time traveler from 12 months from now just sent me this

Trump is incredibly good at forcing me to applaud slightly less-awful people and companies.

Hey maybe while we are asking for "do-overs" we can have SCOTUS reconsider the immunity decision. 🤡🤡🤡

This is hilarious for a dozen reasons, not the least of which is that Professor Toxin here is telling us to eat the organ that literally collects and filters those toxins and which still contains the toxins the animal had when it died.

I feel like there is an easy political slogan here. The golden era is the one we build. Or something like that.

Unintentional Friday prompt but: what are some DVD menus you remember having sex to?

New personal hero just dropped. (Thank you @wrenispinkle.bsky.social for sharing.)

Listening to Alligator by The National for the umpteen-millionth time and I just realized it's older than a lot of Led Zeppelin was when I was in high school. Bring on the cleansing fire, God. Bring it, I'm ready.

It sucks that our entertainment dollars are going to dickwad billionaires but if there were to be a bright side, it would be that people ditching billionaire dickwad services could *in theory* plow that money into independent creators, thus ushering in a hypothetical golden age of some kind

Community note FTW.

POTUS loves doing favors. It makes him feel like a big shot. Mamdani seems to have grasped this immediately

David Zaslav rn

Every word true.

One of the slightly insane things about the official American narratives of history and politics is that "everyone agrees" that segregation was an abomination and the dominant political force in the South for a century, but you're not allowed to suggest that it has any remaining influence today.

really good book that everyone should read right now ᵇᵃᶜᵏ ᶜᵒᵛᵉʳ⬇️

A couple times this week, I saw the Metra guy that let me on the train that kidnapped me. It's kind of a fun bonus prize at the end of my commute. I will get off the train and say hi, or "Got all my stuff this time!"

Another @tortoisebooks.bsky.social Order Fulfillment Selfie! 1219, plus some ARCs. Like Tom Cruise in Collateral, I am in a gray suit with no tie and I am on a MISSION.

For the many Platner fans here, Peters is a white supremacist, Holocast denying / antisemetic, virulently anti-trans anti-gay right-wing influencer. There's no lack of people making similar points that Platner could be reading and promoting who are not nazis.

I can vouch for Marisa, she's fantastic and will handle this story with the care it deserves.

Trump Regret at All-Time High One-in-five Americans who voted for President Trump in 2024 now say they regret their vote (20%), a 6-point increase from earlier this month

Why are we asking the Iranians to destroy Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan? I thought we already did that?

There's something kind of Millerite about the collective belief among the political commentariat in a magical, transformative Trump speech that will unify the country and silence his critics. We're twelve years into this and he's never come close, but they always talk like the next one could be it

Here's a story about his death www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

"2026 is the year of the horse" The horse:

Lovely book. Hilarious, memorable, relevant to modern America...and you may even learn you've been spelling Mariska Hargitay's name wrong this whole time. Check it out, folks.

Marge, at Itchy and Scratchy Land: "Part of spending time together as a family is spending time apart, as individuals."

One of the big problems is that the LLM systems don't know the difference between fiction and non-fiction input. It all goes in the same hopper and yiiiiiiiiiiiikes.

My parents support Costco. My parents support Donald Trump. My parents are right about one of these things.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

I am hungry and starting to eat lunch but the novocaine hasn't worn off so I'm eating like...

If you're in Chicago and you need a dentist I highly recommend Chicago Dental 312! I had an old silver filling drilled out today; Dr. Momin did amazing work and it went VERY smoothly. Plus he was a Master Chef competitor and has recipes posted on his wall, so you can put your chompers to good use!

A year ago there were a lot of well-meaning, centrist institutional types who were sure that Trump was unstoppable

A+ State of the Union counterprogramming by TCM.

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across. If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers. If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

[people getting snatched off the street, separated from their families, whereabouts completely unknown, plus everything costs more bc of the whims of a dementia-addled idiot, plus USAID was cut and killed millions, plus unbelieve tax cuts for the rich, plus plus plus] "everything is so political"

A buddy of mine is into planes but had somehow never seen THE RIGHT STUFF. I invited him over to watch it on Sunday and you know what? It still completely slaps. Now I'm listening to the theme music on my way in to my cubicle job.

Time for another round of “do you remember who was president in 2019?”

Truly a mystery

Every now and then, I remember that JD Vance smashed the "like" button after reading this tweet, then went back and unliked it five years later when he ran for the Senate.

someone waited their ENTIRE LIFE to write that headline...

Never has so much US combat power been assembled with so little explanation to the public, allies, or Congress regarding why or how it will be used. Never.

They think punk means *acting without consent* not *acting in defiance of power*
