The text faded to the paywall at the same rate as my eyes would have glazed over anyway

calling my shot way in advance: election certification day, 2029, is going to see the largest no kings protest yet, with more than a million people in the streets of dc alone just a message: no fucking funny business.

Happy Merrick Garland day to all those who celebrate

Republicans completely abandoning Constitutional democracy is the only US political story of the 21st century

BREAKING: Chuck Schumer was seen repeatedly bumping into the same wall, intoning "bi-par-ti-san-ship, bi-par-ti-san-ship, bi-par-ti-san-ship."

Every major physicians' group says that children need to be vaccinated for measles and rubella. But Sierra Worthington-Park, who runs a healing crystals shop in Tiburon and usually votes Democratic, isn't so sure.

Five years ago.

Watched the America250 projection on the Washington Monument tonight. Mentioned: Columbus, Ford, Edison, Lewis & Clark, both World Wars, AI. Not mentioned: The Civil War, Lincoln, Native Americans, immigration, slavery, race, civil rights, MLK, Vietnam, or any woman.

Bannon: Flood the zone with shit. Dems: This is the real piece of shit. Dems: No, *this* is the real piece of shit, that piece of shit is a distraction. Dems: You're both wrong. The real piece of shit is over there. Dems: Guys, guys, we need to stay focused on the *true* piece of shit; Mamdani.

Every administration tries to fight the failures of the last. And I think most Democrats understand the failure of the Biden administration to be the continued existence of the Republican Party.

There’s so much Miller on the timeline, cleansing with Dolly Parton and a cat ✨

SIX MONTHS FROM NOW: GOD: You want to tell me why you died wearing panties fighting for the Danish Foreign Legion over a pile of snow? ME (defensively before going to hell): Hey man, isn't knowing this sort of stuff your job?

Report from Georgia that gives a picture of what’s happening with influenza. Flu hospitalizations 2024: 427 Flu hospitalizations 2025: 1176 Flu deaths 2024: 0 Flu deaths 2025: 27

i bought some new exercise shoes and they're nice

claude code is fucking insane i know literally NOTHING about Hegel. ZERO. and it just built me a complete system of German idealism

Maybe the vibes are so rancid because subconsciously we all know tomorrow is January 6.

We were so innocent.

The man is 81 years old, can barely stand up without a cane, and it still talking about what Republicans "should" do, not what he's going to do to them (which, to be fair, is nothing.)

we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

Imperial boomerang: I live a block from the courthouse where Maduro is to be tried and the cops have blocked off all the places my 7 month old puppy likes to poop.

My completely unscientific survey of "what I saw on social media" is that Venezuelans in Miami, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, wherever are super happy and Venezuelans in Caracas are scared

Even across the river in Bergen County, I feel that we benefit.” Michelle Carvell Englewood Cliffs, N.J. “I supercommute weekly from Kingston by bus. Each week, my bus round trip is 30-60 minutes faster than it was before congestion pricing.” Amazing results

Not sure that even Fox News viewers would differ much on this point.

I think he’s starting to crack.

The original Burger King in Mattoon, Illinois. As a result of a court case, the other Burger King is not allowed to operate within 20 miles of Mattoon.

Imagine being so based even your AI girlfriend breaks up with you over it

wish i could tell him that a linear algebra machine programmed to keep him engaged has used the most powerful tools of prediction to determine that what he really craves is to rejected

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry

Wondering whether the admin thinks this helps them recover some of that Hispanic vote share they’ve tanked with ICE, TPS, etc.

Every time you think you have an understanding of the depth of Trump's pathos, you find out you're wrong--and it goes deeper.

today is the 10 year anniversary of me and @samtlevin.bsky.social starting at @us.theguardian.com aka the most important double hiring of half-Chinese/half-Jewish Bay Area alt-weekly staff writers in journalistic history

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

I cannot stress enough how bad of an idea it is to take your babies to visit a loved one in the hospital right now. Please don't.

We are bowling, and there’s a man here who is Serious Bowler™️ and he has a standing fan on the table just for his hand between bowls. I love this for him.

would absolutely love a print of this

Spot the downward spiral in this picture.

Medicine, but you have to fight for the other team.

A mantra I would like the ppl on this site to repeat to themselves every time they think Trump has some brilliant master plan:

yeah the press fucking loves war. will not stop gushing about it. i have no idea why, i guess because it's good TV? the iraq war had to go extremely south for years before they deigned to notice that it had and that the general public hated it

Mamdani's New York would rack up another win.

cards on the table what i actually think the goals of american strategy tomorrow should be 1: defend liberal democracies (ukraine, taiwan) from foreign aggression 2: TIE THE KING'S HANDS by binding america logistically-economically to our liberal democratic allies

and (controversially) 3: try to divest from shithead allies (hungary, israel) who are demonstrably uninterested in the liberal-democratic project

…

Outstanding work and yeah, clocked.

My shitposter's theory is that Trump, who can't find Venezuela on an unmarked map, handed this to Rubio, who definitely can, and now Rubio is using it as a trial run for an assault on Havana because he's a Miami Cuban in his bones and those people can be the most vindictive assholes you've ever met.

Discworld QOTD, from Equal Rites “Zoon tribes are very proud of their Liars. Other races get very annoyed about all this. They feel that the Zoon ought to have adopted more suitable titles, like ‘diplomat’ or ‘public relations officer’. They feel they are poking fun at the whole thing.”

#SkySunday So this happened and I’ve never seen anything like this before! Those ovals have wispy clouds inside that look like feathers to me. Have you ever seen anything like this before?

oh noes

it is a good time to take up a couple of short daily walks around the same natural things, even a tree or a shrub or a bush. noticing how they are moving along, day by day, knowing that the light is coming. like waiters laying the tables in a quiet empty room for a party that will suddenly arrive
