This is the villain Jackie Gleason would have played if he’d ever appeared on Batman 66. His plan would be to wreck Gotham City’s birthday by transforming everything true blue in Bat-Town into something green and slimy! Too early for a Swamp Thing appearance, sadly.

Yep

This is really gonna mess with all the “you can’t compare Trump to Hitler” trolls.

Weaker and weaker.

Nah. One can be a critic of AI without being a Chinese spy. What sort of nonsense is this.

Cousins of “why is nobody reporting [insert thing that is, in fact, being reported].”

The Walter Anderson Museum of Art will launch a free three-day Fisheye Film Festival June 11-13 in Ocean Springs, featuring films, workshops and discussions focused on environmental storytelling.

We hold this truth to be self-evident, no matter where you are in the world nothing can wreck your whole day like a UPS store.

A thing of beauty.

I spent the day swimming in a rainforest. That’s a sentence I never thought I’d type.

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

“When the federal government can reach across the country and pull a child’s entire medical file out of the filing cabinet without so much as a phone call to the parents, every family in America should be concerned. This is not how a limited government is supposed to work.” @nclrights.bsky.social

It's as if we asked how we could possibly make the anti democratic movement any worse and tech companies were like "Hold my beer."

From a purple state and the 1st SEC school to have a black quarterback, to this. It's been emotional torture watching what we've become.

I get emotionally attached to old sneakers and can’t throw them away. This is how I wound up growing Shoecumbers.

Tell me more about how Republicans and Trump are so tough on crime "Between January and the end of April, federal prosecutors charged eight people with gun or drug offenses – compared to 77 in the same period last year..." www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Excellent thread.

It’s hard to express what it feels like living in Memphis today. Rage gets close, but it’s insufficient.

Yep.

It’s depressing how things that were seen as KKK-level racism when I was in college are mundane government policies and Supreme Court decisions today.

In 2024 I threw an old, dear friend out of the house and told him to never come back because he could not bring himself to vote to defeat Trump and kept mocking my serious and informed concerns saying, “I’m so scared. Orange Man bad!”

STACEY ABRAMS, democracy champion and founder of Fair Fight, calls out the TNGOP racial gerrymander that splits Memphis across three congressional districts. She warned this map returns Tennessee to a “vicious past” that silenced voters. #handsoffmemphis #jimcrow #Tennessee

This is the other story to which I was alluding.

This is so terrible. The third country removals are human rights catastrophes; South Americans fleeing persecution in their homes, then being dumped in Kinshasa and told they can’t stay and must go… somewhere. Preferably right back to where they fled.

It could also be that he’s made of garbage.

Yeah. I’m inclined to think the attempt was real because Trump’s widely despised and conspiracy is hard. But for paranoid, overheated reporting, there’s nothing like scaring the shit out of elite media. Couldn’t have planned a better moment.

When the president is a heinous abuser, when many of the most popular celebrities are heinous abusers, when the richest people in the world are heinous abusers, when the people developing new technology are heinous abusers, well that’s how you get a culture that incentivizes abuse

I’m shocked. www.texastribune.org/2026/04/21/t...

From last night, my look at the weekend’s SCOTUS news about those 2016 memos … The New York Times scoop about the Clean Power Plan case SCOTUS memos highlights the conservative justices' brazen disregard for their own rules — both then and now.

What a complete garbage truck of a human being.

I’m not sure “resorting” is the right word, since post-apostolic belief in spiritual warfare and demonic activity is literal and more pervasive than rationalists want to believe. It’s more like defaulting. But even this seems to represent a shift. Would love commentary from Talia Lavin.

I couldn’t love my neighborhood more, and I am very much in the minority here.

Mayonnaise is just tartar sauce without all the bullshit.

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

The willingness of war hawks & authoritarians to inflict physical injury on the Other, and moral injury on the rest of us, is something most of us neither question nor oppose strongly enough. That has to change. If there is any good to come of our current state, it must start with this recognition.

Pretty sure this is two pictures of the same guy.
