[reading a book in first person] i dont remember doing any of this

It's this little gem and it's not up for debate

In case you were wondering: Yes, there is a Jonathan the Great Tortoise angle to the Pam Bondi firing news.

if I got to space and they told me I had to check emails I'd cry

Rep. Pat Ryan: "I was on the phone yesterday with a mom of a an Air Force airman deployed in the region before the speech and imagine her watching this hoping for some real news. 'Maybe my son is coming home or at least there is a plan and a strategy.' We got none of that. It's infuriating."

Getting to see @atrupar.com multitask clipping the Trump speech while watching the Twins lose; impressive.

We saw Springsteen in Minneapolis tonight, the kickoff of his tour. Like a giant revival meeting. Explicitly and constantly anti-fascist. Tom Morello of RATM in the nearly 20-piece band. Covered Purple Rain (very well) towards the end. He’s corny, a total mensch, and the fittest 76 year old ever.

I'm reminded of the time I saw a scientific paper that officially proved that people look more attractive when you're drunk: look, SOMEONE has to go out there and do the actual research to prove what we all knew already

I think the Supreme Court is going to rule against Trump's attack on birthright citizenship 7-2.

Barrett asks Sauer a series of questions demonstrating how unworkable and arbitrary the Trump administration's revisionist theory of birthright citizenship would prove in practice. Sauer keeps veering to policy and Barrett keeps trying to direct him back to the Constitution.

oh holy shit come on. a literal toddler would have known to expect this question from gorsuch

native americans determined to not be birthright citizens; deported back to america

This movement has never been about violent criminal aliens, undocumented immigrants writ large, or even immigration in general, but about the country’s changing ethnic and religious makeup. It has always been about white Christian nationalism.

With Roki Sasaki, Shohei Ohtani & Yoshinobu Yamamoto starting the next 3 for the Dodgers, this will be the first time in MLB history that a team will start a Japanese-born pitcher in three straight games h/t @EliasSports

Why does the media continue to use the word "Millennial" as code for "young person"? That's not what it means. It's literally in the name. A Millennial is someone at least a thousand years old.

Walz: We will never leave the side of our Somali Minnesotans. Here's our pledge to you, our Somali Minnesotans, your great grandchildren will still be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.

Omg a Kat burglar

cool i think i'm an NBA starting center

I think about this tweet more and more each day

We’re building the Manhattan-side bike lane and pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge in time for the World Cup. New Yorkers deserve to enjoy the game on their feet, on their bikes, and with ease.

Ezra Klein: I'm Ezra Klein, and today I'm joined by one of the foremost intellectual theorists of Trumpism. He is an associate editor at the Rancho Cucamonga Review of Ideas and a fellow at the Schlafly Institute of Punitive Economics. [a baked potato in a top hat]: Thanks for having me, Ezra.

Other contenders for the Great American Theatre Novel, in my opinion: Edna Ferber’s ‘Show Boat;’ Sinclair Lewis’s ‘Bethel Merriday;’ James Baldwin’s ‘Tell Me How Long the Train’s Been Gone.’

I feel more nervous living 6 hours from Idaho than I ever felt living 30 minutes from Mexico.

One person in this photo deserves a 20% WNBA revenue share and it’s not me. Congratulations to the WNBPA on their historic labor agreement.

When people ask me about restoring trust in higher ed, there's a reason I bring up presidents calling the police on their students and how I find it curious those students' trust is never a concern

oh shit oh fuck I don't have nearly enough Robux to bribe these ICE agents.

This is the crux of the issue. Literally nobody is going to tell you off for eg liking Monty Python, even though Cleese and Gilliam are both now bigots. Because they're not singlehandedly funding a genocide.

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

kudos to Jack in Silver Spring MD, surely on Bluesky

Got his ass

Dreams DO come true: my photo of the ICE teens spread so far divorced of context or credit that Snopes dot com had to write a whole story confirming that I didn't make it with AI. 🥲

This version of 'Kokomo' is rubbish.

This is what a vampire looking at a classroom would say.

by @atrupar.com @thorbenson.bsky.social 1/2 “While calling out Trump’s crazed condition has the virtue of being true, it runs the risk of making reporters seem like partisans who are unfair to the president & thus unworthy of access. As a result, White House journalists too often opt for timidity..

As time has gone on I've realized there is a still quite small but now non-trivial chance that the entire Iran War is simply an insider trading operation, creating repeated black swan moments and relying on markets continued willingness to gyrate wildly in the face of absurd and predictably ...

what’s going to happen if they actually do this in any real numbers is that a lot of folks are going to be harassed or groped in a way they have never encountered before just because they went to the airport and that’s something that really sticks with you

It’s wild because all half these bamas needed was just for their daddies to hug them. This entire administration is engaged in “no positive male role models” behavior. Especially that little weird one in the VP chair.

inhales a sleeve of thin mints then rubs the crumbs on my gums

I've decided to go back to biting people full time.

Mueller chose to go to Vietnam after his college classmate died in combat. Trump chose to evade the draft.

jim jones had a 100% approval rating from all those people who drank the koolaid too

Authoritarians always require both of these things to be true: That The Enemy is weak and easily crushed by the might of The Leader. AND That The Enemy is strong, at or already inside the gates, and that you must sacrifice your freedom to The Leader to increase His might to stop them.

joni “everybody dies” ernst

The year is 2046: A group of masked TrumpCorp officials shoot protestors at the health casino. A reporter from FreePressWithCBS asks Don Jr's VP for life JD Vance about the shooting: "Unfortunately, this, is a problem we inherited from the Biden administration"

This evening will be Mourning Noonan Night :(

I just slept for six consecutive hours for the first time in decades and now I can see the atoms moving in solid objects good god I’m immortal
