Also just remember after JFK's preemie son died, there was a huge push in technology to help those babies survive Baby Patrick was born 5 or 6 weeks early. These days, many babies born that early survive with few issues

I wish more people would apply this analysis before flash judging the behavior of people who are struggling

some real “do i have to do everything myself” energy from ohtani lol

As a cis woman, I have no problem with trans women using the same bathroom as me. I don't even think about it, ever, because I'm not a creep who's obsessed with other people's genitals.

Just a reminder, if you too are not too keen on the upcoming Odyssey film, you could always watch this film (again) that's, sort of, based on the same story, but is actually pretty fun ;) youtu.be/sRnxr4XF9yA?...

So to recap, students weren’t enrolling in the “center for intellectual freedom” classes (they were free to do so) so now the legislature wants to force students to take them. Irony is dead, bludgeoned d to death by the worst ignoramuses. Too bad students won’t learn about it in those “classes”.

Dear friends who told me in 2016 that everything would be fine whatever happened, fuck you sincerely.

I am not remotely a lawyer, but I think if you agree to review a manuscript for a press and then feed that manuscript into AI without the permission of the author, the author should be allowed to sue you into poverty.

One thing that gets missed in President Trump's discussion of "weaponization" and his tax returns: The person who leaked Trump's tax returns did so when Trump was president and in charge of the IRS. He was indicted and sent to prison for that during the Biden administration.

We really hope no one sees our definition of 'Streisand effect.'

Good. I grew up in a family of responsible gamblers and casino workers and I’m here to remind you that prediction markets are evil becaue 1. They frame themselves as investment, not gambling. This is a giant lie. 2. When you can bet on everything, more people are inclined to bet everything

Barney Frank passed and in the process he's taught an incredibly good lesson: First impressions matter, but not as much as last impressions. He was a gay icon who used his last impression to argue that trans people should settle for less and wait their turn. That was his coda on a life of service.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

a funny thing about the US coal industry is that O'Reilly Auto Parts, a company that is *never* mentioned in national political discourse, employs more people than the ENTIRE US coal industry

What an absolute fucking nightmare

Massie voted straight GOP the vast majority of the time. His only real break with Trump was over the Epstein files. Kentucky voters rejected the guy who wanted to expose the truth about a sex offender because Trump told them to. Think about what that means.

there is an entire population out there who believes that everything they see online is addressed directly to them and must be replied to. these are the people who read "What did you think of this product?" on amazon and leave a 1* review going "I didn't buy it I clicked the link by mistake."

Little too on the nose.

www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u... "The Wall Street Journal said on Monday that it had received subpoenas for the records of its reporters, an exceedingly rare move by federal prosecutors that prompted concerns" PROMPTED CONCERNS wtf

To whoever DMed me at some point recently: I am currently in Ohio, where age-verification laws mean that, in order to access my DMs, I’d have to give Bluesky all kinds of creepy personal info that I am absolutely not willing to share. So, uh…I hope it wasn’t important? But if it was, let me know.

…of course. #LOLMets

why would anyone ever pay taxes again if they're immune from audits?

I own two of the top left one (“queer but not into bright colors”)—one black, one heathered charcoal—and they are among my favorite tees! They are so soft & comfy, and they describe me perfectly! (FWIW, I definitely like the charcoal one more, but that’s a rec for it, not a rec against the other.)

Musk v Altman JUDGE: The jury has sent a question and the answer is no, the death penalty is not "available for both sides" please return to the jury room and limit your consideration to civil damages.

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

Andrew Paul Johnson was arraigned in a Florida court in October on multiple charges, including molesting a child as young as 11 years old. Johnson dangled the prospect that one of the children could receive money bc...he was entitled to $10 million as part of reparations for his January 6 arrest.

With permission from one of my habeas clients, I can share that the Bloomington Police Department is proactively cooperating with ICE to detain our neighbors. This is a screenshot of official ICE records which show that a BPD officer reached out to ICE to drop a dime on someone in local custody.

wouldn't be the first time he's done grievous harm to the public to avoid personal embarrassment, wouldn't be the last, as long as he's allowed to stay in power

bhattacharya's entire grift centered around being anti-quarantine/voluntary stay at home orders, so he has significant financial conflicts of interest here. wouldn't be surprised if he tries to fully ignore this.

"Federal health officials did not respond to requests for comment... The mandatory quarantine... was authorized by Jay Bhattacharya" 1) radio silence from HHS here is unacceptable. 2) there's a very high legal bar for mandatory quarantine. i really doubt this meets it, but will await more info

i saw a video that absolutely HAD to be fake showing a hack for peeling garlic where you just put the cloves in a jar and shake it really hard and then they peel themselves? but i tried it and it’s real and now there’s nothing stopping me from putting three full heads of garlic in every recipe.

Mike Collins is running for Senate on a promise to make roads safer — by taking commercial driver’s licenses away from noncitizens. Our analysis shows his business has a higher rate of unsafe driving and speeding violations per mile than the majority of trucking companies with substantial mileage.

if Rob Manfred hadn't fucked up the rules, that 10-run outburst in extras would have happened in the 17th inning at 1:30 am local time as god intended

I toldyu it waznot my fawlt!

If Democrats had the political instincts and media machine Republicans do, in 48 hours 95% of Americans would know Andrew Paul Johnson's name and be LIVID that the government is getting ready to give him some of your tax money

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

From earlier this evening: today’s moment of Nope™️

He reads the silly post He reads the scoldy post He reads the jokey post And the pedantic post He reads the posts that remind him of the bad site He reads the posts that remind him of the worst site Don’t screenshot that, troll behavior

We have a Uniclone Score! The Mets have posted their second-ever 16-7 victory, cloning their 16-7 Unicorn Score win over Philadelphia from 2015. #LGM

@SNY_Mets tweeted The Mets are the first National League team to score 10 runs in an extra inning since the Cincinnati Reds did back on May 15, 1919 against the Brooklyn Robins https://t.co/QdP2g2ZiE6

*Casey Kasem voice* And once again the hit song "You coulda spent that AI money on staff" tops the charts.

New statement from San Diego Comic Con on the Eisner-nominated anthology using AI:

In November I broke this story about Andrew Paul Johnson, a pardoned J6er who molested children and used the promise of reparations to bribe his victims silence.

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real
