On the newly announced dime the olive branch is gone, but the eagle’s head is still facing left, stuck staring in confusion at the empty space where peace used to be. I’ll give this administration one thing: they’re not subtle fortune.com/2026/03/12/u...

Elon messed with Twitter’s algorithm again, suppressing almost all videos of Iran conflict. BlueSky could step in here. It could prove itself to truly be a place people can leave Twitter for, a place with uncensored, timely news. Except somehow BlueSky still remains more censored than Twitter 🙁

“We seriously damaged their fishing industry also. Nobody wants to go fishing anymore.” Ummmm… so he’s admitting they weren’t actually drug boats?

In the ‘90s they used to show us Gideon’s Trumpet in civics class. A movie about the SCOTUS decision to require everyone to be offered legal representation. The big scene is in the back room, as they discuss “it’s the right thing to do, but it would fuck over the government”. They did it anyway.

🎶 Man, what a hell of a year it's been Keep on bluffin', but I just can't win Drowned my sorrows, but they learned to swim Man, what a hell of a year it's been 🎵 Did any song speak to us so clearly last year? So happy to see Shaboozey winning a Grammy AND showing that he’s a decent human bring.

ICE agents wearing a keffiyeh as their mask is an extra level of offensive. I guess the rule is: “We’ll lock you up for wearing a keffiyah, because it means you support Palestine… unless we see you actively beating up an innocent, since then we’ll know you’re clearly an IDF supporter.” 🤦‍♂️

This is VERY VERY VERY bad. Just wait until they use this on protesters here in the United States. You know it will happen. We ALL know it will happen. Not surprisingly, things are about to get a whole lot worse. Chances are, we’ll see this used here before sumner arrives.

On the plus side, these idiots don’t actually know HOW to “take Greenland”. They kidnapped Maduro then fled like common thugs, nothing like the colonizers they imagine themselves to be. Taking land would require governing it, and it’s pretty obvious they don’t know how to govern, here OR abroad.

OpenAI preparing their excuse for the inevitable bubble burst — “we needed a second electron.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-ele...

When I was 17, 17-yr old girls were the most beautiful things in the world, and I was 100% certain I would be attracted to them forever. Then I grew up. Teenagers look like children to me now. (Because, you know, THEY ARE.) Healthy grown men are NOT attracted to children. Hard stop.

Quick quiz: Tr*mp or NIN quotes? Hey pig Nothing's turning out the way I planned Nothing can stop me now I just don’t care

I hope we all knew that “The Epstein Files” was always an op. Trump wanted us this rabid for them. He wanted months of turmoil. Now the plan reaches end-stage. He’s going to provide modified versions that ‘prove’ his innocence, then use those to ‘prove’ D’s are using a witch hunt against him.

This one hurts. I quote a LOT of Todd Snider lyrics in day-to-day life, but the ones I probably quote the most come from Statistician’s Blues. Rest in Power, may your songs be a lasting legacy. youtu.be/IUK6zjtUj00?...

@bsky.app If you’re going to drive away the very people who use this app, who exactly do you think you’ll have left? Is your goal to kick off everyone who isn’t MAGA? It won’t work, conservatives aren’t going to come here. You’re actively killing your base. Kicking off Sarah Kendzior? Really???!?

THIS IS SO GOOD

At the Día de los Muertos festival in Redwood City today there are a whole bunch of evil orange man piñatas. People REALLY seem to want to hit him in the face with a bat. And they clearly hope to teach their children to hit his face with bats. I love seeing such good parenting. 🥰

FACTS about SNAP: -35% to white people (largest share) -90% to people born in 🇺🇸 -86% to households with kids -70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

Friendly reminder that Slow Horses on AppleTV is ridiculously good fun You know your show is going to be good when you call Mick Jagger in the hopes he might be willing to write a theme song and he immediately says “hell yeah, I’ve read all the books, I love them, I’ve got you.” An absolute banger

Our current 20mph limits on ebikes is an absolute life-threatening nightmare as long as residential speed limits are 25mph. If bikes can’t keep up with traffic on the slowest possible neighborhood roads, then they get hit by those cars or get forced onto the sidewalk where they hit pedestrians.

Trump posting a video of himself dropping a huge shit on America is probably the most accurate public statement he has ever made.

Stopped at Yerba Buena Gardens on our way to No Kings San Francisco, and read our daughter some applicable quotes from MLK Jr there behind the fountain. Let’s go! #NoKings #MaskingIsIconic

other98 If your government says there's too many autistic kids, then eliminates the entire special education department, they don't care about autism, or kids, or education.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Bullies are mocking the founder of antifa’s girlfriend, all because they think she’s made up. She’s real, I swear, she just goes to a different school!

Matt Reeves’ The Batman (2022) is a mislabeled The Crow reboot and not a Batman movie at all. While it’s a poor Batman film, it’s easily the best The Crow film since Brandon Lee died. There. I said it.

8 year old did her very first ninja competition this morning and got a perfect score. (You get one point for each obstacle completed). Best of all, this competition was mostly girls. Finally, a community she can feel a part of. Bad things are happening globally, but good things still happen locally

actually our AI programs are like people so its racist to say you don't like them. anyway would you like to buy one

The only royalty I recognize. Truly a Queen. There are reports of torture, and I fear she may leave this quest mentally and physically scarred. One can only hope that Israel’s pathetic attempts to strike her down will in the end make her more powerful than they can possibly imagine.

Being rude to and refusing to listen to your user base has never worked to grow an app. Encouraging right wing hate mongers has never worked to make your app more approachable. How have CEOs not learned this yet?

Free Speech!* *- limited time offer. Some restrictions apply. After 249 years of America’s existence, this free speech offer will expire, and all speech will become punishable by jack booted thugs at the will of the President

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is

ADHDers to the left of me Autists to the right Here I am, stuck in the middle with you I think there are only about 3 traits on here I DON’T have, and it’s mostly ones that conflict with others on the opposite side that I do have. Not sure if I feel seen or attacked

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Advice needed! Anyone know if kids covid vaccines (she’s age 8) are available in California? They were supposedly approved, and we want her to get it before RFK Jr kills vaccines completely, but I can’t find any information about how to find kids covid vaccines.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

Every Dem candidate for '26 and '28 must, bare minimum, promise the abolishing of ICE and genuine significant punishment for every member of this administration and their collaborators. This isn't a purity test. It's the compromise position.

Private school is expensive. As a product of the public school system, I HATE spending so much $$. But then I see this in my daughter’s classroom and realize that in 2025, private school might be the only safe place for young empathetic human beings. THIS is how you make kids feel safe and included

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive GLOBAL study revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths WORLDWIDE between 2020 and 2024. It reveals that vaccinations didn’t JUST protect against illness. They PRESERVED nearly 15 MILLION years of human life.

I’m REALLY hoping this becomes a Dave (1993) scenario. To the Trump impersonator helping cover up whatever is happening: this is your time to shine.

Are we all picturing small gray ships on trailers being pulled through DC streets? WWII PT Boats, maybe? They’ll be using the phrase “parade float” more literally than I could have ever imagined.

I hope our Canadian friends post when this becomes available so some of us trapped in this anti-science hell hole can try to slip across the border and get vaccinated

We all understand that it’s not the words these awful idiots have a problem with, it is the concepts themselves? It’s not like they’re suggesting better terms they like. When they tell you they want to remove the words, they mean “here is a list of things we do not care about and will not address”.

USA: For the first time in 30 years, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued vaccine guidance that differs from U.S. government advice. "The AAP is “strongly recommending” COVID-19 shots for children 6 months–2 years, while shots for older kids are advised but left to parents."

This is important. We can be intentional with our fire.

We’ve driven over 3500 miles across the United States this summer, and the area outside Portland, OR has been the worst, most racist portion we saw. 30 min north of Portland we got a thumbs down for our pride flag license plate. 60 min west of Portland our pride flag magnet was torn off the truck.
