Gotta say it’s pretty good practical politics to run Trump’s face directly alongside a picture of a bed bug when you get a news item like this. He’s the #BedBugPresident now.

Hasbro is truly evil. solidarity to all the Wizards Of The Coast workers dealing with this transphobic nonsense.

Every time I think "that's the most painfully obvious metaphor I have ever seen; I mean, who's writing this script?" something gets posted where I'm reminded there's always something more outlandish just around the corner

New essay! "Nature, Monsters, and the Responsibility of Larger Things" by Nilah Magruder! buff.ly/sX8JoKQ

The cactus are now giving me an embarrassment of riches.

Trans rights are human rights.

they are announcing their intention ahead of time to steal our money from the treasury. intolerable

Fellow Californians, PLEASE vote today. We're the fourth largest economy in the world. If you want us to continue standing up against Trump, we have to turn out. Find everything you need here: iwillvote.com

IT’S CATHOLIC GUILT AND PROTESTANT WORK ETHIC IN A HORRIBLE UNION

like at what point is this shit just corporate elder abuse

The people politically loyal to Graham Platner are, largely, rural people. The people baffled by political loyalty to Graham Platner are, largely, not; and do not understand that the things they consider demerits are a foundation of his political appeal. open.substack.com/pub/rickperl...

Hegseth never had the chops for War, and JD "Pope Killer" Vance has been phoning it in as Death for a while. But RFK Jr shows up every day determined to do everything he can to make sure more people die of preventable illnesses. It's an admirable work ethic.

RFK Jr was entrusted with this role because since Musk dropped his frankly stellar run promoting Famine, RFK Jr is the only one of the administration's 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse who really takes his role (as Pestilence) seriously anymore.

Its exactly like the "well, senate wouldn't convict IN THE NEXT CONGRESS so running on impeachment is pointless..." YOU FOOLS! get blocked by the fascist right IS A GOOD THING! Running to remove trump and getting blocked by Republicans IS GOOD POLITICS.

Welp there’s no unseeing this

Most of our district, including the triple deckers everyone loves, was technically illegal to build. That's not an accident. It's the result of decades of rules that quietly banned the cheapest housing we ever built. Cambridge changed it last year. Every city in Massachusetts can too.

#AICouldNever Yes, there are people in the USA who would rather be listening to Kid Rock, but the rest of us can listen to the world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf9C...

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

Repost the Leather Dachshund from Seattle Pride 1991 to be blessed this Pride Month!

Look, we all bust on capitalism, but the thing about so much techbro bullshit now is *it’s not even good capitalism.*

"In a video during the Jan. 6 attacks, as self-described Christians rampaged through the Capitol brandishing Christian imagery and slogans, [Rep. Tom] Suozzi [(D-NY)] fretted about 'anarchists on the left.' ... He didn't mention Christian nationalism."

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

I am saying this because the places that are going to need mass air conditioning most immediately are all countries whose lives get dismissed as expendable, and we need to start putting them first if we actually want to get through this.

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

LMAO at this email from Lyft. SB 2906 grants drivers the right to unionize. It’ll affect 100,000 Illinoisans who are ride share drivers.

Idk if it's just my memory being bad or what, but I feel like Ossoff has gotten much better as a candidate since the 2020 race

Give this a read.

Hmm, I posted "who do you have to kill to become a partner at A16Z?" and YouTube has had the video under review (but... not blocked?) for an hour now. I suppose accurately describing their business policies violates some algorithm? www.youtube.com/shorts/9xciZ...

losing control of the strait in contrast really does materially damage US security and substantially weakens us globally. as well as imperiling the world economy. hard to think of a war in which the US came out of it substantially weaker in this way.

that means trump is arguably responsible for both the worst US military defeat in history and the single worst genocide in US history (shutting off USAID is probably going to kill more people than any other single US atrocity.)

Grape Nuts I can hear it now that I’m writing it out.

Happy Pride 🌈

Imagine coming from multiple generations of navy veterans who spent their professional careers conducting freedom of navigation exercises and Trump casually tosses out a “joint venture” tollbooth proposal to Iran.🙄

“Acing” a cognitive test is like acing a colonoscopy

A student spent more than a year crafting a Lego model of Rockefeller Chapel in their dorm and donated it to the College upon graduation, so now its set up on display in the Dean's Office. The level of detail and accuracy is incredible!

The way woke ppl are talking about this lawsuit is a good reminder that no ideology has a monopoly on critical thinking skills

Here is an interesting tale

Happy Pride Month to everyone who brings a little more color to our world 🏳️‍🌈🫶🏳️‍⚧️

Mockery is a legitimate form of protest and people underestimate how much bigots hate it.

I was lucky enough to meet Dr. Tiller at a conference once. He was kind and funny, holding court after with a bunch of us awestruck twenty-somethings. He was the epitome of positive masculinity, and the finest of role models.
