It's totally okay to not monetize your hobbies and passions.

Anyone happen to know anyone with one spare skein (or even a partial one) of Neighborhood Fiber Co Studio Worsted in Sheridan Circle?

It’s such a mind fuck, man. You find yourself watching something and counting how many of them aren’t here anymore

Truly a miraculous arc if you were around in the 80s, 90s and remember the weight of HIV and the toll it took. Unreserved and unqualifiedly good news.

I'm old enough to remember when vowing to sue someone for cracking a joke about you was considered, fairly definitively, to be Loser Behavior.

This thing 🫴

relevant to many of yalls interests.

The UK has lost its measles elimination status, the World Health Organization has announced. Vaccine disinformation is a worldwide pandemic that is killing us.

"They are forcing the public, and Supreme Court Justices, to have to rely solely on the Government’s inaccurate version of events. This Court has the power to shed light on the truth of what happened on October 4."

Minnesotans have been telling Virginia to get fucked since 1863 about their captured Confederate flag. Fitting place for Bovino's disgraceful career to end.

BREAKING: At the Eighth Circuit, DOJ — including senior lawyers — argues that yesterday's shooting of Alex Pretti "ha[s] nothing to do with" the lawsuit over DHS violations of people's First/Fourth Amendment rights in Minnesota.

Concerned this will be something like Pritzker bringing the state police to Broadview. The official narrative was that they were there to protect us, but what they really did was insulate ICE from protest. There are protesters who are still facing charges from their violent arrests by state cops.

We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September. They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police. If you have any information at all about these men—please text us on Signal at unraveled.66

Chicago! The Bob Loquercio Auto Group's executive VP says the murder of Alex Pretti "is EXACTLY what I voted for." Please take your business elsewhere and let them know that you are doing so. www.blautogroup.com/

guns across america rallies. january 19, 2013 armed protests at state capitol buildings against stricter gun laws under obama. the government didn't murder any of them. www.wbur.org/news/2013/01...

Readers... this AI shit in Amazon ebooks is something authors can't opt out of and it's frankly illegal, but when did that stop tech companies? The only thing they respond to (sometimes) is customer backlash — don't use this feature and tell Amazon you hate it. kindlepreneur.com/amazon-ask-t...

Everyone who complied without challenge was a fool & coward, but most of them share material interests with the oligarchs so do not expect them to experince even private regrets - though they will get mad at any consequences, by which I mean the fleeting discomfort of criticism.

Science continues to be amazing - custom vaccines to prevent CANCER from returning?? Fuck flying cars, I want more of this!!! arstechnica.com/health/2026/...

Good morning!!!!

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

Mischief Toys is a plaintiff in the lawsuit against the Trump administration seeking to hold his tariffs unconstitutional 🤔🤔🤔

The U.S. has been “the bad guys” for our entire history. Chattel Slavery. The Trail of Tears. Scores of foreign *brown* countries destabilized for decades. Any other impression given to you was govt propaganda 🙂

I really wish people hadn't demonized calories because the one thing that calorie count is really, really good for is being able to say "Wow those are starvation rations."

I am the exact kind of pedantic nerd that would make this kind of argument if it were true, but I am also old enough to have used these. And yes, we just called them floppies. Almost nobody actually said diskette.

I don’t want to put myself in the mind of an officer because that would make a moral man justifiably suicidal.

I would really caution anyone against implying that paywalling this feature is a legitimate response to public outcry. The paywall is an endorsement, not a restriction. Musk is saying "this thing you're all talking about is valuable. Pay me for it." The actual material effect is just monetization.

After Minneapolis, now the ICE shooting on Christmas Eve in Maryland is getting some scrutiny from local police: “…county police confirmed The Banner’s reporting that the second person injured in the encounter was already in ICE custody, in one of the agency’s vehicles, when he was hurt.”

It's been five years since I woke up with a stroke. So it's time for my annual repost of my stroke PSA thread.

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.

It's important to remember that Donald Trump lies constantly, but this is Donald Trump declaring that he has used the United States military to extort Venezuela into giving him $1.7-2.7 billion for his personal use.

This is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.

*stares in Black history* What America were you in because in this one when people protested police brutality people in power publicly yearned for the days of Bull Connor...

One thing I love about the Onion staff is that when you click on these articles, it's clear they do actually read our media releases.

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

This is designed to have a chilling effect on all retired service members. The message is that if you speak out, you risk your retirement pay.

I actually didn't think it was possible to get 94% of Americans to agree on anything.

So is this where I tell you that cops have been doing this to Black activists for decades and you're only now realizing it is a problem because it happened to a young white woman or nah?

Parker's piece nails why this matters. "Tech companies... would rather not answer for their products’ failures. Every headline that says “Grok apologizes” or “Grok admits” or “Grok says” creates a world where the chatbot takes the fall while Musk and his executives face no scrutiny whatsoever."

Yes, hello? I don’t think 2026 is working properly. I’d like to cancel my free 5 day trial please.

Invading a foreign country without congressional approval and kidnapping its leader is a blatant violation of U.S. and international law. www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...
