banning antifreeze from your kitchen won’t stop poisonings, and that’s why you should put it in your water bottle

This man? Not actually related to the Tanners at all, yet they call him "Uncle Joey"

I think those heavy cooling blankets only work because our little hotbox of a dog doesn’t like to get under them with us.

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

New Yorker cartoons nail it again.

Jasmine Crockett for Attorney General in 2028.

I miss the times when the biggest scandals were tan things. When blue replaced the tan m&m, when Obama wore a tan suit. Those were simpler times.

I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."

her name couldn’t really be WILL OBEY

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

better things are possible!!!!

Amazing how many articles there were about “Kamala Harris, what does she do? What policy debates does she participate in? How is she “messing up the border?” And the current VP is just a full on shitposter and the political press goes, “ah well, nevertheless”

How can you be an informant of a hoax

i listened to newt gingrich’s podcast for this shit so you better read it (and subscribe, share, etc etc)

The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

*DOG: “You're finally back! I missed you so much!!”

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

That Big Balls is not punched in the face everywhere he goes shows the incredible restraint and lawfulness of DC residents.

Picked this up at a used bookstore today. It was published in 2012 and now we know that it’s even worse than It’s Even Worse Than it Looks.

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

On this day two years ago, local cops raided the offices of the Marion County Record newspaper in Kansas for investigating the police chief. One year ago @journalist-sherman.bsky.social and I visited Marion to cover the continued fallout. Read our Kansas Press Association Award-winning series here:

New — I wrote about Lieutenant-Colonel Anthony Aguilar, a former contractor for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and his harrowing stories of what he witnessed while being there under the guise of distributing food aid to starving Palestinian civilians:

this is one of my ultimate “could never get away with this today” movies genuinely an impeccable way to teach kids that poverty is an artificial social construct and the cops use violence to enforce it also Friar Tuck is one of cinema’s greatest Catholics I am serious

Hi, remember when we were screaming that DOGE's ridiculous and reckless would cost people their lives? It happened sooner than many of us thought.

personally, I think it is a problem if a Substack eugenicist has access to lists of millions of people by race www.theverge.com/analysis/703...

NEW from me — FEMA staffers say the response to the Texas floods is horrifyingly slow, and it may be because of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's recent increased control over how the agency spends money. "If this is how they are going to do a major hurricane response, people are fucked.”

these people (in the screenshot not the quoted post) are so friggin weird

Always.

And this is what I mean about backlash.

Exactly. People go around driving cars and riding in airplanes because they trust the experts who made them. Not everyone can be an expert on everything. The demonizing of expertise is dangerous.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

We know. They gave you immunity.

A story of staggering hypocrisy, in two tweets.

Prior to the civil war, armed citizens in the north confronted US Marshals and vigilante slave catchers to prevent them from abducting Black people who had escaped slavery. They had the moral clarity to resist the greatest evil of their time.

When the American Dialect Society chose "rawdog" as our Word of the Year for 2024, I don't think we imagined its use in the Vatican!
