The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

When I saw Aldrich Ames's name today, I assumed he had come up with enough cash to get a pardon.

New, from me: The Trump administration isn’t just using social media to shape a narrative. They view the world through a social media lens in a way that is plausibly corrupting their judgment and undermining their performance.

Trump Spotted Wearing Paper Sign Reading ‘The President’

They've been affectionately named "Vlad" and "Donny"

And this is why we need the oil from Venezuela

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

is there some way I can quickly unlearn all of history so as to feel better about recent events

This is good. One small excerpt.

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

I know I’m probably just a foolish Luddite, but I am pretty sure we can do without plagiarism and misinformation machines that generate horrible sex crimes for the amusement of rape aficionados.

Having tilted at this windmill for decades, I nominate David for President of the World.

Whether it’s Barack Obama being the editor of Harvard Law Review or Donald Trump narrowly passing a cognitive test used to detect dementia, there’s plenty of serious intellectual accomplishments on both sides of the aisle.

Every time I hear him talking about "good genetics" I imagine this scene from The Simpsons

30 years ago today, December 31st 1995, the last ever Calvin & Hobbes comic strip was published. Even now, I still find it so poignant & moving.

Calvin and Hobbes was a national treasure. Things are never quite as scary when you've got a best friend.

My man looks like he writes Wreck-It-Ralph fan fiction

I think maybe the biggest thing about MAGA-world influencers & insiders that people on both sides don't fully grok is how much they all despise one another.

I’m working next to Colin (@colinmcroberts.bsky.social) at a coffee shop while he writes thank-you notes to donors to his congressional campaign. Seeing how many of you have donated to him makes my heart so full. THANK YOU so much, dear friends!!!

Murderous bigoted American confederates insist on being treated like the heroes in the American story, and they know that by and large our institutions and white centrists will oblige.

I was walking home from work in Chicago past the patio at Gibsons steakhouse. Everyone inside was staring at me so I looked over and I was standing right behind Michael Jordan.

For me, the holidays are about food, family, and random traditions. This is our family's Sour Cream Coffee cake. The recipe comes from a "cookbook" typed (on a typewriter!) by my mother in 1976 as a Christmas present for relatives. I still have an original copy.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. I love our family traditions, and it is my holiday wish that everyone feel the same joy, warmth, and love that I will today.

Organelles do NOT have a single uniform pH. And if you think they must, because “protons diffuse fast,” this paper is for you. A thread on why that assumption is wrong; and what we found instead. 🧵 1/n

It’s my sincere religious belief that conservative Christians should be fed to lions for the amusement of crowds in sports arenas, and if you think that that’s hateful, then you’re not respecting my free speech and may be instigating violence against me.

I wouldn't describe Jay as "man in the middle" unless I were making sort of human centipede analogy.

That's ... not even the correct acronym

There is always money for football. Whether it be the state government or university administrators. There is never money for schools, roads, unhoused people, or small businesses that need longer-term relief. I just can't put my finger on why that is....

Kansas legislators will meet Monday to take a final step toward luring the KC football team across the state line, floating bonds worth hundreds of millions so the team can build a domed stadium and an entertainment district. Via @kansasreflector.com: lawrenceks.news/3LbKeTg

Oh, and I probably shouldn’t exclude the (totally legitimate) language of meme from this thread…

It's best to understand that fascists see hypocrisy as a virtue. It's how they signal that the things they are doing to people were never meant to be equally applied. It's not an inconsistency. It's very consistent to the only true fascist value, which is domination.

we’ve come a long way from 20 labs! #celegans

Now this is why I continue to support social media, where else do you get content like this?

You know what I’ve never heard in my life is a person say “I had wonderful, caring parents who weren’t always perfect but tried very hard and loved me and I’ve decided to cut them off entirely.” And yet all of these parents seem very sure that’s what’s happening
