yeah this guy is dumber than donkey shit

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

One of the most interesting things about Jimmy Kimmel, and what I loved most about his conversation with Bill Burr a few months back, was that they’re both middle-aged white comedians who heard how culture has evolved, took notes, grew up, didn’t get defensive, and became *even more* successful.

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

the sycophancy for trump aside, very hard to overstate the arrogance of this majority in dispensing with a precedent that has served this country and both of its political parties well for nearly a century.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

this is exactly right. it's the same stupid bet every republican has made since 2015.

the actual communication problem democrats have is this: their most prominent national figures filter everything through focus grouped lines and are incapable of plain speech

They say phones only make us miserable but I just got this news alert and laughed for a solid minute so who is to say

lol

The plan? We fire everyone who puts out bad economic numbers www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Oh cool, a new White Lady Invents an Expensive Blood Technology Thing That Sounds Too Good To Be True and Will Definitely Turn Out To Be a Scam just dropped

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

These motherfuckers are so wealthy that they have fully exited Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and have entered another pyramid for degenerate megalomaniacs.

I really hope the Cincinnati medical community shows up to support Ayman and protests the evil that is occurring in this country at the hands of a fascist government.

The NYT's Zohran Mamdani hit piece crosses a line for me as a journalist. here's @lopatto.bsky.social's clear-eyed take on the genuine travesty of it all www.theverge.com/culture/7000...

Chris Rufo used a reverse psychology trick that would barely work on a golden retriever to launder his racist story into the New York Times. And it worked. Again. I swear he's going to show up on the NYT staff directory as "Chief Wallet Inspector" any day now.

Holdout QAnon losers screaming, crying, throwing up right now.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

ok now this is funny

Will never be able to see Todd Starnes' name again without remembering this exchange

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

Yet Luigi launched a thousand hand-wringing op-eds from the chattering class. Makes you think

Musk is mad at his robot progeny again and has now taken to scolding it over something it wrote in response to Catturd. “Shame on you, @Grok”

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

there is something quite close to unanimity among serious scholars on this point, but the Washington Post omits that in favor of highlighting one such scholar's donations to Democratic candidates

Biggest disconnect in markets right now: the wide belief that high tariffs are a negotiating tactic and will eventually sharply fall vs the admin. relying on the CBO projected $2.8 trillion 10yr deficit reduction from current tariff rates wrt its domestic agenda www.cbo.gov/publication/...

"likely to draw an uproar from pro-vaccine groups" like the opponents are a tiny special interest group and not "literally all doctors and 95% of parents"

Ever wondered what elephants are saying when they rumble or trumpet? Thanks to ElephantVoices’ decades of research, we created Hello in Elephant — a tool that translates human messages into elephant sounds. Muwingu is offering up his voice for translation: t.co/sVMstIEREl #HelloInElephant

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)

Another Happy Day

This is Lola. She is one of the most skilled soccer dribblers we've ever seen, so it makes sense that she's already capturing footage for her documentary. 14/10

This post really made me realize how "woke" doesn't even just mean "anything non-cishet white," it literally means "anything that I perceive as being different from things I saw when I was 12 years old"

Alex Jones, who spent years ranting about shadowy government mass surveillance technology, is now stanning for Palantir

@jvl.bsky.social pointing out the obvious: YOU VOTED FOR THIS, MISSOURI. www.thebulwark.com/p/deporting-...

This dork was standing in the Oval Office discussing politics literally three days ago. He doesn't get to just opt out of talking about something he's still actively working on just because it might make him look bad on his image rehab tour. End the damn interview or you're nothing but his PR rep.

End the interview right there

The face of a "man" who is really mad that his wife won't be around to help his next brood emerge from their chrysalises.

The press continues to credulously report that Elon Musk is "leaving" the White House. The first rule of writing about Musk: His words are meaningless. There are 20 years of Musk's broken promises. Be skeptical, folks. www.salon.com/2025/05/30/e...
