Are you aware we execute innocent people in the US quite regularly? Here's a story about Anthony Boyd, an innocent black man the state of Alabama intends to murder by gas mask next week. What can you do? Read this, and check out the thread below for how you can help. 🩷

Ah yes let’s elect a man who doesn’t know the difference between legalization and decriminalization.

Bang! The sled hit a tree.

this is the list of ideological identifiers laid out in the NSPM-7 that would predict violence, and are all of course, incredibly reasonable positions or just ridiculous framing, like “extremism on gender” which is just being pro-trans:

Florida is wild. If you leave a room in your house empty for long enough, a Dollar General opens in there

Thinking about viscachas again

We had Angela Davis speak at my university a couple of years back. One of the many insightful things she said - protest in the way that aligns with your passion. If that’s poetry do poetry or music etc. Because then you will be able to sustain it. If naked bike rides are your passion, 100% do that.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

They should make a story about a shy girl who loves to sing but is just kind of mediocre at it.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Essential info here given that my insurer (and yours, if you're on a marketplace plan) should have sent this info out weeks ago for planning purposes esp since I may need to try to switch insurers, downgrade my coverage, or cancel insurance altogether for affordability.

i slept wrong last night so my hip will never be the same again

*brings updated terms and conditions to a knife fight*

I think Dems can and should do better than people who are abusive to their staff members

i will vote for anybody who fixes the headlight brightness situation

I love it when academics publish papers that are like, "I checked and I'm still right" www.jstor.org/stable/24393...

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

“Frog,” said Toad, “let us eat one very last cookie, and then we will stop.”

Ultimately, we're all looking for the same thing: a horse who solves crimes

The speed at which the administration has been able to convince people “gender ideology” is a normal and totally appropriate way to describe the idea that trans people deserve basic human rights is a sobering demonstration of how much they’ve managed to capture and reshape language. NYT this week.

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

It is pretty amazing to see people go from “the left is the enemy of democracy and must be purged” to “who can really know why good kids do bad things?”

If I hear one more “political violence is NEVER necessary” from someone who lives on land taken by revolution, kept whole by civil war, and protected from Nazi domination in part by armed civilian resistance, I will start a podcast

Political violence is deeply unpleasant and also we all pretty much agree someone could’ve saved 10 million lives if they’d taken out Hitler, right??

the one trick mods don’t want you to know

I can't believe people are making light of the tragedy that occured yesterday (finding out that Matt Berry is part of the new Harry Potter project).

Two seasons into #Wednesday and I’m still confused as to why this new iteration of the Addams family is so dysfunctional. The whole point of the original work is that — unlike “normal” families — this weird family was deeply and proudly loving.

Oh dang, guess he's feeling better

hey im putting something together for my boss for his birthday. yeah can you write a letter or better yet an insane poem or horrifying drawing about the unspeakable crimes you all have committed together

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...
