Went to Cali for a fun party in the woods. Was able to hang with friends and talk about the future. Highly recommended.

Ok that's kind of hilarious

It's hard to be excited about the Artemis III mission announcements when the CEO of the company making one of the mission's rockets has spent his week inciting racial violence via his personal social media platform.

Ohhhh hey. Now that the obvious has happened and Decision Desk has called it for Raman, you’ll see two common tropes: “they were printed not counted!” and “these stats show it’s rigged!” (Bad Math) Read my post and share it with family members who come at you with that.

Whenever I buy groceries these days I'm like "Jesus, so expensive, might as well order in" and then I order in and it costs like 4x more than I expect and anyway nobody in my generation can afford rent or food.

This is so good

Night in Shimbashi. Taken with an M11 and a 50mm summilux We will be back in a few weeks. HMU

This administration is engaged in an all-out war against free speech, and everyone who pretended that conservatives were "pro-free speech" needs to take several seats and reflect on why they were so easily duped (or complicit). www.science.org/content/arti...

it’s so weird that hating windmills really does seem to be one of this man’s core beliefs

How could anyone think these decisions about citizenship, autonomy, voting, representative democracy, and the now nonexistent limits of executive power are political?

Quite a change of locale. Also I wear hats now. Sports hats. But motorsports.

"I have no interest in Rome trying to dictate American policy" was also one of the driving forces behind 1920s Klan recruitment.

Americans suffer from a desperate need to believe in the inherent goodness of the American electorate--the idea that a voter in 2024--after nearly a decade of unfiltered, widely broadcast, deeply fascist rhetoric from Donald Trump--was simply "tricked" by a Facebook algorithm or a Fox News segment.

“A whole civilization will die tonight,” Trump declares.

OBAMA: *wears tan suit* - Behavior unbecoming for a president, major scandal. TRUMP: *literally says he will end a civilization* - Meh, whatever, it's Trump being Trump, hehe.

Would be nice to have a functional opposition party right now.

This is pure 19th century nationalist ideology. "The U.S. census numbers are a measure of the country’s demographic health." Thanks, Mussolini. We only "need" more young workers because the top 1% are taking 50% of the economic growth (round numbers)

That thing about us being like elves to our pets because by comparison we’re functionally immortal is cute until you realise at the end of Lord of The Rings they decided it was kinder to put Frodo out of his misery and said they were taking him upstate to Valinor to run and be free

They were put in place by the Federalist Society to “not understand.”

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

Here are 5 menswear outfits to make recruitment officers think you're 43 🧵

This feels almost sitcom worthy

Why are ICE agents coming to airports? Because GOP blocked 6 different bills that would have opened TSA. They won’t fund TSA unless we give ICE unlimited funds and impunity. This is the GOP’s mess.

Something I haven’t seen mentioned is that more than TSA work at airports! Janitors, food service, retail, etc. I have no faith that security clearance to work at an airport will keep those people safe from ICE, especially brown and Black people with accents.

DOW JONES Down -2804 points YTD • Racism is expensive. • Racism is not cost-effective. The pending $10 gallon of gas, the overpriced food costs, the impending world war and economic collapse was completely avoidable. Enjoy your racist bounty. #TheyToldYou #KamalaHarris #HillaryClinton

this is what happens when you let this much wealth and power concentrate in the hands of so few people nobody wants any of this but them and they’re the only ones who get a vote

turns out @vimiller.bsky.social wrote about this today

Stunned by all the “ICE isn’t gonna do anything more than what TSA already does” rhetoric. Untrained white supremacists who’ve been told by bosses they’re not subject to laws will have POC and women lined up in front of them to grope and abuse and they don’t even have to chase them.

Great work everyone, glad we did all this.

Harris accused Altman of being the “Goebbels of the Trump administration.” But on Tuesday, Harris said by email: “It was late and I had a few too many martinis so I misspoke when I said Goebbels… I should’ve said Friedrich Flick.”

Doing systemic racism to eliminate research on systemic racism to make systemic racism easier to hide and deny.

I appreciate that Murphy is being clear about this. at the same time...like, he's a senator? why is he demanding we do something? isn't he in a better position to do something? 1

Parker Ortolani blogs about the Neo: "The MacBook Neo is the first Mac that is truly, in every sense of the word, a bicycle for the mind. It’s the first Mac that almost anyone can buy and it’s going to unleash a whole new era of creativity because of it."
