Sounds more like Sting than Jenny Holzer...

Alan Partridge incarnate.

Thanks, Gemini.

ELON MUSK: every woman should have at least two of my children. well, every white woman. only native-born white people and billionaire white South Africans should be able to vote. let's drown trans people. EZRA KLEIN: guy's just monomaniacally focused on accelerating the EV revolution. admirable.

"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–" yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up

Jenny Holzer to you know about the paradox of tolerance?

thinking about how the Mad Men of nowtimes will probably have an episode about today and how don is going to sublimate what we're all feeling into a helluva campaign for same game parlays on draftkings

The Strait of Hormuz just needs to eat more prunes.

Someone in the administration saved his number in Trump's phone as "Ayatollah Whatshisname" and the President has been furiously texting back and forth with him for days.

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

CNN seems surprised that the Pope would treat his first meeting with the anti-Christ cautiously.

Assuming this is true, is the irony not absolutely galling?

Perr pressure can be really difficult to counteract as a parent.

I think it says something about how dumb this administration is that watching this is the first time I've wanted to eat a Twinkie in about 40 years.

Read the room, Jenny Holzer.

how is he good at everything

The timeline right now is all baseball dingers, Straits of Hormuz and cringe movie discourse (with a soupçon of pedo). Have we reached peak Bluesky yet?

Unironically incredibly good idea.

Can this be a solution?

It's important to remember that no one really knows anything.

It's a diaper change war.

Look, now that we're trying for real consequences for the Epstein files, maybe we should also take another look at the Panama Papers

Lauren Gillen has consistently voted with Trump his entire 2nd admin. It didn't start with her recent vote for ICE funding. Don't listen to her claims that we have to "work across the aisle" - we need to defeat the fascists across the aisle. Now we have a legitimate option to stand against Trump.

After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE. Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide: www.stephensemler.com/p/democratic...

I lived in L.A. for 14 years and it wasn't until I started learning Spanish (I stupidly took French in high school) that I realized how many place names WERE Spanish and how atrociously everyone pronounces them. (I'm looking at you Los Feliz.)

One of my earliest memories is of stomping around complaining, "Watergate Watergate Watergate" because it's all my father would watch on TV, preempting my afternoon cartoons. Now that I'm older I realize this uniquely American lack of accountability started at least during Reconstruction.

if the band on stage looks like this, you’re about to die in the mosh pit

Thought I'd finally read Doppelganger by Naomi Klein and, well, quite

sounds like Trump needs to soften his stance on trans issues, immigration, and foreign policy in order for Republicans to appeal to mainstream Americans

They dragged these poor guys out to help ICE, apparently.

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives. Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

I've been anxiously awaiting this fact check from the NY Times so I can finally decide whether or not Trump is having a good 2nd term.

Just got back from my first day as a bus driver. I think it went well, despite the passengers telling me (wrongly) I was going to wrong destination. Now to crack open a beer and check BlueSky...

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

How bad could unchecked speculative market based capitalist growth be? A Hanoi apartment now goes for 100 million VND ($3,805.68) per square meter. Or, to put it another way, for the average annual salary of a Vietnamese citizen you can now buy 1 square meter of residential real estate in Hanoi.

Of course the 2 parties are different. And the ways the Democratic party isn't the Republican party are good. But the ways they are the same are very very bad.

NYC sidewalks used to be covered in dog shit.

Mamdani: For the good of New York, I have ordered James Murphy to finish the next LCD Soundsystem album. Our long municipal nightmare is almost over.

I think the 2nd half of that sentence MIGHT be a tad more ironic.
