Samuel L. Jackson seeing John Travolta's latest look

HERE IT IS: My best ✅ Grass level ☑️ Forward facing ✔️ Bumbling gosling foraging footage of the 2026 baby bird season. So far. LOOK AT THAT TONGUE GO!!! Unmute for EXTRA smiles! 🐣 🪶

I think that many people advocate for others to do things that they will never do themselves. It's ridiculous and a waste of everyone's time. You are not organizing your own workplace.

If your store is gonna send out your order in 7 different packages they've gotta chill with the "Today's The Day!" joyful SMS messages. I promise I'm not that excited for Costco TP

Upcoming event I'd love to see you at if you're near DC! A book talk on my friend's amazing book of poetry.

ICE could never have built such a large-scale deportation machine without the voluntary assistance of local law enforcement. In a new @inquest.bsky.social excerpt, Peter Mancina traces how jails became "force multipliers" and how the immigrant rights movement pushes back. Read on:

Finished Ann Leckie's Radiant Star today, and I truly just enjoy the winding clockwork mechanism of her storytelling. All these pieces coming together towards the conclusion that's satisfying to watch as it works through, set in a (distressingly) increasingly familiar fading empire.

Please speak out against this bill. Teachers and schools can be placed where kids can be themselves and can get support when home isn't safe. We send our kids explicitly so they can have more trusted adults in their lives. Respect kids. Protect trans kids.

Thank you @abc7.bsky.social for visiting SELAH and @kenjennings.bsky.social for signing this GIANT ONE MILLION DOLLAR CHECK

Multiple endings to the same war?

🎺🎺🎺 and I would add that the people who are silently cooperating will not either.

They get mad about us "overly criticizing" or "purity testing" candidates and then when one of those candidates gets into office they do the exact shit we warned everyone they were gonna do

An example of how the term LGBTQ gets used in establishment media to flatten and obscure. Frank was notoriously hostile to trans rights, and wasn't particularly keen on queer communities broadly outside a swath of gentry white cis gays. The main trail he blazed was for his own power.

Hey did you read my review of Zero Parades yet? Many are calling it the greatest thing I've ever written. Go read about my current pick for GOTY 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

I rely on romance books and gadget purchases to cope on hard days, meanwhile the president apparently self-soothes by committing new acts of war

Cutting the line for my monthly credits to *gift more credits to myself* on @libro.fm because I read too damn fast

"where the hell do you think that money will take you that’s a better place?"--my weekly affirmation from @channel6.bsky.social came exactly when I needed it to today, and as always, a fucking STEAL at $10/month.

Probably the same thing Schmidt said to the young women working at Google who he offered a seat on his jet.

A timely story from my colleagues at @bloomberg.com this morning (gift link, as always) www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Recognizing that I need to write but so repelled by doing so at this societal moment... it's like I'm afraid of whatever venom may spill out from the keyboard, or that naming everything going on solidifies it in truth somehow

Simply Not Believing This Guy Should Be A US Senator gets treated like an affront to democracy on here. Meanwhile the most obviously unelectable ‘leftist’ I’ve ever seen gets to be permanently shielded from critique by the white male privilege equivalent of the Mario Bros Super Star.

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

It is publication day for my book, White Power: Policing American Slavery. Here’s the unboxing, with a trip down memory lane. Thanks so much to those who helped make this a reality, esp. my amazing agent Dani Segelbaum, @dgershenowitz.bsky.social @uncpress.bsky.social @sonyabonczek.bsky.social

The Legend of Wemby

There's not a single other medical procedure that has less than a 1% regret rate. Heart surgery has a 20% regret rate.

Here’s the story: The majority agreed Children’s Colorado likely violated the plaintiffs’ rights due to gender identity, and the federal threat is speculative. The dissent argued the hospital’s actions were taken because of the feds, not protected status: www.coloradopolitics.com/2026/05/18/c...

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

In underfunded fields, people tend to do their own work. In overfunded fields, people pay others to do everything, including “their” research and writing. It’s not an accident that AI is an overfunded field that grew out of other overfunded fields.

Everyone is citing personalities, issues, popularity, networks, ect but I haven't seen anyone mention the biggest problem Ro has capturing the Bernie base: Ro Khanna likes politics. He genuinely enjoys his job as a politician and he loves to practice them. We notoriously hate them.

Never heard someone preach on the one and the three before.

I am not surprised in the least to see @slotkin.senate.gov on this list as the only Michigan Dem taking Palantir money

Coalition to Shut the Camps, No Detention Centers in Michigan, Indivisible Downriver United 734, and Detroit Will Breathe invite you to join them on Monday 5/18 at 9:30am outside the courthouse with signs and noisemakers in support of the Romulus and Michigan's lawsuit against the ICE warehouse.

Harden flops. Leaves a wet spot. Dean Wade slips on it seconds later. And the Pistons get a free layup. Karma. #NBA

I love Moira Quirk's narration but being confronted with an old childhood crush as binaural audio is mildly humiliating at times

I wish I remembered what the teacher our class sent home crying from DPS looked like but it spiritually felt like this

I dunno what Ausar did to the refs to make them this ornery, because that's at least the third bs call on him tonight

People gotta do what they gotta do and all these institutions are varying degrees of messed up. I just want my friends (and heck and myself) to go into these things with open eyes about how university governance actually works.

Not for nothing, when someone asked my advice on taking a job at a place that did an agreement with the feds, I highlighted that one of my biggest concerns is that that action showed a distinct lack of care from the board/pres for the faculty and students that made me wary of the campus climate.

Every time I get asked about trust in higher ed, I will now be obligated to bring this up. Wheen we talk about impunity from consequences, it includes things like this.
