Also has having two CEOs ever worked?

Aside from blatantly recruiting Nazi stormtroopers, “how are we going to afford student loan forgiveness?!” — where’s the media freakout and pearl-clutching about the price of this?

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

The updated COVID/histamine link thread because people keep tagging me in to explain it and I keep intending to update the post from 2023 (synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/805203.html) and just not having the capacity because of my own health shit so here is a thread I can pin

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time “While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'” www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

what if we kissed at Morioka Station, where the Komachi shinkansen couples to the Hayabusa shinkansen for continuing service to Tokyo

i would be so happy to malicious-compliance this

every time we talk about parental permission in terms of book banning I'm like fuck man. kids have rights too. a 17-year-old should be able to check out books at the library without Mom and Dad stepping in. so should a 10-year-old or 7 or whatever. kids deserve SOME goddamn freedom and privacy

I learned literally yesterday that freeman dyson theorised the dyson sphere as a joke, he was taking the piss out of seti looking for radio waves

Judge:

Disco Elysium is truly the most leftist game of all time, the studio immediately collapsing into bitter infighting demonstrates the depth of its authenticity

There has been a pronounced increase in GOP pessimism about the direction of the country over the last month. This is like Democrats under Biden in 2023 levels of dissatisfaction under a co-partisan president. Independents are more sour on direction than any pt in 2024 apnorc.org/projects/pes...

i'm still reeling from my recent epiphany that the Jimmies Fallon and Kimmel are two different guys

I just called Disney+ to cancel my account and had the most joyful interaction with an operator who was laughing the entire time about how many people had canceled today. I can only imagine how it feels to spend an entire day witnessing how many people want to stop fascism.

The idea that the combined MMR is dangerous but separately the vaccines are fine was created out of whole cloth by Andrew Wakefield, a disgraced former doctor who had a patent on a non-combined version of the MMR. We've known his research was bunk for almost 30 years.

DISNEY: Wins 5 Emmys for ANDOR, a show about resisting fascism ALSO DISNEY: Bends the knee to the federal government and suspends Jimmy Jimmy Kimmel for resisting fascism

I signed the Harper's letter to show I was brave enough to stand up to the left on free speech. But I've decided that I'm not brave enough to stand up to the right about it.

hey so, read this story and this is an incredibly vague piece of reporting i am personally taking with lots of salt before jumping to conclusions instead of trying to explain in one text limited post, a quick thread…

Dr: are you high-risk? Me: absolutely, and to what or whom is up to you

if the democratic party were led by van hollen instead of chuck schumer or hakeem jeffries right now democratic party approval rating would fly through the roof

This is a goody

We talk a lot about how frustrating it must be to teach constitutional law right now, but we are apparently also living in the golden age of interstate compacts, so I guess at least there’s that.

the only trans person even peripherally connected to the kirk shooting has FULLY COOPERATED WITH THE COPS

sooooo how about that Harpers Letter? Or were people more concerned about "uwu im cancel for transphobia" than actual letter of the law violations of the First Amendment by the US government itself?

honestly, kudos to him for this

boy oh boy i hate how relevant this one is becoming

A key tool in detrumpification will be the use of the Hatch Act.

ok they're actually having a solid discussion tho www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

my hobby: reading celebrity obituary headlines and combining them to create New Kinds of Guy. ex: "The Italian designer who led the Mets to victory" (Giorgio Armani x Davey Johnson)

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

one thing which is not obvious to people who have not been following this for a long time is that ABC's largest affiliate, Sinclair, is more insane than Fox News

if you ask Google whether you can buy Benadryl in Japan, it says "no, because diphenhydramine is illegal in Japan", but if you ask the same question in Japanese, it says "yes, you can get it OTC at drugstores"

It's time for eels & contract law! In 1890, Charles Hobbs sued the Massasoit Whip Co. He'd delivered a load of 2k eel skins to the company, but not been paid. Hobbs won, with the court finding that the company's silent acceptance of the shipment constituted purchase of the eels. 🗃️🧪

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Similarly, the 10-year-veteran artist who was working on Ghost of Yotei was fired for posting: "I hope the shooter’s name is Mario so that Luigi knows his bro got his back". She made a gamer joke that's maybe a little off-color but doesn't even have anything to do with politics or Charlie Kirk.
