STRAWBERRY POP TART PEEPS

I'm exhausted by all the efforts to rewrite the history of the 2022 US Senate primary in Pennsylvania, with folks insisting "we told you so!" as to Fetterman, that Conor Lamb was always the better choice, and generally ignoring Malcolm Kenyatta's historic candidacy. So let me say a few things. 🧵1/

uhhh oh my god

LMFAO I LITERALLY KNOW EXACTLY WHY THIS HAPPENED AND I CAN CONFIRM TO YOU IT'S ENTIRELY 100% ON THE PART OF WHOMEVER PROGRAMMED THEIR PHONE SYSTEM THIS WAY 👇🏽🧵

Hey @axios.com, it’s actually nine jets, four of them luxury, with another luxury jet on the way. You’re only counting two luxury jets and the one on the way. Please credit me when you confirm and update your story, thank you! gillianbrockell.ghost.io/noems-luxury...

The Conference of Catholic Bishops is... not playing around in this brief. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

Brilliant and very accurate.

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

🧵🚨🧵 MEGATHREAD WARNING 🧵🚨🧵 Brace yourselves for a thread of some of the bigger threads I've posted on here. These are all impossibly niche and littered with an embarrassing amount of typos. You have been warned. 1. My magnum opus is certainly this thread about the fonts of Star Trek

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Every time Mueller she wrote does something I get a shit ton of notifications. Being told the web archive link has been "excluded". I'm guessing she asked for it to be taken down. Anyway, here. archive.ph/x62do

Plans to invade Greenland have just been cancelled after this

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

I'm a reporter and editor with Task & Purpose. I want to talk to VA employees, better yet Minneapolis VA ones. What has the VA said to you after Alex Pretti's death? Has there been any message? Any asks not to discuss? What? Will protect sources, use 1st names only, etc. Signal handle is nslayton.12

for the weekend crowd: I dug into a new podcast that pins a bunch of notorious murders on a long-dead Jewish man from San Diego. It's the ugliest true crime property in recent memory. [gift link] defector.com/michael-conn...

@fritschner.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social I am *begging* you guys to realize how many of our problems are downstream of the mainstream media hating your guts and how many problems you've caused for yourself by refusing to act like it

Dolphins have names for one another, and call out to each other by name. However, all of them are named “Hey, Motherfucker.”

"As the White Walkers marched inexorably south, nearly 90 percent of the Realm insisted on calling them monsters, abominations, and evil incarnate. The Democrats of the Seven Kingdoms cautioned against such language." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

MTG on the Epstein scandal—"elites doing horrible things and getting away with it"—may have an egalitarian air about it, but only if you fail to read it alongside the rest of her conspiracism. She's talking about the Jews. She's always talking about the Jews. flaminghydra.com/marjorie-tay...

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars. <Later> Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.

Today I wrote about our white supremacist political movement's perverse insistence that "we don't have to apologize for being white anymore." Conservatives have been apologizing, apparently. Did you know? I had no idea. So I asked, and here's what I found. www.the-reframe.com/apologies-fo...

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles. When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies. This is outrageous.

New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok! So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-nyt-re...

Looking for a Christmas miracle for a kitty (aging parent situation) for Baltimore pals: (1/2) ""My mom can no longer keep Angelo (alas!!!) and we are looking to rehome him. Angelo is a total sweetheart. He is 6 years old, gentle, playful, friendly, and a lovebug."

My 11-year-old: [reading the Miners' Ten Commandments at the Gold Discovery Museum] What's this mean? Me: It's telling the miners--you won't get to rest on Sundays, because you'll have to do the work you'd rely on women to do back home. My husband: You find gender everywhere. Me: Because it is!

It's a whole genre it's beautiful

When I was in high school we made 69 jokes but the economy is so bad kids these days can only joke about 67

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment. It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

yes. she investigated the case of why everyone at the new york times hated her and discovered that it was because she was too smart and too brave.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...
