LOL

For someone who made a name as a big money investor type, Kevin O’Leary sure spent a lot of time trying to argue that it was somehow physically impossible to carry $50K in cash in a takeout bag…

Holy shit

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

When 97 percent of what's being written about a person is bad, it's very likely that 3 percent of those offering opinions are full of shit. Our president is an unfit fascist. And open speech without government restriction is an American birthright. Or was. Once. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

Again, Most "unfair muscle mass " in sports, is straight cis boys taking steroids. Most "gender affirming care for children," is straight cis boys getting gyno surgery to remove the unwanted boobs that they grew, because they took steroids. 🙂🙃 No one really cares about "fairness in sports." 🤷🏿‍♂️

Great article by @josheidelson.bsky.social on how Trump and RFK, Jr., have gutted NIOSH, an absolutely essential health agency. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Is this the only photo they have on file? This looks like staging to introduce a Bond villain.

I’m not going to say I am relieved, but I think the HELP testimony from Monarez and Houry clarified for the new panelists that there are no grownups or guardrails between their armchair quarterbacking about vaccines as a hobbyist/grifter and what rolls directly into children’s arms.

“There aren’t real crackdowns occurring, no one is getting shipped to camps.” Some days I think about how lucky it was that we got to see video of Rumeysa Ozturk’s arrest. How many others have been arrested for writing articles, who didn’t get the same national attention because there’s no video?

They were going to do it anyway. A great video from @juliaioffe.bsky.social that a friend just sent me. The takeaway: Forget about the pretenses and the excuses. Focus on the tyranny and the crimes because they're going to do it anyway.

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

What the hell, Ben

Meanwhile they’ve nominated Richard Sackler to run DEA

im kind of a 90s kid so my key robert redford movie is "sneakers"

Omg did not realize until watching @chrislhayes.bsky.social that ICE had a warrant for four Latino men when they came onsite to the GA plant. So basically they saw a lot of other nonwhite people and just decided to detain them all?? What’s the reasonable suspicion

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

Happy Pythagorean triple day (9/16/25) y'all's

Ten years ago yesterday, I wrote a story that changed the next decade of my life. I hate that it matters more today — I mean specifically, today — than it ever has before. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. But here it is. www.thedailybeast.com/what-do-you-...

the underlying circumstances are extremely different, but here is the famously woke william safire on oliver sipple, who was outed by the press after saving gerald ford's life: "He will think twice before he does any good deed again." www.nytimes.com/1975/09/29/a...

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

1. Azerbaijan hasn't been at war with Albania. Trump confuses Albania with Armenia. But he wants credit, a Nobel Prize, for ending a war in which he can't identify the parties. 2. The Fox hosts are too ignorant or too sycophantic to correct him. 3. Imagine if Biden had said this.

🤣🤣🤣 We are a deeply unserious country. What an ugly prayer. But shout-out to all of the trans people that prayed harder I guess 🤷🏿‍♂️

Sen. Bill Cassidy said Friday that Louisiana is undergoing its worst whooping cough outbreak since 1990 and called on the nation's vaccine-leery health secretary to promote vaccinations. https://www.wbrz.com/news/cassidy-asks-kennedy-to-promote-vaccines-targeting-whooping-cough-after-major-outbreak

Meanwhile ProPublica found that three current members of Trump's cabinet actually *did* do the thing it looks like they falsely accused Lisa Cook of doing... www.techdirt.com/2025/09/12/t...

Fed Governor Cook declared her Atlanta property as “vacation home,” documents show: “Cook’s declarations on loan, job-vetting forms appear to undercut fraud claims.” Via Reuters

TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?! www.nbcboston.com/news/health/...

The Apple Polishing Cloth has been updated to support the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, 17 Pro models, the new Ultra 3, SE 3, and Apple Watch Series 11.

The work I did on the curiosity rover increased its efficiency by 10% and will keep it going for an additional 1-2 years. Then I was laid off due to budget cuts, by people who weren’t even familiar with my work.

probably worth thinking about what it would mean to pursue accountability for what increasingly looks like murder www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/u...

My parents took me out of a country where this was the norm and where it led to the execution and imprisonment of millions of innocent people. They brought me here, to America, believing that it would not happen here. And yet here we are.

Problem is that after a few years, most people normalize extreme climate as normal They also normalize disappearance of world Bees insects birds wildlife, marine life, forests wetlands and their replacement with a sterile barren lifeless landscape as normal

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

Citing DEI concerns, the Trump administration has halted funding for programs that support students with combined hearing and vision loss in eight states. Their funding had previously been approved through Sept. 2028. “How low can you go?” one advocate asked. “How can you do this to children?”

Like I just said on CNN, it’s absolutely evil that people are sleeping on concrete floors at the ICE detention center near Chicago. Join us to protest this Friday at 7 am at the Broadview Detention Center.

The LG app that sends push notifications that my dryer is finished consumes 833MB on my phone. Software has got to start taking itself more seriously.

This, by Musk, is the height of stupidity and ego. The idea that X is a source of news so we don't need actual media and reporters is like saying we don't need weather satellites, climate scientists, and weather models because your phone has the weather on it. The stupid, it burns.

Literally the second meme I've made in my life.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

“Omg did they say Department of Wo.. nevermind”

Remember how Zuck went on Rogan and whined about how Biden was mean to him and he wasn't going to take it anymore... And the media was all like "look at the tough manly new Zuck" That was 8 months ago.

I'm in the dentists office cry laughing because my never political uncle just posted "I guess Fetterman proves that republicans are democrats that have had a stroke" unprompted in the group chat

what if the mainstream political press hadn't spent the last 2 decades validating every horrible ass idea from some nobody on the internet as a complete and valid take, where would we be if they'd treated vaccine and science denial with the derision it deserves idk idk
