Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

Yes, this. Everyone can keep blaming Biden & Garland if they want, but the primary, secondary, & tertiary answer to everything about our democracy's collapse since 2021 is "Mitch McConnell & the GOP Senators totally violated the oaths they swore on Bibles, twice, & so here we are."

also just realized this joke gets even funnier if you read it while doing your best zapp brannigan impression

“yeah i used to play chess but its been a while. which one is the pope?” “bishop.” “ah, so its a catholic game. and these are the altar boys?” “they’re pawns.” “interesting. what a sick twisted game this is indeed.”

To be clear: this is the same admin that kicked nearly 3,000 Vermonters off SNAP and cut Medicaid because 'we couldn’t afford it.' Shame.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Pope Leo on AI: “Within digital environments — structured to persuade — interaction is optimized to the point of rendering a real encounter superfluous; the otherness of persons in the flesh is neutralized, and relationships are reduced to functional responses.” This short thread is worth reading:

shout to asian supermarkets because i bought a giant bag of fortune cookies for $3. now i can cut out the middleman

Dishonored 2 and onwards obviously looked amazing as well but there's something about Dishonored 1s painterly style and super baked in lighting that makes me go "this is a perfect looking videogame" every time I see it.

to the tune of Pink Pony Club

just got my butt kicked in a game of chess versus a 12 year old kid. then we played again and he was straight up sacrificing some of his pieces to give me a fighting chance but still ganged up on my solitary king. but at least i know how to spell works like indefatigable

Last Stand

Again there's simply no comparison between the scope, scale, & tone of the JOE BIDEN EPICALLY AND INCOMPETENTLY FAILED IN AFGHANISTAN coverage of August/September 2021 & the "just the facts, very measured" reporting of what's going on with Iran & Trump now.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies -Cracked down on predatory landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

We really sent the guy who couldn’t pick out donuts.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

Political theatre changes minds. So much politics ARE theatre. Use it. Do it. Put on a show! Flood the news cycles. Make it all anyone talks about, and it will make a difference.

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

“How we started a war with Iran & it's all China's fault: why didn't u hold us back bro” consent manufacturing machine go burrrrrrrr

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Fifty research lab shuttered. Countless decades-old experiments and scientific records lost. Thousands of forest scientists and experts essentially forced into retirement. The destruction of science on a massive scale.

This is so, so well-articulated.

In any other day and age, this would be an earth shattering story. Because of Trump, it barely registers.

objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

How’s the economy? Not bad if you’re rich. What if you aren’t? The typical American can’t afford the median-priced home. A new car is out of reach for many, with the average monthly payment exceeding $700. More middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet. nbcnews.to/4rPoufr

Squeezed by data centers' relentless demand for electricity, a Nevada energy company just said it's going to stop supplying energy to Tahoe. The city has a year to figure out how to meet 75% of its energy needs without it.

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

this knocked me out

The Iran war is showing that renewable energy is a national security imperative, and that fighting renewables tooth and nail as the White House has been doing since day one deeply undermines national security, as @ryanlcooper.com writes. prospect.org/2026/03/13/i...

we shouldn't just solarize the country because it's the coolest fucking technology on earth. there are practical benefits too

Vote in the midterms like your children’s and grandchildren’s lives depend on it. Because they do.

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful. Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
