The Pokémon Company criticized DHS’s use of its brand in a montage of immigration raids set to the theme song, ending with mock arrest cards. Their former legal chief cautioned the company against suing given many employees are on green cards. What a depressing world 49.7% of voters chose for us.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Oh shit oh fuck the xenomorphs have Adidas now

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Your daily opossum break:

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right. Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

So. Dumb And entirely predictable apnews.com/article/doge...

Ken CHESEBRO, an architect of Trump's bid to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election, has been suspended from practicing law in D.C. (he'd already been disbarred/suspended in several states) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There are a whole lot of women whose lives are about to be totally upended because genitally-obsessed bigots can't accept reality.

More innocent people are dead. The young white male shooter is dead. But still no conversation about the radicalization of young white men. Still no conversation about the need for gun safety legislation. Nope. That’d be politicizing the tragedy of course. No let’s just pretend this is all normal.

"It's gauche and uncivil to accurately describe me" is a core view of today's fascists

An absolutely insane story about false confession: man reports his dad missing, police pressure him to confess to his dad's murder (lying about finding his dad's body, threatening his dog, etc), man confesses and tries to kill himself, dad comes home perfectly fine. abc11.com/post/city-fo...

Lindsey Burke, author of the Project 2025 plan to overhaul the American education system, is pushing Mississippi leaders to adopt the Trump administration’s education plans to use public funds to support “school choice” initiatives like vouchers for attending private schools. buff.ly/JiJ4XJP

I haven't had time to read up on the latest shooting, but I'm going to post my incredibly radical position that a shooting is bad no matter who did it and no matter who was shot. Stop trying to crack the code of a shooter's motives and focus on the one thing they all have in common -- the guns.

This is Radley. He's being accused of stealing a bag of bagels. That's ridiculous. He was just keeping this one warm for you. 13/10 please show some appreciation (TT: carrie.pietz)

Super convenient how the devil is always against what they want to do 🤔

Spurious Correlations has it covered. www.tylervigen.com/spurious-cor...

fbi used to do this for psychological effect. there’s a protest song about it that goes: “behind every mailbox there’s a seedy, tweedy man.”

Remember how MAGA swore Milei was turning Argentina around and his radical cuts were the blueprint we needed to use here? Well, now Argentina’s stock market is the worst on the planet and we’re giving them a $20 billion dollar bailout. Fun times.

Hi. It’s me. I’m procrastinating.

i do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

CARTOON OF THE DAY (Updated Version)

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Fall (aka second summer) is so beautiful in LA! 🥰

Goood morning gorgeous!

👏👏👏

Welp, crying. "Mesa senior's kindness leads to dream concert experience with Nine Inch Nails" @nin.com www.abc15.com/news/region-...

to me, the “column” is less a form than an opportunity (and a challenge). you’re telling me i have as much space as i’d like to make an argument about anything i’d like to an audience inclined to pay close attention? well let’s see if they’ll read 2000 words on democratic legitimacy. (gift link)

Since having my little electric fiat I cannot believe how much noise and pollution we’ve accepted from gas vehicles It’s gross

Wonderful news. I hope this is able to help a lot of people (and isn't too expensive to obtain).

The Chaos Monster would never be as brave to do what Kimmel did tonight

I think people on the right don’t realize how smart someone has to be to be a truly good comedian They picked the wrong one

What is going on?

😔😔😔

The cost of coffee has jumped nearly 21% compared to a year ago. A big reason is Trump’s 50% tariff on goods from Brazil—the world’s largest coffee producer and America’s main supplier. This is Trumpflation.

The Church Of Satan schools the State Superintendent of Oklahoma.

Super funny & very classy Kimmel is a good dude

One of the most interesting things about Jimmy Kimmel, and what I loved most about his conversation with Bill Burr a few months back, was that they’re both middle-aged white comedians who heard how culture has evolved, took notes, grew up, didn’t get defensive, and became *even more* successful.

Apple TV Plus has quietly pulled its new show about domestic extremism

If Starmer doesn’t get his shit together his legacy is going to be giving power to UKIP

CNN has identified at least 100 U.S. citizen children who have been separated from their parents after ICE deported them - including newborns. As a parent I cannot imagine the horror of being separated from my child, but that trauma is even more acute for the innocent children left behind.

The Mississippi Museum of Art now owns the only two known portraits of enslaved Mississippians that were painted before the Civil War. "Portrait of Frederick" joins "Portrait of Delia," both hanging in the same museum together for the first time in history.

GOP: We protect kids! So—ban child labor? GOP: No Ban child marriages? GOP: No Ban children from carrying guns? GOP: No Ban gun sales w/o background checks? GOP: No Then how exactly do protect kids?🤔 GOP: We ban books, discussions on racism, drag, free school lunch, & Tylenol.
