I've said it before and I'll say it again -- the kids are all right. They've got more courage and moral clarity than most of the people in charge right now. Get out of their way and let them cook.

i feel like this is probably the best time in recent american history to be a criminal because the justice department doesn’t give a shit, it’s too busy going through the president’s burn book www.cnn.com/2026/05/27/p...

Back at it again.

People don't long for "inconvenience." They long for permanence. And though streaming services may be convenient, people are waking up to the fact that we are paying rent-seeking middle men month after month for things we will never actually own.

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

The bigger challenge is we have a handful of sociopaths who can circumvent and undermine democracy. We have no bigger challenge.

Google is transforming Search from something accurate to something inaccurate that hopefully you’ll be more addicted to

Dick Dastardly and Muttley in "The Beerhall Pooch"

Getting closer

We've become numb to this stuff, but a president accusing a journalist of treason -- a capital crime -- for reporting on an ongoing war is not normal, and we should never accept it as normal.

Holy wow: With a week to go, @colbertlateshow.bsky.social is not messing around, taking on the Bari and Tony show directly with tonight’s cold open. This is amazing. youtu.be/jQpqIPBYmDM?...

Also, where is the money to be made here? Less than 2% of the population gets a PhD and grad students are broke as shit. Who is this for?

I honestly thought this was going to go into an explainer after 'how does banning beef ads help reduce climate change' but instead it's C-grade conservative slop. This is what the Post has been reduced to.

😭

"History." Unsurprising.

Neil Gorsuch was on Megyn Kelly’s show today.

Apropos of nothing, the final presentation assignment for my history senior seminar asks students to explain their semester-long research to a popular audience by pitching it as a piece of media.

Apart from the weird bigotry, "meat" versus "leaf" eaters is military lingo for combat versus logistics / support / etc units. Good luck to our future all-combat Navy. I'm sure they'll fight like hell for a couple hours. Well, assuming they ever actually reach the mission.

Happy May Day! This is a great time to watch this three minute puppet film I made last year, which I promise you is topical.

Lot of reactionaries truly believe in their hearts that immigrants and trans kids get the secret good healthcare from companies that love paying for claims.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

“LOOKS LIKE MEAT IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS”

Watching All the President’s Men and Ned Beatty shows Hoffman the Dahlberg check.

You have to be careful bringing Theo Von into an uncontrolled environment like this. The crowd could start chanting anything and he would be convinced of it

The anchor of a CNN Sunday show asking Democrats if it's irresponsible to criticize the president.

I used to work at, then for the last few years ran a comic book and record shop. Hard job, would do it again in a second if money wasn't an issue.

Yoda on a walkie would be a total disaster. Saying “Over” before every message. Get serious

Drop your crime fighting Catholics

Guys, this is the sign of a good, stable industry that's not at all a grift! bsky.app/profile/cfid...

couldn’t have BEEN more clear, don

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

If CBS is reporting this, there’s a good chance someone in the administration wanted to see them run it / hegseths days are numbers

A movie couple who would definitely have a podcast. Yes, I'm cheating. One movie, two very different podcasts.

Trump advisers think the age of imperialism ended because of wokeness, not because 1) colonized peoples made colonialism untenable 2) technology made territorial empire unnecessary. They thought mere brutality and perceived genetic superiority would make wars against countries like Iran easy.

So, which reactionary centrist and/or NYT columnist will be the first to write a pure cope, normalizing column invoking the Nixon madman strategy?

like planet earth, i too look like i have my shit together from an incredible distance

Well, I loved Project Hail Mary.

It's indeed possible to beat bad things backed by big money

If therapists are not subject to any sort of viewpoint discriminatory regulation by the state, then states cannot ban or regulate them from telling minor clients to drink bleach or kill themselves because that would be viewpoint discriminatory.

Finally, a car company thinking about what the consumer really wants. The consumer?

I slept in my Stealers Wheel t-shirt and woke up stuck in the middle with you.

"They tell me the Iranians are doing terrible things with the cyber. Barron, he's a genius with the computer. He could fix all the cyber. All the cyber... But Pete says computers are for the gays, so no cyber in the army for Barron."

Swalwell: "I want to knock out this argument we even need ICE doing what they're doing in the first place. If they are so easily moved from our streets, where they are terrorizing people, to passing out bottles of water in the airport, did we really need them terrorizing people in the first place?"

Wurman says, “spare me the outrage.” Kreis says: stop doing “methodologically bankrupt academic work, or I should say, even pseudo-academic work.”

Just told my program I'd teach my 2008 class again in January. Time to take a big sip of coffee and look at the internet...
