I apologize for the next 48 hours. But I’m not letting up on people making things up. They won’t get away with it.

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

uhhhh...not sure i'd pimp Wurman's risible work any time, but especially not two days before his error-laden garbage will be on display during oral arguments backstopping the admin's push to end birthright citizenship.

"'Catholicism is a false religion,' Ivey wrote in one Instagram comment" HIS MOM IS THE HEAD COACH AT NOTRE DAME

Srsly. There's no reference back to the anon worried judges with details about concerns. Non-judge Noah Feldman is quoted vaguely brow furrowing. Non-judge Marin Levy is quoted saying "because there have been several fires doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t sound the alarm for the next one."

"Some current and former judges who spoke on the condition of anonymity...said they worried some of their colleagues might just be taking Mr. Trump’s bait." No further mention of those anon judges appears again. Instead, Ed Whelan and Chad Mizelle are given a platform to whine.

Neat that the media will uncritically go along with each of these stock market manipulation efforts.

The unironic use of the term "deep state" to refer to elements of the US government or society is a reliable indicator that the speaker/writer is a crank.

The research exaggeration pipeline. -Unpublished paper -One outlier: "min & max can be found at 0.3°C and 9.1°C" (95th pct "between 1.5°C & 2.4°C") -No causal identification; just pre/post that could be result of many factors Do you really believe data centers are warming *10km* away? Really?

Hi from Hennepin County. Can we get in on this??

Duke WBB did us all a solid by taking out LSU and another solid by losing to UCLA. Thank you for your service.

“If you’re gay or transgender, I love you. And if anybody gives you shit, tell ‘em Charles said fuck you.”

I'm not one for pope-stanning, but I kind of love that we have one who routinely tells JD Vance, "I know for a fact that Jesus doesn't think much of you."

I didn't think that Duke loss could possibly get any sweeter and then I realized Stephen Miller probably had a sad viewing party in the White House and, ah, yeah, that did it

my brand is strong

Duke women AND men now both out. you love to see it.

Lol come on. Wellstone spent close to 2 decades in MN politics before running for Senate. Extensive community organizing at county level, labor organizing in southern MN, ran for state auditor twice, MN chair for 2 Dem prez campaigns, DNC rep from MN. Not remotely the same as Platner.

for this month's WORK IS FOUR LETTERS, i had a delightful conversation with @lioninthetrees.bsky.social about how she got into creating some of the coolest ceramics i've ever seen, and what it's like to be an artist pushing yourself into new places. this was a real treat, and i hope you enjoy it.

Can they do Minneapolis next?

I mean, whatever it takes?

It’s so beautiful.

Of all the things that have never happened this is the most thing that has never happened.

I’m not a mom, but I’ve noticed that “wine mom” and “Patagonia wearing mom” and “moms pushing strollers” are cited as people who aren’t expected to take political action, or even to hold strong opinions. You all had moms, why do you think so little of her? Because she made you eat veggies? Grow up.

The other council member representing Uptown, Elizabeth Shaffer, was also absent from this meeting. The actual mayor of Uptown, Jacob Frey, wasn't at the meeting either. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Don’t love Duke but the enemy of my enemy and so on. Blocking Mulkey from taking LSU to the Elite 8 again is a noble achievement.

Isaac Chotiner should interview Ilan Wurman

*Deborah Vance opens her Ring cam to check her closets*

Ezra Klein: I'm Ezra Klein, and today I'm joined by one of the foremost intellectual theorists of Trumpism. He is an associate editor at the Rancho Cucamonga Review of Ideas and a fellow at the Schlafly Institute of Punitive Economics. [a baked potato in a top hat]: Thanks for having me, Ezra.

Shia LaBeouf is the only person I've interviewed who I know for a fact straight up lied to me. I talked to him about some interesting comics he'd made that turned to have been largely plagiarized. It meant nothing to him but my reputation is on the line with these things. Yeah, not a nice person.

Transphobia is such a skeleton key for understanding the abject rot pervading American institutions.

man, this account *never* misses

let's talk about that fucking SWEATER. perfection.

Everyone who works for the NYT — including my many friends — should be incredibly embarrassed by this statement. The depths to which the NYT will go to back its agenda of challenging trans people's right to exist is horrifying, ongoing, and has caused very real and specific harms to trans people.

well, yeah. gotta keep them in the GOP fold.

William Butler Yeats gazing in the direction of Bethlehem:

damnatio memoriae, you're hearing it more and more, folks, we're going to erase his name from the history books very strongly, big strong men, tears in their eyes, they're going to say, "trump, that's an unusual name, i've never heard that one"

You‘re not as smart as you think you are, and you’re laundering the work of reactionaries. You’re also being a jerk.

You are contributing to the legal case against birthright citizenship. In real time. Happy?

I am so tired.

probably the most depressing thing I’ll read this week

It’s almost as if neither a reduction in wait times nor a resumption of DHS funding was the actual goal, huh

this is fucking gross. take it down.

"is genuine sleater-kinney a power trio?" forum thread, forum is completely deleted and domain abandoned after 1954 posts, correct answer is: genuine sleater-kinney is a classic four-piece because janet is both drums and bass.

that being said, this one isn't on Rosen but instead Jay Clayton in SDNY who also, IIRC, had no prosecutorial experience before becoming U.S. Attorney

For being only 15 seconds, this packs a lot of worrisome wrong in. (1) Big Pharma conspiracy wheee; (2) He either completely misunderstands how hospitals are funded or is just lying; (3) Rural hospitals are getting crushed under Trump policies and you don't think to mention that?

Let’s fucking go

Obviously this photo is a Simpsons joke, right?

There’s a better chance of your grandmother growing wheels and becoming a bicycle than there is of any of this happening.

The reporting also suggests that Botstein had more interactions with Epstein’s victims and their parents than was previously reported, and that Epstein was involved, through Botstein, with a Bard-affiliated college in Russia, a country many victims came from. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
