the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

we in chicago baby

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Are you fucking kidding me they’re bringing the Virtual Boy back

Don't say anything you don't want to see a man in a suit showing you a print-out of in a small windowless room, and in a larger sense be careful in general and take extra care to look out for others/your community because the nazis are going to go completely feral for a while.

the tape measure from today's xkcd would've been perfect for jack sjunior @cbbworld.bsky.social xkcd.com/3138/

excited to be the most insufferable person alive for the next 17 weeks

new site from ex-polygon folks just launched. hell yeah

PAX West thread let’s go

😭

driving 14-ton up-armored military vehicles around a peaceful city at all hours of the night isn’t just hostile to democracy and civil society, it’s reckless as well

a price *increase* in a game console this late in its life cycle is nuts. trump needs to be thrown in prison before a loaf of bread costs 100 bucks.

this is actually what the rolling stones were singing about

i don't know what scheme by my daughter i'm complicit in right now

clearly wasn't at a halloween party in 2007 also clearly had an incredible winter break in 2009

Ahahahahahahhahahhahahhahahahahahhahhhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahh

they are murdering the people who tell the truth.

My theory is that if we taxed most of these people without telling them and the people they pay to manage their money didn't tell them, they'd never notice. And if you'd never notice you should be taxed even more.

Lawmakers who refuse to speak out forcefully against Israel’s deadly mass starvation of Gaza should resign. One million children and their families are being starved by a country using US weapons to block aid. If you cannot bring yourself to oppose this, why did you go into public service at all?

fixed an issue today by using a method called urlEqualTo instead of urlPathEqualTo (after trying a hundred other things first), computers were a mistake

"flight manifests for 3 legally contested deportation flights from Texas to El Salvador contain dozens of additional, unaccounted for passengers than a previously published Department of Homeland Security (DHS) list of people deported from the United States on those flights, 404 Media has learned."

absolutely impeccable vibes

How hard is it to be the opposition party to this??

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

our tax dollars at work. soulless monsters.

becoming a single issue voter, and the issue is “it should be illegal to make me create a new account for something I’m going to use exactly once”

understatement of the year

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

good things can still happen don't give up

you don't even have to look at it strategically! people will straight up stop coming to places if there's nothing else there but a strident requirement to stare hard into the abyss at all times

"I gotta say protect trans youth. I gotta say fuck ICE. And with my whole fucking chest, I gotta say free Palestine. Anybody watching at home, anybody walking by, you wanna know who said it, you tell em it's the mother fucking Wonder Years from Philadelphia." youtu.be/xIj2Ozlp1y8?...

Has the ICE Boston field office put out one single statement that didn’t contain an easily proven lie? My god. They just don’t fuckin care

Also, Dem/liberal types REALLY need to cool it with the jokey “small penis/fat/diapers” Trump signs, the man’s body is not the problem here

Philly’s No Kings rally was exactly what I expected. I’m glad lots of people showed up to protest fascism, but reckon it would’ve been nice for the organizers to have had an actual demand/action for all those newly activated people to take, instead of just taking a big slow walk and going home.

What happened in Minnesota is a direct consequence of the violent way that Trump talks about his political opponents.

the chipotle app wants me to get a tattoo, capitalism rocks

i love the taste of “regular”

the joint committee for public health in massachusetts is holding a public hearing this friday about eliminating religious vaccine exemptions. i just emailed the committee and my local rep on the committee to express my support www.mafamiliesforvaccines.org/act

FEATURE: Throughout May, Working Mass investigated ICE operations in Massachusetts. This is our comprehensive report. Read about freeing organizers, overwhelming ICE during a Worcester raid, and a popular blockade at Somerville High that stopped ICE. working-mass.com/2025/05/30/f...

Area Man Hates His Job (But Still Loves Genocide) www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

sleepy girls

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.

i will never forget the people and publications who legitimized this and other/future genocides by calling it simply a “debate”, like it’s normal and ok to argue for the murder, mutilation and starving of children

If you ever find yourself struggling with impostor syndrome, just remember that David Zaslav made $52 million last year to slowly come to the conclusion that, actually, HBO is a good brand
