Followup: I was leaning over the biggest raised bed to plant the sunchokes I got today & heard a tiny scream from the long grass the mower missed. It was a baby bunny & I may or may not have come very close to squishing it. But I checked it over & it seemed ok, so I released it to go hide again.

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

2012 Billionaires: You can't tax us because we're job creators! You like jobs, don't you? We create those! 2026 Billionaires: We're giving your jobs to A.I. because jobs are icky! We hate them, right guys?! And since we got rid of all those gross jobs, why not stop taxing us as a reward?

Ok imagine this: mechas BUT Nothing fucked up is happening inside of the cockpit. Yeah just normal guy inside piloting the thing. There's not even a war or anything going on outside either. It's all advanced forklift techniques.

Why do my dogs look like they belong to old money and spend weekends at the lake retrieving mallards.

Trying to imagine the logistics of giving Tehran an expansion team

[my coffin lowering into the grave] wait guys shouldn’t I be dead [coffin starts lowering faster]

Highly recommend my colleague Jim Pope's "Snubbed Landmark: Why United States v. Cruikshank (1876) Belongs at the Heart of the American Constitutional Canon" on the legal aspects of this campaign scholarship.libraries.rutgers.edu/esploro/outp...

ranked choice voting no reason not to shoot your shot and put someone you might actually like and respect in the #1 slot, instead of a shit candidate who got the most media attention

Adrian Tchaikovsky ( @aptshadow.bsky.social ) is rapidly approaching Stephen King status with me… as in, I’ve read every book they’ve written, and buy new ones the day they come out! Absolutely one of the best in sci-fi! #BookSky #SciFi

It’s like the whole accusation that climate or vaccine or *any* scientists are “in it for the money.” They literally cannot conceive of another motive. Maybe that person just really likes curing pancreatic cancer. Get the fuck out of their way.

Me to my lawyer: No, to make me write 50 pages of television they need to pay me twice that much. Me to my D&D group: As you can see, I’ve updated the 200 page session recap document and banged out updated bios of the NPC list.

"Meetings are held, emails are sent, phone calls are made, and something like 520,000 children die of malnutrition, diarrhea, tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV." prospect.org/2026/05/22/w...

i'm a stomach sleeper and like hanging my toes over the end of the bed but i have cats so you can see my dilemma

I heard the sound of horny tortoises for the 1st time while shooting a video for @amnh.org (YOU try getting usable audio from a herpetologist when tortoises in the next room are moaning at full volume) & years later Game of Thrones used tortoise sex moans to give dragons their voices #WorldTurtleDay

a fairy and a dragon #mermay

It's ridiculous snd grotesque but its true.

I find myself mumbling “what’s up, it trane” to myself and giggling far too often

And if the people who want to go back to normal get what they want it will happen again just like it did last time we went back to normal.

The Marketplace of Ideas people immediately forcefully shut down all dissent, bought all media, sued & fired all critics & arrested & caged journalists reporting on their heinousness as soon as they got control & all of this was entirely predictable & people who warned of it were called overreactors

Vote for me. My platform is that I will launch Elon Musk into the sun. It will be on a SpaceX rocket so destination is kind of moot, but still.

We have records of diabetes diagnoses going back 2,500 years. We only developed a reliable treatment (insulin) 100 years ago. Now we might have a cure. What an amazing thing to get to witness.

The National Academies literally exist so that scientists and engineers who understand science and engineering better than elected officials & their appointees do are available to report on those things. Yet again, USA: Require that Congress do its job, end all of this, and #ImpeachTrump.

This is making me lose my mind. Are these people so divorced from their own imagination that they can’t even understand that artists are intentionally not depicting reality?

There’s something about this, looking at Trump’s sneer that now no one is watching Colbert, the realization that there are a lot of people in power who don’t understand the pleasure of doing something because it’s something you enjoy doing and do well, as opposed to getting more power.

This was probably better than the actual 500 will be.

hazard pay for our beaver comrades or we're striking

“The Trump administration on Friday narrowed the definition of an “assistance animal” allowed to live with disabled tenants in housing, a move that could lead to thousands of animals and their owners being evicted”

I just talked to a Congolese doctor who is treating Ebola patients in Bunia, the epicenter of the outbreak. Story to come, but he's very worried that the international response doesn't look anything like it used to.

As much as the administration tries, it can't delete what happened on J6. The archive lives in court records, in the J6 Committee Report, in guerrilla archiving efforts www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is a shame bc the dissolution of category error is a primary site of strangeness and poetry! McCarthy describing a night as autistic, Denis Johnson “his face was shining and suffering”, etc

Robot legs are here and they aren’t going anywhere. [booing begins] Whether you like it or not we are going to cut off all of your legs and arms [booing intensifies] and heads and replace them all with robot legs and only robot legs [shouting over boos] well I can see you aren’t ready for the future

Horrifying instance of where “slashing the bureaucracy” in favor of impersonal robots can lead. These handwritten responses are from an inmate featured in the article, whose parole was suddenly canceled by this impersonal algorithm.

why don’t ya make like a perspective drawing and vanish at some point?

We have *never* before seen consumer sentiment this low.

The most elitist person you know: I am a simple man of the people. My gustatory experiences are quotidian.

The Santa Clara DA’s recusal from the trial of several Stanford student and alumni protesters is unusual, a former federal prosecutor says. “A decision to recuse a DA’s office is rare, and there’s a high standard that needs to be met.”

Been thinking about this Tweet a lot lately...

foreigner who encouraged people to vote for trump complains about potential foreign influence after his tweet about how anti-immigration policies negatively impact him, drawing hundreds of libs, leftists, and conservatives to mock him.

U.S. House Republicans on Thursday denounced expanding the Supreme Court, an idea some Democrats support to dilute the court’s conservative majority after years of decisions that have angered liberals.

"A.i." sucks.

The entire history of the conservative movement is rich white people watching democracy in action and the culture moving forward and being like “that’s not fair.”

There are a hundred "Is Mamdani Being Insensitive to Jews By Acknowledging that Palestinians Are Human?" stories in outlets like the NY Times, meanwhile multiple Republican politicians LITERALLY say that all Muslims are terrorists who should be expelled from the U.S. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/n...

Missouri Republicans are organizing a referendum that would make citizen initiatives basically impossible to pass: boltsmag.org/missouri-ame... They’ve decided to schedule it for August, not November: missouriindependent.com/2026/05/22/m...
