Happy Caturday—and Summer Solstice!!! (The solstice will take place overnight in the pre-dawn hours at 4:24am EDT.)

I think the time to learn Trump so often steals objects from his wife's bedroom that staff have to take photos of everything she owns to replace them before she finds out & also check the president of the United States' bedroom trash cuz he throws out the sliver is when journos first heard about it

For the past 26 years, American sunscreen has been terrible compared to sunscreens available in the rest of the world. But last week, the FDA approved a new chemical sunscreen filter for the first time since 1999. At last, better sunscreens are on the way. Read more from @vicmsong.bsky.social:

They're going to prosecute people who tried to take home pieces of Trump's peeling paint so he can falsely blame them for his embarrassing fuck-up. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Starmer is going to go down as the single most juiceless politician in history, imagine winning a national landslide and then being so bloody useless they threw you out a window less than halfway through the term

Isn’t the U.S. military dumping hydrogen peroxide into a river the plot of THE HOST?

Cannot fucking believe an external 4TB SSD drive that cost me $200 last year is now $1100. Had to check receipts to make sure. They’re really out there trying to keep you from having a PC, phone, or a gaming console so they can have hallucinating, polluting chatbots that drop bombs on kids’ schools.

Xemomorph will pop a mint, just does

Something something JG Ballard and flyover wars and ahahahahahahaha.

Good lord. This sounds awful, but also very much of our times. Definitely no singing animated foxes or joyful stealing from the rich to give to the poor in 2026.

Happy Juneteenth, DC. Fannie Lou Hamer said it plainly, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” Today is Juneteenth, a celebration marking the day the news of freedom finally reached enslaved people in Texas.

And in case you were wondering, yes, Gillibrand's kid's new business is absolutely tied to the crypto industry. www.inc.com/melissa-ange...

Honestly and seriously? Gillibrand should resign.

I thought you may find it interesting that Pakistan chose dragon boat race to commemorate 75 years of their friendship with China youtu.be/wcPZ4p2RyGM?...

In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, the fire department exists to start fires, not to put them out. Ka$h Patel is busy refashioning the FBI in a like manner, as an organization that commits crimes, rather than battle them. Rick Wilson reports on the flush fund payback squad of petty thugs.

$13M to paint the pool. Algae returns. Dump in hydrogen peroxide to kill algae. Oh wait, peroxide is a paint remover! Paint job ruined. Algae remains. The incompetence defies belief.

Also let me recommend historian Annette Gordon Reed’s “On Juneteenth” for your summer reading list. I felt vindicated reading that Reed, a Texan, always saw Juneteenth as a Texas celebration. Her dive into the complicated history of Texas, slavery, integration & this holiday is riveting.

The original Juneteenth Order (see 3)

Happy #Juneteenth! On this day we celebrate freedom and our commitment to the fight against racism. Our struggles were born from the same roots. Our struggles are one. Su lucha es mi lucha. Together we are more powerful.

Happy Juneteenth. 👊🏾

i've been a filmmaker for almost 20 years but now I'm just a youtuber and I still write, but yeah film/tv is pretty much impossible now. it always was, it's a damn aristocratic walled garden of connections virtually impossible to break into, but now even 3rd gen royalty has the trouble WE used to

jesus christ. I'm glad that show did a proper ending with merely the hint there could be more. that show was fun and good and caused a splash. it is so impossible for art and artists these days. like, honestly most of my friends and I have just stopped trying.

A thread on Duanwu 端午

Pretending that education is just job training and that it should be stripped of all non-utilitarian elements is one of the worst ideas in the history of ideas. Acting like it's some kind of axiom we should be using to orient ourselves at the moment is disastrously wrong-headed.
