"Onneksi on kansalaisyhteiskunta, joka ei tyydy ahdistumaan vaan toimii. Tuore digitaalista itsenäisyyttä vaativa kansalaisaloite painostaa poliitikkoja toimintaan."

We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

"Todenmukaiset kuvat tuotantoeläintiloilta taas näyttävät haavat ja kärsimyksen. Ne kuvataan salaa, usein yöllä. Kuvaamisesta rangaistaan, kuvien levittämistä paheksutaan ja niiden uskottavuutta kyseenalaistetaan."

how we got here

American politics is a seesaw driven by the biggest dipshits you’ve ever met it’s just this comic over and over and over again, forever

it really can't be said enough that this is a person who has dined with the president of the united states

Ominous bird valentines.

"On suorastaan kafkamaista tulkita harrastus yritystoiminnaksi ja sitten rankaista sen kannattamattomuudesta."

A female Hooded Merganser communicating a message to a male Hooded Merganser. I think she wanted to go for a walk, because soon after this they were strolling along the icy shoreline together.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

The Atlantic’s profile of Bondi has some wow. @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

“They’re coming to get us!” *shots fired, object falls* “Thank goodness we defeated our nation’s worst enemy, Timmy’s 5th birthday.”

"Reuters-instituutin raportin mukaan vain hieman useampi kuin joka kolmas mediapomoista luottaa journalismin näkymiin tänä vuonna. Samalla he korostavat, että huolellisesti tehdyllä laatujournalismilla on nyt viimeiset hetket erottua tekoälyllä tehtaillusta ryönästä."

"yes, I did take my kids to the pedophile island, which I previously lied about publicly and you should not read into that. I mean come on guys, it's not like I LEFT them there"

A Black-capped Chickadee perches along the nature trail on a dock plant, waiting for sunflower seeds and peanuts to be offered. These little cuties hide thousands of food items to get them through the cold months.

It would be great if the top two stories about the executive branch were not a huge multinational child rape coverup and the establishment of a gulag of concentration camps

Green Day: “don’t wanna be an American Idiot” Page Six:

You're laughing? The team that lends their plane for deportation flights and whose owner is best pals with Trump got utterly humiliated in front of a hundred million viewers, and you're laughing?

the thing i'm waiting for with the ai romance novel lady is for another scammer to figure out that purely ai-generated material w no human authorship is generally not considered to be protected by copyright in the US rn, and saving themselves the 45 mins per book by reselling hers

in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com

The radical and unrealistic position of "no concentration camps" The reasonable moderate position of "some concentration camps in certain circumstances"

this may be the single most insufferable thing about the radical centrist caucus - not just extending good faith to obviously bad faith people but demanding everyone else do the same and chiding them when they don’t

Seeing albatrosses with a person has a distinct unreal vibe. They are not conforming to our normal bird size expectations.

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

Starting to think these weren’t really applied with the consideration required by law

and coming up next at the national prayer breakfast we have this golden calf that we’re all worshiping now, lets get those hands in the air for the golden calf everybody

The Struggles Of Elon Musk 😔

Kannatettava aloite, allekirjoitin!

A Brown Creeper spiraling his/her way upward. These birds prefer to forage for insects on trees with rough bark.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

Perkasimme Suomen suurimpien sotefirmojen verovastuullisuuden. Soteyhtiöt ovat selvityksemme mukaan luopuneet kansainvälisestä aggressiivisesta verosuunnittelusta. Nyt veroja vältellään henkilöstörahastoilla ja muuntamalla ansiotuloja osingoiksi.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy. www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-how...

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

I'm gonna become the first guy to walk out of family court sentenced to death

Sorry, y’all, it’s DEI Settlement now

I love that Prince Andrew had a codename email address to avoid suspicion and all the emails are like 'Had to spend the weekend at Balmoral, Mother wants me to look after the corgis, my brother's here too - not Edward, but Charles, you know the heir apparent.'

I can officially confirm that the snow in NC is roughly one (1) corgi deep

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)
