Holy shit! 🐋🐋

Watched a man in first class turn on CBS on this fight and I’m not saying Bari Weiss is ignoring the Bondi firing but I am saying that Tony Dokoupil did a thing about a bear trying to steal a dumpster and also something titled “Windsurfer v Whale”

Science needs more than funding to prosper. We aren’t going to find the cure for Alzheimer’s disease through hostility, govt sponsored misinformation, banning words, eliminating DEI efforts, and spotlighting fringe conspiracy theories. One party is doing this. One party is fighting against this.

Ya’ll, I took the new train into Seattle, and met another trans girl who was also excited about the fact that we have the world’s first (technically second) train on a floating bridge and my wife called it the Trains Day of Visibility.

A drone maker backed by Don Jr. and Eric Trump is trying to sell their merch to Gulf countries under attack by Iran and while dependent on the U.S. military led by their father. apnews.com/article/trum...

Is one of them "what happens when a school bus and a tank play tug of war over a large gravel pit?" Because I think he would know the answer.

Not important in light of everything going on, but imagine taking shots at this absolute snack of a man, who’s been hotter than two rats f***ing in a wool sock for half a damn century, while you’re actively decomposing.

My god, “Adam” coupled with my baby brother going missing at the mall the day after Thanksgiving—it’s a miracle I’m a semi-functioning adult!

RFK Jr. is taking away our access to new cancer screening and other preventative strategies in plain sight and he is getting away with it. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force is not allowed to meet so they can’t issue disease prevention recommendations that must be covered under the ACA.

Sound Transit CEO Dow Constantine just announced that 205,000 riders boarded trains on the opening day of the Crosslake Connection, a number that's second only to the Super Bowl Parade.

Turns out covering up for pedophiles isn't a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

I have room in my heart for this one.

my pal @lizhackett.bsky.social is one of the funniest people on this doomed planet

I have zero natural musical talent but I’m writing a song about driving in L.A. It’s called “Shithead In A Tesla On My Ass.”

genuinely don't understand what any Republican lawmaker or anyone in the cabinet or even in the WH has to gain from this guy anymore, beyond like potentially getting close enough to the inner circle to do some insider trading or something

Has anyone ever ASKED Elliot Gould (or Grover) about that day?

Did Victor Glover attend Cal Poly on a wrestling scholarship & later play on the football team? Yup. Was he a prime agitator in forcing the administration to create a DEI plan of action? Yup. Was he part of a group of men selected to inform students about rape & sexual assault? YESSIR

“My friend’s uncle got so mad he had to go in the backyard” is one of the funniest phrases I’ve ever read for reasons I can’t fully explain

It’s journalism malpractice to quote trump on the status of rhen Iran war without including actual facts and evidence. Trump says’ is not reliable on its own. Journalists & headline writers know this but keep sanewashing trump anyway.

While Washington wages war on science, NASA just sent humans to the Moon's vicinity for the first time since 1972. Bravo #TeamNASA — proof that public science, when it's funded and trusted, still does extraordinary things.

I didn't know there was a rehab for being antisemitic and (allegedly) biting women

Nothing’s gonna stop them now

The death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who was left on the freezing streets of Buffalo by Border Patrol officers, was ruled a homicide. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ha ha April Fool. You've actually been having a bizarre dream and it is in fact 1996 right now. We are all going to go watch the new Coen Brothers movie 'Fargo' later. I will call you on your phone that is attached to a wall and can't make you insane later.

Today is the anniversary of the April 1 RIFs at NIH and HHS. Thinking of my colleagues who lost their jobs last year. These cuts did no improve efficiency. They undermined the functioning of our government.

Sign and share the petition in support of a car-free Ave (University Way NE, Seattle). There will be limited pilot this summer one block only on three Saturdays theaveforall.udistrict.org#kpg_212788

More cheese to snack on if they launch during a full moon. Trust me, I took Astronomy 101.

Yes, because the bikers in Paris don’t give AF about the pedestrians crossing their paths 😅 To be clear, I think the bike lanes are fantastic, but I definitely had to be cautious every time I crossed the street as a pedestrian…

If you were wondering how the class field trip went

We are not the same. I LOVE April Fool’s Day!

Fuck. Shelly has lived and worked in Iraq and Syria for years.

Bruce Springsteen, tonight in Minneapolis, was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. A true American rock star. Grateful to have been here.

jupiter wishes you a very happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

Bruce Springsteen is some good, strong, sorely needed, goddamn medicine for Minnesota. This is a concert that is, and my words won’t do it justice, amazing. Sharp, specific, resolute, angry, and inspired. Some rock shows are all about just having a good time. Something larger is in play here.

And in horrifying news, Idaho's governor has signed the felony bathroom ban, with 5 year penalties for second offense bathroom usage, into law. This is the most significant criminalization of trans people to date. On trans day of visibility no less. It will require a new "Do not travel" warning.

As a Jewish historian who works at a university, I think it’s great that an administration committed to destroying “the internal globalist enemy” which is staffed by groyper antisemites is collecting lists of Jews. Can’t see any potential downside here at all.

FUUUUUUCK OOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFF
