The thing that makes “gutter racism” an appropriate term for this is that it goes beyond even what segregation’s savviest defenders were willing to say in public 60-70 years ago. They understood that this level of explicit racial animus was embarrassing to the cause.

just remembered the time, back when I was on twitter, that I said 'originalism is astrology for people who feel bullied by the Civil Rights Movement' and a bunch of people into astrology were like 'how dare you' 😭

"No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another" U.S. Const. Art 1, s. 9, cl. 6

Amazing how every developed country on earth except the U.S. provides guaranteed healthcare for everyone, but wealthy people in the U.S., the wealthiest country in human history, keep saying we can't afford healthcare for everyone. How is anyone buying this bullshit?

This entire administration is an exercise in discovering why you need government and then scrambling to assemble an arm while cutting off another leg.

It's so easy to forget that people, even elected officials, can at any moment simply choose to do the right thing.

Do androids dream of electric heart attacks

Once upon a time, a President who established a slush fund that would arm and fund the campaigns of thousands of insurrectionists would have been impeached before the ink dried on the paper.

"He's a menace ... I WANT SPIDER-MAN!" J.K. Simmons is at the Mets game tonight and ran into a familiar face 😂

How about this explanation… even for folks doing reasonably well in this strange economy, they can see the worst people in the world just raking in money in the ugliest of ways, and they know they’ll never be able to compete with that, and that their money will be worth less and less over time.

Why? So there are fewer hurdles to build more data centers? They’re gonna end up kicking the can down the road until Brooklyn is consumed by the ocean.

I'd like to propose that we drain all of Sam Altman's blood and then offer to sell it back to him at cost.

Trump administration cuts to grants disbursed by the USAID likely resulted in a delayed response to the current Ebola outbreak in parts of central Africa, former federal health officials have said.

I was naive enough to think that once the white nationalist policies started significantly hurting the economy, the economic elites would say to the GOP “ok, you’ve had your fun, now cut this shit out or we’ll knife you.” Ah, sweet summer child.

i don’t know much about wild animals except that: 1. you should always try and pick them up 2. their mouths/bites are extremely clean and good for you

Spotted in San Diego. “WE THE STUDENTS DO NOT WANT THIS AI IS MORE HARMFUL THAN HELPFUL”

Trump is now daydreaming about fictional victories over Iran and getting pre-mad that the media isn't covering them fawningly enough. Bonkers coo coo stuff.

This is a truly preposterous assertion. SpaceX is perhaps one of the worst examples of ‘free market’ enterprise in modern times, as are all of Musk’s ventures. It only exists because of gargantuan subsidies from the US government, even despite continually missed deadlines and rampant fraud.

In case you have forgotten who Andy Kim is, he’s the rep who came into the Capitol building after Trump’s J6 goons had trashed it, got down in his hands and knees, and cleaned it up. And ICE have gassed him. They have peppersprayed the true patriot who thinks American ideals are worth defending.

Told the receptionist at the Dr. office that I was born in '66. Receptionist: 1966? Me: No, 1866. I was born right after the Civil War and I'm 160 years old. That's why I scheduled an appointment with the doctor...

"Socialism Fucks" Seen in New Orleans, Louisiana

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

"[ICE] fired pepper balls at the senator" ICE fired pepper balls at a senator ICE. fired pepper balls. at a senator. they do this because they believe they will face no consequences. we cannot let this be the case.

You don't need AI to buy things wholesale and sell them to people at break-even retail prices without the insatiable drive to maximize profit at all costs. You just need a fucking calculator.

“President Trump just spent a few moments when he returned to the White House residents [sic] to look at one of the White House pillars and asking questions to his staff, directing them to take photos of it and touching the white pillar himself. Unclear why.” WTF man

we have now entered the late stage Udai Hussein phase of the Trump presidency

It wouldn’t be a bad idea for Americans to boycott this entire World Cup from start to finish. There’s no reason why anyone should support this nonsense.

Ronald D. Moore on meeting Patrick Stewart after getting hired as a writer on Star Trek: The Next Generation:

Perfect representation of America—he can’t read

If you start a bar fight for no reason, and someone wails on you because you attacked them, it is clinically impossible to then act in “self defense”

“Self defense strikes”

Waiting for the cacophony of celebratory car horns.

"We're being up front and honest and transparent from the start," she tells the BBC. "So how can you challenge our integrity when we're forthright with the information?" No wonder this is being sponsored by the son of the Cheater-In-Chief. apple.news/AUuvZp0aRR1W...

Three months in: * Iran has ample military capacity * Strait of Hormuz traffic less than a quarter pre-war * highest inflation in 3 years * real wages negative for first time in 3 years * gas prices up $1.40 y-o-y * highest monthly grocery price jump in 4 years And Trump still just flailing around.

A truly seductive sales pitch

We haven't had to fire any shots so it's not obvious but a blockade of this magnitude would generally be considered an act of war. We did not do this in the 1962 missile crisis, we allowed ships not carrying weapons to proceed to Cuba

Today’s Observer correction, a classic, doesn’t do justice to the context of the typo.

Reviewers in two groups were given identical resumes for Emily Clarke and James Clarke and told they had used AI. Emily's was 2x as likely to raise doubts about competence. "She can't even write a CV herself." But James "just needed a bit of help." fortune.com/2026/05/10/i...

Be nice to yourself. The world is hard enough already.

One report said normalization could take anywhere from six months to two years because of supply chain disruption, shipping risk, and infrastructure damage. Even if the Iran war ended today, US fuel prices aren’t likely to normalize this year.

If I told you ten years ago all of the Jeopardy winners, doctors, lawyers, stat-focused sports nerds, and premium shitposters escaped Twitter on a pirate ship to a website that was completely inhospitable to Nazis and phrenologists……. I don’t know, man, I’d be pretty excited.

To my peeps, and my Brown and LGBTQ friends. Never forget that your light was so damn bright they handed the world to the first asshole who promised to dim it.
