Isn’t anyone suspicious of the fact that we haven’t figured out if they’re giants yet? Might be? It’s been decades! Someone needs to do the research. This is what science funding is for.

Southern states' white leaders are getting straight to work on Jim Crow maps. And that's what this is.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

I keep imagining the Mr. Beast response having a picture of him doing the deeply unsettling not a smile smile he does as the cover on the filing.

@davidjroth.bsky.social this is the absolute peak of male breathing. you can only achieve this level of breathing through 70 years of intense focus, eating various rare animal glands, and replacing your sinus cavity with the carburetor of a 1985 Chrysler LeBaron.

Executives will gabble on about AI automation instead of hiring the one (1!) project manager they need to solve their problems.

yeah it is critical that dems win the senate

I am obsessed with this clip and have watched it multiple times

Marathon's the one place you should have an advantage over Iran!

Brutal.

parenthood will have you seriously considering driving 200 miles at bedtime to retrieve a single stuffed raccoon your daughter forgot at grandma’s house

If you work for a Detroit sports franchise, do not, under any circumstances, appear to be positive about the Trump admin.* I’m not even talking about political endorsement. Referencing the Trump admin is a sports curse. *Appearing at the White House after a championship does not appear to count.

i just think Watering Flowers While Black should not be an arrestable offense nor do i think this should be controversial ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

At some point in a Trek writers room, someone has tried to sneak flibbertigibbet into discussion of alien anatomy, right? “His fibbertigibbet is failing, we need to resequence his nucleotides and give him a massive dose of cellular peptides!”

When you have senior white male military officers willing to end their career by raising concerns about the blocking of Black and female officers, it feels safe to say this isn't about ending DEI: the better historical parallel is Wilson's resegregation of the bureaucracy bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

The audacity of of this fucker…

Saying Bondi is going to rejoin the private sector and giving no more specifics is like saying she’s going to live on a farm up-state where there will be lots of room for her to run around.

Her digital presence will be torn apart by wolves (also digital)

I think that if you’re going to play the bullshit “Tilly has enough agency and sentience to be grateful for the support of her fans” card, then you should have to go all in and say “We’ve decided to murder Tilly.”

I have nothing really to add to this, but “face god and walk backwards into hell” is so good. Every time I think about it, I have a hard time believing it’s not from Paradise Lost or something, and is in fact about hollering at animals.

Reminder to next dem government: take all of SpaceX’s federal contracts and give the money back to NASA.

If Trump does attend oral arguments, what are the odds he can keep himself from interrupting?

Gonna invent a time machine and start making changes. You’ll know I’ve succeeded when everyone starts pronouncing piano “pie-AN-oh” as the default.

Wings look to be crashing out of the playoff picture again and I, personally, blame it on Larkin partying with Kash.

21 seasons of Taskmaster seems like a lot but it's not nearly enough

On a walk. It’s 71° here in St. Paul and everyone is out to enjoy it. Just went by a park and all the little kids playing on the playground was genuinely life affirming.

Reifications of the Goddess and Lamentations of the Earth: Beverly Crusher’s Lantern and the problem of Guilt of the Colonizer

Come to @greatesttrek.com for the thoughtful discussion of Trek episodes. Stay for… Kirk fighting Gorns with a gun that fires his own dick (complementary) overcast.fm/+AAfSh5fL6ZQ...

They’re trying for Dem Elect: TNG but what we need is Dem Elect: DS9

Not sure how many times I’ve listened to Cobra by Geese, a finalist in the “best 60s/70s Stones track not actually written by the Stones or in the 20th century” competition

I wish I weren’t so regularly embarrassed by the reps from my home state. My dad (originally and proudly Canadian) finally went and got naturalized just to vote in Michigan elections and this is the kind of loose stool you reward him with.

Aquaman ain’t coming out of Lake Superior to attack you, come off it.

Incredible use of ellipses here.

Mary Fong Lau, the 80 year old woman who killed four people including a baby and a toddler after crashing into a bus stop going 75mph the wrong way down a 25mph street, has been sentenced to probation and will not permanently lose her drivers' license. This is a despicable miscarriage of justice.

They never should have let Lyle direct

Trump responds to rumors that he’s keistering the troops.

Glassman and Hassett should consider a rerelease of Dow 36,000.

Outrageous. Stripping Liam Conejo Ramos and his family of asylum is beyond cruel and indefensible. This decision must be overturned. Shame.

Man, I do not come on here to have a following, or a brand, or any of that shit. But sometimes I see people here who’ve clearly breaded and fried their brain on the internet and are serving the drippings to 5k of followers and I just wonder what we’re all doing here. What even is the internet now?

when you frame taxation as Taking Your Own Goddam Money Away you are reinforcing the right’s message that you are a sucker, a patsy, if you believe in civil society

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Speaking as a Jew living in Diaspora, who needs to exist as a minority at a time of rising antisemitism, I would really appreciate it if the Prime Minister of a country where I do not live would not say that attacks on a sovereign country are analogous to attacks on a synagogue.

A great recap of how "smirking little shit" tech bros destroyed the National Endowment for the Humanities, by @lizdye.bsky.social www.lawandchaospod.com/p/doge-bros-...

Tap into the nations Strategic Sick Guitar Lick Reserve. We’re gonna need a soundtrack to get this done.

Google: you may be pissed off by the terrible AI answers on our search engine but wait wait, our email solution’s spam filter is also gonna start sucking as a special benefit to you!

Yes, a war of choice. But also, a recession of choice.

It’s incredible that the same people who made up new rules of decorum for Obama just accept that Trump can’t remove his hat in the situations that have always called for a gentleman to do so because conditions are not just right for that fragile puff of spider silk and hair spray.

Yeah if someone thinks it's not okay to work at Lockheed Martin but wants to vote for Oysters McTotenkopf then I feel like I know a lot about them.

I can’t be the only person watching Starfleet Academy who has a little voice in his head every time they say “Venari Ral” that says “venereal.” The SFA writers did this intentionally, right?

Let's talk about this! 1) one of the costs of several wars was that the French basically bankrupted themselves to support the American Revolution. 2) agreed about the tax system and inequality. but that doesn't tell the whole picture that this kinda poists as a history lesson! So ...
