A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

lol

Canonically, the Minions always work for the most evil people in the world at a given point in time. It is so hilariously unnecessary to make a film that implies they will soon work for Hitler. No one is forcing you to make this movie! Who thought this was a good idea?!

People began hoarding gas cylinders, and in the Delhi area, prices skyrocketed by 600 percent. Some people stood in line for three or four days to get LPG cylinders. With his own supply running low, Kapoor had little choice but to turn to the black market. www.thexylom.com/post/iran-wa...

‘Simply stop giving millionaires water for literally free’ is one of the most insane sounding but actually serious policy solutions out there

Vote Green No Matter Wheen.

Coach K's grandson, driving drunk, hit and killed a teenager. For some reason the headline calls it an "e-bike crash" (the bike isn't what killed him).

truly nobody posts like him

Forbes is gamifying news about the horrific mass shooting in Shreveport, LA this weekend, encouraging readers to bet on the likelihood of gun regulation with fake money via its "ForbesPredict" feature. Eight children were murdered in the shooting. futurism.com/future-socie...

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski: IDF soldiers themselves admit to war crimes. They killed not only civilian Palestinians but even their own hostages.

You don't get a court as corrupt as the Roberts Court without the titular John Roberts being extraordinarily corrupt himself. An awful human being, no ethics and no respect for the law.

Boko Haram is holding 400+ women and children kidnapped from Ngoshe in Borno State and has given Nigeria 72 hours to pay about £2.7 million in ransom, threatening to execute them if the government refuses. Source: The Telegraph

NEW: I found two "news" websites active on X and other platforms—Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News—that are in fact U.S. government-operated anti-Iranian military propaganda mills. Both appear tied to U.S. Central Command. theintercept.com/2026/04/20/p...

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020. She missed these trials by a few months. One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here. I feel such a hole inside. In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

No one tell that lunatic crypto-MAGA Marie Glusenkamp Perez about this...

The Palentir statement on its desired “Technological Republic” is one of the scariest things I have seen in a while. It is a call for a world dominated by an authoritarian U.S., generated by AI (both the statement and the world), run by tech-surveillance companies. Technofascism pure!

NEW: Stories about pardons are often told as stories about presidential power — who had access, who persuaded a president to intervene. But what drew reporter Jeremy Kohler to this story was the people on the other side of that act of grace.

Pennsylvania's auditor general, a Republican, audited 210,000+ new voter registrations under Gov. Shapiro's new motor voter system to see if noncitizens were registering to vote. They found one. One. And that was because a PennDOT staffer erred. It was fixed before the driver left the office.

Jeffrey Epstein for instance told Peter Thiel he would "share the expenses" on his SLAPP lawsuits that bankrupted Gawker awfulannouncing.com/online-outle...

Really surprised that Epstein's New Mexico ranch hasn't gotten more attention.

Palantir should not be allowed to have any government contracts at any level because it is fundamentally opposed to the basic concepts of liberal democracy. gizmodo.com/palantir-pos...

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

What you have to understand is that the United States started a war, almost immediately lost it, then began the laborious process of negotiating against itself, and is now settling into the secondary denial phase …

Translation: they are proposing a bill that says you cannot under any circumstances use a computer for any purpose without allowing the United States government continuous monitoring and a backdoor

Gender should literally just be a common thing that people *should* examine in order to have a fullness of life, even if nothing massively changes. It should be as common as developing a fashion style or a music taste. Deconstruction of societal imprint, no matter how “far” you go, is freedom.

Alleged Hezbollah targets yesterday, this sick scene today, every single person in Lebanon tomorrow. Israel is a rabid dog, the US gives it food and a yard with no fence.

Brutal polling when it comes to public opinion among Democratic voters on the topic of Israel: Source: x.com/forecasteren...

Iran needs to work with China to China-flag their vessels.

100% — economic sentiment polling is not a measurement of underlying economic factors, it's a *fundamental* economic measurement. As basic to the economy as GDP or bond rates or quarterly earnings. Economic sentiment polling is real, it represents objective facts people encounter as labor/consumers.

Iranian source: “In light of Trump's statements about holding negotiations and inconsistency with what is actually happening between Iran and the U.S., we believe we’re facing a deception by the enemy and we’re on the verge of a new round of escalation.”-Al Jazeera

"Each person finds joy in making the most of their relational abilities...without joy there is no renewal; without interiority there is no liberation; without encounter there is no politics; without the other there is no justice." Pope Leo XIV

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

Beshear has got to fire the consultants who told him to make this his big talking point. He has actual accomplishments, ones that would be noteworthy in any state, but he's the governor of KENTUCKY. It's a minor miracle. Instead he does this scolding meta-commentary on word choice. Disappointing.

With those two saboteurs involved this is destined to fail. Kushner and Witkoff are already planning seaside real estate development schemes in Iran.

The problem with centrist Dems is that they don't understand the basis for their own power, and try to kill it.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

I am a gay dad and this is FUCKED UP

Inexplicable livestream of the 90s Chris Elliot sitcom "Get A Life". It's awful.

If you are as infuriated as you read this as I am, know that Congress not only has the power to fix the abuse of the Shadow Docket but also that the legislation is already drafted. We just need to get it to the floor. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
