one of the ideas I always really liked from evolutionary biology was the idea (from Ernst Mayr, I think?) that there's no particular reason to believe that human-style intelligence is a notably, let alone uniquely, useful adaptation

You Go Jasmine Crockett 👏🏻......

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick tells PabloReports that he is working to stop Trump’s $1.7 billion weaponization fund: PabloReports: What do you make of this $1.7 billion weaponization fund? Fitzpatrick: Bad news. We’re going to try to kill it. We’re considering a legislative option.

Can Democrats PLEASE stop doing this bullshit? It's very cute and clever. Good for you. But Republicans *do not want to provide healthcare to Americans under any circumstances* That has to be the message.

A competent, ai free, search engine would absolutely crush the market right now

Republican voters don't want conservatives anymore. They want cult members.

All it took for Republicans to go from anti-child rape to pro-child rape was realizing which side Trump was on

AI is the lynchpin of the whole political project. It’s the container for the parallel governance they have promised each other. I truly think that they are surprised that people don’t like it…and that they can’t yet wholesale punish everyone for not liking them.

Vote blue no matter who, lmao

Not happy to see more Nazis running as Democrats!

I wish I didn’t know as much about the end of Reconstruction as I do. If you understood what is being unleashed now, how it will touch every aspect of our civic life, and how difficult it will be to undo it, you wouldn’t be able to think about anything else.

There is no universe where this act “will be remembered fondly.” Even in the DT/TP world, he’s probably seen as a chump. Hope he is ridiculed everywhere he goes for the rest of his miserable life.

I was a bit off on the timing in my February 2025 predictions of what RFK Jr. would do if confirmed as HHS Secretary. He’s already accomplished all of these things.

one of my favorite facts about the US coal industry is that it employs less people than Broadway

Here's the real thing about the future of truth: The American left has been overwhelmed in the past several decades by self-proclaimed experts with no success or experience in media or technology who occupy space with callow and childish ideas. We have to stop living in a fantasy.

We actually just have to care about the least of us Or develop the systems that do it for us It’s why I like infrastructure ! I am not a good enough person to keep my emotions out of a lot of things Which is why I don’t want it to depend on me

During "infamous 'Peptide Fridays'... employees injected themselves with gray-market compounds during breakfast in the office"; but it was "scrapped for being too flip." If yr boss asks to you to inject unregulated substances into your body at work, you need a union. sfstandard.com/2026/05/17/h...

lol, there’s exactly one guy who’s worse at military strategy than Hegseth I’d bet money he’s our next secretary of War after Drinky Pete gets shitcanned

The man who bankrupted a casino has now also managed to produce the first football world cup nobody wants to attend, there has never been anyone else who ever possessed this level of ability at failing

He’s an asshole who also doesn’t understand how ballcaps work

I mean, it’ll be spent on defending Nazis in court

In 2016 I had a gofundme for Yoda to have surgery for a tumor in his neck. Lots of comics folks stepped up to help and I got another 10 years with my boy. Below I will name all the comics folks that helped in particular order. They all have my eternal gratitude and loyalty. #nightnurselove

Network television is the only thing keeping everyone from hating cops

DEVELOPING: Elected officials, candidates, and local party leaders have signed a complaint to the Colorado Democratic Party re: Gov. Polis' commutation of Tina Peters. They call it "conduct detrimental to the interests of the Party." They want Polis censured & temporarily shunned from party events.

Mark Cuban is a piece of shit and always has been

It’s legit funny to see folks asking if a site is working on that site

They’re doomed

Gross and sad

Remember when the Supreme Court said a president lacked the power to forgive $20,000 of student debt for Pell Grant recipients and the White House just said "Oh, okay"

How is this not the opening of a horror film?

New @seanphillips.bsky.social Criterion just dropped... 😍

The reason you build a slush fund for your cronies and your street militia is because you and your party are waging a revolution to remake society. That’s what this is. That’s what’s happening. www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-ne...

An insidious danger lurks within all of this... Why are so many data centers being built across the country? Ask yourself, what data are they collecting? 🤨

“99.2% of GPS patients who received gender-affirming medical care continue to identify as transgender into adulthood. Of the remaining 0.8%, most did not regret the medical treatment they received.” This is why transphobes are terrified of youth care, and why youth care should be legal everywhere.

This is the raving of a delusional man who is unfit and unable to discharge the duties of his office. Every member of his cabinet and Congress who choose to look the other way or deny the danger are complicit.

NEW: Tiny footprints. A blue blanket. The autopsy reports of babies who died after not receiving a vitamin K shot at birth included heartbreaking details about how small the babies were — and what items they had with them when they died.

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.

We've got @ariberman.bsky.social on Posting Through It this week, talking about the GOP's mad dash at partisan gerrymandering ahead of 2026 midterms. By stacking the deck in their favor, Republicans hope to hold on to their control against the will of voters. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/1...

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count
