the other day my 8yo said Spanish was his third language. then he counted "uno, dos, tres..." all the way up to "nueve" and then said "uh, i forget." i said "diez?" and this kid straight up replied "diez nuts"

About the ICE agent who fatally shot a man on New Year’s Eve while off-duty: A court document "says the ICE agent allegedly whipped his sons with a belt, made homophobic slurs and racist remarks about Black and Latino people and brought a gun to a youth sports game."

Belatedly reading the (tonally weird) Politico piece on Bari Weiss University and, boy, if this isn’t a pat distillation of things. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

It was the Dunning of tymes. It was the Kruger of tymes.

He should ask if they can put some brains in his skull while they're at it.

The First Amendment doesn't protect the right to put on a costume and do a show?

You may wonder why they would assault, handcuff, and arrest someone who is wearing a funny mask and doing a silly little dance. It's simple. There is nothing the cowards in the United States government fear more than a citizen who is not afraid of them.

This is how we learn that nobody at Time Magazine has ever played chess.

Did TIME use AI to generate a chessboard where on Trump's side there are 15 white kings and one gold king, and on the other side there are just some black pawns?

ICE provoking all-out war against the Furries is one of those pivotal fatal flaws that will be studied in military textbooks for decades to come.

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work. Really depraved shit.

Reform is not enough. ICE is an agency of cruelty and lawlessness that must be abolished. We can start by holding Kristi Noem accountable.

Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

Either say "Abolish ICE" or shut up & get out of the way.

guy is 88% butt

Oooooh!

RIP CBS

CBS: She was just kidding! We actually planned to do what they wanted even after they ordered us to! Trump Admin: Good dog. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/b...

Isn't there already a baseline 10% tariff on all countries? I guess this is on top of that?

how do people live on krypton if it's made of kryptonite

I forget which account I first saw it from but they were like: things are complicated but if u replaced both the senate and house dem leaders with literally any normal community member who is showing up on the streets of Minneapolis to try to protect their neighbors, that would be an improvement

From an optics perspective... the protesters being the ones waving the US flag while Bovino et al looks like every awful nazi inspired movie we've ever seen... hats off to Minnesotans.

Spiralling.

Abolish Democratic Elites

Aside from their 4th Amendment illiteracy, if it's a person's immigration status that makes them a target for enforcement then how are they targeting random people they see while driving down the street, as we know they do?

This is actually the really simple story of the collapse of American democracy. You can explain America’s constitutional collapse in a single coherent sentence:

Donald Trump is uniting the world. Against America.

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways

Congrats to everyone who voted for Trump to lower prices! You’re now paying more for everything so Trump can feel better about himself bsky.app/profile/twse...

Not much, what's up with you?

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead. It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut. No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

it's not that hard to figure out, they need a dumb waiter (or a really really smart waiter)
