So who has ideas on how to write better checks and balances into the next constitution(s) after the fall of the US? Let's not procrastinate on this.

When the subtitle is actually the headline: “In an internal memo last year, Meta said the political tumult in the United States would distract critics from the feature’s release.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

It's so much easier to not take online bad takes seriously now that I have kids. People just say stuff because they're silly gooses. I don't get mad anymore I just chuckle and go "what a silly goose"

Folks should be able to make a living and have a good life without others suffering. If your political ideology is based on hurting someone else, you’re a sociopath.

Americans might use anything but the metric system, but men will use anything but therapy.

that’s it, i’ve finally taken my best photo of all time 😅 (this chubster is an unapologetic beggar so don’t feel bad for him) 🧪🌍 #bird #birb

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Would have shared @igdoods.bsky.social but it didn't have alt text.

The morning so far

Same reason everyone should be VEHEMENTLY opposed to mandatory Age Verification tech and Age Gates They don't care about children. They care about getting documented records of every person looking at every website they want to ban.

Sorry to be Radical Left but I don't think we should put people who haven't committed a crime, and aren't even accused of committing a crime, into any sort of "Detention"

Kinda wish there had been a pop-up video (remember those?) with this context for the MAGA crowd, live.

“Won't someone think of the children (not including those my friends and I victimized)???” Also LOL at “no one” understanding Spanish.

The person who really convinced me was Steve Almond, who LOVED football, & 11 years ago wound up writing a book about why we should all stop watching Bottom line: "Consuming as a form of entertainment a game that causes human beings to suffer brain damage is wrong." free link: archive.is/SHJms

sure, this is why the New York Times publishes a list of which books were written the fastest

Imagine launching a substack on the cusp of 2026. I swear to god, y'all.

In case anyone missed the memo, Substack is still a digital Nazi bar.

Oops, we're not polling well with Sanctimonious Men.

What are we even doing????

It turns out the racist staffer we hired was the President himself

apropos?

I never want to see the term “AI coworker” ever again

The racist in chief also re-truthed this pile of shit:

Can McArdle really be that much of an idiot to not understand?

Silly citizens wanting assurances that their most foundational right—without which no other right can be held—will not be subjected to intimidation and violence. So silly.

The Struggles Of Elon Musk 😔

Billionaires will be billionaires, I guess.

One thing that I always hate about polls is that they aren't value-neutral. The mere act of asking thousands of people to choose has some impact on those thousands of people's ultimate choice. The mere act of putting those names in front of us with numbers impacts how we all think about the race.

Always watching.

25% fewer nazi goons kidnapping our neighbors is no cause for celebration, Czar Homan. When we say ICE Out of Minnesota, we mean #AbolishICE.

put it in the Louvre

If we had polls here, I'd be asking: Have you ever actually *watched* an ad without hitting "skip" or have they only ever played beyond the "skip" because you weren't paying attention or couldn't be bothered to click?

“Fuck I am the enemy”

Respect is earned.

Putting on my suit and tie and going on America Erwache to describe a 234 year old basic requirement of the constitution for lawful searches and seizures as a “nonstarter.”

It’s our 11th anniversary today, so we went absolutely crazy. Happy Vivaldi Day! 🎉

Now that ICE will be required to wear body cameras, officers like Jonathan Ross won’t have to hold a phone to film themselves shooting people like Renee Good, they’ll have both hands free to focus on the murder, knowing that it’ll still get on film.

I yearn for a future where Kristi Noem goes to jail, and the rest of us never have to see her, hear from her or think of her ever again. I dream of a day when we see her name in an ancient newspaper and cant for the life of us remember who she is.

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is: The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections — in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.

I realize that "hustle culture" is all the rage, but what about "sit in front of a cracking fire in a Scottish Highlands cottage whilst reading, sipping tea, and eating scones" culture?
