I wish I could capture our night sky view. For you. That stranger I knew, know, touch from a distance.That telephone line we built from tin cans, rope to now. When my night sky is so different than yours. Still. I wish you could see what I see, I long to see yours. The view of a whole universe.

I was going to try to recreate a thread. But I’m not going to. I’m just going to post the screen shots of the little ode I wrote on facebook. Because, honestly, I don’t want to diminish the prose. I hope you will read:

Obama on Jesse Jackson: "The message he sent to a 22 year old child of a single mother with a funny name, an outsider, was that maybe there wasn't any place, any room, where we didn't belong"

A DOJ source says FBI agents found the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child to be credible: "They would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying."

Polymarket is trying VERY HARD to wheedle their way into a more socially acceptable space, where instead of being FanDuel for bombings, they are thought of as An Important Dataset. They just partnered (read: gave money to) Substack for this reason. Do not accept the premise. It is bullshit.

I mean, if someone bombed the United States in a prolonged, multi-day assault that eliminated our top leadership, we wouldn't consider that a war. That's intramural volleyball.

Good lord humans are stupid

Pretty sure when they started imposing this idiocy they assured a bunch of judges that they would be able to refund the money with no problem if it ever came to that.

lmfao Thomas Keller showing up to a community meeting in his chefs jacket to complain about affordable housing being built near his 3 Michelin star restaurant is just beyond parody. what a piece of shit

never forget

The fact that they start with Gladiator pretending they are Maximus when they are quite literally Commodus tells you all you need to know.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

Idiot has never read the First Amendment and it shows.

I’m not MAGA. And this fool is still under the weird impression that you can pick up cable channels with rabbit ears. What an idiot.

Someone can’t Google worth shit. This is an amazingly dumb skeet.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

He planned the sit-ins alongside John Lewis, Diane Nash, and Marion Berry amd the thing he told me about fear sticks. He said "of course" they were afraid, they were ypung. But he said they were more afraid of what would happen to this country if they did nothing. Ashé.

“I have usernames older than you.”. Holy shit

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

what the fuck are we doing www.wsj.com/business/med...

The dumbest fucking takes.

This is fucking gross.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Given the obvious portents for Republicans, seems that this election is going to be riddled with fake Democrats and the billionaires that fund them.

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

Putting Markwayne Mullin in charge of anything is an incredibly, unfathomably bad idea. This isn't scraping the bottom of the barrel, this is picking up the barrel to see what horrid things might be found underneath it.

this fucking guy

Shocked face.

The thing about fascists is that they have so much respect for each other.

The new homeland security nominee…

here's Sen. John Kennedy suggesting earlier today that Noem lied during her testimony earlier this week

This is the argument WP make instead of admitting their peers are simply racist bigots. Pretending a cable channel with like 2-3m in ratings on their best day is why 70+ people voted for this asshole is dumb.

So confident. So wrong.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Noem deserved to be fired. That is a win for the forces of the Constitution. But the fact that Trump launched a war with the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and then days into it fired his Homeland Security secretary is a level of reckless incompetence that should get him fired too.

He will obviously without question end up being worse than Kristi Noem

Worth watching this again today. 😁

JFC...We have absolutely no shame whatsoever. National Strategic Reserve of Shame...empty. Can't even borrow any shame from someone, apparently. www.bbc.com/news/article...

She died by setting herself on fire. The fact that he refuses to step down is just one aspect of his repugnance.

There it is: Noem out, Mullin in

To be able to watch it again for the first time would be amazing. But even after having watched it at least twenty times, it is still always amazing.

I like that an account named Rude Law Dog gets to share this news.

1) You obliterated their ability to make nukes back in June, or so you said--and Tulsi Gabbard stated that they weren't even doing so. 2) If crazy people in charge of nukes bothers you, resign immediately.

the guys trying to call DoD the "department of war" are getting very prickly about people calling their war a "war"

Yup, we fucking bombed the first-aid clinic set up in the immediate aftermath of the first bombing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Mi...

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Court TV exposed the identity of an undercover police officer during a murder trial, just a few weeks after the network was sold to a software developer and issued dozens of pink slips.

I noted that this is what Sen Kennedy kept pressing her on the other day… whether Trump has approved it. She said they had discussed it.
