I bought this shirt on the first run and it is truly so comfy, and when people polite-small-talk ask me about it I can spring my trap and talk to them about white-throated sparrows' four sexes or giant grouper protogyny. would recommend 10/10

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

Oh for *fuck's* actual sake

The Trump administration has removed MLK Day and Juneteenth as holidays that include free entrance to national parks, adding the president’s birthday instead

i fucking love my country of MPLS

Really love how this guy posted this on TikTok thinking the woman who broke his Meta glasses would come off as the villain, as opposed to him, the guy recording her without her consent for social media content via a surveillance device made by one of the worst companies on earth

Normalize the dismantling of intrusive, nonconsensual surveillance technologies

People who can’t tell the difference between entomology and etymology bug me in ways I can’t put into words. 🙃

This makes me furious and sad beyond words. I’ve been fortunate to witness naturalization ceremonies at Faneuil Hall and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and I’ll never forget them. Their oath, their pride in their new home, made me proud to be an American. Tonight I’ll cry different tears.

I think Zohran Mamdami could win a lot of points by single-handedly beating up all the bad guys in NYC like Mike Haggar in Final Fight.

You cannot make a logical argument with someone who insists on making an emotional one.

Wealth gives parents *time*, time to navigate deliberately labyrinthine bureaucracies, time to prepare for a confusion of paperwork and deadlines, etc. Simply having extra time available, makes it easier for a parent to get their kid accomodations.

he was tremendous, a real bad guy's bad guy. keenly understood the studio system that wanted to exploit his image, did what he loved anyway.

Blake Class's comment on what a person *should* do upon winning a huge lottery. Basically it all boils down to "normal people do not understand what it is like to have this much money, you will be fucked relentlessly if you attempt to learn the hard way" www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/...

An old money family will pay far, far, far less in taxes than someone who just came into that same amount of money. Simply because they have a whole guy economy of guys who know how to minimize taxes. They have tricks that you only really know if you've been wealthy for several generations.

It's cool how the only time you ever see billionaires pay taxes is when someone wins a billion dollars in a lottery. A billionaire Knows A Guy to help avoid paying taxes, the lotto winner simply doesn't and like 75% of the money goes to taxes.

Gonna laugh when, sufficiently annoyed by the boat-strike story not dying, the Trump admin declassifies footage of drone striking some middle eastern wedding parties during the Obama admin.

Gordon ramsey: you fucking DONKEY. What did I tell you? Chef: You said you've got to... pay the cheese tax every time you're um cooking Ramsey: so why did this fucking puppy come looking?! Chef: I forgot to- Ramsey: jesus christ this bastard forgot to pay the cheese tax

This is going to sound conspiratorial, but it is serves the LLM techbros for the 'em-dash = AI' lay-belief to persist. While em-dashes are diagnostically unreliable, it undermines the legitimacy of real writing/scholarship. And when real can't be discriminated from false, the false can thrive.

“That the human race is improving; that we have things to be proud of as humans. No, ancient astronauts did not build the pyramids — human beings built them, because they’re clever and they work hard. And Star Trek is about those things.” - Gene Roddenberry, September 1988

The only Democrats who could possibly punish Hegseth are ones who actually oppose genocide in principle, and *not a single one of them is in leadership*

The very key important problem with Democrats punishing Hegseth with war crimes is that they spent 2 years gleefully and enthusiastically engaging in genocide in Gaza.

STYLE NOTE: John Roberts will henceforth be referred to as the "Grand Wizard of the Supreme Court."

James Gunn has a message for the DC fandom "If you want to see something from a filmmaker, consider phrasing it as 'I' as opposed to 'we' .. Your personal desire is meaningful .. but when you frame your personal desire as a universal one, it rings false and becomes forgettable. Own what you want!"

Looking forward to this being an exhibit at his Hague trial

So true. I'd just add: the ascent in influence—from the lowest rung on the proverbial ladder of engagement to the many of the most powerful organizational roles in the city—is much flatter than many tend to assume. But the catch, and the key, is to engage consistently and as part of an organization.

It's Friday! Time for the good news thread. What's YOUR good news? In lieu of a pic of what I'm watching, I'm sharing the #Creatives4Sudan auction again. My good news is we've raised over 13k now but we can do more. Please consider a bid to make my news even better! app.galabid.com/creatives4su...

I just want some of these fucking people to face real consequences

"At first glance it sounds impossible—but a strategic look back at the coordinated strikes and militancy of the past two decades shows we might be much closer than we think. We’ve laid the groundwork." by @alexhan.bsky.social for @labornotes.bsky.social labornotes.org/2025/12/mayb...

He's presenting this as an indictment on Bluesky, but this is the reaction Mark Cuban should get everywhere. Bluesky is just a rare place where people who should receive hostile reactions to their very presence receive exactly that. www.reddit.com/r/BlueskySoc...

41 minutes is a long time to sit in your air conditioned office watching men struggle to survive as you decide to kill them.

This is annoying me so much. I cannot believe the BBC is making me defend James Daunt, but this article title is some absolute clickbait bullshit. "As a bookseller, we sell what publishers publish, but I can say that instinctively that is something that we would recoil [from]," he said.

A truly great idea. 10,000 ethical assets freely available. There’s no excuse for resorting to so-called AI with this and the *many* other assets you can use without resorting to laundered plagiarism. Support real artists, not con artists.

5 December 1920 | A Norwegian Jew, Mendel Jaffe, was born in Horten. Photography apprentice. On 26 November 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz. He did not survive.

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies. This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week. This is almost everything the government is doing.

New "Standing Room Only"! Today's episode is about Allie Beth Stuckey and the war on empathy. And boy, she's big mad about it. She did at least two videos about me. And we address them here — and will have more later. youtu.be/l45PAQ02B5o?...

“Instead of coming back to meet with us, to talk with us, to set up a meeting time, they instead allowed the NOPD to use force to empty the chamber… They would rather drag us out than talk with us."

We'll always have the mystery of who ripped out the panic buttons in Rep. Ayanna Pressley's office though. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

A great day for justice. A bad day for lovers of mean Marjorie Taylor Greene jokes.

Your timeline has been blessed by the raven of Friday Fortune, wishing for you the best of weekends.

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... This has been known for years, and disabled people had already been making the connection long before the government under Biden completely gave up trying to prevent covid infections.

One of the sequelae to covid is MCAS, and one of the big symptoms of that is acquiring exciting new allergic reactions to random things. You can suddenly behave allergic to deodorant, soap, wheat, chocolate, garlic, milk, cheese (and anything what contains histamines, such as leftovers), etc.

CBS News next weekend is broadcasting a Bari Weiss-Erika Kirk "town hall." Why not just start simulcasting Hannity?

Reading about smoking ban proposals before the tobacco master settlement in 1998 is always a trip: www.nytimes.com/1984/02/15/u...

Public smoking bans just got in under the wire, too. Younger folks might not realize how rare they used to be and how hard they were to enact.

After his death, the tribe that Abu Shabbab was raised and lived with before working for the IOF, the Tarabin tribe, has released a statement: “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 1/9
