"Minnesota has repeatedly declined to return it, with Governor Jesse Ventura (serving 1999–2003) asking 'Why? I mean, we won.'"

I love how MN refuses to return this to Virginia.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was murdered four fifths of a mile from where George Perry Floyd, Jr., 46, was murdered in May of 2020.

Every use of generative "AI" makes any given situation worse. You're not helping, you're not adding something of worth, and you're encouraging shit to get worse. "No see I made a funny picture of Kristi Noem with dead dogs and--" Fuck off into the sun and roast your hairy asshole. Stop it.

Realized I hadn't posted one of these

"I'm calling to demand the immediate dismantling of ICE for the murder of a woman in Minneapolis today and the impeachment of the President for his support of that murder" is the easiest call to my senators and representative I've ever made

I honestly don’t think there’s a single figure in American history who has fundamentally shifted the way I understand the world I live in more radically than Fred Hampton. once you know the story you can’t un-know it and you see it repeated everywhere

The ICE murder of Renee Good and the failure of any cessation of the Grok CSAM and nonconsensual image generation are part of the same broader story about the establishment of elite impunity for transgressing all moral boundaries of a humanist civil society with individual rights

I had “Getting real tired of people telling me deadly force is a reasonable first reaction for trained law enforcement.” as my pinned tweet for EIGHT YEARS until I deleted my twitter. It never got any less true, and has only gotten more haunting since.

this was always going to happen and we're all surprised it took this long

Ahahahaha

NYTimes asked to use his footage, and this was the response. We have no choice but to stan.

Not another word about Americans not doing shit. All the “ice watch” stuff folks think is performative is both useful and incredibly fucking dangerous. And that danger is only making more people go out more urgently

girl if you can launch a stapler at your staff i know you can deliver more heat than this

After nearly a decade and over 100 episodes, the Nicktoons era of this video series has begun. So excited to watch this. If you’re not familiar with the definitive chronological history of Nickelodeon programming, check it out: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Love to see an org I've boosted for turn out to be trash. 🫠

There's a problem when private citizens seem to understand this better than elected officials.

These are friends of mine. I don't even have a good pitch to write. They've gotten the worst news and are asking for help. www.gofundme.com/f/standing-w...

Gravity Falls being about the summer between being a kid and being an adolescent absolutely nails the end. "Ready to head into the unknown?" "Nope. Let's do it." Chef's fucking kiss.

happy hunting!

Guys, we did it. We invented the Commodore 64

I wrote the original version of this in November 2020. Apollo's dodgeball smacked me in the face on 1/6/21, and it's felt worse each year since. youtu.be/CWaydNLvLeE?...

If you're gonna steal, calmly take EVERYTHING.

This is the America I want.

Boy, this "feel-good" story lasted all of about 10 seconds. Welcome to 2026

NYC in April before the summer heat wakes up the garbage juice.

So young! He had like 30 more years of hateful laws to write!

Dunk me like a fucking oreo

My one real comment on the Jan 6 5 yr anniversary is that it was carried out by rich people. The poor hick stereotype is incorrect. It was rich people, suburban millionaires and their backers. We know this from who was arrested. It cost money to go to DC, stay at fancy hotels, fund this, etc.

Stephen Miller scares me more than Trump ever has. Miller actually believes the bonkers stuff he says.

Just today, I got chili oil in my eye.

RSV? MENINGITIS??? People are gonna DIE die.

Legit if you know anybody that's been thinking of joining up or is a vulnerable teen, tell them this. Recruiters are predators and should be treated as such; I lost two friends to Dubya back in the 00s after they rolled up to the schools in Hummers with Xboxes in the back playing America's Army.

It didn't occur to me until this morning, but there's an aspect of this that's really sending me. In order to legally host non-user-generated adult material (so excluding PornHub), sites must have ON PREMISES a stack of documents proving the performers are who they say they are, and over 18.

Oh I see, Youtube's got jokes this morning. (yes, I understand what algorithms are and why it would be surfacing now, don't be cute.)

This elaborate alarm clock from the 19th century prompted people to think about the shortness of life. When the alarm bell chimed, a small card running up the skeleton’s spinal column retracted to make the jaw open and the eyes roll. It's now at the Science Museum, London. #skystorians

If you needed White women arrested on live television before you gave a shit, here you go.

you guys ever see Looper

if you didn't immediately clock this as AI within 2 seconds of seeing it out of the corner of your eye you're ngmi

Literally reheating Kissinger's nachos lmao.

Also this whole thing is like if someone put Kissinger’s undead brain in a microwave on the baked potato setting and then let it run America.

Just discovered the subreddit r/accidentalrockwell and it is delightful

There are a lot of other parts of world history this moment reminds me of, but it's certainly giving Operation Ajax. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Ir...

So like, I understand the utility of "don't let them take our joy," "don't let their evil get you down" etc. I understand that, and I have no intention of succumbing to that despair. But fucks sake, we have GOT to hold space for people who need to feel that way for a damn minute before they rally.
