If we’re being honest, this was inevitable. Surprised it took so long, really.

Pronouncing dandelion “dan-DEE-lee-un” so people think I’m talking about growing an exotic flower, not a common weed.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

You don't have to overturn Citizens United to beat it. Corporations only exist because states charter them, so a state can decide spending in elections isn't a power they wield. Not regulation, redefinition. Hawaii made it law. Montana's gathering signatures. More states are watching.

For generations, the American empire was the most powerful force on earth, and so we tended to assume that it was the most *durable* force on earth - surely anything so powerful *must* also be *eternal*? 1/

For anyone rooting for the USA to completely lose any remaining relevance in the world, I can’t think of a better way forward than blocking all international flights into New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Seattle.

Every day I am increasingly convinced that we need UBI immediately. While they are in office, lawmakers should be required to live - actually live, not pretend that it's a home - in the average housing in their district that their family can purchase on UBI.

Remember this the next time a Republican congressman from Oklahoma waves around a government report and says in his most affected redneck accent "they're using taxpayer money to study guinea pigs?"

Whoever took this picture is currently being investigated by the DOJ for any pretext they can use to throw them in jail.

I feel so very bad for the downtrodden people who will no longer be able to attend sporting events for free by virtue of selling some of their season tickets above face value. Cry me a river. www.thestar.com/politics/new...

Found a dead raccoon in the yard yesterday. It’s starting to stink, and it’s covered in maggots, but the kids and dog are playing with it, because it’s novel. Wish there was something I could do about it, but it’s here now, just have to learn to live with it I guess.

I'm thinking now of Mother's Day and all the women, generation after generation, who work those 100 hour jobs, care for their family and receive often, both pitiful remuneration and very little respect. One day a year of performative appreciation falls short of what women deserve and need.

Breaking: President Trump is expected to qualify for every event in the next Olympic Games, according to a White House statement obtained by The AP.

"So we noticed that most professors are NOT voting for the party that's defunding higher education, canceling grants for political grievances, banning books, attacking entire fields, placing professors on 'watch lists,' and pushing pseudoscience." "Well, clearly that is the fault of universities."

Census form arrived in the mail today, and must be completed by a week from now. Does the government know that people take vacations longer than that?

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

If anyone has a company that they’re willing to lose a billion dollars on, and needs an unqualified person to run it, hit me up.

We all know the Artemis II astronauts went further from earth than anyone before. I’m wondering now who has been furthest from the *sun*. #apogee

Upsetting news from the Grenevile Zo.

How much did the police make?

Looking forward to seeing this story profiled on the next season of @lastweektonight.com

It's so funny to me that right-wingers love to pretend to love the Middle Ages and the Crusades and all that and then complain that the Pope shouldn't get involved in politics.

While receiving a McDonald’s food delivery *from an Arkansas DoorDash worker flown in specifically for a staged photo op at* the Oval Office…

It has just occurred to me that somebody really should have cast Leslie Nielsen as a drag queen who introduced himself with “Call me Shirley”.

Alternate headline: Trump threatens further war crimes against Iran www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/l...

Annie Hall came out half of the entire history of the motion picture industry ago, and Seinfeld came out half of the entire history of the television industry ago

Imagine living to 500 and not having the works of Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Dickens, Chaplin, Brooks, Spielberg, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, and thousands of others to fill your time. Just walking around in the forest, eating whatever berries and squirrels you may come across, all day, every day.

A man just completely detached from reality, with no actual convictions beyond wanting people to think he’s very smart and very strong, taking actions and saying things that convince rational people otherwise.

Hot take: Al Green’s cover of The Talking Heads “Take Me to the River” is pretty good, and all the more impressive for having been released for years earlier.

Yes indeed. Trying my very best to imagine how horrifying it would be to have an adversary that hates you, armed with nuclear weapons. Good thing Iran has an adversary that hates them, armed with nuclear weapons, to stop that from happening. You know, to keep people from being terrified. Great work.

WBAL in Baltimore helping viewers understand the difference between watches and warnings

Slings & Arrows Twitch City Michael Tuesdays and Thursdays The Newsroom (the original one) Earth 2 Space: Above & Beyond Dark Skies Outcasts Tales of the Gold Monkey Home Movies Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law So many great ones that didn’t last.

Where to even start? Ms Moon’s Paksenarrion series made enough impact on me that I used a character’s name as my password for about 20 years. (Not any more, as it’s too short to be secure.) McCaffrey, LeGuin, L’Engle, Kurtz, Butler, Willis, Tepper, Cherryh, Atwood, Jemison…

I was going to make a South Park Underpants Gnomes joke about this, but realized immediately that there’s no mysterious middle step here. The way that profit happens from this, for Trump and others that he likes, is immediately obvious starting right in stage 2.

Checking forecast… Sat 15, Sun 11, Mon 14… Looks like spring is here! Tue 9, Wed 7… Hmm… Thu 0, Fri 1, Sat 1, Sun 1… Oh dear. Mon -3, Tue -5, Wed -4, Thu -3, Fri -3… No, no, no. This can’t be right. Where did my spring go?

ME: pack a bag, we’re flying to kansas MY WAYWARD SON: what kind of bag

you can have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or a dinner that features Donald Trump but you cannot have both

Good time to remember that Marc Andreessen claimed that he and the other tech broligarchs were forced to support Trump because of the Biden administration's arbitrary regulation and strong-arming of AI firms.

Hey desktop application developers! When your dark mode includes the border around the window, I can’t tell where your dark mode window ends and the one peeking out from underneath begins. Please make your window border a different colour. Thanks!

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot" HELL. YES.

if you hate or love "maxxing" please be advised that guys my age think it's funny as hell and will shortly be using it approx. 500 times a day. you will be cringemaxxing and despairmaxxing but no amount of cringe & no depth of despair will stop the guys my age from usemaxxing "maxxing." just fyi

We know for sure that Kristi Noem would shoot one of them, and I’m confident she’d do the same to the other, if she thought she had a better than even chance of getting away with it.

Hey @steampowered.com I'm trying to change my email address through the web site. I get as far as receiving the confirmation code, but when I enter it, it says there was a problem completing the captcha. Has happened three times in a row.

I am assuming that they will also not do a poll about the popularity of this particular move.

Child trafficker agrees to lie under oath about fellow child trafficker, if said fellow gives her a presidential pardon for the child trafficking they did together.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

if I can use this clogged toilet to make you a meal in 5 seconds, and you are going to use an entire kitchen and take all day on making a meal by hand, whose meal do you think people will want to eat, checkmate luddite

Setting a reminder for 2.5 years from now, to start looking for new Musk predictions that he’ll be building AI centres in space in just 3 years. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/technology/t...
