Yes! Precisely this!!!

This is a really astute point, I think: the firehose of shit is actually ensuring that as long as you're not a Trump dead-ender, no matter *what* you care about, they're likely doing *something* that pisses you off

This is silly for a number of reasons but underdiscussed is the fact that the Craig films *begin* with an acknowledged reboot, which you'd think would make this easier!

Unfair, frankly, that this is how things work

Fantasy publishing had an immunodeficiency well before the AI infection set in

🚨PTEROSAUR NEWS🚨 a warm welcome to bakiribu waridza, a filter-feeding ctenochasmatid from the early cretaceous romualdo formation of brazil. described by @alinemghilardi.bsky.social et al., it is recovered as a sibling taxon to the 'flamingo pterosaur' pterodaustro (art by julio lacerda)

Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- [email protected] or dm me. RTs are appreciated so this can reach more people. Thanks!

In my old town the GOP had run basically without serious challenge for decades. A bunch of us "millennials" joined the local Dem party and basically asked to help. We were running it in a year. Within 4 years we had a majority of town seats flipped Dem. A FAR more progressive Dem than old party

this is hysterically funny given that the prevailing tone of my various feeds has been "DEATH. WAR. FIRE. BLOOD"

The “Syncretic Vader“ hypothesis explains why various documents purporting to depict the ”individual” inside the armor vary so widely in physical characteristics

It's often said that no book is ever finished, just taken away from an author. I'm finding that the same is true of research before you start writing the book, too

In the 1890s, Gifford Pinchot — often hailed as America's first serious forest conservationist — went on a quest to make forests that could be tightly controlled. In doing so, Marin Scotten writes, he helped birth both the American suburb and a new age of wildfires. New, on Heat Death!

Critical Minerals? There’s a Plant for That Could phytomining—using plants to pull metal out of the soil—put the green in “green transition”? by @sarahdeweerdt.bsky.social www.biographic.com/critical-min...

I don’t do intro posts but every now and then I repost the greatest images ever: HORSES WITH DOG MOUTHS.

Oh, it was *Zionists* that corrupted "our" politicians and helped usher in fascism in this country, was it? Good thing it was them and not a larger, long-festering homegrown issue in American political life. If we just purge them it all be better

Hard mode: do not invoke Indiana Jones

It's worse, sometimes, *because* it's so casual. Why are you, British writer, capping off a charming anecdote about a Brazilian crowd repeatedly (and with increasingly visible exasperation) standing for a recording of the National Anthem by offhandedly referring to one of them by the N-word?

The trouble with any travelogue published by a European or American in the 1930s is that -- the more genuinely funny or engaging it is -- the more of a record scratch the invitable explosions of casual racism become

"Great Britain used to be a peninsula that had civilizations living on it" or "it's possible that the Black Sea was a freshwater lake hundreds of feet lower than it is today before a waterfall bigger than anything you could possible imagine filled it up from the Sea of Marmara in one year" are cool!

A fun thing about the Biblical flood story is that most every culture that lived anywhere near an ocean 10,000 years ago has a flood story; they're clearly all cultural memories of sea level rise in the wake of the melting of the Wisconsin glaciation; and credulous rubes ignore how cool that is.

AIPAC should be abolished but they and Israel have absolutely nothing to do with the shut down or the Senate democrats caving on it. Y'all please get a *grip*

Jesus fucking christ

In 2022 I wrote about how cities die, the Musk takeover of Twitter, the "dead internet theory," and the increasingly demon-haunted online world. It's held up...distressingly well, I'd say

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

[whispers] it's legal to sign up with both Indivisible and DSA. you don't even have to decide who you're doing entryism on until later.

To put it in wrestling terms, people want them to stop pulling works and just shoot

This is not the end of the story, this is a sentence in the "Background" section of a Wikipedia page

i think a lot of dems are unaware of just how much they're demoralizing their base, to the point of advocating *against* democrats, whenever this stuff happens. the conspiracy theories aren't true, but they're easy to believe, especially when conveniently amplified by an algorithm

On top of everything else going on here, very odd behavior to evoke a sentator's foreskin in this context. Or like...at all

I think the people assuming that the Senate's decision to cave has anything whatsoever to do with Mamdani need to take a breather

Not to Andor post here too much but the DSA pitch to Indivisible is a simple one: Don't you want to fight these bastards for real?

How much longer shall we let the Senate Democrats kick us?

AOC should announce tonight

Not a single senate Democrat should be politically safe from this day forward. Not one

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

All of This Has Happened Before

I am once again asking Democratic congressional leadership to stop completely vindicating the most vulgar leftist 'both sides are the same' midwits

Official statement from @jamestalarico.bsky.social on shutdown negotiations

i don’t think the axios reporting is entirely off base if you have house members out here soft launching an abolish-the-senate position lmfao

the thing about senate democrats is that if they faced half the fury senate republicans get from their own base they would probably bend to the inevitable to save their careers. but the lesson of March is that they not only took them for granted, they thought they could fool them.
