"Mr President-"

What, is he fled?

This hit so fucking hard today.

People are worried about Trump not leaving office in 2029 but they should be more worried about the Supreme Court enabling perpetual Republican rule by overturning what remains of the Voting Rights Act and campaign finance laws. SCOTUS has those cases this term.

Infinite respect to Woke Hoth Guy, who freestyled a two-minute Federalist paper.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Please circulate!! This deserves to be a big story.

Everything is awful but the creativity behind some of these handmade posters gives me a glimmer of hope in humanity.

The conservative movement that sold America as the shining city on a hill backed the contras in Nicaragua. The shadow of the conservative vision has always been death to its outsiders, brought by death squads, slave patrols, and now ICE.

these people never had any intention of battling a tyrannical government, they wanted to be able to accuse minorities at the walmart of shoplifting and then execute them for it

“I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice. Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds.”

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

In the Pluribus world, do kids get to play?

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE UNIVERSE PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Christmas doggos!

Today I made a candy glass sugar cookie based on Ellsworth Kelly's 'Austin' chapel (2018) on the Blanton Museum grounds.

this is just devastating to Boulder and the world

We have our Christmas tree lights on a timer. We also have those Star Wars ornaments that talk to each other. So, at 6am every morning, C3-PO starts insulting R2-D2. As God intended.

What actor’s facial expression in a movie/TV show will stay with you for the rest of your life?

This is just to say I have [fed AI] the [poems] that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for [a new collection] Forgive me they were delicious and [turned the robot] so cold.

oh my god he was rooting for Cersei?!

One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trump’s illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling — a betrayal, really — is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

Everything so stupid but I have faith it can get stupider

apropos james watson’s death i had an idle thought today about how stupid race/iq stuff sounds. “buh if your skin is darker you are biologically less smart” is a thing only a dumbass can believe

Martin Scorsese and his daughter Francesca read Letterboxd reviews and guessed which Scorsese movie they were about.

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’

Janos Slynt has just endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

This magazine just fired all of their politics staffers

How can you not be romantic about baseball? [DEROGATORY] [COMPLIMENTARY]

is the problem that there is just too much blue happening

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit." Taxing the rich works!

Fuck yeah

“weird” how the government shutdown prevents federal employees from getting paid but does not prevent the White House from getting demolished to build a ballroom

In "the most rigorous test to date of how AI would perform in the real world," researchers found that workers using AI completed tasks 19% slower than when working without it -- but thought they were faster. #AI #GenerativeAI 🧪 www.theatlantic.com/economy/arch...
