Rick Steves is an American treasure. Just all-around, one of the absolute best of us.

scared jake and crumpled tate are good christmas presents

There is an epidemic of the trans and non-binary kidsthat do exist being cool as hell tho.

I don't like boxing but today is a great day to be a fan of assholes getting their shit rocked on live TV

taking a moment to appreciate the fact that if i my head gets exploded on camera no one in my life will attempt to franchise the scene of my death.

The person charged with enforcing the laws is an open lawbreaker, assisted by a team of open lawbreakers, backed by a Congressional majority indifferent to lawbreaking, supported by a Supreme Court that privileges them to break the law. It has no legitimacy whatsoever.

It's your birthday, Duane.

Who the hell uses a thing known for hallucinating facts for *research* omg don't (While we're at it, same goes for translation, don't use any automatic translation directly unless you're very very sure of what you're saying in the other language)

White supremacists getting their jaws broken. More of that please.

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of

Say it with me now- placeholder assets are supposed to be bright and obvious so you DON’T ship with them. Also it doesn’t matter if no ai-generated assets are in the final executable?? The rising sea levels aren’t gonna be like “oh well no one saw that so the climate change doesn’t count”

Sometimes I think about the fact that 50 Shades of Grey was apparently someone's repurposed Twilight fan fiction that they made millions of dollars off of. As long as it ain't hurtin' nobody, put your stupid shit out in the world and if anybody tells you no do it anyway.

This is not the first time RFK Jr or his fellow anti-vax travelers conducted a study they knew would harm or kill children in low-income countries. It is a dehumanizing, colonialist model of manufacturing evidence: sacrificing foreign kids for political pseudoscience. www.notus.org/health-scien...

This is an immensely important step in removing a statutory authorization that had long outlived its original intended purpose, and was primed to be used in unexpected and potentially problematic ways. Great to see bipartisan leadership from Sens. Kaine and Young yield results like this.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

oh my god

I will recommend one AI based foraging resource for every comment this post gets

I'm pretty sure that at this point in time, the remaining opposition to renewables are nothing but the tantrums of those with interest in fossil fuels and/or could not get the logic of "there's no cost to obtaining the fuel" to sink into the brain.

this is PRETTY bad www.fda.gov/inspections-...

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

He's also fucking lying while he dose it. Only "entitlement" cuts can have any hope, huh? How much money is ICE getting? The Pentagon? Means testing costs more to implement than it saves. At best saying tariffs help the math is naive. archive.is/emolg

I’m old enough to remember when Mitt Romney said the problem was that 47% of America didn’t pay taxes and wanted to be freeloaders. But I welcome him to the resistance.

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.

SNAP benefits should be universal, with zero means testing, and generous. Even from a purely capitalist perspective this would benefit the economy massively. The only reason to be against this is because you're pro-suffering.

Reminder that in June, 2016, a suit (w/witnesses) was filed against Trump re: his repeated raping of a 13 year-old child at an Epstein party. (She wasn't a "teen," in anything but the most technical of senses. She was a 7th, maybe an 8th grader.) We've known he was a child rapist THIS WHOLE TIME.

"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

I somehow missed that Dan Savage was on Bluesky now. If you missed the memo, consider this your reminder that Dan Savage is a racist transphobe who has allied himself with Jesse Singal (!) and written racist screeds attacking Black people while dismissing the racism of white gays.

FLAT FUCK IS COMING TO TOWN!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS GATOR LOVERS!!

this whole thing echoes as a white kid of money in a poor town in Louisiana where i went to the only private school it wasn't until post-college that i got my head out of my ass with the help of a lot of people who were way more patient and kind than i'd earned in any way.

my child is well above this reading level but i still may buy a copy of this book

this is culturally a vital work of modern art

Erstwhile 'Leftist' Jimmy Dore is now 100% indistinguishable from anyone on the hard right. The number 1 predictor of this trajectory? Being wrong about Ukraine

I watched it in grad school and was SHOOK. If you haven’t watched it, I’m not sure you can appreciate the significance of President Woodrow Wilson loving it so much that he screened it in the White House. The first film to be screened there, of course. It is incandescently racist.

one thing that is important to know is that BIRTH OF A NATION is so racist that people at the *time*, in 1915, were like, “holy shit this is racist”

You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?" Friend, let's find out together by watching this PSA.

man if i worked at the “build a model of a living room and set it on fire, for public safety announcements” factory i would never shut the fuck up about it

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons
