For JD, this is actually a pretty good look. If you can't be loved be feared, and he is one unlovable fuck.

I just had a series of texts where I gave up more and more on spelling Leon Draisaitl's name. He's Dreis Do'Urden now.

The SAVE Act is the GOP’s dangerous attempt to make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to register and vote. Urge your Members of Congress to protect our voting rights by rejecting the SAVE Act: win.newmode.net/declarationf...

Dude has PENMANSHIP.

Craziest part is this was for EVE Echoes, the mobile version, not for a PC version alliance with huge resources. But we were able to pay him above average for entry level HR in his city, ensure he wasn’t housing cost burdened, and I got to recommend him to a company that hired him into their HR.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

People are already mad about Bad Bunny's performance next week. By people I mean, of course, complete assholes.

WE GOT A LAMBO!!! #WorldBollardAssociation

between all the bookstores he put out of business and now the books section of the WaPo, you could make a case that Jeff Bezos is the greatest enemy of literacy there has ever been.

“Where the GOP learned to lie as a matter of course is an interesting question, and I’m afraid I’ve had a front row seat. I think it’s the climate fight, more than anything else, that taught them to regard reality as optional.” Read @billmckibben.bsky.social on how we reached this moment

There is a perfectly cromulent word for people who don’t feel they’re in communion with the Pope: Protestant. There’s a multiplicity of traditions over there! And you can create your own!

RUN. RUN FAR AWAY FROM THIS CONTEST.

Racism is why Republicans are attacking immigrants. It's always been racism.

People want a magic button to fix everything when really there's just a whole lot of fucking patch cords and levers back here. So when you feel like saying, "It's not enough," remember it all adds up. And maybe think of one more small thing you could do.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) - Federal judge blocks the Trump administration from ending legal protections for 350,000 Haitians.

This will generate twenty times more electricity than the previous wind farm on the same area. The dismantled turbines had operated for 32 years. In every one of those years the Greens were told that they are well meaning but foolish to think that renewable electricity is viable.

Today is the paperback release day for my book The Contagion of Liberty! It’s about how Americans demanded that their governments provide inoculations for smallpox to the public as their right and also to affirm that public health is a foremost duty of government. www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/...

ME: Well, when you buy a classified ad they charge by the word CHOTINER: But you must have known people would find it sad ME: I mean, I knew it might help make a sale but— CHOTINER: And to be clear the baby was not dead ME: He just grew out of them too fast! I didn't intend— CHOTINER: Fraud? ME: No!

*Hedgehogmobile, he muttered darkly

It’s your city, from the sidewalk to the skyline. The David Dinkins Municipal Building’s rooftop is open & free to everyone, starting this June.

There’s the winning message. They finally nailed it.

CBP/ICE officers commit more crimes per capita than undocumented immigrants is quite the statistic.

The orcas have discovered fire.

every Chotiner interviewee:

Okay! This has already inspired a bunch of DMs, so I made a page on the website. If you have 50,000+ Skymiles and would be willing to book flights to get someone home, please fill this out.

And... yeah, I guess that could seem like a thing that might happen if you had no idea how anything has ever worked.

Two days ago, the president used his social media platform to endorse this "phenomenal candidate" and to urge "all America First Patriots" in the district to get out and vote for her. Today, he says he doesn't know anything about it and had nothing to do with it. He's lying or demented or both.

An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

Mayor Mamdani names criminal justice reformer Stanley Richards as NYC’s new Department of Correction commissioner Richards is the first formerly incarcerated person to lead the city’s jails system @gothamist.com @wnyc.org gothamist.com/news/mamdani...

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Oh

Vaccinate your kids, you friggin nuts.

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

ICE is camped out at a free clinic/food shelf on the Northside if you'd like to see how de-escalation and targeted enforcement is going.

The name of the publisher of the @nytimes.com appears in the Epstein data base 72 times.

pizzagate and qanon were not onto something, they were orchestrated by pedophiles to make accusing people of pedophilia make you look insane so that they could continue doing pedophile shit. fucking christ

As a side note, it’s funny to see so many of these emails with thirsty academics repeatedly enact Marx’s bit in the 1844 Manuscripts about the power of money. “Oh Mr Epstein, your house in New York is enormous and, unrelatedly, your questions at dinner were so intelligent, so insightful, so deep.”

A reminder in time for the Hugo nomination deadline! I know 2025 was a BANGER year for novellas but I'm incredibly proud of this one, and would love to see it on the ballot 🔥👻

Probably obvious, but however much Your Man thinks about the Roman Empire, previous generations's men thought about it way more.

And with that "Streetsblog is unsure what that means" became a permanent intrusive thought and unwilling part of my vocabulary

Those cinema ticket booking screens we've been seeing, where maybe three seats have been sold? I'd bet money that *every single one* of those seats went to somebody hoping that their snarky one-star review would be the one to go viral.

Unsolicited boost for Carhartt: I've been in Montreal for three days walking a dog whose response to "it's 1 deg. F" is "I know! Why aren't you hanging around outside with me?" My legs: cold. Hands: Sometimes cold. Feet: Sometimes cold. Everything the jacket covers? Great, thanks.

When I try to explain to people that investors are generally very, very stupid people this is what I mean.

This is a waaay more interesting legal argument than the standard "you're liable for climate damages" lawsuit. So many parties are at least a little complicit in that. But "You, oil companies, colluded to slow the transition you knew was inevitable," ooh, that's juicy.

Not really. Rand Paul is Chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs. He could start issuing subpoenas *today* and holding hearings by end-of-week. But instead he’s standing in front of a camera going “This is bad, somebody should really do something.”

i say this as someone with at least a mild background in cybersecurity — tiktok is now trump/fedgov spyware. you need to delete your account and app ASAP. just because the app isn‘t open doesn’t mean they won’t be harvesting your personal data to target you. queer folx get the fuck off that app

I really should have reposted this FIRST and saved myself a lot of trouble this morning.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.
