Reuters: U.S. JURY FINDS BOTH SAM ALTMAN AND ELON MUSK "HUGE FUCKING NERDS" IN SHOCKING COURTROOM DECISION, RECOMMEND DEATH PENALTY DESPITE LEGAL BARRIERS

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

Funny how after every SCOTUS ruling striking down some protection from government abuse, the officials those protections restrained — cops, prosecutors, Republican state electeds — immediately start acting in the precise manner SCOTUS assured us they no longer do.

The Mariners have got to stop subbing out their better bats in the middle innings trying to play matchup. The lineup turns over and in the highest leverage points you’re stuck with Rob Refsnyder facing Mason Miller. It just has to change.

Roberts dropping that “we’re not political actors” quote and doing this 96 hours later is nasty work

it's "Yeah" by Usher/ "Get Low" by Lil Jon. Just watch what happens to a room full of millennials as soon as that beat starts.

the answer is Fireflies by Owl City. All the rage and now just a trivia answer on quiz night at the pub. The true epitome of the generation

This discourse is so dumb because SHE DOES NOT WANT TO TEAM UP WITH ANYONE ON THE LEFT. You do not have to expand the tent for someone who is not trying to get in!!

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

The Pike’s Peak Humane Society has a social media manager who is very good at their job

The South as a region poses a challenge. But the Supreme Court has become a wretched institution, a full-blown threat to the existence of a pluralistic, multi-ethnic liberal democracy in this country.

NAYLZ

Luke Raley have a fucking night

The problem—which both the GOP and the milquetoast institutionalists seem to not be grappling with here—is that the more you close off avenues of political change through the democratic process, the more you push people to see extra-institutional mechanisms as their only option

Man, that sounds terrible. Killed with impunity by agents of the state for just being on the street and protesting? Hard to see how regimes like that can continue to claim a popular mandate.

Why is it always a problem that liberals are over-represented in higher education or media but it's not a problem that conservatives are over-represented in the military or law enforcement? What's the military doing to solve its catastrophic viewpoint discrimination problem?

JP! JP! JP!

NUUUUUUUKE RALEYYYYYY

This morning's administrative stays in the mifepristone case and tonight's order immediately issuing the judgment in the Louisiana redistricting case both provide yet further evidence of #SCOTUS acting inconsistently across otherwise similar cases based (almost) entirely upon who the parties are:

anyway the most striking thing about alito, thomas and gorsuch's pissy response to jackson is that they — and the other republican justices — seem to really buy their own bullshit. they really believe that we can't plainly see what they're doing.

I have a question about Luis Castillo that I very much do not want to ask

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

I write about people who became famous for saying and doing horrible things so I routinely get asked this question. "Did they really believe it?" Look, I get the curiosity, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what's in their hearts. They put evil into the world.

Emerson Hancock

Yes. The text of the 14th and 15th Amendments explicitly gives the power to decide how to enforce these amendments to Congress. The Civil Rights Movement was an attempt to enforce the Reconstruction amendments. By undoing the work of the movement, you are undoing the results of the Civil War.

The Senate passed the Voting Rights Act renewal in 2006 by a vote of 98-0. The Supreme Court majority gutted it on the grounds that the Justices personally dislike the impact.

JULIOOOOOOOOOOOOO

We should be doing New Deal style infrastructure construction across the country for charging stations and public transit

YOUR .500 Seattle Mariners (we are so back) GOMS

Oh my god COLE YOUNG

It's been pointed out before, but worth repeating - USAid cuts were about the same figure.

A real banger from @jamellebouie.net www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...

has the new york times ever thought about doing a focus group with someone who has read a book

One of the problems with technology today is if you're a millenial/xennial you remember when tech worked.

Every time I think Dems can’t piss me off more with all their stupid tax cut proposals, this bitch comes along and finds a way

And when I say “I believe IT will happen” it refers only to my unwavering believe that the Mariners will one day return to playoff contention

I really can’t get over the shamelessness of this. One party is emphatically pro-assassination, completely unfeeling on the subject of gun violence even when the victims are literal babies, and works hand in glove with right-wing paramilitaries. Violence helps that party by definition.

"Do you regret your heated rhetoric?" "No. Do you regret your chilled rhetoric? Do you regret sitting on the sidelines as norms fell away and so many laws were broken? Do you regret pretending like this was all normal and you alone were savvy enough to see that Both Sides Are To Blame?"

It can’t be repeated enough that *the security cordon worked* and the venue was, in fact, capable of safely accommodating everyone there. Security at the WH would work exactly the same way with someone attempting to sprint through the outside perimeter.

You can tell this guy was on bluesky because he posted very confidently about stuff it turned out he had completely wrong

This is now the 3rd yr in a row where the same dude spends every waking second pissing off as many people as as he can, he also refuses to regulate firearms, some joker gets one of those firearms and fails miserably at using it and the media subjects us to 2 weeks of "should everyone else be nicer"

Genuinely,,,, do not even bother me with all these news alerts unless it has happened. I actually don’t care if nerd prom is cancelled unless it’s cancelled because it happened there

The number of ways Trump has screwed up Iran policy is truly mind-boggling: Pulling out of the JCPOA was disaster one, that triggered them resuming enrichment (disaster two), that led to new negotiation which he disrupted by bombing last year (disaster three), that led to resumed negotiations...

what got me ... y'all got money and didn't even go nowhere sexy... you was going to bars and Arizona

Kash Patel:

YES JOSH

Logan Gilbert just caught the ball inside his jersey on a comebacker

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time. This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.
