this is by far the least cool anyone has ever made doing drugs look

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire? Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

We're not in WWIII – not yet. But if we don't kick Russia out of Ukraine, we will be. Putin must be stopped.

certain posters online are a government psyop designed to keep you giggling instead of angry. “Whimsy is the opiate of the masses…”

Nature's cathedral...

being unemployed would actually be so cool if not for the constant fear of imminent doom

Thank you, Tom Stoppard, for showing us a way.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

My hair almost choked me in my sleep, and super disappointed it didn't succeed.

Her adoptive dad had sexually assaulted her for years. But when Taylor Cadle told police, she was treated like a “monster.” She was charged with lying to the police and had to write an apology letter to her abuser. Justice finally came when Taylor took her phone and hit record.

How big tech is creating its own friendly media bubble to ‘win the narrative battle online’

Please start using the frame of the authoritarian playbook when you report on autocratic actions, @washingtonpost.com @nbcnews.com. Your headlines repeat @whitehouse-47.bsky.social propaganda instead of informing of its purpose. Please do better.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

Dear Raul Julia: in whatever Elysian Fields you inhabit, I hope you know that the last movie you filmed & the work that you spent your last moments on has become beloved. A classic not just at the holidays, but a primer on how to selflessly and brilliantly love another person to utter distraction.

This is heartbreaking and humiliating. America First = America Alone, and anyone who thinks America is better off alone is profoundly ignorant.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

600,000 dead. 400,000 of them children. This is the tally of the world's richest man killing the world's poorest people. #USDemocracy youtu.be/7x4ZHWjDcf4?...

Oh. Here's the "beard" being ripped off someone's face.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Senator ( Captain) Mark Kelly has spent his entire life serving our country. He earned the Superior Service Medal,Combat Star, Gold Naval Aviator Wings, - he flew 5000 combat hours, he holds the record for most time in outer space.

It is tragic to see what figures like Mamdani are doing to a once great Democratic Party. by Andrew Cuomo, Larry Summers, Alan Dershowitz, Bob Menendez, and Rod Blagojevich

Feeling queasy now I've learned that Google is not only now offering Gemini ambassador certificates to teachers but also awarding students and *children* to be corporate AI mascots. Coercive normalization of commercialized digital education. blog.google/outreach-ini...

🔴Does 🇪🇺 want a war with 🇷🇺? 👉No. 🔴Does 🇷🇺 want a war with 🇪🇺? 👉The question is moot: the moscow-centered terror enterprise is already waging war in/on Europe. 🔴If 🇪🇺 wants to avoid a wider war, there is only one path: stop the aggressor in 🇺🇦. Anything less is an open invitation for this war to grow.

oh sorry, can’t, the holidays are my busy time *continues to stare at the wall*

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

How I slept during Biden // How I sleep during Trump.

Happy #spacemen3 Day!

In addition to the 600K deaths he caused, tens of thousands of Americans who pledged to do no harm, promoted human development in war torn countries, had advanced degrees and had regional/linguistic expertise, and purchased food aid from American farmers, are all unemployed.

ICE has $75B dollars to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 new deportation officers It turns out, if you’re hiring for a pariah agency using fascist and racist messaging, recruiting for a job where you are so hated that you refuse to show your face, America’s best, brightest, and most fit don’t apply

According to this article, there's about $50M left over from the East Wing construction on the White House. Maybe a food program for the poor? New insurance you say? Nope. The First Felon wants an Arch, like in Paris. 🤡🔥 #DefendersOfDemocracy #SheShed #VoteBlue abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...

NGO says Swiss food giant is 'putting the health of babies at risk for profit' by adding sugar to babyfood.

The federal government invading churches across the country at Christmas to kidnap Christian immigrants is one of those things so comically evil it can hardly be imagined. Waiting for faith leaders of every political stripe and religious hue to condemn this racist assault on people of faith.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

🚨 NEW: More Republicans are quietly telling Rep Thomas Massie they plan to vote to release the files, and he predicts this could snowball. “Trump will protect you… if you vote to cover up for pedophiles… but… this vote is going to be on your record longer than Trump is going to be president.”

Under this partition, Israel controls all of the arable farmland in the Gaza territory.

it is almost as if someone was promoted beyond their ability

Sometimes I get jealous of people who are retiring, then I remember they’re nearing the end of their natural lifespan and I get even more jealous.

Yep. Scholars Must Recognize the Role of Affect and Emotion in Disinformation www.techpolicy.press/scholars-mus... "The tactics of digital emotional manipulation are many and varied, but many of the most prominent exploit frustration and rage." We can't let rage win.

A real president does this. Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

Let my gravestone read "PUNCTUATION GOES INSIDE THE QUOTATION MARKS."

The cheapest plan available to me (a Georgian) is over $1,000 a month. Healthcare is no longer an option for me. I will ration the medication I take for as long as I can and then I will wait to die.
