Reading Lyz’s profile and then looking back at Tucker’s trajectory, it’s easy to just see him as a full on opportunist. He started working for the Neocon Weekly Standard when neoconservatism was cool. He became a libertarian when the Iraq War went sideways. Then he became a right wing nationalist

During Trumps first admin I interviewed Carlson and talked to him about how his rhetoric specifically hurt my life and he treated it like a big joke. Remorse that only comes when it’s convenient isn’t remorse at all.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Here's how we're taking over InfoWars.

For fuck's sake, sign up for The Onion, and get a free limited edition IW tote. A share of merch sales will go to the Sandy Hook families, which will be the first time they get any money since they filed this lawsuit eight years ago. Legal fees have been insane. Please sign up and help us out!

I believe that in order to take some small step forward, the word “bird” should be replaced with “saur” in all common names. Mockingsaur. Secretarysaur. Red-winged blacksaur. HUMMINGSAUR

What is native? What does this environment require? What can I give it? Is that thing I'm pulling up really a weed?

Those things, in their infancy, will need you to get out there and weed every day until they're established and can go on their own. But the plan cannot just be pulling up weeds. It HAS to include plans for ecosystem replacement, because crabgrass takeover is a sign of a deficient ecosystem.

I love this analogy, and to extend it: it is nearly impossible to outweed the weeds that have taken over if your goal is to return to bluegrass. The thing you need to do is plant things that outcompete the crabgrass.

Each year I know my enemy and my friends a little more, and each year there are fewer enemies and more friends. But there will always be SOME crab grass. That's just the nature of the environment I want. Vigilance and dirty fingernails will always be its price.

But each year, it's easier. Last year I was out there with big tools grabbing giant plants all summer. I didn't know their life cycle, I didn't know to get them early in the year, I didn't get the clover seeds down in time.

But there will always be weeds. You will always have to find them and make them unhappy and ultimately uproot them. As long as I want an environment hospitable to my clover and my kids, I will be out there getting my fingernails dirty, year in and year out.

You keep pulling it up by the roots and you keep working, though. Slowly, the beautiful stuff you want starts to take over, and gradually you start to see the difference. The good stuff starts to set down roots and mat and make it harder for the weeds to get a foothold.

So you weed. And if the weeding has been neglected, it is a horrible job. You are basically just ripping up chunks of turf in some areas. It's ugly, you're covered in mud, the ground is ugly, but it's how you make room for what will eventually be beautiful.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

It's frequently pointed out that NASA activities (and basic/exploratory science in general) have a fantastic return on investment, contributing far more to the economy than they take. But even if they didn't, no one's actually taking from the "cure sick people" pot to put money in the "rockets" pot.

Yep. A male-chauvinist pig will always wonder why women can’t seem to do a man’s job, but it’s still striking to see his prejudice play out.

The details here are pretty bad. Hegesth personally intervened after the military officers in charge refused to block the promotion. The officer was told "President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events" by Hegseth's Chief of Staff.

frustrating to have to re-up this again, but this essay has all the necessary facts to counteract today's news: juliaserano.medium.com/trans-people...

The ppl who deliberately did this to him should be tried for murder.

Oudone Lothirath missed four out of five chemotherapy appointments while in ICE detention and received no medical care there. Now he will likely die in a matter of days. www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...

"Many disabled people in media, myself included, owe a debt of thanks to Alice, whether she helped us personally or indirectly by fundamentally reshaping the culture around us." Very much agree with these words by @sesmith.lol on Alice Wong. disabilityvisibilityproject.com/celebration-...

remember that this shit is not only funding bigotry in the present, it's inducting new generations of kids into a long bigotry pipeline

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

It can’t be reiterated enough: Anne Frank died from typhus she contracted in a concentration camp.

After working with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal died in the country he spent years of his life helping. The cruelty is endless.

The Washington Post won a Pulitzer Prize for public service in 2022 for its coverage of Jan. 6. Their entry's capstone was a mammoth feature titled "The Attack," featuring reporting by 26 journalists. By my count, 8 of them are still at the paper. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

I'm deadly serious with this. A huge reason we're in the mess we're in is because the media treats evidenced policy like housing the homeless and decriminalising drugs as absurd, outrageous nonsense, and "you can't even say blackboard any more because of woke" as serious and meaningful.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

jk rowling uses her money to fund groups that push for transphobic international outcomes and helped bring the case in front of the English supreme court that defined trans women as "separate but equal" and removed several civil rights protections. there is no way to ethically consume harry potter

So the company and its product will be destroyed, right?

Maybe there is something to this germ theory after all…

The mother is an asylum seeker. Her 7-year-old is deaf and didn’t have his hearing aids when he was detained.

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

Former Customs and Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino’s use of chemical irritants during the Department of Homeland Security’s “Operation Metro Surge” in Minnesota is among 17 criminal investigations now underway in Hennepin County.

tl;dr: more people should watch this gentleman's speech and think seriously about what he is saying bsky.app/profile/slcl...

If you don’t think you know anyone with long covid what you really mean is that people are uncomfortable sharing their health status with you or there are people who have dropped out of your life (due to illness) that you haven’t checked up on.

Hey @shaheen.senate.gov and @hassan.senate.gov it’s not to late to issue a statement saying you regret confirming Kristi Noem to lead DHS. Your colleagues Sen. Kaine and Sen. Kim did.

The anti-trans side made bomb threats to children's hospitals. They spent a billion dollars messaging this over the last 7 years while the Dems mostly stayed silent or ducked away. But somehow, they always seem to blame trans people for their own persecution. archive.ph/E2pfS

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

They gave clippy the ability to lie and somehow that’s worth a trillion dollars and the entire economy is now based on it 🤷‍♂️

well i for one couldn’t be more excited for the possibilities of AI. finally a technology that answers the age old question ‘what if clippy was wormtongue’

I explained gay in like two seconds, that was easy, and then she asked me to explain electricity

I'm glad rich people have Tamogotchis now but if they're not going to devote their lives to ending hunger, homelessness and genocide, maybe they should go to the ASPCA and do something worthwhile but 1% harder.

Is there some scifi book about rich people assigning computers agency and "sadness" so they can fix the computer "sadness" but ignore the suffering of the real-life people they're brutalizing and/or ignoring? Anyway, either way, it's a website, it doesn't have feelings, and none of this is real.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.
