sound on. I’m still laughing

here’s a non-substack explanation bsky.app/profile/mike...

I have a hard and fast rule about not sharing substack links, but if you want to understand the strategy behind what Justice Jackson did in issuing a administrative stay with a 48 hour deadline re SNAP, do a little searching. Don’t just be like “I can’t believe she did that.” She had a reason.

If I was really rich, I would not complain about mayors refusing to meet with me; I would just buy a lot of Lego sets and spend extended periods in Tokyo, Italy, and France

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

i'm sure i speak for everyone when i say: carnivorous death ball 2026

We built a media company entirely out of this idea

I strongly endorse this, mostly for women. Most men don’t have this imbalance. But just try it out! It’s very useful.

𝗪𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡 (1975) WOW, it’s the 𝟱𝟬𝘁𝗵 anniversary of the dazzling debut of 𝗟𝘆𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 as the ever iconic 𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 on the @abc Network !!! #onthisday 7th November 1975 @lyndacarter.bsky.social #wonderwoman #wonderwoman1975 #lyndacarter #popculture

Couldn't find that, but I did find this cursed image of the soft drinks created for the candidates in the '64 race.

Read the thread for an amazing story.

Sorry I’m late. I had to scroll to my birth year on an app.

Today’s newsletter is unlocked and free for all! The Courts hit back at the Trump administration.

As an ad for Montgomery county, this sends a mixed message. On one hand, there are cool moms there. On the other hand, you may meet Bethany S. Mandel.

So, we don’t have a functioning government, just That Guy; the Speaker has never read a newspaper or seen anything; costs are skyrocketing; holiday travel is screwed; and That Other Guy is getting a trillion dollar payday, but it’s women who are ruining the workplace. Did I get that right.

Does anyone know where this cartoon is from? Because it's basically my whole personality now that I'm crone aged.

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

I'm following the hearing in Judge John McConell's courtroom re: Motion for TRO on SNAP benefits brought by a coalition of non-profits. He should take the bench in about 15 minutes. Follow along!

Of all the ridiculous Victorian concepts to make a comeback, phrenology was pretty low odds.

A true hero.

five years ago this would have been one of those "what would you skeet if you were kidnapped" things

Yeah, this was set to "Hide" in my settings. Fuck right off with that.

Headlines I regret seeing today

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

I will even RP this, though we are still weeks shy of Advent.

“There is power in wanting to learn more about the world in which you live, and great joy awaits when you read the whole book just to find out what happens.” A rallying cry for all of us who want more!

I feel like we all kind of forgot the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor of Virginia ran a gay Nazi porn Tumblr page.

As racist responses to Mamdani's win emerge on social platforms, consider not sharing the actual posts. Our Muslim siblings don't need to see that bullshit every time they scroll, & we can just call out the people saying those things as racist fools, & stay focused on our joy over his win 🥰

Many folks cover supreme court cases and legal stuff. They are all wonderful and I appreciate them all. A thankless service to our society. ❤️ For someone like me, who is not a legal person, threads like these can make the process more understandable and fun at the same time. 👇

Supreme Court hearing on Tariffs. Please read the thread. Put the coffee down first to save your monitors.

Happy to see common sense and equality prevail across our troubled nation. Keep showing up and voting - that's an order from the Admiral!

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

Maybe nobody in the great big world cares about this. But the public libraries in tiny Jefferson County in Northern Appalachia were in danger of losing their tax funding thanks to right-wing book banners. And we won. The library's funding is safe!!!!!

New statement from Chuck Schumer: “Despite not doing anything useful, and in fact being actively harmful to the process in a number of ways, I am here to take credit for other people’s hard work and risks.”

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong. How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

they should be — now we might expect them to have ethics, enthusiasm, and a spine
