Kyiv reels after Russia unleashes massive missile, drone attack on Ukraine, killing at least 22; Ukraine strikes Russia's Ilsky oil refinery for at least 16th time since start of full-scale war; Russia demands access to investigation into its own drone strike in Romania; and more.

If Big Brother doesn’t like your science topic you won’t be funded and if Big Brother doesn’t like your results you will be defunded. A recipe for backwardness that seems to be designed by people who want America to humiliate itself and collapse. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/summary-of...

1. Real Change PAC, a super PAC that purports to be "committed to progressive values," has spent millions of dollars in Democratic primaries. It is actually a Republican front closely tied to House Republican leadership. An email completely exposed the dirty tricks operation.

"Democrats will not get many more chances to show they can make the US system deliver for the majority. Overlooking the sometimes troubling but largely rational complaints of America’s Gen Z would assure their failure." My column. as.ft.com/r/95f8e3a2-e...

2 of 10 largest public companies by Market Cap will be trading at insane Price-to-Earnings due to absurd believe that their joint owner/CEO (running both companies w/ absolute control while spending time on drugs & leading international white supremacy movement) will perform miracles #CorrelatedRisk

If this is a real post, this is the most ominous, foreboding, ain’t-gonna-end-well-for-all-of-us post i’ve seen yet.

LOL The diagnosis is clear, motherfuckers!

Ukrainians sharing how they shelter with their animals from Russian attacks on Kyiv tonight 💔❤️‍🩹 watching animals suffer from war is heartbreaking. The faces of the cats in the 1st and 7th photo say everything Photos : 1,2 - miss.darisha /threads

Damn. They're having a spat.

Imagine how angry Americans would be if the media had adequately explained to them that Obama had secured a deal that was preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and Trump blew it the fuck up.

I'm in complete agreement with Mose. youtu.be/grk8Z_SLMlU

nest update

Hard to believe I’m even writing this. Meteorological summer hasn’t even begun, yet Paris, France has already logged more days above 32°C than its annual average.

This tub of guts is talking to a small closed set of MAGA incels. No normal people, not even adjusting for Texas, go for this shit.

Couldn't agree more ...

A two month long 🧵

The NY Times, based on Neutrality Island, uses metaphor to avoid harsh realities that might annoy the people attacking democracy. That’s why, when NYT should write a headline about the wholesale theft of Black political power in the South, it prefers to refer vaguely to “political earthquakes.” 1/4🧵

🧵 I decided to take a look at how the chemical weapon denialists were responding to the latest news out of Syria about chemical weapons, and this reply from Aaron Mate says a lot about the credibility of the denialists positions.

Judith Shklar and Simone Weil (the good Simone) are the two 20th Century philosophers I keep ranting about while I shake people by the lapels and they politely try to disengage. Wonderful to have this material and attention on her.

Today I ‘interviewed’ Facebook whistleblower on stage at Hay…& she couldn’t say a word. Facebook took legal action to prevent her speaking. What pathetic, pointless vindictiveness. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Love this! 🙌🏼 #resist #Pinks

The media is being used here. Every day. Leaks create the illusion of progress on these issues and of Trump's "toughness" as a negotiator. The evidence provided by outcomes and to Iranian, Israeli and other reactions to developments suggests gullible media is being used.

I mean, true?

NEW: Ukraine is attempting to strangle Russian logistics with a new drone campaign that might be the most significant development of the war this year. kyivindependent.com/analysis-how...

Good Lord, in two days the Russians have lost almost 1000 trucks and close to 3000 soldiers.

Free weekend update just released. People surprised that the Ukrainians are taking the initiative just were not listening. For many months the Ukrainians were open on what they wanted to do (I told you in January). Listen to them not the western press. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

The refinery of Saratov in Russia was severely struck. Several major fires are raging inside the facility.

Nobody got mad when Perry Farrell did this at Lollapalooza. Fake news

I see consensus has quickly formed on Bluesky that this is a big deal. I fear, alas, that actual voters do not give a single, solitary fuck. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/u...

Doesn't this fuckwit have a fucking job?

He’s gonna roll out his new beatboxing act and then you’ll all be sorry.

1/3 So a couple of weeks ago, I received a bill from the IRS. Penalty for not paying quarterly estimated tax. I'm fucking retired, and this has never happened to me before. Alright, I try to go online to pay it, and in order to do so I have to create a super special "ID.me" account.

A gas tax holiday talks about 18.4¢ while ignoring the $1.50 problem. That's politics, not policy. And half of it likely goes straight to oil company profits. Congress knows this. Some just hope you don't.

This is quite nice if you're a fan. Terrific audio and video from the Sydney Opera House people. youtu.be/AKI-YlBPmMQ
