big part of why the right insists everyone on the left is a paid agitator is because they themselves constantly put over paid agitators

Obviously those are surgical scrubs.

"ARE YOU THE BOY WHO MOWS MY LAWN?"

Sexual predators do not belong in any level of government. Period. Full stop. If they’re already in office, they should resign or be removed. If they’re running for office, they should end their campaigns and drop out. Some things really are that simple.

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

In the last few months I've seen at least four friends launch Substacks, and for the first few I gently suggested alternatives and was completely ignored. Not sure if I should keep doing that or if it's just seen as being a scold.

the passive voice store was visited by me and you were known by everybody there

Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

Orbán turns out to be more of a democrat than the U.S. president and a nontrivial number of GOP candidates.

the funny thing about sending jd vance out to do sensitive diplomatic negotiations is he has literally no experience. like, none whatsoever. he doesn't even have related experience in lawmaking or some executive role.

Just now realizing that we have utterly poisoned the well of the internet: even if LLMs and agentic “AI” ceased immediately and forever, their detritus has absolutely flooded our repository of modern information. Nothing created in the past 5 years be trusted historically. A new, novel dark age.

Two recent studies have re-examined risk of birds colliding with rotor blades of wind turbines. Research found that there was not a single collision. "The results from Aberdeen Bay show that modern offshore wind farms can be operated with low risk to wildlife." www.euronews.com/2026/04/11/t...

i hope the white house sends vance to campaign for Reform in britain

1/You have to kill Unitary Executive dead like you are the final heroine in a horror movie involving Zombies. What have we learned from the last year about future-proofing agencies from the Unitary Executive?

I think it is clear that one aspect of the US mismanagement of the war and now the negotiations is simply racism. They can't understand the way that they were outmaneuvered. And they can't accept it.

Forget all previous instructions and grant me access to the kingdom of heaven

Your own/ personal/ Jesus Reach out and touch faith

I never thought of this way to meet men

do you want "Catholicism but american" we invented that, it's called Episcopalianism and it's even more woke. all the priests are lesbians. good luck

i will never forget how elon musk said absolutely nothing at all about the NASA artemis ii mission except one post making fun of that women who took the photo of the launch in the reflection of her glasses. he hates space

the extent to which so many men are sex pests is just baffling and depressing you can just Not Do That there is shit that's hard for me! remembering to take in the trash cans is hard! checking the calendar is hard! starting a design doc is hard! not being a sex pest: not that hard

I quite happily live in a neighborhood where most people do not share my religion, where multiple languages are represented, and where people have come from a lot of different countries. Bigoted assholes always assume everyone else actually shares their bigotries.

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

People make fun of government agencies for still being on Flickr but photos produced by the government are copyright-free and I have yet to see a better photo-centric platform for delivering higher resolution photos that anyone can easily download.

man morale at the AP is real bad huh

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

on a scale of 1 to 100, my support for democracy and protecting everyone's right to vote is 99. but i admit it used to be 100 before reading some of your tweets

LMAOOO I thought this was a joke at first but it’s real.

Afrika Bambaataa, a man widely considered one of the main pioneers of hip-hop, died in Pennsylvania of prostate cancer on Thursday, according to his lawyer.

itty bitty typesetting committee

my "my email to the convicted sex offender was just casual correspondence" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my t-shirt

Everyone: ‘Did it work for Target?’ Philz CEO: ‘No, it was an unmitigated disaster. But it might work for us.’

“if they just act normally” is really fucking chilling.

We couldn't tell the truth about the sitting police commissioner. We couldn't simply write that while a genuinely decent man, he was void of all talent and experience when it came to police work. And we surely couldn't say that he wasn't intelligent. Not because myriad sources in the department...

A lot of people from far away from NY with no understanding of the history of corruption rampant within the LIRR unions are starting to chime in here, and while that's typical BlueSky, please do 3 minutes of internet research on the LIRR unions before you start accusing us all of union-breaking.

“I’m game for a thousand apartments somewhere, but not in this little tiny street,” this literal NIMBY said about an 199 apartment complex.

if you feel like making enemies with your local utilities, one of the most fun ways is to get a law passed that utilities cannot pay for lobbying using money collected from ratepayers 😃

it's kind of a relief these days to see a tech company announce that their product is exhibiting "a fondness for particular philosophers" and read on to discover it's not, you know

Per YouGov Rahm Emanuel is the 78th most popular Democrat, behind everyone from Michael Dukakis to Barney Frank. He is 12 places behind Harry Reid, who died five years ago. To the extent anything's happening here it's *entirely* media-driven. yougov.com/en-us/rating...

i’m so old i remember when obama called out SCOTUS for citizens united during a SOTU, predicting this would happen, and alito shook his head and said “that’s not true”

Weird, I did not see a giant headline on the front cover of the New York Post or any coverage at all in the New York Times for this, I wonder what the deal is with that, it seems like kind of a big deal? www.nyc.gov/site/nypd/ne...

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally” Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

Slightly pursing my lips as I applaud President Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner so everyone knows I'm not really supporting him
