lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

If he’s not constantly angry and getting angrier he dies, Asha. It’s like a personality-disordered shark.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

The Onion’s Exclusive Interview With Gregory Bovino https://theonion.com/the-onions-exclusive-interview-with-gregory-bovino/

They say we live in a bubble when there is a dude so fully ensconced in podcasts, twitter, group chats, and stimulants that he thought he could dress like a literal Nazi and start shooting people in the street and be remembered as a hero These people live in a shrinking and dying parallel universe

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end. I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

You can tell things are going well in America because accounts with names like MovieTVFunZone are posting things like, "THE PIGS ARE KIDNAPPING CHILDREN AND PRIESTS. THE TREE OF LIBERTY DEMANDS TO BE WATERED"

This is the way. Any 2028 Dem candidates need to start saying that on Day One: (1) all ICE agents fired; (2) pensions/benefits defunded; (3) forced to pay backpay as restitution to victims; and (4) only way to avoid prison is to become a cooperating informant

now - especially now - a reminder that we are going to win. and this is why

the knitters too. this is the top pattern on ravelry right now

Aglais io, commonly known as the European peacock, is a colourful butterfly in the family Nymphalidae, found in Europe and temperate Asia as far east as Japan.

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂

I have written self-tests for the Python test generator and added tests to the Go tests. Folks, I can confirm we got all the edge cases! 💥 🥳 Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to the > 8,500(!) cores. I would like to credit you, so either reply or DM me your name/handle, if you'd like.

Do you have an idle cluster? Can you spare a couple core-years? Help me bruteforce some test vectors for RSA key generation edge cases! Here are the instructions, it's just a matter of running a single self-contained cross-compilable Go binary that will report the results autonomously.

My complaint about people calling the press conference a Ceaușescu moment is that it gets my hopes up and then dashes them, like when you fake-throw a tennis ball for a golden retriever.

I'm gonna be honest, I think "Venezuela stole the oil in the ground in Venezuela from the US" is going to be a hard sell even for the faithful

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

The McClure Tunnel is a tunnel in Santa Monica, California, which connects Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1) with the western terminus of the Santa Monica Freeway (Interstate 10). It is long.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

The Basilica of Superga is a hilltop Catholic basilica in Superga, in the vicinity of Turin, Italy. It was built from 1717 to 1731 for Victor Amadeus II, the duke of Savoy and future king of Sicily, to a design by Filippo Juvarra.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

The white-lipped tree frog (Nyctimystes infrafrenatus) is a species of tree frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae of the family Hylidae.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

I am playing D&D with five friends via Zoom and we’re all in our fifties and my young teen self knowing this would be happening would be so happy and satisfied.

AI Mecha Hitler Promises Brain Implant Allowing Billionaires to Chug Ultimate Hog is about all you need to know about the tech industry in 2025

Incredible headline.

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

graphic design so good you can feel it

I feel like the pope being an American cinephile is God finally rewarding Scorsese for a lifetime of devotion

Operation Strapping Manservant

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

A cautionary tale for arguing online:

a “Space Force”, if you will

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

The large milkweed bug (Oncopeltus fasciatus) is a medium-sized hemipteran (true bug) in the family Lygaeidae. It is distributed throughout North America, from Central America through Mexico, the Caribbean and the United States, to southern Canada.

Trading places with Elon would be like waking up as a cockroach and the worst part is that you would have traded away your knowledge of Kafka and the literary grounding to make sense of said experience.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
