A lady just turned to her barking dog and said “can you even hear yourself?” in a withering voice

Ok there's a lot of incorrect information going around on this, so I want to be clear that the problem with the Big 3 and EV's isn't that the Big 3 didn't want to make EV's. The problem, as with so many things, is Trump. I'm gonna do a little thread on this because people don't seem to be aware. 1/x

It's 2030. The House is frozen at 217 seats that are over D +15 and 217 seats that are locked at over R +15. There is a single competitive seat in Iowa. Both parties spend $20 billion on it.

Getting AI to read to your kids is crazy. Don’t you want to do the voices???

A Project Paperclip for the senate. 😓

About five hours into Elon Musk’s testimony, I typed the following sentence into my notes: “I have never been more sympathetic to Sam Altman in my life.” www.theverge.com/tech/921022/...

To trick you into admitting the truth, my guy.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

Comey’s desk should have an inbox, an outbox, and a third one for indictments.

Judge Leon should bring counsel into the courtroom for some questioning by his clerk:

I’m pretty sure some people I interact with on Bluesky use pseudonymous usernames and I’ve forgotten that I know them AFK.

NSC: The death of Iran’s senior leadership has made it immune to foreign pressure in negotiations, Sir. Trump: Two can play at that game!

This is so terrible. The third country removals are human rights catastrophes; South Americans fleeing persecution in their homes, then being dumped in Kinshasa and told they can’t stay and must go… somewhere. Preferably right back to where they fled.

In about two weeks, I’ll receive 57 exams to grade. This wouldn’t happen if I had a ballroom.

We live in an ever-increasingly statist nation that requires a reconstruction unlike anything that’s been seen since 1932 and 1860.

IMO reveling in hate is grotesque, but so is refusing to hate things that need hating.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Amateurs talk about thigmotactics; experts study thigmologistics.

This is the future liberals want.

lol the shooter has a BLUE SKY ACCOUNT, well here’s one excuse that won’t work:

In give it about three weeks before Trump posts that Pope Leo needs to hand over the Spear of Longinus so the US Navy can reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The White House doesn’t have a Skull-Shaped Island Lair (No Taxpayer Money!), which Presidents have desperately wanted and desired for over 150 years, a safe and secure Soul Receptacle that Death itself cannot breach and that will allow our Glorious Leader to rule for 10,000 Years.

This is why Bluesky should have kept the site invite only.

When I’m too drunk to remember the word “ravioli.”

Manifestos are graded on a curve and this still gets a “see me after class.”

The shooter’s account could have been my alt.

Video game guy thought he was going to John Wick his way to the boss fight.

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

Yeah, something like this has to be the real answer. The President can't sue an agency he currently controls, it's ridiculous.

the chief consequence of the internet has been to make it almost impossible to disabuse people of any belief they find it enjoyable or validating or cathartic to hold, which makes ideologues and partisans much crazier, but also exposes a lot of subterranean tendencies of the public consciousness

The ADL permanently sacrificed its reputation to get in good with a massively dangerous antisemite and white nationalist. They defended him and stood up for him even after his Nazi salute. Here's how he repays them. This is what happens when you think you're using bigots. They're always using you.

“Regrettably for Mr. Dosio, one of the elephants was a Make-A-Wish recipient.” www.dailymail.com/news/article...

Blow it up like the whale.

This is straight up, Nazi "dual state" shit. If a naturalized citizen commits a crime, we have mechanisms in place to hold them accountable. It's called the legal system and it applies to all of us. This extra targeting of only *some* people accused of crimes is part of a broader, expulsive project.

The next administration must make clear that any immigrant, refugee, or asylum seeker wrongly deported, exiled, or otherwise mistreated by this administration will be readmitted with an expedited path to citizenship. Send a plane to get them. We can't undo the damage. But we can do something.

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

@nytimes.com can’t stop fawning over Nazis. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/o...

Can someone with a philosophy PhD explain this joke to me?

Lawyer (looks up from computer, pinches bridge of nose): The sexual harassment policy is just the word “yes?”

Me when we pack SCOTUS and tear up all the Trump pardons:

It was too on the nose for an admiral named “felon” to oversee our murder campaign against fisherman. Please welcome Admiral Carl H. Worgkreim.

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you will know I am an AI skeptic. But for the lawyers, much to my surprise, I have discovered some genuinely helpful use cases that I will share here: 1. Upload your brief and ask it to find typos. It’s incredibly good at that.

As part of the restoration of the rule of law, every lawyer in the Trump admin who touched this file needs to go to jail. Sanctions and disbarment are what you do for private abuses of the legal system. Abusing the government power of criminal indictment is another matter, and they keep doing it.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

how it feels to say "sprezzatura"
