my entire timeline on x is now just iranian embassies demonstrating a facility with the english language that puts everything i've ever read from the trump administration to shame

I’m sorry, if you’re a journalist and you’re still going to the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, fuck off.

i love "1776 Independentanic"

minneapolis is a beautiful place with beautiful people none of whom deserved this shit.

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

minneapolis is an insanely punk city. i would call it more punk than portland easily. also fuck even now their anger at what all has happened to them is evident on every surface and just... tangiblr in the air.

it also has this one

It’s literally idolatry, but Americans aren’t ready to have that conversation.

Pro Israel Dems don't even try and make an argument anymore they just look at you like this

[youth pastor voice] easter teaches us that it has to be so over before we're so back

The president is clearly threatening multiple nuclear strikes. I don't see why we're not discussing impeachment proceedings or, in lieu of that, military activity intended to prevent such an attack. I'm generally of the opinion that we believe people when they tell us, then act accordingly.

The Republic of China is like if the US Government was overthrown in a military coup and fled to Puerto Rico, before promptly prohibiting the Spanish language, and then forty years later was forced to democratise and now regularly elects Independence Party activists as presidents of "the US."

throwback to a few years ago when easter, passover, and ramadan all overlapped on margaret thatcher's death day

oh my god there's jesus detective vision

this is exactly what talking to me is like

Just learned about some goofy stuff they're doing in Lithuania www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya4v...

plenty of room to argue the precise combination of structural forces and weakness of character which resulted in whatever the fuck is about to happen but which will, i suspect, look a lot like the end of US hegemony in the history books

happy infrastructure week :/

oh so he's like GONE gone

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.

The 6 arrested yesterday, along with the 9 arrested Wednesday, brings the total to 15 arrested at the Idaho State Capitol building this week in Boise while resisting the extreme anti trans bathroom ban, Idaho HB 752. This law is the most extreme in the country but citizens are not going silently.

I regret to inform you that the evangelicals are reinventing nestorianism

I'm happy to do "Is Trump dead" discourse but not if it's started by a Krassenstein

gambling should be broadly legal but you should have to place all bets in person, it shouldn’t even be possible over the phone. if you want to bet on missile strikes, you should have to look another person in the face and say it out loud while a line of people behind you gets audibly angry at you

Iran Imposes New ‘Cash, Grass, Or Ass’ Fee For Strait Of Hormuz

That first page reminds me of the best comic I ever found on DeviantArt.

The banded sedimentary layers, reflecting Earth's changing environment since at least the Cretaceous, were tilted & exposed by the Andean orogeny ("mountain-making"). MODERN climate change is responsible for the vibrant color, too. Up until ~2010, this area was covered in ice. (📷: Gautam Jain)

it's also not free, it gets paid for with taxes.

hey what the fuck happened to utopia deferred

I think about this one way too much

We need symbols of what we could be, every symbol we can get, or this country is doomed. I can't think of a single other thing associated with the US government that inspires almost universal positive emotions except the fucking postal service truck. That's it, 2 things. The mail & the moon.

this recession has gone TOO FAR

good post

As an important thing to note. Artemis II got into space before Starship even got into orbit.

Astronauts watching from the moon when the nukes kick off next week

What a fucking shot holy shit

forgot the most important of the genre

SLS, NASA's Moon rocket 🌙🚀

hey what the fuck happened to utopia deferred

unfortunately for Trump the birthright citizenship question has hit this version of Neil Gorsuch

Zero percent the Gen Z Cambridge grads who work at The Economist aren't trying to reference this

knowing this administration this rocket wont even get off the ground
