At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

People rock.

[at the last judgment] JESUS: And the baby prisons? EVANGELICALS: to own the libs, right JESUS: And the libs, who are they EVANGELICALS: uh mostly illegal aliens. if we really hate a pretty girl we call her fatherless. some widows JESUS: Alien, fatherless, widow, got it. So you see these millstones

clearly we haven’t met everyone’s use case properly and need to try again

Marjorie Taylor Green isn’t a known antisemite because she criticizes Israel, she’s a known antisemite because of all the talk about secret cabals, Jewish space lasers, Great Replacement theory, and Jews killing Jesus. Hope this helps some leftists who are mad at AOC for being right about her today

6/ These weapons are especially toxic to children, who breathe more rapidly than adults, pulling in more contaminated air relative to their body weight. There are no studies of long-term effects on kids, but studies on adults show lingering eye issues and respiratory illnesses.

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

another classic of the genre

There are way more pleasant ways to make yourself absolutely miserable. Eat handfuls of surprise berries picked from roadside bushes. Enjoy undercooked chicken. Just LICK stuff. Whatever. But Ivermectin without a legitimate clinical need is NO THANK YOU.

It is fairly well-known that as part of researching the Parasitology trilogy, I was voluntarily and intentionally infected with a tapeworm. Less well-known is how I got rid of it.

Friends, don't do this. Stating that Harry Truman did a thing is not an endorsement of Harry Truman. It is a statement that Harry Truman did a thing. Historians are allowed to discuss discrete historical facts on the internet without attaching a disclaimer paragraph every single fucking time.

We are experiencing a problem with our Discord server and hope to be up and running again soon. Stay tuned!

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Egon Schiele Port of Trieste (1907)

great at male friendship, pranks involving physical pain, being a smart-ass, terrible at everything else. insufferable and charming in the same gesture. world-historically bad at driving

the more I think about it, the more I feel like “Odysseus is from Boston” is true in a sort of ecstatic truth way

As a new parent this one is in my head every single day

Kurt Loder turns 81 today. We are old as fuck.

These are perfect. Often in nonprofit / public sector comms orgs will try to make visuals riffing on pop culture but they don’t get the aesthetic. These spreads function like fashion editorial spreads. They are photographed like them. The workers are presented with the agency they deserve! 🧵

If a woman like that asks you to lay severed heads at her feet, you yell “Skulls for the Skull Throne!” and go put on your slaughterin’ pants.

flying dangerously close to boomer posting here but the internet was unquestionably better back when it was mostly just people’s personal projects like this

The intrusive thoughts overwhelmed my last two brain cells

never has minneapolis needed to celebrate the sun coming more than at the end of winter 2026. ICE are not gone completely, but we still won, and it was incredibly cathartic to see this ceremony at mayday about protecting our neighbors, grounding why we did this work. i love this city

Incredible work by a tribe of just 400 people to restore wildlife habitat and reduce flooding risk. 💚 Coastal wetland restoration—anywhere and everywhere—is one of the best things we can do for our collective future.

as an avid reader of corrections, I am unlikely to recover from “sits peeing down”

"You know yourself what's at stake" is a hardcore sign off.

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

Just a reminder that past motives for assassination attempts have included: "because the ghost of William McKinley told me to," "to save the trees" and "to impress Jodie Foster."

In Episode 6 of "Pulp Punch-Up," Freak Squad has to bring everything they have to protect their friends and mentors from a budding alliance of villains. Listen to @2dollarcreature.bsky.social's mini-series of Masks: A New Generation, out now on your favorite pod platform.

“Not as long as Vietnam” is some truly top tier marketing for this war.

This is how it works in normal, proper democracies all the time. We don’t have to tolerate the lies, bullshit, & election night horse race theatrics. We could just count votes & then be done & have all parties accept the results, like happens all the time elsewhere.

I really think that we should start thinking about holding election results until they are all counted, rather than releasing them minute by minute. the gop was not "winning"; it's not a horse race. the election is over. you're just counting ballots. 1

"Hours passed, like a kidney stone." (Clockwork Boys, p. 101. Excellent book so far.) Thank you, @tkingfisher.com, for the best laugh in recent memory.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Memo to this horrid person: contract rights are not the only rights your writers have. Also: law is not the only remedy they may have either. But so much for McClatchy as a credible press organization to even THINK this was a good idea.

They may own the rights to the articles but not to the writers’ NAMES. Not being able to remove your name from a byline if there’s been an editorial issue or whatever is fundamentally different than your employer attributing things to you that you didn’t do.

First reaction: JFC, *McClatchy* is doing this? <brief Googling> Ah. Bought in bankruptcy by a hedge fund in 2020.

love all the angles in this outfit - the tie with the flare of the pants, the deep cut vest and the cut of this jacket open. the proportions are perfect, colman always delivers what a stunner

Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited

Also, someday, society will decide relying on noblesse oblige is not a winning strategy.

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

The social contract is in shambles. Somebody on the train has their phone on speaker *while they’re on hold*. ??????

Being reliable at the grill and in the kitchen is a social superpower even if you're visiting somewhere

I find this line of reasoning SO common - everyone thinks there's a line and that you can just fill out a paper, get in that line, and then one day you'll (magically) have a green card. But there's no form, no line, and no path to a green card at all for most people like this.

Very much not trying to call out this specific person so PLEASE do not pile on, but this is a good example of how this very common false belief that people can get status if they try hard enough often leads to a kind of presumption that if someone HASN'T gotten status, they are somehow at fault.
