NEW: lawmakers in new york rolled out a proposed data center moratorium bill today, making NY at least the sixth state to introduce legislation pausing data center development in the past few *weeks*:

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

I originally liked the initial post being quoted because I wanted to believe it, but unfortunately I think I have to agree with this guy

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

I have literally never been more sane

spent the majority of my evening meditation session vividly fantasizing about beating Donald Trump with a baseball bat. not sure that's how you're supposed to meditate.

a lot of people are being radicalized by ICE this week so please remember that the most important thing when someone comes to any kind of radical politics is to immediately scold them for doing activism wrong as someone who has been doing it much longer

can't believe they released the poo tape

Wall-to-wall discourse around sexual violence is pretty unbearable, and I say that as someone who reports on discourse about sexual violence. For anyone who needs to hear this, it is okay to take a break. It is okay to stop scrolling or to not be able to come up with something to say right now.

Literally obsessed with this pic I got of one Cedar Waxwing getting very mad at another for drinking in the same spot as him despite there being a whole stream

Like the old saying goes, when you have your opponent on the ropes you make a deal to give him 1-2 weeks to recover

straight up, organizing that does this very thing is something that has been lacking in labor movement spaces for -generations- and we are far weaker and far less capable of mass mobilization because of it.

one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

we're gonna make them get the mark of the beast (a twee tattoo of either a monstera leaf or their pronouns)

Bovino should get back to the job he was born for: getting flustered at the antics of Beavis and Butthead

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since. That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

Never have I ever been more excited to use my ultra PhD

I think I could wield the Ring of Power for good.

yes the world is filled with cosmic horrors beyond imagination but one of my patients said something so beautiful today that it made me cry, and so idk, probably there's something to be appreciated about how not everything is all bad all the time? idk give me a break man I'm tired

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link. DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS. This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it! Stay frosty, friends.

I think it's fine if Europeans hate me. not my problem.

this man is going to start masturbating on stage within the next month

exclusive footage from inside Mar-a-Lago

RIP bozo

If you can't worship your godking when he's a demented toddler throwing a temper tantrum and waging wars for not getting a trophy, then why do you even worship a godking in the first place? American monarchists have no mettle, smdh.

do you think she's gonna keep sleeping with them after all that?

Happy 11th anniversary of me losing my fucking mind over this QVC clip

I have a question does Gandalf fuck?

New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration. readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...

yeah i'll vote for gavin newsom under extreme circumstances. like say we're on a life raft and need to decide who to eat first. or our plane crashes in the andes and we're figuring out who to barbecue for dinner. or if we're wagon-bound and stranded in a frozen pass over the sierra nevada mountains,

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

In a desperate effort to contain the overwhelming secondhand embarrassment I feel for everyone involved by imposing some kind of order onto it, I am trying to determine whether this is more embarrassing than the FIFA Peace Prize

nobody ever talks about how some maps are also territories for little bugs and such

I'm entering my Chimera Ant Era

What is the science version of hell that you go to if you don't believe in it?

Among perpetrators of violence, there is a very small share who are independently motivated to violence. But the vast majority of perpetrators commit violence to seek approval and status from others. This is particularly true among men who use violence to affirm their masculinity.

I think I could fix Roseanne Barr

Americans can't understand the concept of nothing unless you attach the word "burger" to it

People don't want to accept that the primary reason that we have Trump today is that the previous administration completely failed. It should have never gotten to the point where it was in the so-called hands of the voters. It was already too late by then.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
