It is extremely notable that Pharaoh justifies himself by citing *national security*. It’s “if we treat these people as people, rather than things, they might potentially hurt us, at some point in future.” This could have been written yesterday.

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

If anti-Zionism is the term people use to describe those who question the right of the Israeli state to exist, what's the term for people who question the right of Canada to exist? Asking for a 78 year old billionaire President.

No one in this administration has the attention span to read Mein Kampf. So it’s hard to see why liberals are so upset.

tell yourself that the photo of Whitmer hiding her face is actually Julia Louis Dreyfuss in Veep and you'll never be unable to unsee it

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

I wish I hadn’t already decided not to have children so I could do it again out of spite.

to agree with the Bruenig piece, you have to accept the premise that continued human presence on earth requires us to be concerned with white birthrates, because otherwise there's no problem to be solved

"People need to be having more babies" is creepshow shit and also highly annoying

if you are looking for a politics that fights for the conditions in which families can flourish you are looking for feminism. if you have ended up in “pro-natalism” you have taken several wrong turns and are surrounded by racists and eugenicists. turn back immediately and reflect on what happened

"Therapists at Kaiser went on a hunger strike in Los Angeles" is so fucking dystopian

Just a reminder that Germany led the world in science until the Nazis came to power and fired, exiled, and/or killed all the non-Nazi scientists, which was most of the scientists 🧪 www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Be mean to antivaxxers! I am so serious. They are going to kill us all. Children are dying and they’re in a tin foil hat circle jerk claiming to be the real victims of some malicious attack, when it’s just predictable and preventable childhood infectious disease as usual. They don’t deserve respect.

Remember when everybody thought disaster was averted for like a day? Good times.

I thought it was a joke but it's not. There's an actual study. Researchers at Penn & Finland engineered gum with antiviral bean proteins that ⬇️ viral load in the mouth the main site of replication for many viruses, including SarsCov2, HSV-1 &2, & influenza. www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences...

I realize this is over Donald Trump's head, but killing foreign tourism will increase the trade deficit.

The gerontocracy has real consequences: The House just passed their budget resolution -- a vote that would have likely failed if every Democratic seat was filled. Remember: We've got three Dems missing -- one who's out from illness and two others from members who died in office. Not great.

"You boy! What tariff is it today?"

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

10/10 Onion headline

the jamelle bouie secret to presciently anticipating the behavior of the president is to just ask myself what a dumbass bully would do

Just to be clear, this is how it’s REALLY going. Nothing special or amazing. It’s still down from 6 months ago.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Excellent execution of the form

I bent down to retrieve a dropped tortilla chip and bonked my head on my own desk THE ART OF THE DEAL!

Saying "Doomsday Clock or regular?" when someone asks what time it is

Y'all are going to be begging for DEI to come back. Because this is peak whiteness right now, and it's looking pretty damn inept.

When I see a country where a single, clearly incompetent and deranged individual has sole control over all trade policy, and that person makes major changes to said policy every other day with no consistent philosophy, I absolutely think "that's a place where I want to invest and build a business."

Twenty minutes before he paused the tarriffs Not even trying to hide the insider trading at this point

the United States is a very stable genius country. everyone wants to invest in it

TL;DR: The new U.S. tariff rate against our two largest trading partners is either 10%, 25% or 35%, and so far no one I've reached out to at the White House is able to tell me which.

The past four Republican administrations have tanked the US economy. But I know multiple Democrats who include their pronouns in the footer of their emails. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

Wait, so they made a white dog? A large white dog? We're all going to starve in a measles gulag, but don't worry, they made a dog?

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*

They said my artisanal hand-carved semiconductor business would never be viable but who’s laughing now?

"Look! Cool tech that captures live pregancy stuff!" OK nice but have you considered the ethical implicat- "Need not implications! We work fast and break things!" But...you're dealing with pregnancy, surely you must be consi- "MOVE FAST. BREAK PREGNANT. DO PROFIT"

This healed something in me

Travelers to the US with valid travel visas are being detained. A German man was held for 16 days before being deported to Germany. They are also going thru ppls phones and social media to see if they are critical of this Admin’s policies as a determining factor

No one could have predicted

Men would rather be subject to tariffs than go to therapy.

sure, things are bad but have you ever tried lying down on the couch and immediately being covered in kittens?

Listen. More and more people are going to get more and more pissed.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

The Nazis did this. I cant keep screaming it loud enough. The Nazis did all of this.
