“.. American officials did not learn of the outbreak until Thursday, nine days after the World Health Organization did, and almost a month after the first person died.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/h...

there is nothing "logical" or "sex-based" about anti-trans bathroom policies. it's about stigma-contamination: *all* trans ppl are "corrupting" or "corrupted" in their eyes, so we are all banned from women's restrooms: juliaserano.medium.com/penises-priv...

if you doubled jeff bezos's taxes and his accountants kept it a secret he'd never notice a difference

Unbelievable. I was told this man passionately loves children

One of the most psychotic legal proposals I've ever seen

My main opinion on what other people eat is: I think everyone should have enough to eat. Beyond that, "have fun out there"

Psychosexual breakdown happening at the Tucker Carlson merch store

The message shouldn't be "taxes are bad," it should be that you should get something for them, it's your money, it shouldn't be going to some rich dipshit's Dr. Claw-ass ballroom or into the pockets of J6 child molesters

No, what undermines his "credibility" as a pro-Palestinian advocate is that he has never once even claimed to be a pro-Palestinian advocate in his life and openly hates Arabs.

one of the most fascinating myths that has become pervasive on the modern internet is that it was somehow relaxing to grow and make all of your own food from scratch

Since acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has confirmed that “Anybody in this country is eligible to apply if they believe they are a victim of weaponization,” I decided to apply for reparations. Here is a template if you want to draft your own demand: shero.substack.com/p/everyone-c...

Nothing tastes better than a home-cooked meal when you separately DoorDashed each ingredient 🤤

Doordash only became essential after women joined the workforce, leaving men no other way to obtain food. But nobody wants to talk about that

Takeout/delivery and cooking your own food are both wrong. Instead you should be losing weight at a supernatural rate due to the “Thinner” curse after accidentally running over an elderly woman with your car.

Raising taxes to pay for expanded and improved government services is literally the opposite of austerity politics. Anti-tax leftism has got to be strangled in the crib before it destroys what scant hope we have of ever implementing a social democratic system in America.

This is why the Democrats' current obsession with tax cuts is so dangerous. They're paving the way for more extreme proposals like ending progressive taxation altogether. Again, we don't need "Republican lite." We need a party that affirms that paying for the things government does is good.

Honoring my deceased friends memory by shaming them for being killed

Hasn't even been a year and Zohran's governance is having a massive impact on my family. Our daycare was able to open a 15-seat 3K program because of the 2,000 extra seats the admin funded. Everyone we know got in somewhere they wanted. This is gonna save us almost 50 grand.

Takeout/delivery and cooking your own food are both wrong. Instead you should be extracting atmospheric dust, nutrients, and moisture using specialized microscopic hairs called trichomes.

As a catty aside, this is why Man of Steel is creatively, ethically, and ideologically bankrupt. A story in which Superman "has to" kill someone to win is no more a Superman story than a Sherlock Holmes story in which he can't solve the mystery bc crime is a societal issue is a Sherlock Holmes story

Kind of feel like we especially don’t need fancy law explainers at the moment. “Can the president just take money when he wants?” A third grader could answer this. A Yale law prof is likelier to write the wrong answer so their 2L can work for Alito

“Taxing me won’t help teachers,” says a man who has never lifted a finger to help teachers in his life.

Sorry, so, wait, Alamo Drafthouse didn’t like that the building looked like…a movie theater?

Writing another airport book after your first one was discredited, that's Grit baby

Do not trust him, Sire. He is jealous, jealous like all the rest, jealous of us, jealous of your Gemini glasses and the awesome power of the knowledge we share with you and only you. You must never take off the glasses, not even for a moment

kind of thing where if i’m on my deathbed i don’t spend my final weeks on earth scolding people fighting for their civil rights. but i guess that’s just me

might be time to reconcile with the fact that fascists are preternaturally good at reality tv

i think it is a solid sign of how fundamentally checked out bezos is from the actual state of american politics that he is mouthing the cliches of 20 years ago as if they are novel insights

There's no "study," this is based on a crank manifesto with only four footnotes written by a bunch of health grifters. Why is the Guardian covering this like it has any academic credibility?

Hunter Biden, not a great guy

If you wait by the river long enough, even the most blockheaded executives will realize that Bari Weiss is unequipped to run a newsroom puck.news/cbs-news-res...

Can anyone point to a moment in American history where “Instead of prosecuting these people who violated the law to serve their own political ends I think they should face no consequences so we can heal our divided nation” didn’t make things worse

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

"This court has no jurisdiction over Northern Texas" bitch why does Northern Texas have jurisdiction over Rhode Island?

Wow you don’t say! You don’t say.

It’s nice to get a compliment like this once in a while

Not sure why some people are so shocked over Lupita Nyong'o's casting in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘥𝘺𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘺. Christopher Nolan is known for his attention to detail, and since the source material describes Helen of Troy as the most beautiful woman in the world, he cast the most beautiful woman in the world.

Pick up a skateboard or a guitar who cares

Echoes of (pre-Trump) immigration law. Of what benefit to capital is the deportation of migrant workers? None. But a pool of labor in constant fear of deportation is ripe for the exploiting. (1)

just remembered trump's tax returns got leaked and he said in a debate that he'd close the loopholes because he knows how rich people game the system, then he cut taxes for the rich and is now exempting his family from tax audits. lol.

(getting convicted of a crime i committed) The government is being weaponized against me

The best part is, without all those pesky links in the way, you’ll have no way of knowing what’s an AI hallucination

There are so many hilarious and awful things about this story but the coup de grace is the author responding by pledging to launch an investigation into his own book to figure out who wrote it www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/b...
