This is a very thorough look at the bad and the good aspects of Hamilton. Equally great for people who ask "Why do people hate it?" and "Is there anyone left who DOESN'T hate it in 2026?"

looks fun

Man currently living in the country with the highest per capita (and by raw numbers) incarceration rate AND most police murders in the world: Man, I'd sure hate to live under the Chinese police state where they can just lock you up for NOTHING

Mamdani announces $15M for trans healthcare, includes launching a call/text resource support line. Notes city Law Dept filed an amicus brief against subpoenas for medical records. Hospitals suspended care to trans youth following a Trump EO. This seems to try working around that, doesn’t mention it

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!

This is a fight between the volunteers of the Democratic Party and the consultant/billionaire class of the Democratic Party. That's what it is.

‼️ Hundreds of election deniers and vote suppressors will be on the ballot this fall. Some are running to play a major role in the vote-counting in key swing states. Others are running in races that could determine control of Congress. Here are the candidates to pay especially close attention to:

Americans love foreign short-term visitors, but will throw anyone who tries to stay into a concentration camp.

So an elephant pissed all over the floor at a Republican convention & a rainbow appeared over The Kennedy Center as they were removing Trump’s name & as a writer I have some thoughts.

A UFC event on the White House lawn feels like a honeypot for the most aggressive prediction market insider trading/fight fixing scheme in history.

This is somehow less of a desecration of the Aunt May character than Trouble.

News like this proves why @nogodsnomayors.com 's Immortal Precept #1 is Respect for the nation of Albania and its people, not necessarily its current government.

"83% of LLM users could not quote a single line from essays they had written minutes earlier. When the LLM group was forced to write without AI in a follow-up session, their brain activity did not bounce back to baseline; the researchers coined the term 'cognitive debt' for the lingering deficit."

If you know Boston, you’ll appreciate this. A perfect Storrowing! (Photo from reddit - www.reddit.com/r/boston/s/R...)

Throughout all of human history, we have experimented with our genders, sexualities, and identities. Across continents and cultures, we have existed outside of the binary gender roles. Boston DSA believes and fights for every human to exist in the way and manner that they desire. 🧵

Want some good news? Just found out the SAVE act died again in the Senate. It was close, but your pushbacks and your calling and your rage worked. They wouldn't be working overtime to silence all of us if it didn't matter. Keep fighting, keep resisting. 💪

Long Covid Estimate Revised Up After Researchers Include People With Long Covid

"Armed with shields" They're not Captain America, y'all, though I suspect any version of Cap except the Nick Spencer one would be on their side.

Incredible language. "Armed with helmets." "Armed with gas masks." And what were the police armed with? And what arms did those police discharge against the protesters? Helmets and gas masks, treated as incitement, treated as valid cause for overwhelming force used against peaceful protesters.

Happy Pride Month y'all! 🏳️‍🌈 youtu.be/rd3x2Bg7bxk?...

Ed Markey tears into Seth Moulton: "Massachusetts deserves better than a senator who scapegoats trans kids." The crowd goes fucking wild.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Morris Day and The Time responds: "Contrary to rumor, Morris Day & The Time will not be performing at the 'Great American State Fair.'"

Did Something Happen In The Last Six Years That Could Have Caused A Decline And Loss Of Energy Everywhere? Anything? Anything At All? No. We Couldn’t Think Of Anything Either. Lockdowns, I guess.

When I see an AI summary, I avert my eyes like I walked in on my grandmother changing clothes.

this is the thing about people who say they need to be exposed to more perspectives: no you don’t right wing perspectives are dogshit, especially these days - it’s either vicious, preening meanness or it’s the most obvious bad faith trolling you’ve ever seen there is nothing to be gained from it

Finally, a clear repudiation of the brain-dead “it’s just a tool” argument that gets floated cynically about every new technology:

Land of the free.

the thing about negotiating on trans rights is that we have not actually received a counteroffer. no one on the right or center is laying out whatever kind of Limited Transness Plan this would entail. doesn't even matter how I feel about incrementalism - WHAT INCREMENTS?

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

Josh took me out with "The penis-freezing is just the tip of the iceberg, both figuratively and literally." 🤣🥶

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

idk how to tell you this but people in their 30s and beyond do not have to subject themselves to the aesthetic judgements of teenagers. you can have a distinct culture. you dont have to breathlessly ask if the thing you like is chopped! we havent been young or cool in a while!!

Remembering @worstpossible.world 's Last Of Us episodes, there's something about the Red Button/Blue Button meme that feels incredibly Neil Druckmann-coded to me.

I grew up on stuff like Looney Tunes, early Disney animated and live-action films, The Marx Brothers, The Three Stooges, Abbott & Costello, and I LOVED 1960s Batman. And that's not even counting everything on MST3K!

Satire Creators Urge CDC and WHO To Slow Down With All The Source Material Please

I wrote about being inundated with AI writing at every turn, unwittingly turning my brain into the AI police, and how shitty AI writing is randomly showing up in my real life outside of the internet www.404media.co/your-ai-use-...

It feels like every time I read the news I find occasion to reference @nogodsnomayors.com's concept of "Corruption II, which is exactly like Corruption I except the money goes to me."

JFC. "Step 1: Kill the messengers. There may be more steps needed, but they will need to be devised by people who understand Good Vibes Only is our official statute."

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

the person has Been Through It and I love that they’re weaponizing their trauma for good
