Previously: In a world run by science, the government would respond to a Texas measles outbreak by increasing vaccination rates. But today, our government is controlled by dysfunctional, radical idealists like RFK, Jr.

Can't fuckin' believe I'm doing this but here goes: Twitter is a mind prison, a true jail of career advancement. I stopped posting on there and within months I became the CEO of The Onion and I'm not kidding. Went back on last year, felt worse, then left again.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

i sincerely thought this was the Onion

The worst figures on campus arguing that campuses had become overrun with wokeness were all best buddies with Epstein. Quelle surprise. www.salon.com/2026/02/19/j...

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I just realized I never posted this trailer. It's really good. Anyway the game is out now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yUK...

VERY excited about this occult deck builder.

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

I finally re-watched the "Trek" Black Mirror episode, Callister, which was better than I remember. And then I watched the sequel. So good!

RIP Catherine O'Hara! People are rightly remembering her big roles, but I will always love her for her work with Christopher Guest and his company of amazing actors.

while he's vile, don't let the regime hang this on one man-weasel. it's all of them, explicitly or implicitly. it's their way of thinking about wealth, worth, and person-hood. none of this, "don't worry, we got the one bad apple." this strain of rightwing hate rises up over and over. it's insidious.

I'm pissed off and alarmed at our (doomed, moronic) regime, and I am frozen-in at home, so I am trying to distract myself. 28 Years Later is great, but if it's taught me anything, it's that Rafe Fiennes would play an amazing Jean-Luc Picard in any kind of Next Generation reboot or flashback.

the sphinx doesn't mean to speak in riddles. she's very isolated, out there in the desert, and sadly her communication skills were never great even before they deteriorated. also low blood sugar makes it worse.

Minnesotans are showing the soul of the United States to the world.

aligned with oligarchy, our government is destroying science, healthcare, and education. doctors and medical organizations are breaking with this totalitarian nonsense. "no, actually, the polio vaccine is good..." now this, levels of vile propaganda we used to know from bleak dystopian fiction.

their commander or whatever accidentally increases my appreciation for sean penn's character work in One Battle After Another

💪❤️

RIP. Thanks for making one of my favorite films.

hi! i'm co-founding a new gaming website with my former polygon colleague @zoehhannah.com. it's called mothership.blog. i made it for someone like me... the kind of website i always wished we had in our space. watch the video to learn more :D

Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

this image is maybe the single greatest joke in TRADING PLACES. and also a pretty apt description of the trump/vance/national conservative vision of america

"Joe Uscinski, an associate professor of political science at the University of Miami who studies conspiracy theories and conspiratorial thinking, says Trump's coalition is now more about scepticism and antagonism towards institutions - and less about traditional Republican Party goals."

despite paying for dozens of services, i can barely watch tv now because tech has shit the bed so much. "why would you watch that show on your phone, you heathem you heretic?!" because i tried to get it going on the big screen for like 20 mins and rage quit.

Vince was always kind and supportive, especially at the times when I was really on the ropes. RIP. And condolences to everyone who loved him.

i love elden ring so much. on my xbox, there are like 20 full playthroughs - some meticulous, some speed runs. it's in my top 20 for life. and the dlc is full of wonder and beauty, bold decisions everywhere. BUT...

happy ofc that people loved dishonored, but even putting it aside, that year was crazy with riches just looking at this list, seeing xcom, ftl, fez, and journey...wow

The 'numbers' of our gilded age are intuitively disconcerting. CEOs driving companies into ruin getting tens of millions in exit money, men with many yachts, mega rich corps that pay no taxes. Yet somehow the one that broke my brain tonight is that the Pulitzer Prize is $15k? Not enough for a car?

jfc, hearing that a prominent maga actor 'teared up' over you-know-who's hateful comments on the late great rob reiner is infuriating.

This week's episode––our last interview of 2025––features @harvey1966.bsky.social, co-designer of Deus Ex and Dishonored, in a profoundly reflective mood, exploring a life spent at the bleeding edge of immersive sim design. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

I love the BAFTA curation and impact. The awards show is the most "British people getting sauced" in the industry. But it still SHOCKS me that you can't pay to get the trophy after the fact. Having won BAFTA twice (Deus Ex, Dishonored), I have 0 on my desk because I was too poor to pay at the time.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

this is getting very Universal Paperclip

Harrowing and all too true.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

What other response to this dark timeline but a really talented (downtempo? death core?) band riffing on Charlotte Sometimes. #Traitrs

i had no idea 🤍

Driving across Texas, I see multiple signs with evil or ignorant meaning: 2 Confederate flags, several Trump 2028, and 1 "Extremely Deplorable." I finally reach Austin and see ABOLISH ICE in a yard, and TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS on a fence. Home.

sometimes i feel like i need to just send a blast text to all my friends like "do i have plans with you, i dont remember"

i love EVs and being able to charge at home (made even better with rooftop solar panels). better for my life in almost all ways. love my Kia. EVs have fewer problems in general, tho trips are dicey. a win overall. BUT...the thing about car washes sometimes wiping out your 12v battery is REAL.

Just a heads up, if you’re getting regularly smiled at by babies and greeted warmly by dogs you are carrying a fragment of the sacred light within you and must guard it closely
