2024 recap: Me: "you know this person is insane, right?" Them: "come on, he's not really going to [insert maniacally insane thing he has absolutely promised repeatedly that he will do], he's just an entertainer and he knows business"

Unhinged

This is explicitly genocidal

60 minutes is the new Whiskey Friday.

Eleanor Roosevelt’s gun permit (which she got it around the time the klan put a $25k bounty on her head). What a vibe

60 minutes is nuts right now. A beautiful segment on New Orleans Indians followed by Franklin Graham yammering on about America and faith. Always some Trumpist voice gets the last word

We wanted to know how everyday Judean people felt about the crucifixion of Jesus. So we talked to three Roman soldiers at a taberna in Gadara.

This is exactly how it feels.

I’m going to spare this person a dog pile but it needs to be said. These are not genuine statements. They are made in bad faith. Don’t engage them. If you do, encourage them to stay out of politics. They don’t want to belong to a political community and no one should try getting them to want to.

Swalwell has some taste issues

So… who’s the washed‑up loser lawyer now.

I just don’t think you need to love war crimes to be a real man.

The death of a nearly blind refugee from Myanmar who was found on a Buffalo street in February — five days after Border Patrol agents left him at a doughnut shop — has been ruled a homicide, authorities said Wednesday. https://to.pbs.org/3NZGHsz

I feel like this is illegal. Congress creates and shutters federal agencies, not the president.

it's come to this ... on its 250th anniversary, America is now begging the Royal Navy to help out.

A new study in Nature Microbiology reveals that an eye condition called POH-VAU (persistent ocular hypertensive viral anterior uveitis) is caused by covert mortality nodavirus (CMNV) - a virus that's been devastating shrimp farms for over a decade. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This statement effectively ends NATO. It's the ultimate prize for Putin. It would've been beyond his wildest dreams just a few years ago. It just became a lot more dangerous & frightening to live in a European democracy bordering Russia. Trump is truly the greatest traitor to the West in history.

i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people

All day, every day in Central Florida

We're watching the LeBron of politics of his generation.

I'm sorry but people should be going to prison for this shit. It's criminal negligence at best.

WSJ: He Had a Full Ride at Duke—Until America Cut Him Off By Caroline Kimeu. Photography by Badru Katumba. Student visas for Africa’s best and brightest were canceled by the Trump administration, leaving empty seats and broken dreams. Gift link!

Such a great new podcast by @thgoetz.bsky.social, each one a well crafted and weirdly entertaining historical narrative about a prescription drug. Start with the episode on Xanax, this is just as addictive

Not at all disturbing

“.. He fought back tears as he explained what was there before: two wooden shelters, an outpost to make cheese, sheds for his equipment. The horse paddock was spared, but the chicken coop was gone.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/w...

Congratulations on your new elected Democratic Representative!!! That kinda thing is gonna be happening a lot this year

Much of reactionary politics today is best understood as a Confederate restoration project.

NEW: Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

A 13-year-old girl tried to take her life by cutting her wrists with a plastic knife from the cafeteria after guards took away drawing materials, and was put into isolation without seeing a doctor. The teen was deported to Colombia after nearly two months in confinement

Exactly as critics charge, Trump views ICE as his own private secret police force, there to do whatever he likes, and always shielded with impunity.

the thing about the Olde Twitter culture whereby leftism equals being a belligerent dickhead, and the bigger a belligerent dickhead you are the more radical your leftism, is that invariably you get guys who just like saying slurs and reverse engineer "left" excuses for doing it

He was arrested for jaywalking on a scooter

Perez-Jimenez is the thirteenth person to die in ICE custody this year, and the thirty-sixth person to die in detention since Donald Trump launched his sweeping immigration crackdown. trib.al/l8bjUAQ

The stereotype of a NASA employee is a pasty nerd and yet here comes this jolly gentleman with a soothing accent and a top-tier model rocketry collection to teach us about meteoroids

For Florida's College Republicans, no right is more cherished than the right to greet one another using the Hitler-Gruß.

I'm at the Big If True stage on this (brain interventions are tricky to control, outcomes hard to disentangle, N is understandably low but c'mon, etc) but I'll cheer for anything that might give us another tool. by @jennieerinsmith.bsky.social

Damn this is good.

Six airmen died when their KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed in western Iraq earlier this week, according to the Pentagon. Their deaths bring the total US troop casualties in connection to the war in Iran to 13.

Voting matters folks

Ms Rachel has shifted from advocating for children killed by bombs that our taxes pay for, to advocating for children that our government is imprisoning without cause, which our taxes also pay for. This isn’t what a kid’s entertainer should feel the need to do, but since we’re here, more ppl should.

This is incredible.

The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.

I thought I’d never have to see this face again

Dems turn their sights to Pam Bondi after Noem firing www.axios.com/2026/03/05/p...

Good news that the execrable Kristi Noem has been fired, but Trump should really be firing Stephen Miller, the primary engineer of the vile ethnic reengineering agenda and murderously violent civic tensions that are sucking all of them into a bottomless political sinkhole, Trump included.
