You can’t fool me, those are Jonny Quest’s dads

Repost this everywhere you’re active on social media. Send to your friends and family who aren’t.

Just had an argument with someone who is disappointed that Kim Davis' attempt to overturn marriage equality failed because they wanted people like me to lose our marriages in order to galvanize "a more radical queer movement." Oh, and because gay marriage is just "capitalist fascism," or something.

I need Hakeem Jefferies to sharpen his elbows into icepicks

One the best descriptions of the current political landscape that I've read anywhere. “I don’t give a f‑‑‑ about any of our political figures right now, and it’s like to fight in front of them seems like some f‑‑‑ing ‘Hunger Games’ type of f‑‑‑ing s‑‑‑" www.si.com/fannation/mm...

I have those editions of Kadath and Sarnath right here in my bedside bookshelf. I don’t know how I got it, but I had a poster version of the Sarnath cover when I was a kid & it was on my wall for years & I’m pretty sure it turned me into what I am today, whatever *that* is. wish I still had it.

100% this. The use of the word "biological" here is disingenuous. Until the current moral panic, sex assigned at birth (for that is what it is) was simply an annotation on a birth certificate. It has as much relevance to a trans person's adult physiology and health as their recorded birth weight.

Great thread, 100%

Or, on why genetics cannot explain away committing a world war and genocide 🧪

going to be on @meetthepress.com shortly if y’all want to tune in

Over the past few weeks, HiLoBrow has run installments of my long essay “Without Care,” which maps out a 21st century gothic that I started calling The Devoid. All four installments are now live and you can read the whole thing here; enjoy!

I like that Pope Bob wakes up every morning and asks himself how he can kick the American Vice President in the dick

Will always be grateful to OnSpec for publishing my first story!

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness. I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Big surprise. The corruption is baked in.

Oh this is so utterly fucking disgusting. “Lol we know how you like fucking kids, may I suggest reading Lolita”

This reminds me of a gag article in the Onion about Starbucks putting a Starbucks in the bathroom of a Starbucks

Autocannibalism!

When we next get a Democrat in the Oval Office, and I’m going to say it’ll be 2028, they should bring Jack Smith out of retirement and appoint him Attorney General with a brief to swiftly mete out justice.

First, the frogs died. Then people got sick. wapo.st/47Slsij

Couldn't happen to a nicer person. <Fe>

Musk broke laws. Vought broke laws. Every DOGE boy broke laws. RFK broke laws. Noem & Bondi & Hegseth & Rubio *all* broke laws. I suspect a bunch of US Senators and Congresspeople did insider trading, for all I know it was bipartisan. Every. Single. One. of them needs to have *real* consequences.

The only way we will win a better world is not only leftism for America, but internationalism. “Researchers who have anything to do with China should have their careers ended” is a bipartisan position, and it can’t be anymore. If we live in a fragmented world, it will burn in our lifetime

@gillyarcht.bsky.social a cunning plan

The one i would choose out of all @jwomack.bsky.social futures

Feathered dinosaurs

Man, I love when migrating ducks arrive in Central Park! I spotted this stunning Hooded Merganser lazily floating toward me on the Harlem Meer early this morning. Just incredible! ❤️🧡🖤 #Ducks #CentralPark #birding

It's ONLY been 65 years since six year old Ruby Bridges walked through the halls of William Frantz Elementary as the first Black child to attend an all white school. Met with mobs and hate, her bravery and courage helped change the course of history for this nation. (1/3)

No, it doesn’t!

Thanks for pointing this out! It boggles me that elders think that jacked-in teens are somehow tuning out. My boys are far, far more aware of everything that’s going on than I am. Because they’re jacked in. They’re amazingly efficient at processing information. And they’re curious, as all kids are.

MoMA. Shaped my world

Three kids who made good ❤️❤️❤️

I want to register a car in whatever state he’s eventually incarcerated so I can get license plates that potentially were made by him

So targeting a president & a bunch of senators who provoked a violent insurrection while the cameras rolled is bad, but targeting some unknown guy who happens to have brown skin is just fine. Did I get that right?

So they finally decided to just completely get rid of science.

Daw - look at her! I'm so proud of Katie Wilson and everyone else who wouldn't just let the local Dem establishment/machine automatically give Bruce Harrell a second term. The desire for someone else was palpable and Katie was brave enough to step forward in a strong and focused way. Thank you!

If you think this is badass, wait until we win. katforillinois.com/legal

good summary thread for the insane epstein/sulzberger/michael wolff connection

I’d like to know what Epstein is going on about here. I mean, it sounds like coked up blathering, but what’s he really going on about?

I have always been baffled by how the Roman Empire gets treated as some pinnacle of civilization rather than a disturbing and shameful chapter in human history. I at least see the appeal of the Roman Republic, even if I still rather dislike them, but wtf is even kinda redeeming abt the Empire?

Sabrina is ON the spider beat 🧪🕷️ 1: Biggest web found! Cave with more than 100,000 spiders in some sort of co-op housing, 2 species, one of which normally eats the other. But not in the dark cave. 2. The wee spiders using prey to make giant fake spider puppets to scare off predators. So metal.

Every single Democratic senator that votes to cave on this should be immediately ejected from the party, and the national party should immediately start running primary candidates in their districts. There is no bipartisanship possible with traitors and fascists. You either fight, or die.

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks. People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?

we need a department of kerning
