There is little in life that produces as much sheer, untramelled joy as the poetry of William Topaz McGonagall "All ye tourists who wish to be away From the crowded city for a brief holiday; The town of Nairn is worth a visit, I do confess, And it's only about fifteen miles from Inverness."

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

Tony Robinson was great! 😁

SpaceX shifts focus from something that it will never do on Mars to something it will never do on the Moon.

Brett Ratner, the sex pest who came out of retirement to direct the Melania movie that Jeff Bezos spent $75 million on as thousands of people at Amazon and the Washington Post lost their jobs, helped produce an ad in which rapist Mike Tyson spewed fatphobic dreck for Secretary Bear Carcass

Having a crappy day. Desmond Doom makes it bearable.

The dumbest people on earth love this stuff and the most evil people on earth promote this stuff, so

SUPERB OWL!

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

We are so cold🥶💔 We are so cold🥶💔 We are so cold🥶💔 We are so cold🥶💔 In Gaza, my children are facing days no child should endure.💔🙏 Cold nights, fear, and the struggle to survive 🥶💔 As a father, I’m trying my best—please help keep my children safe Verified: Molly Shah ✅ chuffed.org/project/1565...

I like how the Lord of the Rings ends with everyone just fucking off and sailing away to a place where this bullshit doesn’t happen

I cannot stress this enough: court case after court case has ruled that AI does not count as an author when it comes to copyright. Any minute now an AI bot is gonna start reskinning and reselling AI slop and the "authors" will have zero legal recourse because they didn't actually author shit.

Guys, guys—I found a Superb Owl that is also a Super Bowl!!!

The Onion’s Exclusive Interview With Bad Bunny https://theonion.com/the-onions-exclusive-interview-with-bad-bunny/

Sure this can happen in the bisexual socialist paradise of Iberville Parish Louisiana but what about Real America?

the most impactful thing Elon Musk has ever done or will ever do regarding science and innovation in this country is illegally cut billions of dollars of research funds for literally no reason

Interesting. One of todays crate finds. A 1988 Russian pressing of Play with Fire…..😳 #vinyl #rollingstones

Trump regime’s latest effort to whitewash history and control narrative: all State department posts on X made before Trump took office in 2025 will be removed. That includes accounts for US embassies, missions, ambassadors, department bureaus, programs. www.npr.org/2026/02/07/n...

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Worth noting that this response actually concedes that what Pritzker said is true.

/3 Bad Bunny is an American citizen, but he could have been born on Plymouth Fucking Rock and he would still fall on the “immigrant” side of the “immigration divide” to Trump and his WaPo toadies.

HOW TO TAKE MUSHROOMS FOR THE FIRST TIME * Enter grocery store * Check for employees and/or cameras * Surreptitiously fill pockets with mushrooms * Calmly but swiftly walk out without paying

Everyone is shitting on the Post for implying that Bad Bunny, from Puerto Rico, is a “immigrant,” not an American citizen. But WaPo is actually being honest about the Trumpist immigration agenda, for which dutifully if dully supports. The Trumpist agenda is white nationalist. /1

Work on the Lego Gaunt's Ghosts display board continues...

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it. What? x.com/sethharpesq/...

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Dems should be explicit that when they retake Congress and the White House they will be stripping his name off of everything. The ego damage would be significant

as a proud graduate of Princeton Law, I am so glad that our law review is publishing this provocative yet indispensable scholarship

embarrass the administration and they will do everything in their power to ruin your life, even if the embarrassment is the result of their own cruel overreach vicious sadistic bullies all the way down

Finished Act One (first 26 pages) of the preteen kung fu script today. The first 3 comics. 1) The Mudhen 2) Lickety Split, and 3) Pickles & Peppers.

Is this good chat

All these men driving women out of their fields with giggly idiot grabassery and then bloviating to the public about how the lack of women is proof of male intellectual superiority... I hate them all. I hate them so much.

The Trump admin has shut down the CIA’s World Factbook, a country reference that for six decades has provided data on birth and death rates, major exports, and more. Long used by government officials and by researchers, educators, and journalists, the database was taken offline today.

This "Ski Jumpers using penis enlargements to change their aerodynamics" claim is simply MADE for the Mythbusters. Imagine watching Buster attached to a pair of skis sliding down a giant ramp with various sized genitals in glorious high speed!

We will not be intimidated into staying home. We will keep the late John Lewis in our hearts as we head to the polls to drive the likes of these ghouls out of power and out of office.

BREAKING: Over 680 members of the National Academy of Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering have endorsed articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. (1/2 🧵)

Vive la France!

Same-sex marriage is under attack again. The Christian nationalist right has launched a new campaign, and, unsurprisingly, it’s using children’s safety as a pretext to roll back equality.

very weird “I am Spartacus” thing happening right now with the worst people on earth

Liberty Prime Alpha eh? So is that a demo version, an enhanced version, or the full name of the original? 🤔 🤖💪💣💥
