bluesky cat lovers. I am looking for advice. HEADS UP: This is going to be a bummer and a half. If you can't handle that right now, I get it. Take my cat tax now and then keep scrolling.

I rolled like a six for dexterity, but watching The Repair Shop keeps convincing me that I should throw it all away and repair old timey watches for a living.

The word for this is "coup."

Again, today of all days is an important time to recognize that the Democratic Party's 2026/2028 platform must be institutional reform. <Every policy> everyone wants <follows> from that, not the other way around. There will be <one> chance to fix things. We can't waste it again.

"A huge number of American votes are totally misinformed about everything and were convinced to vote for Trump for totally absurd reasons" is an opportunity, not an intractable problem. Dems need to start aggressively playing the game of winning these voters that they've ignored for decades.

. . . oh.

If only there was some way that James Comey could have prevented the awful thing that is happening to him.

I love this and I wish more journalists were saying it loudly and repeatedly.

"There has never been a better time to get out from under being blackmailed." "People who become disinhibited as a part of their cognitive decline have an increasing tendency to just … blurt things out...do you want the most personal thing...barfed out randomly during an official statement...?"

TWO uplifting articles responding to the current Hellscape, I love it! And I *also* love articles written with the passion of Hudson's last stand in "Aliens:" "THERE THEY GO, OVER THERE, GET `EM!!" www.wonkette.com/p/congressio... (h/t and thanks to @alidavis.bsky.social, who wrote the piece.)
