The court spent last term bailing out the White House with shadow docket shams. But in recent weeks, Trump’s gluttony for norm-breaking has reached new heights. SCOTUS will be forced to stop dithering and start deciding on issues that could make or break Trump's presidency. trib.al/gDcnlCH

Why the fuck do they design external harddrives to stand vertically. "Hello we are selling you the absolute last bastion of keeping all your important shit safe, yes we did design it to fall over as easily as possible"

Autistic and neurodivergent friends, I'm so sorry. Y'all deserve so, so, so much better than what this ableist society and ruling class is doing to you. Solidarity always.

So, is Rapture Day gonna happen, or can I go back to my nice long, windows open, breeze wafting through, sounds of birds singing, early autumn nap?

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! This month we celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of our Hispanic and Latino communities. Let us always remember that diversity is our strength, and we should take pride in the cultures and stories that make up our nation.

Opening a bookstore that's not a community space. Bookstore for the purchasing of goods. Not a third place. Just a store.

So do all those journalists and professors get their jobs back too or is it just the millionaire comedian whose cancellation ate into Disney's profits?

As I was saying…

Sorry my evangelical friends, I’m hearing from my sources in Heaven that only lapsed Catholics and atheists got raptured.

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

A lot of the commentators who deride Bluesky as a smaller or less active platform than X are totally clueless about how power on the internet works, which is also how they lost it to the alt-right. Internet culture fractured a while back. Niche spaces are actually the way to grow

Don't know if anyone saw this story, but kudos to the band program at Central High in Memphis. They were informed they couldn't play their instruments because it would be too loud and a distraction. They played kazoos instead. I love that kind of pettiness. youtu.be/Nwc4nekDc64?...

Reminds me of how the Koch brothers funded the “grass roots” tea party.

Nearly 7 million views for ABC's official YouTube video of Kimmel's 28-minute monologue overnight. It is already the most-viewed Kimmel clip of the year on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

YouTube/Google has written a letter to Jim Jordan best summarized as “Yes sir thank you Mr Jordan sir” It made Jordan so happy he wrote a very long tweet thread about it. In it, he gloats ab getting them to agree never to do the fact-checking kind of “censorship” and to moderate how he prefers.

Research 2025. Have had to order a second hand book because the moment anything from Before The Internet becomes part of a controversy From Internet Days, you can no longer find any other information about it online by searching. The now floods the past completely. History gets buried.

🚨 Just in: Chad Mizelle, the top adviser to AG Pam Bondi, is stepping down- days after the guilty verdict in the Ryan Routh case. No official reason given.

Fewer homeless, more consumer spending, a 'win-win' as they say...what's not to like, even for the rich? More money to buy their products. Unless they just wanna be cruel...

(sorry, I should have said "every one on the top of this list")

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

I will not link to it. I just want to reiterate that thousands of books have been banned by the right. And American Dirt sold millions of copies.

“Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke.”

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

No ceremony will change the fact she died an insurrectionist. This will be her legacy.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Seeing critiques of people at the CDC for leaving their positions and thereby leaving a post to be filled by unqualified & malicious leadership. One of the most important actions to resist authoritarian rule is to refuse to be suborned. See 2, 5, 8, 10, and 20: scholars.org/contribution...
