Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Surprise neighbor

The whining from the worst Republican you know will be quite delicious

Releasing the minions into the 40k verse and watching them be paralysed by choice.

Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

the best argument for feminism is to just let an old woman talk at you about her career experiences

I took a picture of this guy, seemingly patiently waiting to be admitted to the property management office of the strip mall the other day. I didn’t know what to do with this image until now, though.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

I'll simply say again that for Shlaes to resurface in The Economist at this moment is an indicator of an ambient concern that Rooseveltian policies and politics are increasingly likely. The thing about the New Deal is, it was *immensely popular.* That's terrifying to certain people

The true statement that “useful and true information is sometimes offensive and hard to hear” has been turned into a culture that values offensiveness for its own sake and assumes anything offensive is by virtue of that intellectually stimulating

Sitting here crying while after getting WhatsApped the photo on the right, so let me tell you a little story about how we got here from the photo on the left and why repatriation research matters!

HowlingMutant is racking up allies, like disgraced fraudster Elizabeth Holmes

OOP New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!' www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

babe wake up the editors of National Review are adjudicating a theological disagreement between JD Vance and the Pope

Antisemitism is structurally necessary for Elon Musk's politics, because he wants to brand himself as the insurgent populist fighting the elite, but as the world's wealthiest person, he needs a definition of "elite" that is not strictly rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

Instant Catholic Just add water The church uses cookies:

Houston's top dogs in the PI psycho billboard game strike gold again. -OS

this is the least surprising thing in the world, which does not lessen the importance of investigating it

Weird way to couch this

the terrible nier gacha has a private server in the works which i would not ordinarily mention but this is the first domino that has led to a genuine japanese/american race war breaking out on twitter in the last 24 hours because elon turned on post translation by default

this is the most AV thing that has ever been AV’d

i am serious, a winning line in 2028 could just be "aren't you tired of these people? aren't you tired of 14 years of this?"

the iranian lego video guy has gotta be going “i can't top this”

Since we’re all making fun of Rod Dreher, I think about this at least once a week

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

rod is gonna have to move to austria and start a cure cover band, look how they've massacred our boy

Right wing ‘intellectuals’ begging some other autocrat for more gravy after orban loses

Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad

The creation of a mythological National Review (high-minded, intellectual, virtuous conservatism) despite the wide availability of the real, continually publishing National Review (reactionary, chortling bigotry with a good vocabulary) is a load-bearing fiction in our political system.

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

I went to find this image again this morning (to describe one of the Sad Puppy main characters) and I keep busting up because it’s so perfect down to the details of “I spent my youth in the Half-Price Books sf/f paperbacks section”

Please enjoy NINJA IN THE DRAGONS DEN (1982), which, uhm... uhhh....

“How could you possibly believe I would cozy up to an evil sex offender?”

"JD Vance is historically the least popular vice president at this point in their vice presidency." More unpopular than Dick Cheney. 😬

I have seen one good example of this plate

vance is so personally off putting that even foreign electorates want nothing to do with him

this is amazing. the pope is a guy from south side Chicago named Rob Prevost and they're about to make him reactivate Cesare Borgia

Nobody assumes the CEO of Toyota must be some sort of brilliant engineer, but we have for some reason developed this collective notion that being a successful tech CEO must make you a tech genius.

The scriptwriters merit praise for inventing ever-more creative ways for this administration to insult foreign leaders

it is very funny that someone is charging money to a bunch of losers to walk through a tunnel

Antidote to doomscrolling: the one little bluebonnet that’s trying its best this season

trump touch rabbit, a continuing series bsky.app/profile/nied...

In the '90s, punks and leftists made absurd images like this to parody American conservatism. I'm not sure you can do that today because there's not even the veneer of Christian virtue to point out the hypocrisy.

Today’s roses
