CARTOON OF THE DAY #AbolishICE (From @dennisgoris.bsky.social )

😎🌵🪴 a long read, but worth the time

it's crazy when you see a photo for the first time and recognize it's gonna be used as a shorthand for the era you're living in right now by historians in 100 years

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Ad Rock: you can disagree with the current All: POPE MCA: but if you push his buttons then you’re a All: DOPE Mike D: ordain yourself a bishop and you’re All: SCHISMATIC Ad Rock: excommunication is All: AUTOMATIC

People made fun of Jessica Simpson for YEARS for stuff that was less dumb than this

GUIDE: Welcome to the Great American State Fair! TOURIST: Incredible! And which state are we in right now? GUIDE: (violently shaking their head) Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Watching episode of ER from 2001. Dr. Chen & Dr. Carter are trying to diagnose an unconscious preschooler. Carter: “Could be measles.” Chen: “Measles? Have you ever seen measles?” Carter: “No, have you?” Chen: “Of course not, nobody’s seen measles.” So far backwards in such a short time.

Steam used real human artists for the Summer Sale art, then credited them by name W Steam. #gaming #indiegames #gamedev

Friend: Mom, this can in our pantry is bad. Mom: It looks fine to me! Those expiration dates are guidance honey, but if you store it properly-- Friend: Mom, this expired before I was born. Mom: ...I hear what you're saying but-- Friend: Mom, do not give me another reason to put you in a home.

If Trump stuck two french fries in his nose and said he's going to tell Westeros to invade Narnia, Fox would devote 10 hours a day to the Narnian threat and the New York Times would run articles headlined "President Considers Expanding Conflict Zone; Critics Raise Questions"

And then President Trump is going to beat up Iran's dad in front of the whole school and then President Trump is going to take us all out for McDonalds and then President Trump is finally going to tell me that he loves me and then

I just—like, sure, being a trillionaire is cool I guess but what’s it all for if you haven’t even seen the wreckage of the titanic firsthand

They literally met in the Situation Room to come up with a defense for the President of the United States raping children.

With its recent rulings, the Roberts Court has now entirely perverted the purpose of the 15th Amendment, turning an outright ban on racial discrimination in voting into a right to discriminate against black voters. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

apparently there's a mod to remove gay marriage in skyrim like bro you're literally the only person who gets married at all in the game and if you need a mod to prevent yourself from getting gay married that says something about you

You need to read Mamdani’s “Mayor’s Order” repealing kids’ bedtime so they can watch the Knicks in the final. This is how to do politics with joy.

So many people who can reasonably be described as “that little shit” are in charge of so much of society.

He's been so impressive lately. In the last two major speeches he's quoted (and denigrated) Reagan and Thatcher. He's exactly right about where this all started, and exactly right on which kinds of thinking, long assumed true, need to be corrected if America has any chance of getting out of this.

Happy #Caturday

Gov Jared Polis told a Colorado Sun event that his decision to give clemency to Tina Peters "will be remembered fondly." He was later interrupted by protesters carrying an enormous banner reading EAT SHIT POLIS coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/j...

Very strange new trend is happening at my office. People putting names on food in the company fridge. Today, I had a tuna sandwich called Steve.

So much respect for this exceptional leader! Mamdani disputes Reagan claiming the 9 scariest words are “I’m from the government & I’m here to help,” saying: “9 more terrifying words are actually 'I worked all day, and can't feed my family.' Share everywhere! #uspoli substack.com/@rawstory/no...

Ah, yes, the famous Declaration of 1977 that... founded America.

Pete Buttigieg to CNN just now.. about Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's controversial road trip reality show "I love road trips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded road trip lasting about seven months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different"

Bill Cassidy on his first day back at the hospital

If the actor with British accent is evil then you’re watching Sci fi. If the actor with a British accent is good then it’s Fantasy. If the actor with a British accent knocks something over then it’s a Rom com.

Roslyn Carter once said Ronald Reagan, "makes people comfortable with their prejudices." Trump didn't create MAGA, he just brought it out from under its white sheet and put a red hat on it.

"If she has her own house, what will she need me for?" I don't know, dude, maybe be cool and fun to be around and be happy for her success instead being whiny little sad-ass troll about it? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I had some thoughts about the broader context of the modern SCOTUS, why it's out of control, and what we can try and do about it.

This is obvious fantasy-land in terms of timing, etc, but it is somewhat telling that JP Morgan/Chase believes neither the Iranian nor the American regimes regarding their various pronouncements.

sure gas is headed to $8/gallon but at least cornell got rid of their gender studies classes. or at least i think they did, i haven’t checked and if im being honest i wouldnt really know if they had or hadnt because it doesnt affect me but it makes $8/gallon gas all worth it

A little summary of some events. Version 1.

Doctors say that fluoride helps build strong teeth. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for “further study” says it causes autism. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Marjorie Taylor Green isn’t a known antisemite because she criticizes Israel, she’s a known antisemite because of all the talk about secret cabals, Jewish space lasers, Great Replacement theory, and Jews killing Jesus. Hope this helps some leftists who are mad at AOC for being right about her today

“We, the creators of the Torment Nexus, are now suing the writers of the classic science fiction novel ‘Don’t Create the Torment Nexus.’”

How it feels when you need to go buy food in 2026.

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

Not to victim blame but this balloon does feel like it's asking for trouble

Just a reminder that corporate media will happily launder any politician as long as they talk to them and play the game. You can carry out any war or genocide or kill literally millions of people and they'll slop up this bullshit for you if you give them a minute of useless, meaningless chit-chat.

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

Beauty from @buttpoems.bsky.social ⭐️

I personally love to read shit like "U.S. Pauses 'Project Freedom'" in headlines. Not all good jokes need to be complicated.

hey that's racist

It's always about the grift.

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow
