Minka’s Evening Report: Mom was putting my harness on me & I did a little dance; my right foot didn’t go through its opening. She didn’t notice until we were almost done with our walk when I spied neighbor Davina. I started to run to her and slipped out of my harness! I was so tricky! Later, frens!

An opinion with a ruling would be nice. I get that they may have Nats tickets, but Supreme Courting is their job.

The Mortal Error version of the JFK assassination. Secret service guy reaches for weapon to respond to shots from Oswald, accidental discharge, kills the president. I don’t believe in pre planned conspiracy in general. I absolutely do believe in fuck ups and coverups

parts of this book are way too aware of postpartum depression and women’s interior lives for this not to be somewhat true

The fourth plane on 9/11 was shot down by the air force and they made up the story about how the people on the plane fought back heroically but the plane crashed... In quite possibly the SAFEST place it could have been shot down with the least loss of life.

Top officials in the Confederacy, including Jefferson Davis, conspired to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, then successfully covered their tracks after the war with the cooperation of Andrew Johnson.

Disney is very strategic in how much they do with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit largely because learning too much about Oswald leads to you learning that Walt Disney was an asshole who lied about everything and their brand needs people to think Walt Disney was a good and creative person

The cabbage farmer found the treasure on Oak Island.

That one gas station in every town that’s always 20 to 30 cents higher than everywhere else is definitely a front. For the same crime ring

Perhaps the most impactful and unreported scandals that Enron had was all of the green (or hyper-efficient) energy patents that they quietly scooped up and are currently sitting in a vault somewhere. Brilliant innovations lost to the ages, protecting fossil fuels.

Hillary won her election. Kamala won her election. GOP changed voting totals in key states. Also, I believe Anita Hill.

The Knights templar found some christian artifact in jerusalem so important that the Secular authorities decided to get rid of them to quash it.

We exist in this universe so that our counterparts can have nice lives in the other one.

Blue cheese is an elaborate prank the French are playing on us.

Ivana Trump didn't die from "falling" down the stairs.

Fossil fuels started paying conservative media and faith leaders to say God hates gays in the 80s/90s so they could continue pillaging the planet long after the weather started getting noticeably dangerous to life on Earth. The bigotry ecosystem rests on emotionally crippling men for fun and profit.

The belated assignment of red to the GOP (vs blue for dems) is a broad wink to the fact that the Russian influence op to subvert the republican party into a tool to destroy American has been ongoing since long before the collapse of the Soviet Union

I believe laundromats have the dryers rigged so that you have to keep feeding the dryers quarters if you want your clothes completely dry. Doesn't matter the setting, doesn't matter how many dryers you use--you will have to add time to them, because the clothes are still damp.

That shot at the tip of the ear, doing minimal damage to any of the surrounding tissue.

elon Musk did sex selection on IVF to have matching bodies to transfer his consciousness to web technology becomes available.

The outbreak of teens experiencing vaporizer related lung damage (VAPI) in the second half of 2019 was actually COVID. All of the first cases were centered around Fort Dietrich which is known for biological weapon research.

2 things I believe 100% w/o proof: Russia canceled plans to conspire directly w/trumps on election propaganda after meeting them and seeing how stupid they really are. Youtube forces overprocessing on shorts to ruin our expectation of realism and blur the line between real & AI videos.

Mattress stores are fronts for organized crime. There are not enough humans to need the number of mattress stores around, even factoring in bed-wetters.

also: the NFL was involved in Pat Tillman’s death. maybe not directly causing it, but definitely the burning of his journal that contained all of his anti-war thoughts so they could maintain their image as the TROOPS TROOPS TROOPS WE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE TROOPS league

More RECKLESS, brutal inanity from Trump & Russ Vought: OPM is moving to require every insurer in the Federal Employee and USPS Health Benefits programs to every month provide everyone's _identifiable_ health data, incl doctor visits, prescriptions, and treatments. 👎🏻 www.govexec.com/pay-benefits...

In today's roundup, we have three "actual good news" items, which may be a record. (Don't ask how many not-good items there are.)

The 65-year-old Cook will turn over CEO duties to Apple's head of hardware products, John Ternus, in September. Cook will remain with the company as executive chairman.

The thing that surprises me the most is that they actually approved a brain scan and didn’t just gaslight her that it’s all in her head until she died.

I get to write about some pretty unusual medical case reports for @livescience.com, and this one was a doozy. A woman in the UK suddenly started hearing voices urging her to get medical attention for a brain tumor, despite having no symptoms or prior diagnosis. The "voices" turned out to be right 🧪

Me: look, it’s very important to understand racism as a social structure, focusing on individuals as “racists” is counterproductive Rep. Brandon Gill: hold my beer

Magnificent

Plenty of criticism on the right of the #SCOTUS leaker and the Times’s reporting, but has anyone actually responded to the argument that Roberts’s assessment of “irreparable harm” and his refusal to balance the equities is completely inconsistent with his subsequent behavior in all the Trump cases?

Okay, so y'know how the NFL acts like it's America's sports institution and like it's the be-all end-all of televised American competition? Baseball used to hold that line, with gusto, riiiight up until the summer of 1994...

It's official: The House has sworn in Democratic Rep. Analilia Mejia.

omg

Except the head dude. He gets a pass.

Trump ordered Texas to redraw its maps mid-cycle — not because the census required it, but because they know they can't win a fair fight in 2026. Virginia votes tomorrow. Matching the GOP isn't enough — open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

-The reprehensible Bondi, Chavez-DeRemer, and Noem are gone. -The reprehensible Hegseth, Patel, and RFK Jr. stay. -Women were always gonna be the first to get slapped around by the abusive convicted felon.

What can we learn from Peter Magyar’s stunning win over Viktor Orbán & deploy here in the US? Prof. @kimlanelaw.bsky.social joins me for an incredibly fascinating conversation about how Magyar secured his victory & what’s next for Hungary. This is a must-watch episode! youtu.be/kpOxCH6npws?...

A Trump Pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell? HELL NO! youtu.be/3NZ620MV4xs?...

It seemed like they were a lifetime apart when we were teens back in the 90s and the 70s were having a revival 🥹

From the first time I heard Sherrod Brown speak, I knew he was a man of the people. Let's get him back in the U.S. Senate, where he will fight for worker dignity, access to quality healthcare, and a stronger economy that works for everyday Ohioans. Elect Sherrod Brown U.S. Senate, Ohio

I'm all for being a fan of things, but if you feel like you have to literally fight everyone to claim that's the case, you might need to take a step back and...I dunno...get a little perspective?
