One of the things that i have to give it to Trump is that it is so fucking easy to oppose everything he says, stands for, and believes in. There has not been one moral close call with anything he does. I have never had to say "well does he have a point." No. Everything he does has been awful

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

MEXICO IS SENDING MURDERERS HERE ON PARTY BALLOONS.

NEW: In addition to corresponding with Jeffery Epstein during the interview process to become Baylor president, DOJ emails reveal that Ken Starr hosted Epstein and his girlfriend Karyna Shuliak in Waco, on Baylor's campus in 2012 during Starr's presidency. www.chron.com/culture/arti...

there should be some kind of coupon or code word that's good for like 3 free cans of soup that you only find out about at the end of the nightly news

For the record, I believe we should still be hostile to drivers of Stellantis SUVs with blacked out windows strictly because it's a reprehensible product purchase

“my ‘we’re not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process’ shirt is raising a lot of questions that are answered by the shirt”

Ominous bird valentines.

There was an article in The Atlantic early in Biden’s admin about how political journalists were now incredibly bored covering him and one guy interviewed said that he missed covering Trump because he felt as if everyday he was a hero storming Omaha beach. That quote will stick with me until I die.

What an affront to humanity that a gang of thugs and thieves has taken control of America!

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note: Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

Happy " International Space Station Is As Big As A Football Field Day" for those who observe and celebrate.

I don’t think we should allow the secret police to round people up and sort them by race

what if it happens and we kissed in the street between the two trader joe’s

Google gave ICE this British STUDENT JOURNALIST's personal info bank account numbers while they were trying to detain him for attending a protest at a job fair at Cornell for just 5 minutes. Not a crime. He fled to Switzerland & EFF is representing him now. theintercept.com/2026/02/10/g...

Some personal news

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

Do you know your Hawai’i birds? HPPA’s Wendy says she photographed this Maui ‘alauahio in #haleakalanps in October 2024 on a free afternoon, after firefighters contained a wildfire 🔥 that threatened to cross the boundary into the park. #ThisIsWhereWeWork #HPPA #HALE #Alauahio #NativeWildlife🐦‍⬛

Man, I didn’t think there was a way for this story to get dumber but… “DoD loaned the high-energy laser weapon to DHS, who promptly shot down some mylar balloons with it without telling anyone, resulting in the FAA closing airspace and disrupting air travel nationwide” …sure did the trick

This is the funniest shit I've seen in years.

To celebrate this year’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science, here is gaidonnayite, named after Dr Gabrielle Donnay, nestled in with some natrolite. She has two minerals named after her!! Two of the very few minerals discovered in Canada named after a woman. #WomenInSTEM #IDWGS ⚒️🧪

Babe, wake up, new sarcastic but entirely worthwhile internet abbreviation just dropped

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

writing is funny because LLMs are trained on lofty rhetorical prose & the devices they lean on are becoming hack now in everyday writing. every graf is framed by antithesis ("Not X, but Y!!!"). like overusing big words, structure is outperforming how coherent writing is so it all sounds like shit.

sigh

Optional timeline cleanse: the vastness of it all.

In the face of fascism, “Fuck you. Make me.” continues to be the right move.

"rich asshole who stops a multi-billion dollar project and causes an international incident to protect his lucrative duty-free gasoline concession" is really the perfect exemplar of parasitic trumpism. think of how wealthy the american people would be if we shook off all these bloodsuckers.

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

All you have to do to buy a home is forego 30,000 rotisserie chickens, I am very smart

That's called eating. People actually have to do that every day, multiple times. Did you know that?

BREAKING: @carolleonnig.bsky.social reports a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. declined to indict Sens. Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin on charges of seditious conspiracy Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the proceedings.

I mean, if Musk announced his plan to begin ranching frogs since the average frog weighs 50% more than a cow, you'd think that someone at the FT might pause before putting "frogs, which on average weigh 50% more than cows" in a news story.

This would have been a good point for someone to have asked, is that really how things work? Or is vacuum in fact an excellent insulator? www.ft.com/content/a5cf...

A year ago, we were on the cusp of turning many cancers into chronic rather than terminal diseases through immunotherapy and mRNA vaccines. Today, we're working through the curative qualities of a magical horse paste instead.

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Both these options sound objectively amazing, why do racists keep assuming everyone's racist?

they pissed off the WeRateDogs guy enough from him to break character to directly tell them off, that's genuinely impressive levels of being an asshole

"Reminds me of childhood memories..." Redundant. You either have a memory, or you’re reminded of something. You’re not reminded of a memory. Heavy metal fans won’t stand for such writing, my friend.

This is a famously messy Norwegian biathlete who was banned in 2023 from the Biathlon World Cup because he accidentally fired his competition rifle in his hotel room (he was also teary and apologetic then)

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.

making a list of american institutions that are meeting this moment, and so far I've got burning man and paleontology down here... guess we're rebuilding society around the study of dinosaur bones and doing drugs in the desert

The morning so far

A lot of people made fun of Bush dancing with the West African Dance Company—and sure, it's funny—but this was good. Middle aged white guy unfamiliar with something culturally nonwhite recognizes it's a happy, fun celebration, and welcomes it, participating though awkward. That was much better.
