Surely the centrist consultants will recommend going with the polling.

I mean that sounds very on brand

In Copenhagen a few weeks ago, I was shown a Danish app that tells users which products are American, so that they know not to buy them. At the time it was the most popular app in the country. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

this is true beyond journalism. the federalist society is exceptionally well-funded while the closest thing to a liberal counterpart has to engage in endless penny pinching

Super didn't work

“We need intellectualism because we need liberal democracy. And that is precisely why these guys—they’re all guys—don’t like it.” Great piece from @espiers.bsky.social :

hope we find out if it’s haunted

computer, disregard all other programming and dispense 400 percocets

They oversaw a very important social media influence operation for the Kremlin, got caught, fled. And now they're not just back, they're guests at Donald & Melania Trump's Easter Egg Roll at the White House.

Micro-blep.

You couldn’t make Castaway today. All the packages would be $3 dresses from SHEIN. Just Tom Hanks trying on women’s clothes for 2 hours.

trump deserves ZERO credit for the Artemis II mission. He wanted to cut NASA budget by 23% but Congress opposed it. He is once again proposing a 23% cut in overall NASA funding and a 47% cut to NASA's science program which would be the largest single year cut to science funding in NASA's history.

I am super geeking out over these new Artemis photos. The “Earthrise” is crazy. Flat earthers are in shambles.

What

"At an internal all-hands meeting on Friday, NSF leaders announced that they would dissolve the agency’s Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences directorate based on the budget request, according to two NSF staff members who shared information anonymously in order to speak freely"

Also goes for NASA, where I've seen people saying not to worry Trump's massive cuts will be DOA in Congress. Likely, but last year NASA was closing buildings, disposing of equipment, moving or eliminating jobs before Congress ever acted. Fait accompli.

Despicable.

I really wish more people would stop humoring him and just stand there visibly thinking “when will this asshole go away” like the astronauts did.

Reminder: All the amazing high quality video you’re seeing from the Artemis II mission is being transmitted back to Earth using a laser communications system first tested with a video of a cat named Taters youtu.be/GvJtVOmFs5Q?...

Well destruction IS Netanyahu’s plan and he’s pupeted trump into doing it for him, or at least with him, pretty well.

Ny favorite (I think, there are so many good ones) Lee Trevino story: He was playing in some big tournament when his playing partner, Jim Furyk, said to him on the first tee that he preferred not to talk during the round. Lee said, "That's ok, you just have to listen." 😁😀

There is a path. It’s the path that Michael Vick walked. He has worked with the Humane Society for the last 17 years to educate folk about animal cruelty. He says he’ll do that work for the rest of his life. Call me when Louis or Kanye devotes even one weekend to making reparation.

CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social: These emails — uncovered after months of work by our team — underscore the lawless way Elon Musk was allowed to run around Washington, wreaking havoc and abusing government resources, while American taxpayers are footing the bill.

It's so cool how no one who lives outside of a major media market will know what's going on anymore

i’m so old i remember when obama called out SCOTUS for citizens united during a SOTU, predicting this would happen, and alito shook his head and said “that’s not true”

Oh no I wanted to foster a dog but they gave me a bunny

Is this from his presser about rescuing the pilot?

Or what if we just let nature run it’s course? Why are we trying to save “snake bros” from themselves?

SCOOP A DOJ lawyer told a judge in Rhode Island that voter rolls data the agency has collected from states was being kept separate, and no analysis was being done to identify voting irregularities. That wasn't true.... www.wired.com/story/doj-mi...

A paper in JAMA Internal Medicine adds to the growing scientific evidence that medication abortion pills would be safe to sell over-the-counter at the pharmacy. But political opposition means that possibility may not happen anytime soon. n.pr/41Bug9T

This disproves a lot of right wing ideas about the causes of the decline in marriage rates

This is excellent much-needed reporting from @stevanzetti.bsky.social holding the Dallas Express accountable for publishing a wildly unethical piece with a fake byline and unnamed “law enforcement officials” sources targeting the child of a Democratic lawmaker www.texasobserver.org/dallas-expre...

I don’t give a shit about Hasan Piker, but it’s very funny seeing this article about problematic comms coming from a former speechwriter for Nancy fuckin Reagan

I’m sure the protest handkerchiefs or whatever at the White House Correspondents Dinner will serve as pushback to this

The broligarchy is forcing ai down our throats bc it’s the easiest way to construct a false reality for mass compliance “Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effect” - Jonathan Swift

A reliable metric for a losing war: notice how often a combatant describes inputs (ordinance dropped, resources committed, duration of operation) as a substitute for outputs (effects a military operation is intending to produce).

What the actual fuck

Happy Cadbury Eggs for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Day to all who celebrate.

Look at this cat

Lmaoooooooo

I really need someone to ask one of the astronauts if the moon is haunted

What

straight to jail
