Physical media true believers rejoice

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

Many people are saying that Johnny Cash is cool now

I approve of @thedailybeast.bsky.social's headline style when it comes to it's Trump coverage

This is something all too rare: A Republican asking himself, 'How would I feel if a Democrat did to me what Trump is doing to Democrats?'

The nominative determinism of this specific atrocity is off the charts here.

Our country is run by dumbass clown tyrants

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

"“If a building transition occurs, the intent would be to transition ICE out, not to house or retain ICE as a tenant,” Bowman said."

when UNC scored on the first possession of the first game and Colin Cowherd immediately posted this, and then UNC lost by 34

America is in crisis. So it's a small relief that the rest of the world is actually getting remarkable stuff done with energy. We just passed a huge milestone globally! Now back to work on America. billmckibben.substack.com/p/something-...

A lot of the photos in my collection aren’t perfectly in focus, but I have to buy them anyway because it was still a kitty that somebody loved! Besides, how could I resist the happy body language and little eyebrows on this one?

“They’re all Antifa now”

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

tbr, but GOOD. thank you, @jimlee.bsky.social!

This little twerp, who’s been there a few months, axed two of the lions of WaPo?? Fisher is an investigative champion and had been at The Post for 39 years. Hoffman had been there for 42, and he won a Pulitzer LAST YEAR.

Dolly Parton could’ve written Das Kapital, but Karl Marx couldn’t have written 9 to 5 and it shows

SCOTUS signaled at its hearings today it may strike down Colorado's ban on conversion therapy ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/chile...

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon... -Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

It’s funny, there’s no evidence anyone on the right even likes Weiss, her entire career is contingent on conflict with left-leaning or centrist institutions, and the rich people who love her shit stirring

Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline: AB 82/SB 497 AB 1084/SB 59 SB 418 AB 554 AB 728 AB 678 SB 590 SB 450

Another incident of federal agents pointing guns at Chicago area residents.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city. They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Mocking Gaza's murdered babies on national television. We are living through a depraved period of history. But this is what genocides do. They're only possible because of the dehumanisation of their victims. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/mocking-ga...

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

With farm bailouts back in the news, it's a great time to remind everyone that US Treasury Secretary Bessent owns thousands of acres of of soybean farms. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/u...

Thread from one of the best of eggs. Pls read and consider buying a book or two.

One of my favorite bits of worldbuilding on a show ever was in the Watchmen pilot (I believe that's the ep). Regina King is driving, and baby squid suddenly rain down from the sky. She pulls over, resigned and annoyed, gets out and cleans the windshield. It's brilliant. Here's why:

this is the real legacy of Charlie Kirk

wait it's possible to move from pilot studies to permanent implementation of basic income? please tell everyone except Andrew Yang about this

Appalachia, 1900. Things ancient and dead haunt the green hills. A young woman — cast out by strange tragedy — walks the road on her wooden leg, practicing witchery and settling spirits. (The hardest to settle might be her own.) Digital copies of GHOST DAYS are $6! Grab one for spooky season!

There is something fascinating about the fact that Chicago is showing every other American city how to fight back against the fascist regime after being THE target of every right-winger's bullshit, racist rhetoric for decades now.

these mfers wanted to take guys away from their real jobs to do fascism for free 😭

ok I didn't mention this in my piece on friday but one of the things the judge asked about was whether the guardsmen were going to get paid during the shutdown the doj was like "idk" the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"

Crucial overlooked dynamic: The MAGA agenda fractures the Trump coalition. The "price of eggs" voters hate tariffs, militarization of cities, masked kidnappings, corrupt weaponizing of budget cuts, censoring of comedians. Me and @amandamarcotte.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2013...

BREAKING: Son of the most powerful man on the planet who's name is on dozens of golf courses and buildings and shakes down every institution for payoffs and bribes is rich. HOW DID HE DO IT

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Captivated by this photo of Mickey Mouse & Jay Leno sitting on top of Matterhorn Mountain.

Stephen Miller said last year this was the plan. They said it out loud. Some of us highlighted his remarks at the time and warned how dangerous they were. Most of the media missed them and/or moved on from them. It’s happening:

related, when the president is invading our own country, waging war on our own people, i don't wanna see dems give the GOP shit they ask for, don't wanna hear shit bout 'we hope our friends across the aisle will work with us on bipartisan solutions to the problems they cause' i don't want none of it

NEW inside CBS— Staff are insulted executives will spend $150 million to buy The Free Press & make self-proclaimed “Zionist fanatic” Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief, while many of them are set to be laid off. “If I wrote 90 percent of what’s on The Free Press, I would get flagged and fired,” one says.

Trump and Vance want badly to stop you from using the f-word That's because if we accurately call out rising fascism from the streets of Chicago to the waters of the Caribbean, we will understand that we must fight back with the moral strength of war My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

It’s bigotry to hate those inflatable flappy arm guys from outside car dealerships

The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.

One of my absolute favorite artists. Her work is magical, I have two prints already.
