x is populated by people who failed 11th-grade english, drove three startups into the ground, make mid-six-figures, and own two cybertrucks. bluesky is full of folks who hold two phds, have won prestigious awards in their field, can't quite consolidate their hold on fulltime work, and ride a bicycle

i’m glad the Supreme Court said what we’ve all been thinking: lawyers should be in charge of medicine

All day, every day. Transphobes are not welcome here.

this (onion) article is nearly 12 years old "At press time, representatives from the world’s leading economies had signaled that they would continue to heavily rely on fossil fuels until they had something more than an overwhelming scientific consensus to go on."

I think it says a lot about the competency and expertise of Fox News anchors that every time one of them gets promoted to a cabinet position, they are by a considerable margin the least competent individuals to ever hold those positions.

i swear this gov is a TV show. the head of intelligence got hacked and used his real name for a porn account. the head of dept of war accidentally texted war plans to a journalist. and now former head of homeland security grappling with husband's secret cross-dressing double life in anti-LGBTQ admin

Someone should really do something about the Supreme Court huh

The Wachowskis’ 2008 cult classic Speed Racer is coming to 4K Blu-ray and digital in May. Get the full story here: https://bit.ly/3NsNNpy

It takes SIXTEEN paragraphs for the New York Times to mention why the administration wanted to destroy nearly $10 million in contraception: It's because they claim the stockpile of IUDs, birth control pills, and hormonal implants are “abortifacient birth control.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/w...

The death penalty but it only applies to one ethnic group in the seperate courts you’ve set up to try them in www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/w...

My actual hot ABS take is that the strike zone is functionally “blurry” and that there should be an area ringing the line that defines the zone as being too close to overturn

An underrated addendum to the Bowling Alone story is that North America's largest bowling operator (Bowlero) is a publicly traded company whose business model involves buying mom and pop alleys, shutting down the leagues, and trying to attract casual, higher paying, one-off players.

No matter how much it's talked about, it's still not talked about enough that the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on whether the words in the 14th amendment mean what the words in the 14th amendment mean.

Donald Trump desperately trying to achieve a shipping route that has been open forever until he got it closed is just flawless Trump shit

Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.

Extremely satisfying and comprehensive pan of a guy I have disliked for a long time, here. Simply no feeling like it. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

An NBA player was quoted on a podcast as saying if your kid is good enough to be competitive then they’re too competitive to pay to play. It was a comment on the pyramid scam of youth travel leagues. Parents lit him up in the comments. I was reminded that no one likes to know they’re being scammed.

Glad to see this. Internet gambling is illegal in WA as of 2006. "In one Kalshi advertisement, one person texts another that they “found a way to bet on the NFL even though we live in Washington,” which seems to acknowledge that Kalshi knows that they are attempting to skirt state law."

A fintech credit card called Bilt is the subject of hundreds of complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. But investigators can’t follow up. If they do, the company can report them via a tip line to get them fired. buff.ly/twAqcnP

My "We don't allow bets on assassinations and murder" ad campaign has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the ad campaign

In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies: a) Ever; b) In the run-up to starting a war in the Middle East FT has the scoop: www.ft.com/content/744e... In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

I noticed the UK government's estimate of CO2 from future AI data centres was implausibly low. I asked for the methodology underpinning the analysis, but got nowhere. When I wrote an article about it they just... deleted the analysis. Now, @adamvaughan.bsky.social has covered this for the Times.

I genuinely think the president and many of his advisers, scammers, hustlers, and keyboard gangsters, don’t understand this concept at all and you can see it in the pattern of their mistakes from Minneapolis to Tehran www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

This iron age man buried in Sussex was so proud of his awesome helmet that he developed an archaeologically detectable neck injury from wearing it so often.

This guy is the one of the most vile sacks of shit in American politics, has no constituency, and is incredibly unpopular among those who know who he is. The fact that there have been like 27 friendly profiles of him in the last year is an utterly damning indictment of American media.

TikTok is a very underrated source of accidental Dudes Rock content.

@ms.now has posted the full segment with Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian woman who spent an entire year in an ICE prison. She was treated very badly and, at times, given very little edible food. (That's more than she says in the video. I read other sources.) 10 min. URL: www.youtube.com/watch?v=32p1...

It brings me great pleasure to inform you the word "blurb" is named after a made-up woman named Belinda Blurb whose job is to tell everyone how great a book is

SESAME STREET EXEC 1: kids love bright colours, so how about a bunch of humanoid puppets in red, green, blue, orange, yellow SESAME STREET EXEC 2: ooh what if the yellow one had a head like a banana? SESAME STREET EXEC 1: I love it, yes. banana head DIVERSITY HIRE GOTH: there should be a vampire

Now *this* is the correct response to a surge in the price of petrol and diesel – well done Victoria! Don't cut fuel duty. Cut demand!

Have been thinking a bit about how Trump may have accidentally spurred countries across the world to massively double down on home-grown renewable energy. Green domestic energy production can now be much more successfully reframed as "energy sovereignty" and a necessity given global geopolitics.

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao

thank god i found it again

I assure you that if 8 million right leaning protesters had turned out against Obama it the NYT would have given it banner treatment eg POPULIST REVOLT

"The idea that there are huge swaths of the United States populace who want and need the right wing’s unreality—their alternative reality—is a farce: a gaudy, festering artifice constructed and maintained by a million people who need it to be real for financial, political, and cultural purposes."

but seriously American's inability to get a Palestinian state will likely keep dragging America back into the region, no matter how much CENTCOM keeps promising more assets can solve this Mattis understood this

www.ft.com/content/4f09... Genuinely hard to overstate how much of a strategic defeat it would be for the United States if the war ends with effective Iranian control of the Strait.

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Two years and no closer to the reliable emotional validation I seek

NEW: Last October, Border Patrol agents gassed Chicagoans after agents caused a major car crash on the southeast side. I analyzed body cam videos that show agents Benito Nunez, Oscar Guillen, and Carlos Chavira ignored orders to end the pursuit—moments before they blew a tire and crashed.

Oh that boy has some smooth skills 🤣 watch his catcher’s mitt and the ball 🥎

The brilliant podcast historian Dan Carlin hasn’t made a new episode in a while. Recently he explained why. His answer resonated with me, and maybe it will you too. I’m nowhere close to a historian, but I do read history books, and I know that we are indeed living in momentous times.
