Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

Yes, the completely marinated liquor store raccoon may be relatable, but I always found the Australian pastry possum from a few years ago more relatable to ME.

All I want for Christmas is universal basic income paid for by a wealth tax.

Knock doors in a red state and you'll have people tell you Senator Bloodfeast would never touch social security after you've shown them 5 votes to privatize it

the Grinch learned the error of his ways and returned the gifts Mark. what would slaughtering him in front of the girl have accomplished :(

why would Mark Wahlberg say this

I don’t know what the New York Times thought it would accomplish with this apple-polishing Q&A of Exec Editor Joe Kahn by Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust. I’ve used a gift link in case you want to read the whole thing. But this thread offers a few "highlights." 🧵 1/4

Sweden and northern Norway being black is chef's kiss

Anytime you encounter this in the wild, just reply "so?" The only reason anyone would care if white people "went extinct" (and, Christ, get a grip) would be if they thought white people were inherently superior for some reason. Make them say that with their whole chest.

today's been amazing for checking bios of people dropping the most hateful, dog shit posts I've ever seen & finding descriptions like "deep thinker" or "compassionate realist" or "enlightened soul" feel like there should be some kind of licensing board to enforcing standards here?

not today, satan

NOT A ASS OUT PASS OUT PHOTO They didn't have to do my guy like that

hey friends i mean folks i mean folk friends i mean friend folks

STOP THE COUNT!!!

The death of Flash basically killing an entire segment of independent and free game development overnight is one of those things that never really gets spoken about, which is a real shame because a lot of that first generation of Newgrounds talent did break into the animation and games industries.

I am far more critical of Trump's foreign policy than...Blinken, McGurk, Hochstein, Sullivan, Clinton, Biden himself...

Excuse me, what? Your "cloud of consciousness"?

ha yeah

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine. She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

interesting to see her leaning on the argument that pro-palestinian voices are unfamiliar with the relevant history, as if any amount of historical context could justify what's happening in palestine

“Every billionaire is a policy failure” is a far far better slogan

‘Can you imagine a single sign at a “No Kings” rally with “Strong Floor, No Ceiling” on it?’ That’s right. That’s the correct way to think about it. We have seen thousands of signs at rallies. None have said this. Because this slogan has no purchase with voters.

Congresswoman Omar calls Trump's comments about her 'creepy' after the US president launches into an anti-Somali tirade.

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???

smh i did my own research and this is @bsky.app's real word cloud

Rich Lowry is a bigoted piece of shit whose existence makes America a worse place. He's vapid patrician gentility used to mask gutter racism. He's a Brooks Brothers pocket square used to wipe Nick Fuentes' ass.

I can’t wait to hear @notalawyer.bsky.social forced to read the most insane passages on the pod.

I cannot believe I am going to force myself to read this thing slate.com/culture/2025...

Was reminded of my very favorite tweet of all time today:

Raccoon gets drunk at a Virginia liquor store and passes out in bathroom

you don't have to love it but if someone with a new baby asks you wear a propeller beanie, you can just do it

Your periodic reminder that the entire "white genocide" moral panic is not and never was about white people being killed off en masse; it's about believing that one race's blood is pure and all others are a contaminant.

A friend with a new baby asked guests to mask in order to hold her baby. A relative refused to mask & broke down in tears about her "restrictions" As a reminder, babies <6 months have the 2nd highest hospitalization rate from Covid after adults 75+ & are too young to be vaxxed

In fairness Rubio has this effect on everyone.

I feel like the Olivia Nuzzi/Ryan Lizza saga is inevitably destined for a Gone Girl ending, with a third party dead and the two of them somehow back together

Sometimes that billionaire looks right into ya, right into your eyes. Y’know, the thing about a billionaire, they've got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then – aww...

Oh my god.

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

Honestly, he is *this* close to blurting out the "n" word. I expect it any day.

Don't blame the turner diaries troglodytes literally dismantling the Department of Education, blame the 11 year old with ADHD who needs an extra 30 minutes for the test.

Trump is surprised by the words in his teleprompter: "Today is Giving Tuesday -- I don't know if anyone has heard that one before -- but it is indeed Giving Tuesday."

Brief recap: On Friday, the WaPo reported that SecDef Hegseth personally ordered the execution of helpless survivors of a military attack, literally the definition of a war crime. Since then, no other outlet has been to able to replicate that reporting, even though they’d love to. (1/2)

if there’s one thing we know about the Nuzz it’s that she’s always got one of these guys lined up. we’re stuck in the past, learning about her fling with RFK, but the real hot story is who she’s into in 2025.

He's not unconscious, he's quiet quitting! by Ross Douthat

The Cheetah Cub Cam at the Smithsonian National Zoo is no longer live, but here is a highlight reel with the brand new chirping fuzzballs: @nuclearanthro.bsky.social

A fungus called Cladosporium sphaerospermum thrives at Chernobyl: “Some scientists think its dark pigment—melanin—may allow it to harness ionizing radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. This proposed mechanism is even referred to as radiosynthesis.”

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.

You were sitting in an air conditioned office at the Pentagon watching it on a video feed, dum-dum.
