A proper eulogy for Jason Collins, from @remas.bsky.social defector.com/jason-collin...

Holy shit y’all this is not a drill, David Letterman and Stephen Colbert are dropping stuff off the rooftop of a building near the Ed Sullivan Theater!

I regret to inform you that this year's installment of 4K pictures of Brett Kavanaugh participating in an annual charity fun run is now available on Getty Images

I know @dinfontay.com didn't necessarily mention it, but I think drinkers of tequila are seeing an expanding number of influencers talk about additives and what good tequila is and Casamigos ain't it and that's a problem. I just got a great bottle I like better that's cert organic for $35.

Oh my god the photo of Southampton's intern spying on Boro is incredible

Well, I think Elon and Trump have been on the same flight logs before

Baltimore and I will always have the kinship the rest of the family historically denied

There was an entire group of prominent economists who spent three years shivving Joe Biden & Jay Powell at every turn, ignoring the freely-available cross-national data, & fanning myths about inflation & US fiscal & monetary policy that helped get Donald Trump re-elected. They're curiously 🦗 now 🤷‍♂️

Louisiana Senate committee passed new gerrymander eliminating majority-Black district at 4:30 AM last night. Democracy quite literally dying in darkness lailluminator.com/2026/05/13/l...

I stumbled upon this really fascinating essay on Native Hawaiians www.civilbeat.org/2026/05/beyo...

A lot of people don't seem to know this but the Genocide Convention does not require a single person to have been killed for it to have been violated.

My DC people: have you seen this cat wtop.com/local/2026/0...

I'm curious how much of the "no tax for" slopulism is driven by politicians deciding they need to be seen 'doing something' ... because this new (and very excellent) CNN poll on economic pain points shows voters aren't focused on taxes at all. www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

BREAKING: Feds level criminal charges in Key Bridge disaster, accusing company and 1 employee of improperly using flushing pumps — which can cause blackouts — and lying to investigators. W/ @hayesgardner.bsky.social www.thebanner.com/community/cr...

"Thank you for using the power of government to support the collective in a democratic fashion to ensure the masses thrive" - fish

There's a weird technical thing to be aware of. Six months ago we were in the middle of a government shutdown, and shelter inflation couldn't be properly measured. Today's number is "catch up" from it being artificially depressed in October.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

How high are gas prices? The Air Force's official charity was offering $150 gas grants to help airmen and guardians, starting today through Friday. They ended it after the first few hours because demand was so great.

A tale of how moderation works around here, in two parts

Why would people think the courts are partisan though

Jamaica doesn't deserve that....

This list led me to Rick Rickert, who was still playing basketball in 2018, despite never making the league like the rest of these guys did. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Ri...

"Jonah Peretti, BuzzFeed’s co-founder, will step down as chief executive and serve as its president of A.I." No notes.

Kari Lake just got nominated to be Ambassador to Jamaica

Disappointed (but not surprised) to see the edges of where NPR’s reporting on Andrew Morse stops. Hope somebody paints a fuller picture of what happened at the AJC before he scuttles back to his comfy New York enclave!

Because of this guy, Atlanta is now the only major city in North America not to have a legacy print paper. Good riddance.

the gas tax has been frozen at 22 cents since 1993. it would be 55 cents now if it was indexed to inflation (which it obviously should be)

...did he really turn on the new system and then take a vacation, bc that would explains so much about last week

NEWS --> Top Virginia Dems have decided against exercising a procedural end-run around the State Supreme Court ruling that cost Dems four House seats, the Dem leader of the state senate tells me. This will anger Dems who wanted an aggressive response. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/2102...

JUST IN: The Trump admin was hit with a lawsuit this morning for painting the Reflecting Pool blue. The Cultural Landscape Foundation claims the admin violated federal laws by altering the historic site without first having its plans reviewed. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

I know that it's Calvinball now but saying you're going to dismantle a district because it's 47% African American sure seems like the intentional racial discrimination that's still banned

By the way if you do the math on this, of the top 100 accounts on Twitter, almost 80% of engagement goes to conservatives. The conservative accounts received about 18 billion engagements in 2026, compared to about 400 million for liberal accounts.

Right wing views are down literally everywhere, except for Twitter

Hantavirus is no joke 😂 That's why I've started washing my hands after touching rat feces 🐀 What are doing differently to fight hantavirus?💪

"My reporting for this article is based on conversations with 14 men and women who said they had been sexually assaulted by Israeli settlers or members of the security forces". Why is this piece in the NYT Opinion section?

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

sure gas is headed to $8/gallon but at least cornell got rid of their gender studies classes. or at least i think they did, i haven’t checked and if im being honest i wouldnt really know if they had or hadnt because it doesnt affect me but it makes $8/gallon gas all worth it

Toni Morrison’s response to her books being considered bleak, pessimistic, and joyless.

I saw Jaques Pepin drinking wine out of what looked like a pint glass on an old episode of his show, so just letting you know that's ok in practice. Do with this information what you will. No it was not filled, it was just below half.

Wow this double cocktail that is 5 ounces of nothing but booze is hitting me hard, who could've predicted?

They gave him an award and called him an environmental activist lmaooo

Here's the website with the recordings. It's been under heavy DDoS for a week now hondurasgate.ch

have to admit it is quite funny that Donald Trump, the Republican Party president, has kicked the green energy transition into overdrive with a de facto ~$100 a ton carbon tax. getting a little chuckle out of that

One of the most pernicious developments of the trans sports panic is the mainstream normalizing of major nationwide media outlets naming and shaming minors with no consequences whatsoever. Kids are having their lives ruined daily and it’s become so common I rarely see people comment on it anymore.

This sport is stupid

“We, the creators of the Torment Nexus, are now suing the writers of the classic science fiction novel ‘Don’t Create the Torment Nexus.’”

Sharyl Attkisson thought Obama hacked her computer when the delete key got stuck. I’m not kidding. Link below. She is incredibly stupid. I’ve followed her “work” for over decade because she was also one of the few media people who took the antivax movement’s most crank theories seriously.
