this feels like vintage internet. just discovered a wordpress blog called "Pre-Digital Railfan - Train Watching In The Age of Kodachrome". It is full of incredible slides of vintage trains, shot by PNW native Lindsay Korst (including this shot). it's so good, go check it out pdrailfan1.wordpress.com

I have such mixed feelings about @postoctobrist.bsky.social being screenshotted and shared by the general public. You should have to listen to roughly 600 hours of podcasts to develop the necessary parasocial relationship to repost her

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Watching the Muppet Movie for the first time since I was a kid, thinking "damn this is like a Mel Brooks movie with puppets" when they do the bit putting the screenplay in the movie, like two minutes later Mel Brooks appears

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.

call me a lego the way i'm a brick full of plastic

Viral coffee hole

these “christian nationalists” aren’t afraid enough of hell

the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.

it’s kinda depressing how every trans person knows that the TA was specifically targeted for being trans and most cis people will never hear about it because most news at most mention that she is trans in passing

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

in statement abt sentencing of Dallas Humber — neo-Nazi voice of Terrorgram who encouraged mass shootings — DOJ says case proves it "can & will find these criminals..." but it was antifascists/antifa — WHO THE DOJ IS ACTIVELY TARGETING — that found & exposed Humber www.justice.gov/opa/pr/leade...

it’s so funny that you can just get a small animal and put it inside your house

The original cache of DataSet 8 (with the incorrectly redacted files) has been added to @ddosecrets.com

lol. lmao.

DHS needs to get nuked from orbit

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Remember, Marsha Blackburn introduced KOSA to “stop the transgender in our culture.” KOSA is a tool to bludgeon free expression and erase LGTBQ people. It is not about kids safety at all.

Was at a Christmas party with a load of clergy last night and as some people were leaving they found a person collapsed on the street outside so the Verger took over and called an ambulance and sent all the clergy away because "if they wake up surrounded by priests that'll just make things worse"

please generate an affecting painting of war in cubist style, sad war painting, battle of guernica, in the style of Picasso, honkers if you can fit them in, guernica tragedy, big honkers, iconic cubism, Picasso guernica, add girls with big honkers, trending on artstation

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Ah I'm starting to see why they pulled it back

Fortunately, the smartest and most spiteful centrist Dems have been assuring me that we don't need purity tests

Everything is working smoothly, I see.

So the ultimate goal was indeed met, Mel Curth was targeted by a right wing grifter, had a phony grievance ginned up against her, and has lost her job, interrupting her education and career, solely because she's a trans woman, and another instructor was dismissed for supporting Mel.

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable. every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

I'm worried that the response from government (majority or opposition) is going to be, if anything, shock horror that this massively invasive spynet is poorly-secured. Because we know that they're perfectly okay with the massively invasive spynet!

i think coming out as trans, getting a book deal for my third book, and turning in my first draft on time makes this a productive year overall

Maybe the Dems shouldn't keep trying to suck off Republicans if they want Dem voters to show up

Aw damn gang bad news...

Right now there is a proposed bill requiring insurance, registration and a license to ride ANY e-bike in NJ, including low speed e-bikes that go under 20mph. This bill lumps all low speed e-bikes with higher speed devices under the term “motorized bicycles” and eliminates the

If Bari Weiss's goal was to ensure that people are actually interested in watching 60 Minutes again, she has succeeded beyond her wildest imagination.

I wrote much less this year than I've written in the past five, so there's not a whole lot to revisit. This piece, though, I still think is probably the best article I've ever written, even if it was a dumb professional move to write it [free to read] www.patreon.com/posts/empero...

Absolutely dying that like, 10% of their scandals are like “whoa whoa whoa, I thought we all signed a contract that says we’re doing the racism to everyone except me”

Similarly, BYD's naming conventions are also terrible. There's like six different cars all about the same size (small to midsized) that have the name "Seal" Seal EV Seal 06 DM-i Seal 05 Seal 07 DM-i Seal 07 EV Seal 06 EV (which isn't the same as the Seal EV!) Seal 6 EV (Malaysia only? Idk)

I recently asked someone "Are Chinese consumers confused by these naming conventions? If I lived here and didn't know much about cars, a BYD dealer would be so confusing," And they were just kinda like "yeah, kinda...."

a recorded and shared version of the 60 minutes story that was spiked for being too unflattering to the regime

“Flock's ambitions go far beyond license-plate surveillance,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @404Media.co. “Flock's goal isn't to catch stolen cars, their goal is to have total surveillance of everyone all the time." www.404media.co/flock-expos...

Members of my family like to tease me about the fact that I don’t believe in hitting kids, but guess what? Nobody plays that mess in front of me. Every kid I know is safer in my presence. You can make fun of me all you want if you’re still gonna give me what I’m looking for. I’ll take it.

Santa Claus and the grinch have the same donors. Open your eyes

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it
