This only happens to you once

I can’t confirm this but apparently a half hour ago AI got good. I’ll be the first to admit I was being unfair and impatient. Congrats AI

From @theathletic.com: British swimmer Ben Proud explained why he signed up for the Enhanced Games, a competition that permits competitors to take performance-enhancing drugs. The decision means he will not be allowed to participate in the 2028 Olympics. nyti.ms/3VcTqbz

if only these white supremacists could open their eyes and see that Churchill was not unlike them: a big fat white asshole with a drinking problem who loved Hitler until he couldn't love Hitler on account of his job

Eeeeeeeeee!

If tariffs are paid by foreign countries and don't hurt American consumers, as Trump has repeatedly claimed, then why do we need rebate checks? www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

i don't like your odds, jim

Does it now. I know about HUAC and McCarthy. The Palmer Raids before that. “Premature Anti-Facists” and loyalty oaths and blacklists and surveillance and worse of civil rights and anti-war groups. But AFAIK, no government official has ever been so open about punishing disfavored speech.

This was my "Eureka, they got it exactly right!" moment in #StarTrekSNW's "Shuttle to Kenfori"↖️😊: The Klingon skeleton features a honeycomb like ribcage, just like Dan Curry's 1998 Klingon anatomy painting ↗️, made canon in #StarTrekENT's "Affliction"↙️ and "Divergence"↘️ (auction photo: 2nd pic).

Last night, at Candidate Survivor, I had the opportunity to break out some very rusty harmonica skills. See, campaigning is fun. Campaigning is fun? Campaigning is fun.

This is a full out attack upon the working poor. Shameful. Wrong. Bad for our country.

RFK Jr. is dangerous.

Trump is trying to stifle free speech.  He's attacking the press. He's kidnapping U.S. residents and sending them to foreign prisons without due process. When asked if he would uphold the Constitution, he says "I don't know." If this isn't dictatorship, I don't know what is.

The International Space Station may be visible Tuesday morning as it passes over the Bay Area! It will rise in the northwest at 4:55am, reach an elevation of 28° above the northeastern horizon at 5:01am, and set in the east at 5:06am. Forecast calls for clear skies.

Just a reminder, public nudity is not illegal in Seattle, this was an insane choice by SPD

HAPPENING NOW: Seattle Police Departments Officers at Denny Blaine telling people to get dressed. One person banned from the beach for a week, according to one person on the ground.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

This is such a ridiculous attempt at walking back bullshit.

Washington communities have been waiting for months for the resources they need to fully recover from November's bomb cyclones, and this decision will cause further delay. We will appeal.

FEMA denied Washington's request for emergency relief funds to help repair damage from recent devastating storms. There are very clear criteria to qualify for these funds. Washington’s application met all of them. This is another troubling example of the federal government withholding funding.

Trump wants to spend $45B to expand ICE detention — and let the private prison companies who bankrolled his campaign run at least a half dozen new detention centers. This won't make us safer, but it will make the border-industrial complex even richer.

A federal judge in Vermont suggested Monday that he will likely weigh in on a legal challenge to the detention and transfer of a Tufts University student by immigration agents, and may order that she be brought to Vermont for a May hearing. (via @wbur.org)

1. Start the dumbest trade war in American history. 2. Tank the stock market. 3. Flip-flop. 4. See the stock market soar back up. In between #2 and #3, did Donald Trump or those around him tip off anyone to cash in on his tariff chaos? Let’s investigate and get some answers.

The life of a party grrrrl in their 40's in one picture 🤣😂
