This is quite literally the best thing you will see today.

They expect us to believe somebody slowly walked the entire length of the reflecting pool down the center in the water bent over with a box cutter destroying the liner along the exact path that Trump’s massively heavy armored convoy drove over the liner and nobody noticed?

Ossoff: "Citizens United was the most destructive court decision in modern history. It's unleashed a flood of secret money, corporate money, billionaire money. Trump's rise is a symptom of this deeper disease. Our task is not just to contain his wickedness, but to cure the rot that gave rise to it."

holy fuck Jon lmao

Trees. Trees. Trees. They matter. Plant them. Protect them.

Before (sweaty, shaking like a chihuahua): I'm Horny After (suave, smiling confidently): I'm Horny

Yes. You rarely get to change the world overnight. It's rarely a good idea, even if you did. You change it in degrees and bring people around to your way of thinking. Then you remind people all along who did it, and what more can be done. That's politics.

Don't buy into the moral panic pushing safety laws worldwide. This legislation does nothing to keep kids safe or hold platforms accountable. This is about monitoring internet activity. Do you trust the government or tech industry with data right now? Reject this bs. www.wired.com/story/kids-o...

I’m tired of people calling Black voters moderate. No, they are *risk averse*, and they’ve got 407 years of reasons for that. My guess is they, like lots of other Americans, now see the risks of inaction and of the status quo.

Extraordinary detail in the new book on Trump's second term administration

No, I don't want this music extended by AI. No, I don't want a stupid AI tab at the bottom of Google Docs while I'm trying to type. No, I don't want AI summarizing a picture, post, or comment section for me. No, I don't want AI dubbing over a video for me. Notice a pattern here? I don't want AI.

“If they are just cleared out like [Trump] is saying he is going to do, Springfield’s gone,” said Franky Pierre, from Jérémie in south-west Haiti, who came to the US on a boat with his family as far back as 1992. “There won’t be nobody here to come in.”

being 30+ is laying down to sleep at night and hearing your spine snap into 7 pieces and scattered across 7 marvelous jrpg dungeons with a different movement gimmick each

Can’t wait for the guys to see my new rock climbing outfit.

I speak from experience: this will not have the outcome they’re hoping for

The new racist double standard set up by Alito in the TPS ruling: if there’s any other motive in addition to the racism, the racism doesn’t count, but if the state wants to *prevent* discrimination against black people, that is racist and unconstitutional www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I think women's pessimism about the state of heterosexuality is pretty rational and not, like, some sort of failure of duty on their part.

Starting up stream, will start the marathon soon at 11am EST! (b'w')b www.twitch.tv/kirbymastah

friend at a big tech co just told me that her company's chatbot and their client's chatbot have been caught in a mutual support loop for several days that has generated nearly 20k emails

2. "Public defenders are proof universal right to counsel doesn't work!" Actually the OPPOSITE is true. Every pilot program for universal free right to counsel is tried reduces convictions, evictions, and foreclosures, BY A LOT. Domestic violence survivors get better outcomes in family cases too.

Yes. Please please please force kids to do something. After all, being forced to do something by an authority figure without the ability to question the utility of the act is the best way to get kids to love that thing forever.

One of the big blind spots of a lot of the White D politicians is that they have integrated "trust the expert" into their worldview, and they treat Cops as experts in crime, whereas they should be treated like the industry lobbyists (IE. with ton of skepticism)

Zeldawiki tries to have mainpics be from the latest game so Link is currently represented by the sleeping child from the dimly-lit Ocarina of Time remake trailer looking like he's Yamcha crashed onto the webpage

🎵 Is he strong? Listen, bud He's got radioactive blood So of course, he's not strong He's got leukemia Oh no There goes the Cancer-Man 🎵

‘The Amazing Digital Circus’ creator Gooseworx says she’d “probably not” make a Season 2, even if given the chance: “I’m tired.”

There is more truth in this cartoon than most of you know. The Supreme Court ruling is not only cruel and amoral, it is going to create chaos. To my dear Haitian friends in medicine, we are so sorry and will stand with you.

See, this tech always sounds amazing in headlines, but then when you get into the details like: - How much will this cost? - How close are we to mass-producing it? - Will the power go out every time a bird smacks into one of these things? Then sober reality comes crashing down around it.

why the fuck is the discourse about what we tell newcomers instead of demanding so many years worth of severance pay in our contracts that it makes layoffs prohibitively more expensive than just retaining the staff you wanna do right by the newbies make the conditions better! organize! strike!

we missed peak culture

Large chunks of the Mall are now effectively an armed encampment surrounded by tall fencing. In some areas, crowds are herded through security lines to get to features that used to be easily accessible in previous years.

Here come four months of centrists attacking the left with far greater existential fury than they ever aimed at Trump (because they prefer Trump and helped him win):

Hey Springfield, take it from the Twin Cities: start stockpiling whistles.

I cannot stress enough how much getting involved in organizing and activism in your community will help you feel better about the state of the world. The stress and helplessness don't disappear, but the work shows you that you *can* affect change and that others *do* care. It helps a lot!

Trump is basically telling the entire world that you can’t make agreements with him because he absolutely will not follow them. All current treaties with the US aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on anymore.

me: sailor mercury has like a crazy-high body-count! me: me: no, not like that, in the scary way

didn't wanna retype it

Do. Not. Use. Fucking. Sticker. Mule.

Culver's is a luxury item now? Do folks realize the working poor are especially reliant on fast food to survive? Regardless of price increases? they literally do not have the tine and energy to prep it all. What's next: shaming homeless people for not solely living off dry goods?

I'm guessing Trump does not know the difference between a passport and a visa.

It also doesn’t make any sense why the message of “welcome, but be good” would be on a U.S. passport. Are you welcoming the U.S. citizens who hold the passport… to America?

Seems like the war thats been won 43 times and ended 58 times is, in fact, not over

Ah look it's Friday late afternoon and the markets have closed.

Just to be 100% clear, when I say that you should not be talking to the police, I mean specifically that you should say, “I’m invoking my fifth amendment right to remain silent.”

If you had a lawyer, in the vast majority of cases, your lawyer would be like “fuck no, we aren’t talking to the police, you’re going to shut the fuck up.” You don’t need a lawyer to exercise your right to remain silent.

Great Chronicle headline! Important to give readers a sense of the real story, sidestepping intended propaganda message.
