Did you forget about “remigration?” I kinda had. www.wired.com/story/the-st...

Theory based only on how well the Iranians dunk on Trump online. Last week: Iranians, “yeah, sure, we’re close to a deal.” Last weekend: Trump, “the deal is right around the corner.” Iran, to fuck with him, “no idea what he’s talking about.” Bombs. Americans, “this bullshit with TACO Trump again.”

I didn’t even know iris scammers were a thing. But if it is tech that has the potential to be repressive, you know ICE will be at the forefront. www.npr.org/2026/05/27/n...

While the Trump admin quite literally wipes the records of their most loyal devotees, they actively work to collect information on everyone else to discount their vote. www.npr.org/2026/05/26/n...

Don’t worry, the Supreme Court will have the GOP’s back. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Weird! 8 months ago the Trump admin was firing a bunch of immigration judges. And now they’ve brought in a “record new class.” It isn’t like they are stacking the benches with loyalists, right? www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I think this person is confusing a “reduction in masculinity” with the actual problem: a reduction with IRL community and social connections under the weight of globalization, corpratization and maximized quarterly profits. Along with other misconceptions! www.bbc.com/audio/play/p...

With everything else going on, it is easy to forget the Trump admin is still in control of Venezuela. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Current true health of the US economy: reliance on driving hurts the poorest people disproportionately. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Asking if we need to redefine monoculture probably isn’t the right question. But exploring the vast dominance of very few corporations would probably be of value. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBFuGdjd/

The path to fascism requires truthiness. Thank you to Stephen Colbert and The Colbert Report crew for their valuable lesson in media literacy that I carried forward ever since I watched it live. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBFBFVWT/

Ronald Reagan preyed on capitalism-driven individualistic fears so effectively, he convinced generations of individuals that “welfare queens” were trying to steal from them specifically. And now FEMA’s greeting to survivors is a fraud warning. one.npr.org/i/fis-452538...

The Trump admin pushes out another woman. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

This is a good summary of how Trump is trying to slip out of the harmful war his administration started. Will Israel allow the Trump admin to focus on assaulting Cuba or will they force the conflict to continue? www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Oh weird! The Tech Oligarchy had something to say about AI regulation! If you don’t know, “inhibit development” means it would require “guardrails” and “human decency.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Here’s your autopsy. 1. Democrats make convictionless attempts to win votes while MAGA grabs power. 2. Joe Biden is the perfect representation of elderly, hierarchical DNC bullshit. He fucked us by not keeping to his promise of being a transitional president. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It is the race to become the next gen AWS. Google and Blackstone: www.wsj.com/tech/ai/goog... Anthropic: www.wired.com/story/spacex...

Still early, but I understand why this book was recommended! I’m listening for free on Libby, FYI. “How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them,” by Jason Stanley www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/586030...

Current true health of the economy: this is just stupid. Everything is stupid. Who can think this is a good and healthy economic system??? www.wsj.com/business/spa...

Oh look, the Trump admin finally came up with an excuse for what they are doing to Cuba. Also setting the stage for another Venezuela-esque blitzkrieg strike. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Good lord, is the actual amount actually $1.776 billion? They are the corniest mother fuckers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“He had been scared of ‘rockets, mines,’ but ‘luckily it's only bullets,’ the seafarer said.” The high prices and long term economic effects are bad, but Trump’s unilateral attack on Iran has trapped sailors who are getting pressured to “go for it.” www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

The Trump admin is flaunting not only their lack of ethics, but their ability to twist our current systems to the direct benefit of MAGA faithful. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

It isn’t a good drawing, but the point is still the same.

“The [ICE] agents, court records show, were also filming high-quality footage of the arrest operation, which they would later post to social media.” An arrest where they detonated flash bangs around an infant and a toddler in car seats. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Yeah, why would we want regulation on AI when instead political ads could generate false video to imply whatever the fuck they want??? The country the forefathers intended, right?? www.lpm.org/news/2026-05...

At first this sounds real bad, right? “Pentagon quietly shut legally required program to prevent civilian deaths in military operations, watchdog finds” But then you read the program wasn’t even created until Jan 2022! After 22-48k post-9/11 civilian casualties. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

When sea levels rise and consume private property, who has claim to the water? What if that private property was owned by large corporations? This is really worth the listen. one.npr.org/i/fis-117219...

"The changes we're making across our Product orgs are based on creating more agile teams in this model." What the fuck does LinkedIn need to be “agile” about? Keeping Lynda videos up to date? www.businessinsider.com/linkedins-la...

I put this post into video form. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkKM3qkd/

Weird! I read this Wired story on Feb 3 about how influencers who inflamed the Minnesota fraud charges were heading to California next. www.wired.com/story/republ... And then today, JD Vance is suddenly harming seniors because of fraud allegations in CA. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Florida spent $1.2 mil a day on an absolutely inhumane nightmare dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” How quaint! And the only reason it is closing is because the Federal gov’t isn’t paying the $1 bil bill. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Finally finished “In This Economy?” and I can’t recommend it enough. Very consumable education on how the economy functions. A sober look at our realities and an optimistic look at our possibilities. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/737854...

This is not just the right decision, it is the smart decision. "To most people in the country, I think this is a perfect example of just how much elected officials have lost their way.” 1 seat is not worth upsetting voters of color and diluting existing seats. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Democrats won’t stop digging until gerrymandering completely buries them. “Jones, in other words, wants to give a Republican US Supreme Court the final word on state election law disputes. There is simply no way that ends well for Democrats.” www.vox.com/politics/488...

First we must break 50 years of Reagan / American indoctrination that taxes are a burden or theft. This only benefits the rich. Then we need to set realistic policies and eliminate the debt ceiling bullshit that just ends up harming the workers. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“In a letter to GameStop Chief Executive Officer Ryan Cohen, eBay Chairman Paul Pressler wrote, ‘We have concluded that your proposal is neither credible nor attractive.’" Hahahahahahahaha www.wsj.com/business/dea...

I’m 21 minutes in and I would call this episode worth a listen. The first part is about the “psychology of Wall Street” and what dangers may be looming. The Psychology of Sticking Your Head in the Sand. Plus, Ep. 2 of American Emergency. one.npr.org/i/fis-452538...

Decided to put some of the things I've drawn on products people can buy. If nothing else I will soon own two new shirts! And a few more coming soon. mxttqhuman.threadless.com

Really, really enjoying “Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language” by Amanda Montell! If you have any interest in sociolinguistics you should give it a listen/read. www.harpercollins.com/products/wor...

How’s that redistricting pissing match going? Still good? Maybe the Democrats should do a better job of representing the true interests of their constituents instead of just trying to win votes by being the lesser of two evils. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

You know what would make this thought more realistic? If more American sports organizations followed the NWSL’s lead and gave players autonomy. No drafts and players have a say in trades. www.nwslsoccer.com/news/nwsl-an...
