Caveats for DailyMail, but this is a little different than initial stories

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

interesting that both the nyt and chicago trib chose to run these the day after millions of people turned out to protest one particular side

Katy Perry Releases New Single About Superiority Of Canadian Manufacturing

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

I always wondered why France had so many heists but if you can still just put a ladder up to a window on the Louvre in the year 2025 and get away with a big bag full of priceless jewels I guess that solves the mystery

There will be much larger crowds at #nokings @indivisible.org events in big cities, but this is what interests me most: people turning out in small cities and rural, deep red places. Pictured here: Charleston WV, and Pikeville and Morehead in eastern KY, coal mining Appalachian communities.

If Gary Larson is back that means Bill Watterson is going to come back. Light is gonna reenter the world like when Gandalf showed up with new clothes.

I'm supposed to go to a White Lotus-themed party tomorrow. Question: is it ok if I just wear a Duke t-shirt and bring a pistol

It wouldn’t be the Lexington airport without running into your third grade teacher in the TSA line

This is how The Boston Globe chooses to frame the kidnapping of a local teenager.

I support everyone giving vast sums of money to Andrew Cuomo. It’s the “lighting a million quid on fire” art piece but this time performed by the worst people in the world.

This is stolen businesswoman valor

losing my mind at “paper-based”. Do you mean fucking paper

Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend. What we have is an appropriations king. Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

the year is 2030. a doctor solemnly informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people persuaded by celebrity marketing bought synthetic pubic hairs that were eventually consumed by fish that you ate

Remember the Year of the MOOC from a decade ago? The one where tech bros predicted the end of all but 3-4 universities because who needs campuses when everyone can just take MOOCs and learn everything? Hits a little different now after pandemic pedagogy, huh? The tech hype cycle is a helluva drug.

A few weeks ago, the IU Media School sent out a survey to alums to ask how we feel about the School. If you’re an alum, I highly recommend you fill it out and send it back.

tfw your 1,000-word tweets aren't working

Someone in the crowd: “Go Cubs!” Pope Leo XIV: “Han perdido! They lost!”

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat. But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

the subreddits for luxury watches are some of the darkest places on earth

of course, through the majesty of the law, alex jones has effectively stalled long enough to win anyway. the families who he tortured will end up with a small pile of ashes labeled "Infowars Inc" while Alex keeps doing his thing as Alex Jones Broadcasting, having had plenty of time to shift themoney

Wow. Trump's masked federal agents tear-gassed a crowd in Chicago and ended up gassing a bunch of local Chicago cops who were there to *deescalate tensions.* One local cop was captured on film washing out his eyes with a hose: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

True story: there is a photo of Joe B. Hall fishing in short shorts that I wanted to use for this but the internet refuses to find it for me Here’s a close second:

Now that we have enough video series where celebrities eat or cook or hang out in a kitchen, I will start one where I interview famous people while we hand wash a sink full of dishes

Again- swagless

It really feels like Sam Altman promised a lot of Very Serious Old People he was going to create capitalist blowjob jesus based off a tech demo, and now that the bottom’s falling out he’s throwing whatever he can think of at the wall to avoid getting disappeared because he wasted all their money.

I’m a subscriber to The Onion print edition and trust me, the ads alone are worth it

He really said "skill issue" at charlie's memorial

Truly a swagless movement

PHILOMENA CUNK: It was actually illegal in England for The Obese to be employed in the film business until 1983. Why do you think that was? JIMINY GLICK: [ignoring question, high pitched voice] Have you ever noticed how lesbians and British women dress the same? [sudden low pitch] Why is that?

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

caught my vampire neighbor creeping through my front door. he claims my saying “for sure dude, we should definitely hang out sometime” the other night counts as an invitation, but I disagree. we’re on hold with the etiquette hotline

It’s pronounced cyclist.
