It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

If you're a service member being ordered to prep for deployment for the War in Iran and you have moral and/or ethical misgivings on all this, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the G.I. Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

the pitt should introduce a character exhibiting symptoms of delirium who won't stop yelling that everyone in the hospital is in a tv show

I do love the fact that, given it's Hegseth, it's equally plausible that he's announcing that the US military will execute prisoners of war as policy or that he just doesn't know what "no quarter" means

What the caller says, how different things are when viewed from a western perspective, is the context missing from most media reporting.

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

We already went through this shit in Iraq. You don’t fund the GOPs dumb as fuck wars. Period. This isn’t hard. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Crashes have killed nearly 500 people in Baltimore City over the past decade, and safety advocates say leaders have left tools on the table.

Favorite song 10 mins or longer: Television, "Marquee Moon" Banger not in English: Stereolab, "Lo Boob Oscillator" Song for when It Happens: The Damned, "Wait for the Blackout"

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

This dude rules

“Dead people are important. They’re a vital part of the eco-system: without them we would have no context. We’d also have very few houses and far inferior libraries & record collections. So: go dead people!” - Virgil S. Dinwiddie

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Everything they are doing & saying right now is very obviously meant to clear the way for mass repressive violence. Fact checking is not going to do shit. Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit. We need open, unapologetic defiance & conflict.

pam bondi is a sentient yankee candle in which resides the spirit of Morgoth

This. No matter how good their candidates and messaging are, it doesnt matter a whit when the media universe is controlled by right-wing oligarchs.

Best thing I've seen on the hellscape that is the internet in a long time.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

If you think Tylenol is bad for children, wait until you find out about guns.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

THE HYPOCRISY IS THE POINT!!

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

anti-fascism puts you on the right side of history

When freedom is under fire you can count on me to ramble and mutter incoherently.

Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

The FBI right now could probably use all those experienced senior career professionals with decades of investigative experience that they fired for absolutely no reason.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Maryland: Do you live in District 1? Family, friends? Please call Andy Harris's office and implore him to vote no on the budget bill. Over 180,000 people -- mostly children -- rely on Medicaid in his district; just about one in four (!) of his constituents (24%) are Medicaid enrolled.

It's a Mads world. @lidltrek.bsky.social

…y'all need to rehire all those DEI's because it seems like they were the ones who understood how aircraft carrier tie-downs work

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

So this is exactly what I mean. Not trying to dump on this specific person, but the idea that “bread” 100 years ago was pristine wheat and yeast is just not true.

There’s an Icelandic way of saying of “I’m gonna kick your arse” that translates to “I will take you to the bakery.” A Hungarian version is “you’re prying open the lid of the slap-crate.” And the most colourful threat I’ve come across in Urdu… “my foot is in your butt’s destiny”

Cylburn Mansion open house today, 11-2.

A Puncture card for Pederson, and a Crash card for Pogačar made the difference today. #ParisRoubaix

One of the most clarifying things I've seen in the past few weeks is "de-escalate all conflict that is not with the enemy."

What a great race. Reminds me of the three-up sprint in 2017, when Kwiatkowski pipped Sagan and Alaphilippe. 🇮🇹 #MilanoSanremo

My advice for emerging artists and pros alike: it’s time for in person events. The industry and community is scattered and algorithms are currently siloing us off. Go to cons, festivals, screenings + launches, and other art events. While social media is still shifting, invest in face to face.
