I'm just one chapter into my first Joyce Carol Oates book and I'm already wondering how someone is so good at writing.

Why isn't there a Castlevania story driven rpg? The TV shows show how much story there is abailable.

I think I'm a messy enough eater to know that my dog is a big fan of Stilton

Fuck Ice. Protest, donate, write your congress person, check in on your neighbors. This monster will fail if we don't fail one another.

To my great disappointment, making my own mushroom stock has made mushroom risotto that is 1000x better

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

uh holy SHIT?

Spent new years Eve in copenhagen. What a wild time. A two Michelin star tasting menu and unhinged danish fireworks

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

Misinformation *is* central to democratic problems today, but the solution is *not* to correct such epistemic failures directly. Instead, we must address them at their roots, in social identity. Or so I argue in a new post for @apaphilosophy.bsky.social. blog.apaonline.org/2025/11/12/t...

"The boy, who is Hispanic and African American, was held in a garage for five hours “without informing his family, stating any charges, or allowing him to call an attorney,” the statement said. He is a U.S. citizen, as is his entire immediate family, the release said."

That moment when your old boss wins a Nobel prize

Canceling Disney plus. Let me know how Aliens Earth ends :(

I keep asking people how they deal with the feeling of their brain crying everyday when they get home from work but they don't know what I'm talking about.

This guy gets it www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/o...

I'm stunned. ICE attorneys not identifying themselves in COURT?

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence

Ok. I don’t know how many alarms this is. It’s all of them.

I'm too invested in these eagles. Gizmo, you need to do more practice flapping!

"She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. 'I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war. '”

Science Magazine gets it wrong. 🧵

🧪 If you had your NSF grant terminated, I'd *highly* recommend going to this Friday's webinar. Friday May 9 at 2-3 pm ET Will talk about both the appeals process, in addition to allowable closeout costs. Share widely. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

The people we threw into a foreign gulag are now being used as bargaining chips by the president of another country

Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.” x.com/nayibbukele/...

The Trump regime is claiming tyrannical powers. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole, not a partisan statement. The reality we now face.

@emilynplays.bsky.social Are you still streaming?

Starting to understand the seemingly timeless desire to just be a bird and fly away from *gestures broadly* all this

@kenwhite.bsky.social seems like this is going to keep getting worse www.freep.com/story/news/l...

I called this opinion a gimmick: A way to strip Boasberg of review while still giving the illusion of due process. @kovarsky.bsky.social lays out a bunch of legal evidence that's what's going on.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Also, a woman was handcuffed at a subway station in NYC (Franklin Ave) when she intervened asking why a delivery man was asked to show work permit by undercover agents. There is a video of that.

Full fascist Nazi "rounding up the undesirables" and putting them in camps phase. Right in your face

Does anybody have a book recommendation for something with the vibe of either Severance or Dark?

this book is not out and the release date is not announced. And yet google confidently tells you it came out months ago. "AI" is absolute garbage. Please get rid of it

She is a beautiful flower

2nd fastest time of the month for this escape room and there were only two of us for a recommended 3-5 person room.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION: My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then, "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

The Ed. Department's Office for Civil Rights sent letters to 60 additional institutions "warning them of potential enforcement actions" for "violations relating to antisemitic harassment and discrimination" including Harvard, Brown, Stanford, Princeton, UNC, and several UC's

A recent report showed that the destruction of just one USAID program, the anti-AIDS PEPFAR initiative, would lead to the deaths of one million people *every year* www.vox.com/future-perfe...

After J6 2021 many people spoke out about what this would portend and how bad it would get. The media and general public didn't treat those fears seriously. Now the worst of the predictions are happening every day and the media and general public still refuse to take it seriously.

This type of lawyer-brain is so, so bad and poisonous. The future of US democracy does *not* rest solely on whether Trump will defy court orders. It’s perfectly possible to destroy democracy without doing that, as long as you have a friendly court. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/o...

This is unconscionable of Democrats. Jeffries should be replaced as minority leader immediately. He isn't fit for the position or this moment in history.

The US Attorney in Washington DC is investigating Georgetown Law School, demanding that "if DEI is found in your courses or teaching in anyway [sic]," the law school should "move swiftly to remove it" Federal prosecutors don’t control the classroom. This is a dark abdication of the First Amendment.
