new conspiracy theory: Trump started the war to get out of going to his son's wedding

adaline & hank are marketing geniuses. i had absolutely no intention of purchasing farm fresh eggs from the cheese shop but the packaging is just too good. i hope they were fairly compensated for their labor.

This is like 90% of American politics now, rich assholes who have no interest in progressive outcomes pretending progressive policies aren’t progressive enough.

saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)

MPD does this every year and it’s literally a policy to surveil and police the Blackest parts of the city without concern for any constitutional protections.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

really not sure why this O Brother Where Art Thou remake is set in Ancient Greece

I’m here for it

i just had the most cursed thought upon seeing this and i am going to take that to the group chat and log off

In simpler terms, aluminum helps vaccines work better and more efficiently. The study has been published in Annals of Internal Medicine. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED. • www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/... 🧪🧵⬇️

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

I wish I didn’t know as much about the end of Reconstruction as I do. If you understood what is being unleashed now, how it will touch every aspect of our civic life, and how difficult it will be to undo it, you wouldn’t be able to think about anything else.

This website shows you what your browser is leaking about you. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

watched this on repeat losing my shit for two nights now

whoever leaked that he’s panicking about leaks is the funniest person in the government

The reason why you can't post your way out of being harassed is because posting explanations assumes that the people who are harassing you are acting in good faith and are genuinely interested in understanding your perspective and here's the thing: that's basically never the case.

The correct director for an Odyssey adaptation is Taika Watiti. I will not be explaining any further.

“The Odyssey is a very serious book, Odysseus is a very sympathetic, brilliant character and you should not make fun of it” - someone who has clearly never actually read the Odyssey.

Everything’s a conspiracy if you don’t understand how anything works.

Ag secretary confirming 1 in 4 US farmers has no fertilizer secured, American Farm Bureau survey says up to 70% can’t afford enough fertilizer for the season under the spiked costs Honestly shocked this isn’t bigger news. 25% of farms are just not planting at all this season. Farm bankruptcy up 46%

RIP ted turner. i got a buddy claims to have seen the famous and possibly apocryphal video of jane fonda fucking him with a strap-on. says it’s great stuff. this is the most moving tribute i can muster i barely know anything else about him sorry

“Nobody does Oedipal sock puppet accounts with the laser focus and brilliance of Elon” -Ezra Klein

"On Trashing" is such a vital text and it's informed my view of these things since my earliest days of being trans online. The dynamics Freeman named are very old indeed. But the internet, and social media especially, turned it into a way of life for millions. Happening faster and more often.

Also IDK I think one of the reasons why I can’t get worked up about the Met Gala is because I’m extremely aware of all the galas you don’t hear about that fund the nonprofits you love

You will never find what you're looking for here in the doom scroll. You must go deep inside to find a personal hell only you alone possess.

I recently hear a "bad guy with a gun" argument for the adoption of AI, but the situation is that the bad guy with the gun is also the inventor and manufraturer of guns and is currently threatening you with his gun while saying you need to buy a gun (and the ammo) from him to defend yourself.

Most people have simply no idea how many insanely talented people with highly specialized disciplines are required to make a look like the ones at the Met Gala. Like most artists, artisans and craftspeople, their trades can only exist because they provide a product to the ultra wealthy.

did Giuliani die or did no one in media ask for an update

I’m gonna happily be on Wellbutrin for the rest of my life and thank god for that

Apparently today is Raise Your Hand If You'd Be Dead Without Antidepressants Day. ✋🏻

Holy fuck it passed

also today

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Madonna wears a Saint Laurent slip dress with a translucent violet organza cape carried by seven models, and a shipwreck hat. The look was inspired by “The Temptation of St. Anthony" (1945) by surrealist painter Leonora Carrington.

Soft like silk

To the extent that the Met Gala is a problem it's that nonprofits, broadly, have to rely on expensive galas and the largesse of rich people to make their budgets. That's a systemic issue, not an issue with the Met Gala itself.

yes???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

HEIDI PLS

let’s look at the back

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

AMAZING work but I can't imagine this feels nice on the fingertips

Watching the CT state senate floor instead of the Met Gala now and these speeches are ghostwritten by HSLDA’s internal LLM I think

oh thank god!

i don't work in CA water stuff i just grew up near this reservoir and this incident makes me need to go nonverbal for 10 min every time i remember it

If you live in DC (or northern Virginia) and see ICE doing something that looks like it will take at least ten minutes (milling around, traffic stop, whatever), I'm mlm335.27 on Signal and mlm335 on Telegram.

However mad you are about the Republican racist death cult, it's not mad enough

I’m gonna start referring to AI as “magical thinking” instead of “AI” and see what that changes in discussions
