Now who the hell are these federal pricks Hiding in the senate like a bloated ass tick Air conditioned Fuckstick loafers Sitting in a room full of army posters TOM WAITS

I married into a family with a conservative Catholic wing (a couple of these people worked at the Heritage Foundation) and I am dyyyyyying to know what they think of all this

I work in an ancient house converted to office space and every few weeks a smoke alarm starts chirping and it's never a quick fix The last one was in the (locked) attic. This one's stuck tight on a water-damaged ceiling that is bending when we try to pry it off. Working in higher ed is

Bring me the blue pages

In 2010 I went to a surprise party that began with an hour-long special on Four Lokos. Within three hours the birthday boy had gotten in a fistfight with his friends outside the bar. The night ended with a party guest throwing up purple in his hand while sitting in the birthday boy's recliner.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Exactly — when you've been committing regular crimes your whole life and never experiencing consequences, why expect to experience any for war crimes?

Representative Mackenzie's office, which (at least) always answers the phone: "The representative hasn't issued a statement on this matter at this time." Yeah, I see that, thank you. I think we need more than a statement, guys.

it's really so beside the point by now, but i cannot believe people gave this psychotic motherfucker a second chance.

As someone who used to work for the international arm of a publishing house, trying to keep partner publications "on brand" and following standards of journalism across very different countries... ...I'm really glad I don't have that job in the AI era

Brought this into the office to keep it away from the kids and see if anyone else wanted to read it when I was done. Folks were delighted to discover there's a print edition!

I’ve watched this four times and will not be stopping anytime soon

“We’re in this is a stage of pre-middle-age, we can still feel cute and relevant, we’re not old yet,” Zulkey said. “I don’t know what old is, but we’re not there yet! But we’re also not young! What to do with this?” RELATABLE

"What is a TikTok video if not a digital Dorito?"

“After major breakthroughs in obtaining the penises of a manatee, an armadillo, and a pygmy jerboa, I’m pleased to announce that my experimental anticancer elixir is mere weeks away from completion,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

patiently explaining to national political reporters that the people who organize No Kings are also doing the daily advocacy, voter registration, mutual aid, and immigrant defense, and that just because the cameras show up for the big crowd does not mean that work did not exist before and after

Few hundred people in Bethlehem Township, PA, for the first of at least three #NoKings protests held in the Lehigh Valley today.

The top fear about EVs in my unscientific assessment (people reacting to the fact that I drive an EV) is, "Well, how do you charge it? Have you taken it on road trips?" Yes, those require more planning. Yes, charging took a little while to figure out. But we're all smart people! We can do this!

omg don't call me send me an email unless it is an emergency do not call me ever the end —me, every time my work phone rings

Holy shit www.wsj.com/tech/meta-an...

How could plants grow in your stomach where there is no sunlight and everything is acid? Kindergarteners would even know this is not a thing

Got this in the mail yesterday and my second grader has never wanted to read anything more (sorry, kid, but no — too many terms I don't want to try to explain, such as "glory hole")

This is heartbreaking, idiotic, a waste of my taxpayer dollars, not what anyone wants (except fossil fuel executives)

Everything I do is a ChatGPT marker (never met an em-dash I didn't love) because ChatGPT trained on human writing, including my own

Can't stop thinking of the first two lines of this @timothysnyder.bsky.social post. Just replace "the war on Iran" with "using unqualified goons to keep our airports secure"

Strongly endorse the "sign off more of the time and read books instead" strategy

If you, like me, were wondering what you were missing ... this is a great explainer.

Top o' the morning to you! ☘️ Your annual reminder:

The Cider Mill, which still has the best cider I have ever tasted (despite having seen the barf-looking "pomace" coming out of the tube in real life on said field trip) youtu.be/m_IGIRob-NI?...

we're been waiting and waiting for an electric minivan and looks like it has arrived. For a small fortune, I'm sure

Before AI, it seemed like many folks (especially on Facebook!) simply didn't care what was true online. But not caring to verify before sharing is a very different problem than not being *able* to verify before sharing, and we can't information-literacy ourselves out of this new problem.

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens. snyder.substack.com/p/the-desire...

Vintage college newspaper page I found while researching a story. Yes, the editor at this time was a guy.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.) This is an atrocity.

The only person I know in real life to be concerned about seed oils also drinks raw milk so this really resonates

On Saturday we spent the day repeatedly telling our kids not to solve problems with threats or violence and that night we took them to a minor league hockey game. The irony of it all

A conversation between Harry Styles and ... Haruki Murakami .....huh?? (Impressive get for RW all around, just ... wasn't expecting to see this)

"Laiss admitted to voting twice, but said he did so because he wanted to make sure his vote counted, court documents state. He claimed it was a mistake." 🤔

Somebody needs to give People Magazine an award for how they've been covering this presidency. Like, who'd have thunk they'd be the ones with the headlines that most accurately reflect reality?

What about the ones who consult Claude repeatedly throughout a project because they think that will help it be absolutely perfect and optimized and as a result the project never gets done Claudehoppers?

Sidebar: this is further proof of how women can't win. I remember all the hate for unwed mothers, the sideshow nature of Teen Mom and how teen pregnancy was a sign of moral decay and trashiness and now it's like HOW DARE THEY NOT MAKE BABIES AT THEIR SEXUAL PEAK incel bullshit. It's all misogyny.

I am having a painful Lady Problem (™️) and the treatments are: - estrogen stuff I can't take because I've had migraines with aura and they could give me a stroke, and - an injection that was recently given an FDA warning because it increases the risk of brain tumors

AP's been my go-to, but I'm looking for a new main source of news now for obvious reasons ... any recommendations?

If you've ever been near the back of a race and heard a bunch of run-walk beepers going off, you have Jeff Galloway to thank. Really nice guy who made the sport so much more accessible. I was so sad to hear this news.

The only good news I've seen today 🥳https://www.artsquest.org/event/an-evening-with-wilco/

It was a good year to finally read "1984" all the way through I guess

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
