American Idiot playing on Super Bowl Sunday at this precise moment in American history is surreal. Here's to us not letting the point sail over our heads. #SuperBowlLX

Allow me to regale you with some Welsh names for animals… 1. Ladybird = buwch goch gwta “short red cow” 2. Otter = dyfrgi or “waterdog” 3. Hamster = bochdew or “fat cheeks” 4. Jellyfish = cont y môr or “sea c*nt” 5. Caterpillar = Siani flewog or “hairy Jane”

The killing of our princes, the killing of their children, the killing of our chiefs, the punishment of our children in schools for speaking their own language. The list is endless ✍️Stephen Price

Second time in 3 days I’m posting this Vonnegut quote wrt AI.

Sure Bayern won 5-1 over Hoffenheim, but at least they didn’t have their stepovers go wrong like Lennart Karl’s attempt. 👍🏼

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

This is an astounding performance and unfortunately way too on point with current events

JD Vance is the most loathsome character in American politics, and it's mostly because he's immediately recognizable to anyone with an interest in politics as The Worst Guy From Your PoliSci Class

"This change is just the nail in the coffin of a carefully calculated plan to turn the United States into the tin-pot dictatorship of my dreams. It’s definitely not because I’m scared of any investigations that the DOJ’s antitrust division may or may not launch." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/dem...

under different circumstances this is congressional-inquiry level scandal

This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):

Too many of our Haitian neighbors are stuck in legal limbo. As the fight over Temporary Protected Status continues, we encourage anyone with TPS to use the city’s free immigration legal support and explore every legal pathway available. Call 800-354-0365 to learn more.

What DC Landmarks Will Trump Destroy Next?

My current cozy little hobby is reading up on the Nuremberg trials. One of the key things they did was use Nazi officials' braggadocious speeches as evidence. Give a speech taking credit for annexing Austria? Ok, that'll be a conviction for annexing Austria.

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50 Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

This was the single lowest month of homicides in New York City on record...ever.

ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so” www.islipforward.org

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

I remain comfortable with my choice to have absolutely nothing to do with this technology. When the algorithms feeding on each other's outputs start disrupting stuff in the real world, I'm just going to sit back and say I told you so.

This judge does the thing quoting the Declaration of Independence at the Trump regime then adds for good measure: "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power & the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds & are bereft of human decency."

Holy shit. So this just happened at Minneapolis's legendary First Avenue club. That's Tom Morello introducing Springsteen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jHe...

my latest for @mcsweeneys.net fuck ICE and every iteration of the value system that made it possible. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/im-...

For Liam.

Not to be confused with all those humane internment camps you hear about.

I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.

Well that’s an Arsenal stat of the year.

Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

“Minnesotans’ relentlessness offers a blueprint for how to react when ICE inevitably arrives to stir up trouble where there was none; how to look violence dead in the eye and say not in my town; how to provide aid laterally when you know those at the top won’t be passing any down.” My latest—

This saturday in Milan, Italy. Against ICE in Milan during the Winter Olympic Games

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

The Episcopal Church has put together a very impressive toolkit for protesting, including tips for clergy in particular. Truly inspiring. This is how Christians ought to be engaging the moment. www.episcopalchurch.org/protesting-f...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

REPUBLICAN @SenThomTillis rips Noem & Stephen Miller — He says @KristiNoem is ignoring her job and the Trump regime isn’t helping Americans with disaster relief, and Stephen Miller “never fails to live up to my expectations of incompetence” (From CNN)

Appreciate @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social description here of how cold it was in Minneapolis. You can't really understand how huge of a moral victory January 23 was until you realize how painful it was to be outside.

"Senator Chuck Grassley, a lifelong Iowan, has served on the Senate Judiciary Committee since 1981, when he was first sworn into the U.S. Senate." www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/chair He questioned and voted on every single justice on the U.S. Supreme Court during their confirmation hearings.

JD Vance's strategy for succeeding Trump as head of the MAGA movement is predicated on retaining and exciting the support of violent Nazis all around the US. That's what makes his Holocaust commemoration so unique.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

I post this link merely as a cultural curiosity and not so that anyone could print one if, say, whistles were banned. Obviously that would be wrong.

"There’s an extremely hurtful narrative going around that my product, a revolutionary new technology that exists to scam the elderly and make you distrust anything you see online, is harmful to society."

Report from a user calling the Augusta office of Senator Susan Collins... If you're a Mainer calling Collins, maybe add that her staff shouldn't be arguing with a constituent. Or calling them a fucking bitch.

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

finally a good dating app

There's not going to be a White House press event about this. There's not going to be a media blitz about "domestic terrorism" around this incident. No one in the administration will tweet about this. All because white supremacist violence is encouraged by the state.
