I can almost hear the game from my upstairs neighbor’s TV

The Luddites' actual argument was that automated looms meant expensive, skilled workers were being replaced with literal children, who were then getting maimed and killed, and maybe this is bad.

Kid1, who is both an conductor and engineer for CN and has driven trains through SK wildfires himself, just sent me this video from Ontario. When I tell you they arent paid enough!!! vt.tiktok.com/ZSXkuEadE/

"Hey babe, what's the weather like?" [Looks out the window] "Looks kinda like New Vegas out there."

ICE facility for who now

Personal ranking of Chicago Mayors in my life: 1. Brandon Johnson 2. Lori Lightfoot 3. Rahm Emmanual 4. Richard M. Daley All I've known is improvement, that's the right direction. Maybe we can even hit "pretty good" mayor at some point in my lifetime.

people are being little shits about the south again, so imma go put on Drive By Truckers and cut the grass

I will be cold in the ground before I refer to it with his name.

I wonder how many little pieces of fascism we’re not seeing. My hunch is that everyone working in a government-adjacent or government-regulated industry is seeing a ton of disgusting garbage they can’t really talk about online. Not sure what it would even take to put together a big picture.

With 22 confirmed deaths since January 1st, more people have died in ICE custody in the first 6.5 months of 2026 than in the 3 full calendar years from Jan 2022 to Dec 2024 (21).

[me, trying to relate to 25 strangers at once] look, we’ve all got diarrhea right now

I went to the US for the World Cup and all I got was explosive diarrhea parasites and this shirt

Mariame said something really smart yesterday about how we need to stop trying to game out who other people will vote for and start voting for who we want to govern us. This feels akin to the way a lot of republicans vote as if the function of government is to govern other people, not me.

I'm so happy that Durbin is retiring. Juliana is going to be such an improvement.

Yep, still kinda salty about this.

poor Bill, he was six years too early on this

The cats get along 23 hours a day then get territorial and start growling in my bed at midnight

“Their women.” Jesus Christ, you’re worse than your imagined enemy.

When St. Joe’s first opened they had to repaint the 13 golden domes to have a matte finish because they were blinding pilots on approach to O’Hare

I’m from that little hunk of central time that should be mountain time, and honestly the hour difference in what the sun is doing is one of the things I miss.

The Pentagon’s $350 Billion vs. a loose coalition of leftists passing around the same $20. My money’s on the leftists.

For real though, I wish everyone would stop painting rural America with the same broad brush. Yes, there are Nazis but there are also conservationists, humanitarians, and really unique and interesting people. Also it’s fucking beautiful in a lot of rural areas.

I hope this is just bait because it definitely baited me

50% Gatorade 50% sauv blanc, a river drink

ODYSSEUS, BRISTLING WITH RAGE: thou dare attempt to pork my wife? while i’m on my big trip?

After a cost of more than $1 billion, the Everglades concentration camp has been removed from the airstrip where it once stood.

If you’re a transmasc person who wants to be included, please comment or DM! (If you’d like to be removed lmk too) The rest of you need to follow more trans dudes

Oh man, current mass culture fucking is a monoculture cargo cult, isn’t it?

I went looking for an article about a time a bison wandered into town and found a profile of a local crank from a decade ago and now I’m fighting back tears about what all was lost in the boom

This summer just keeps pissing me off between the storms, the heat dome and cyclospora.

I have been shook by how little traction the Memphis Guard shooting got here in particular. Seems tailor-made for this platform to rage about, but I barely saw anything. And it got coverage! But “US Military shoots US Citizen dead on US soil” seems like it ought to dominate the news cycle.

shoutout the chucklefuck pundit who insisted once that “environmental racism” was a nonsense term

ICE is getting scarier, which is all the more reason for us to watch them. The brave folks Rob interviews have been fighting against state violence for decades. Let this be your inspiration to find a neighborhood org, get trained, and sign up to help.

The latest murder committed by ICE in Maine reaffirms what Community ICE watchers with @uniondelbarrio.bsky.social in San Diego told me in my report for @boltsmag.org. They’ve documented increasingly hostile behavior from federal agents, a trend observed nationwide. boltsmag.org/violent-ice-...

also out of detroit: they’ve zeroed in on lettuce

so it’s pretty much all over. the only places with zero cases reported are idaho, nevada, north dakota, oklahoma, mississippi, vermont, maine, hawaii, and puerto rico. industrial ag stays winning

This is a cool project and it generates some great data for anyone who wants to see what folks are calling themselves these days

It's genuinely sick that these fuckers use "women's rights" to make transphobia palatable to liberals, and it really, really sucks how well that seems to work

I decided that since my guts are already ravaged by antibiotics and it’s not safe to eat greens, I’d go ahead and order the pasta dish that doesn’t always agree with me for dinner. That may have been a mistake.

Honestly whoever wrote this statement belongs right next to the shooter when sentences are carried out

most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.

Still thinking about Team D and how badly I want a Mayday-style series on their investigations

To date, immigration officials have shot and killed 11 people, including two Minnesotans. Across the country, they operate with no respect for human life, the law, or consequences. There's no reforming this agency. Rip it apart.

The most sickening part is that these shootings are just a small piece of the violence and cruelty. We’ll never know ICE’s true toll.

if you want to get away with murder, become an ICE agent. it's actually that simple.
