Every single part of this is beautiful.

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Jacobin continuing its proud tradition of carrying water for MAGA.

Oh. So they killed a bunch of Venezuelans to egg Venezuela into responding. So they could help justify the war they're about to start. An administration of criminals, top to bottom.

You know by "reality in all its fullness" he means racism, with a dash of anti-feminist, anti-trans spice.

Every once in a while New York City really delivers.

That a group of powerful cranks, crypto-eugenicists, and anti-vaxxers have embraced organic food should not drive people to ignore the benefits of organic foods. Are they a panacea? No. But they are better for farm workers, the soil, and consumers: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

The New York Times always provides the laughs.

"It's not illegal, it's our job" is such incredibly weak tea under the circumstances. No one has more of a compliance mindset than an elected Democrat.

So many layers of vileness here, starting with the off-the-charts smarminess of that person's look in the photo.

Cromwell looks like he's half lion.

Now that we have a palpable and immediate analog, it's good for the rest of the country to understand that the shitshow within the federal bureaucracy is 2 or 3 times the order of magnitude of what the White House team has so far done with global trade regime/equities markets.

It was obvious from basically day 1 that they'd move to strip funding from courts that disagreed with them: www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Notice the lack of receipts here.

A good test of whether X or Y constitutes "bad writing" is to ask yourself how often Virginia Woolf did it. And in the case of beginning sentences with "and" or "but," she did it a lot.

@washingtonpost.com They were not DEPORTED. Deported means sending them back to their country of origin. These people were sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, without any due process or any analysis as to whether they feared harm in El Salvador!

The only alternative to Democrats are Russian ops. This is a meaningless complaint.

republicans like it when pedestrians and cyclists die! they think walking or cycling are unusual, aberrant behavior that gets in the way of drivers and should be discouraged and punished with violence by motorists.

Not a dime ever again @nature.org

Do all people identified as The Really Important Democrats get daily trainings in fake reasonableness?

Part of the madness of Trumpworld that, in every particular, they are horrible on substance and on style.

the idea that these tech guys are opposed to "government waste" is so completely fucking ridiculous. they feast on government waste. DOD budgets are a bloated mess. the pentagon has failed 7 straight audits. the big beneficiaries are tech companies providing defense services.

All they needed to do was reduce voter enthusiasm, which they did, and now ethnic cleansing is the open policy of the US. Congrats!

For "One First," I wrote about Monday's OMB memo purporting to (temporarily) freeze billions of dollars of appropriated federal spending—and why it constitutes both unconstitutional and unlawful "impoundment" that's unlikely to be upheld by even *this* #SCOTUS: www.stevevladeck.com/p/120-the-im...

I know a decent number of people who work for the federal government and every single one of them was quietly dotting every semi-permanent i and crossing every long-lasting t before the cruelty factory started back up.

The next four years will include a lot of supposed liberals trying to feed NPR listeners fascism-friendly dog food.

Neil Gaiman's statement is basically a cut-and-paste job from Matt Lauer's in 2017. I would bet Gaiman's is just as truthful.

I'm glad the @publicdomainrev.bsky.social decided to make the internet good again since everyone else seems hell-bent on destroying it. This is the only webpage anyone needs: pdimagearchive.org/galleries/th...

As someone who lived in New York City and Seattle in the late '80s and early '90s, I can testify that there were very few coffee shops in both places. Obviously, there were plenty of places to buy coffee but even in the mid-1990s, espresso-based drinks were very hard to find in New York City.

And you--you small-brained littles pretending to be our big media equals--should've listened to us the whole time for this is exactly how we said it would be.

I suppose this is a churlish time to remind people that William S. Burroughs killed his wife and Allen Ginsberg raped ("slept with") children? Really don't understand why people get the warm and fuzzies talking about either of them as people, much as I feel the pull of their art.

The benefit of going after people who obscure their plates is that it would overwhelmingly hit cops.

My basic social message is, "I want to hear about anything you love wholeheartedly."

Branding this account as "images of really long index fingers before 1700." Obviously a Poochie-level sell out but those bills won't pay themselves

Gobsmacking report on a Mississippi police department essentially turning their town into a kind of abuse factory to attack Black residents, with additional harassment meted out for Black women. An absolute horror show.

Easily the worst Photoshop work since 2014. AI seems preferable to this absolute dice throw of head sizes, lighting, and actual-age-versus-age-when-headshot-taken.

His index finger is 8 inches long. (Still amazing. Just funny how hard it is to draw hands.)

Try to find a bad Joan Mitchell painting. Simply can't be done.

The crappy human beings that dominate middle-aged Gen X manhood were, I'm sorry to report, rotten teens and young adults as well. Growing up in a reactionary time, full of active racism and homophobia, will do that to you.

"People who supported the president's re-election now support the vice president's." Truly, the hypocrisy of these cretins is without peer.
