Hegseth buying $7 million worth of lobster while the Trump administration cut food stamps for the poorest among us has to resonate, right?

Pete Townsend is unreal in this Colbert segment. Among many highlights is the story of an Owsley-fuelled out of body experience on the plane ride back from Monterey Pop. By a few minutes in, Colbert is beaming and in awe of what's happening on his show youtu.be/qU07-6AMUpk?...

Can I just say: As weary as you may feel, do not turn away from the degradation and desecrations, the violations and the violence. This is what the lawless Trump regime hopes--that our fatigue will make it easier for them to consolidate their power.

“…in fields most explicitly associated with the production of critical thought – what is collectively referred to as the “humanities” – most scholars see AI as a unique threat, one that extends far beyond cheating on homework and casts doubt on the future of higher education itself…”

If you’re bitching about the Live Nation/Ticketmaster settlement w/DOJ for less than 1% of their profits last year and not mentioning Kellyanne Conway negotiated the settlement w/her friends in Trump administration you’re doing it wrong. This is how corruption works, folks.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

With the enshittification of everything technological that I once loved, the appeal of all things analog and offline is getting irresistible…

The next revolution will not be fueled by anger, but by love. When I say this, I think of bell hooks, who taught that love and conflict are inseparable. She believed we must face conflict through love’s power and not the destructive force of violence. #WomensHistoryMonth

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

Executive Order 9066 forced Japanese-American photographers to destroy, hide, or store their prints and equipment with trusted acquaintances. Many of them abandoned their profession or passion following incarceration during WWII.

In 1888, Van Gogh painted La Mousmé, inspired by Japanese prints and Pierre Loti’s Madame Chrysanthème. It depicts a Provençal girl in a patterned dress standing before pale green—blue and orange vibrating in quiet harmony.

Trump, suffering from dementia, is confused about where his father was born. It was in the Bronx, not in Germany. Trump's grandfather was an immigrant who came here after getting kicked out of Germany for evading the draft.

He's got dementia and has surrounded himself with psychopaths. This is not a drill.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show. Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground: “We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

Every time he says something like this, the Secret Service quietly googles, “is dementia covered under executive privilege?”

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it. 15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

Van Gogh painted Portrait of Dr. Gachet twice in June 1890. The doctor leans on his arm, eyes heavy with thought. The foxglove symbolizes medicine's reach and its limited ability to address human suffering.
