all of this is also true for sexism. you tell me you think women are biologically less smart and i’ll suspect that i could probably convince you to drink your own piss

One of the biggest upsets on Tuesday: Aurora, one of Colorado's largest and more conservative-leaning cities, has swung to progressives. The conservative mayor, Mike Coffman (who you may recall from his time in Congress), says he is 'stunned.' www.coloradopolitics.com/2025/11/05/c...

my roommate made me make this, saying it would be hilarious

I still remember my anthropology professor’s favorite joke from college: “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.”

can’t tonight i have plans

What a banger

Here is a fairly accurate immediate commentary that is, at the same time, implicitly one of my worst long term predictions youtu.be/zjCk6O8pEXo?...

This is in Puerto Rico btw

If I trusted him more, I would agree. He isn't giving up anything new, he's making his party look reasonable, and a deal in the Senate would mean the House has to come back into session to vote on it, which has other knock-on effects. It's just that, because it's him, eh. It feels off.

The diagram for what Palantir does is like if Richard Scarry got super paranoid and did an Apocalypse picture book

Things Can Only Get Better?

I'm tired of the Mueller She Wrote theories of dem leadership. Just because Schumer doesn't believe the GOP will take this doesn't excuse the very explicit and obvious negative space that has been in these negotiations. Our largest metros are under constant terror and he's only asking for ACA.

I suppose if you knew the offer was going to be rejected it might be good politics?

I just discovered my perfect drag name is taken

democrats, if bill kristol is to your left, you’re doing it wrong, and you will be primaried

virtue signalling is good actually

These people drove around my block all morning asking every brown person for their papers. They've fucking stormed a day care and took a teacher. Somebody starts beating somebody on the ground in front of a school, you think Miles Morales or Peter Parker is gonna be good with that?

One must imagine Charlie Brown happy

We always say it is the Heron moment that matters and that the perfect Heron photo is mere icing on the cake 🎂 💙💦

It's the thought that counts. The Istanbul State Prosecutor has issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and other Israeli ministers. This is not a decision that office would take on their own. It comes from the palace.

The member of the Scottish parliament for Shetland has lodged a complaint in Holyrood over the depiction of fair isle knitting in the UK’s new competitive knitting show, which debuted this week with a controversial tank top challenge and steek-related dismissal.

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

AND HE WAS LIKE, BUT NOT MY FACE, RIGHT? AND I WAS LIKE WELL IT'S A FACE, SO

Lol, imagine thinking you could simply restart investment after crashing the construction sector and holding back loads of work. Fafo.

This is a great deal for Republicans, since it would push the ACA cost hikes until after the midterms. On a purely political calculus, would be malpractice not to take this.

Forever Charlie Brown trying to kick a football.

My fav thing about the Mary Celeste is not that she was a ghost ship but that she survived the entire crew vanishing unscathed, was recovered and sold off and then subsequently deliberately sank off the coast of Haiti because the captain was running an insurance scam

It's important to remember that transphobia is not only unpopular politically but is also an incredibly annoying character trait that poisons someone's brain into thinking saying weird shit about kids to other moms is Praxis, and if they leave that means you Won Praxis

9 ... capable of voting with the interests of the whole community in their heart. The Ancient Greeks (ironically, a curriculum favourite of the right) even had a word for those who secluded themselves from the community and the common good, and only voted for their own narrow interest.

Oh, BTW. I'm being sued for 25 million. Gee, I hope they don't seize my bicycle to satisfy the debt

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Kinda wild to think about how this happened 25 years ago but Gore is still younger than Trump is

The desire for Lore is how you get "the Space Jockey from Alien is part of a race called Engineers who made all life on Earth and they don't like humans any more because they killed Jesus who is half Engineer."

lolllll

a message for you rudy (turn moderation of rude tag to off)

I'm not sure we can beat the reaction I just got irl but just in case: I am siblings with @christinahood.bsky.social and @thoughtfulned.bsky.social

Trans people exist. Nonbinary people exist. Gender and sex and biology are wonderful chaotic messes. And the biggest threat to cis women's safety and dignity in 2025 is the globally coordinated far right movement which seeks to Handmaid's Tale us all Refuse to be divided.

If Wellingtonians want to catch a sweet little musical about local supernatural creatures that's also made up on the spot, one more chance bats.co.nz/whats-on/son...

"why don't Australians care about local council as much as a NYC mayoral election?" Australian local government: jade.io/article/1162...

Not always a fan of the whittakers novelty flavours but this is genuinely great. The brandy snap bits are like half way between toffee and cookie pieces and do indeed taste just like brandy snaps.

The only thing I care about in a president for 2028 is holding every one of these people accountable under the law in the harshest manner possible. Anything short of that is a waste of time.

During the sandwich guy proceedings, I kept thinking about the Galaxy Quest guns.

Google plans to build a large artificial intelligence data centre on Australia’s remote Indian Ocean outpost of Christmas Island after signing a cloud deal with the Department of Defence this year, according to documents reviewed by Reuters and interviews with officials www.afr.com/technology/g...

“You mousepad” is the most devastating insult I’ve ever heard in my life
