@jordanmorris.bsky.social my kid asked me to pick up "something cool to read" on vacation and guess what happened to show up at the bookstore?

That's how USAID worked, you idiot. You're being schooled in replies but I want to give this a little bit wider attention. Stop parading your ignorance and uncompassion. Also, it's 800,000 by now. Unless something is done, it will reach millions.

Big props to Brad Lander on winning his primary. Dude has done the moral thing many times and put his body on the line against ICE. He even came to Minnesota during the ICE Occupation to see the injustice firsthand. It’s nice to see moral courage rewarded by voters.

Thank you Facebook Memories for teeing up this from 2020. Someone found the podcast that Chris D'Elia discovered you could screenshot Snapchats in real time and the faces are fucking wild.

Weyland-Yutani from Aliens is a surprisingly realistic portrayal of companies nowadays because you never get any real idea of how they actually make money but they certainly have a desire to do evil and sometimes Paul Reiser is there

Today is Octavia E. Butler's birthday. Her books are some of the most important I read as a young adult, and I continue to learn new things every time I reread them.

Mamdani: When I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region. And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept.

Jerry Seinfeld plays a male honeybee in the romantic comedy "Bee Movie". Male honeybees' genitals fatally explode out of their abdomens the first and only time they have sex. I find it increasingly funny to think about this happening to Seinfeld as the days go by.

Trump is angry because he doesn't have enough coins to dive into. Also they wouldn't let him do it. Donald Trump could never prove he's super wealthy and in control by diving 30 feet head first into a pile of coins.

Rough day, so have a poem about the Jar of Moles in the Grant Zoology Museum in London that everyone has regarded as too thoroughly batshit to publish

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

How it feels when you don’t have a Trillion dollars but your children tell you how much they love you every day

Stop texting my wife!

Pete Hegseth struggles to bench press one plate

It's very revealing of a number of things. 1) Are you the only real person who exists? 2) Can you be moderately inconvenienced for 15 seconds without losing your temper? 3) Does might always make right? If the answer is yes to any of those, whoops, you're a right winger!

MF looking like the Black Phone mask telling everyone how to "human" maxx

The story of Icarus provides us with a valuable lesson: never fuck up real bad

Norwegians shooting at a dog from a helicopter: <Don't go near that dog! It's been infested by an alien monster!> Me, who understands Norwegian perfectly, with my arms spread wide: "Who's a good boy! Come here good boy!"

Happy birthday #physicist Chien-shiung Wu (1912-1997), who came up with a truly beautiful experiment to test whether the weak force conserves parity (whether beta decay would be the same if reflected in the mirror)! 🧪🐡👩🏻‍🔬 #histsci In my print on the left I show Wu in her lab & a schematic diagram of

OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.

apple tv what’s next, grapes vcr?

A DISGRACE to the fields of public health and medicine. There is no hell hot enough for him.

“Stories about the ancient world should feature only white Anglo-Saxon casts” is the dumbest fucking grievance-politics horseshit on Earth and it appeals exclusively to a tiny rump of terminally online racist dimwits and yet I have to keep hearing about it all the time

BEN: Then the Emperor has already won. You were our only hope. LUKE: Yoda spoke of another. BEN: Oh yeah he must’ve meant Ahsoka Tano, a fully trained warrior badass who’s alive just offscreen. She’s got two lightsabers LUKE: That’s badass. BEN: You only have one and you lost it

The report shows a monumentally expensive and manpower-heavy operation to jail and otherwise persecute homeless people purely at the whim of rich assholes, who had their own private line to senior cops if they didn't get sufficient brutality from whoever was on the beat that day. Extremely good.

[Meanwhile at Unicorn Fuck Club] TERRY BROOKS: "Fellas, I just heard someone's writing a family epic involving a dragon!" GEORGE RR MARTIN: "Fantastic news! Now everyone will read that, and leave me alone to edit my 'Wild Cards' superhero stories!" MARTIN: "Superhero fans are famously sensible!"

In 1979, Mattel sold toy Battlestar Galactica fighter ships that fired a tiny spring-loaded "torpedo." One 4-year old choked on it, and the entire line of torpedo toys was recalled and never sold again.
