keep thinking of a vocally anti-woke reporter who insisted that the term "environmental racism" was nonsense

if you're deciding whether or not to take Matt Walsh seriously I contributed to this discourse many years ago

what is a man

Mods are asleep, post Storm Shadow and his ham tongs (sound UP)

Nick Valensi is a very good guitarist

What a terrific book

Got paid AND his job back, lmao. Keep fighting these dweebs

All right well I don’t post a lot of art I own but I did buy this set rendering from Pee-Wee’s Playhouse by Gary Panter years ago. It’s pretty cool

Anyway Gary Panter is a god

Got a Barnes & Noble gift certificate, immediately bought the Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure Criterion edition

it is a little disconcerting that none of the people in charge of anything right now seem to know how to do it. like, if you were on a bus and the driver started whipping around all crazy and yelling about how buses don’t need wheels you’d probably be like, hey. this guy shouldn’t be driving the bus

some of us work for a living

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

you studied defense procurement, seapower, sociology of the military......but its secondary to the fact that a likely dying old man has been hypnotized by the mercator projection into wanting greenland

The IDF is bad and The Voice of Hind Rajib is good

Good day to share one of my finer moments online.

i was the only home whose cable didn’t go out when the sopranos finale aired and it showed tony looking up and seeing two guys walk into the restaurant holding hands. then it cut back to tony shrugging, which you have to understand in 2007 was a very powerful statement

and then you did nothing, and clung to your seat rather than make way for anyone with the moral clarity to at least try to punish and root out the hateful fanatics who are trying to start wars with our allies that will kill huge numbers of people without multiple ice cream freezers

if you are in the DC area next week i'm moderating a very nerdy panel that should still be a good time www.aapss.org/events/entit...

telling my kids this was krypto

Just put it in my, ah, joints

I’m in this one!

My nephew is totally fixated on trains and my brother has a not-really-kidding bit about how he’d be a great politician because there’d be no way to demagogue against him since he’d always respond that we need more trains and to fix the trains no matter what the topic is. Anyway,

Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.

January 6th was clarifying for me in that in the proper context, yes, I am a liberal pussy who didn't find it funny that they almost stopped the election and took Congress hostage. Yes, it was a big deal. Twist my arm!

There should have been an effort to expel the ~140 reps who still voted against certifying the 2020 election results even after the failed coup under the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. Dem. leadership's failure to treat the GOP as the domestic enemy that it is has doomed us for decades.

Just want to let folks know that this was somebody’s idea of a joke

The author of a viral Reddit thread alleging fraud at a food delivery company tried to back up his claim by sending me AI-generated documents. Today I'm publishing those documents in the hopes that it helps other reporter see what we're up against in the age of AI www.platformer.news/fake-uber-ea...

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

I know the guy didn’t actually tase himself in the balls and die but we don’t always believe things because they’re true, sometimes we believe things because they help us live our lives to the fullest

“Let’s get this straight right out of the gate: I’m gonna fuck up, like, a LOT”

NYC love him

The gasp-laugh I made at this is something I couldn’t reproduce if I tried

My cat sure is happy

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.

A devastating story about the life and death of Lia Smith, a transgender woman and college student targeted by conservatives online because she briefly participated on the school's diving team. Lia was found dead by suicide last fall at the age of 21. (Unlocked article below)

COLLINS: Stephen, you're part of the group the president has said is running Venezuela. What are your day to day responsibilities? STEPHEN MILLER: ... heh heh. The president has asked Rubio to be the lead C: But what are you specifically doing? M: I don't want to talk too much about myself

and to many who don't!

and so soon after the tragic loss of Stop N Shop founder Stoppard Nathaniel Shop

New: Constellis, the corporate successor to notorious mercenary firm Blackwater, is now part of the ICE's immigrant bounty hunter program theintercept.com/2026/01/03/b...

I predict these firms will all hire me as a highly paid consultant despite my having $42 in my 401(k)
