Is this a cursed headline? Obviously. Is this the most cursed headline of even just today? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Practice being brave now, don’t wait for some special moment at the end to be a hero." This is excellent. open.substack.com/pub/peaceful...

Hegseth fires general officers and JAGs, cracks down on dissenting views in military, orders killing civilians at sea without legal rationale, calls generals to Quantico to demand loyalty. Trump deploys troops to U.S. cities. "What are Trump and Hegseth up to? It's a mystery!"

Men, if you’re wondering why you’re lonely: This is men.

“I’m emotionally shellshocked right now,” said one professor in the Texas Tech system. “What does it say about academic freedom? It says we don’t have it.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

"The envy of all women."

My mom worked for the CENSUS Bureau. One of her long-term projects was a study about what people eat for the Department of Agriculture. I learned a lot from hearing my mom talk about that work.

Trying to figure out where the fuck to begin I settled on HARRY REID.

Utah was the first state to allow open carry on campus. A would-be assailant could walk right onto campus armed as they please and nobody could’ve done a thing about it.

Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk. Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.

These are the folks building that white hetero housing development in the Ozarks. They seem like cool guys.

love to anthropomorphize my electromechanical slave, surely nothing bad will result from blurring the lines between how I treat humans and how I treat machines, I am a very serious philosopher

Oh, hey. This is my school district and I may be quoted in this article.

there is no better time than the present to get to know your neighbors. go to community meetings. organize. look out for one another. all we got is each other.

The goal of a broad anti-fascist alliance isn’t to agree on everything. It is to defeat fascism, so that liberals, neocons, progressives, and nationalists can disagree bitterly about everything else

Dang. Even white people are coming around.

100% No race should go uncontested. Even if a Dem has no chance of winning, people need to see Dems running. Republicans should have to fight for the ein and liberals and progressives need to know that they are not alone. Over the long haul, it makes a real difference and drives change.

hi this is my favorite writing advice, it's from former simpsons writer john swartzwelder (i think about the crappy little elf all the time) www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

It cannot be easy to be a police officer in Sandwich, Massachusetts right now.

A useful WaPo map of where Trump Storm Troops are actually operating in DC. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202... If you know DC, what this map tell you is: They're making the gaudy show of strength in areas where it matters least and will do least good. Except for sheer spectacle.

Why aren't there more support for Republicans among academics and scientists? We may never know.

Thinking you're all tough and projecting strength while actually just humiliating yourself really is the foundational feature of MAGA masculinity.

this is like if a far side cartoon grew up to be a real boy

I didn’t know I was hoping to never see this bish’s face again but apparently I was

This gal really has her finger on the pulse

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life.

Pasta salad, Georgia O’Keeffe’s recipe for tomato aspic, and my kinda (weirdly?) thirsty tribute to young Ozzy Osbourne.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

Faculty who wrote to defend their president and object to a DOJ investigation of their university...are now being investigated by the DOJ. The most banal defense of free speech and academic freedom will trigger the full wrath of the US government now. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/u...

I've been feeling so powerless lately and this piece doesn't feel like enough but just in case people are moved to help: www.thecut.com/article/how-...

Every news outlet that reports on US stocks "surging" should be required to note that the wealthiest 10% of Americans hold more than 90% of all the value of US stocks.

I mean, sure? I would love that.
