Weird how often I’m seeing the recurring line from conservative pundits a la “I didn’t believe all the warning signs about Trump because the left critiqued him too often and I stopped listening” no sir you’re just a useful idiot with a guest column.

Got meself a wee project which took up my whole evening, I think people call this kind of thing a "timeline cleanse"?

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

After the killing of Ms Good, Greg Bovino of the CPB led a raid on a Minneapolis HS. An official there said: They don’t care. They’re just animals,” I’ve never seen people behave like this.” All MPLS schools now closed for the week. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Watching my toddler son clutching his stuffed dog (he calls it Wolfy) as he got in the car to go to preschool hit differently this morning.

Campbell’s Unveils New Line Of Self-Defense Soups https://theonion.com/campbells-unveils-new-line-of-self-defense-soups/

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.

I was familiar with it before but actually sitting down to read Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is like discovering a new primary color. A bunch of Tom of Finland guys named, like, Grand Funk Railroad and Kiss Alive saying shit like "You actually thought decapitating me would slow me down? Foolish child."

Aside from Murante being a dummy, I don’t love the idea of opening up our retirement accounts to being played with by the investor class.

It’s kinda neat to hear a recording of W.E.B. DuBois laughing about someone bringing him books to sign and then learning it was for the purpose of resale. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

You can find the worst takes imaginable from publications like The Hill or NYT, and every single time they’re written by a man named something stupid like Becket.

really went dark for the sequel

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down TRUMP: Uh huh MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade? TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

Happy GIS Day to all who celebrate! Just remember that some of us are non-denominational geospatial engineers and many of us prefer Happy Holidays. Let's be inclusive of our CAD operators, drafters, surveyors and opensource colleagues in addition to ESRI users during these festive times! 🌈

This overexcited drug-sniffing Beagle keeps stopping people at Dulles, who all just have food in their bags. It’s the best. Bad airport dog. Good puppy. Great to watch.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.” … but what is plenary authority?

Daughter of Robin Williams, Zelda Williams 💔

this is basically portland's version of a haka

Any writer worth a damn will tell you that writing short is often a lot harder than writing long. Capturing something essential about the modern world in 80,000 words is an accomplishment. The Riyadh Comedy Festival manages to do it in four.

Pete Davidson will surely “Never Forget” that Saudi paycheck. This is the only joke I’m gonna tell for a year.

Any of those public figures who say the words "Western civilization" all the time now should be immediately disregarded and also has a type of porn on their laptop that cannot be legally described in any known human language.

spent a few days standing in drainage channels and getting rained on, but that’s public service for you. anyway Ogallala is neat.

Third Stepdad In Row Has Goatee

Wanted to paint this dog

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In retrospect, we all should have been way meaner to anyone that was angry there were female Ghostbusters

Ta-Nehisi Coates has written the best yet commentary on last week's events, while pundits, politicians and others have disgraced themselves in their whitewashing of of this man's legacy. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Trans rights are human rights.

damn he really cooked

Polyphemus after Odysseus doxxed himself

In 1988, it was illegal to sell a coffee mug without one of these cats on it

50% of headlines these days could be summed up as “You Are Surrounded By Terrifying Morons”

cursed to be strangled to death by a skinless Night Hag but she didn't gather enough energy to fully manifest in my reality, so she can only squeeze my throat enough to give me persistent sleep apnea. she is so frustrated

What if they not letting Trump speak because he had a Reverse Fetterman Stroke and hes woke now

(mf doom voice) he threw a sandwich cheese and salami, feds couldn't indict folded like origami, afraid of subway both the chain and the train, mayo salt and pepper shake your thang, grand jury shut em down twice, coca cola on the side no ice

Your honor, if the court forces me to repay the victims of my ponzi scheme I will literally scream.

My only good Snatch Game idea would be J.D. Vance via Evita Perón, helping the descamisados by taking away their healthcare and having an affair with Peter Thiel.

A year ago, I heard that Oklahoma City had approved a plan to build Legends Tower, the tallest skyscraper in the entire Western hemisphere. Why were we building the Tower of Babel in the Heartland? I decided to investigate. This essay is the result. (gift link) thepickup.com/whats-so-wro...

Why do I still mask on planes? So I can put secret grapes in that sucker and have what I call “horse moments”

Feeling ground down by the fascism, sure, but also by the bombardment of tendentious propaganda. Jeans for white titties. The "performative male" thing, a clear psyop by the laziest intern at the Heritage Foundation. In 7 months the only acceptable attire will be a t-shirt with a big handgun on it.

I do this but for manic reasons :)

I agree with Bluesky’s decision because the law is insane, but we need to find a way to help these guys out. They do great work.
