I don’t know shit about Star Wars. I do love William Shatner, though.

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing. they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran. for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

Is it #FossilFriday yet again? Fine. Meet the glass sponges. With a fossil record going back to the Ediacaran, bizarre multinucleate cells strung across a latticework of razor-sharp siliceous spicules, and the current record for longevity among the metazoa, hexactinellids be WEIRD. 🧪⚒️🧵

Anybody else find it weird that we discovered bones of ancient titans that lived a bazillion years before us and instead of worshipping them as dead gods we went "ooh neat!" And made displays of them? Where's the dinosaur religion is all I'm saying.

I stole this.

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

We should do everything we can to help Democratic politicians leave Twitter behind. Help the AG out!

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine question for the hive mind: Why do some Ferengi wear little capes on their heads, but some don't? Is it just a fashion choice?

The Winter Olympics Will Make Sure Nobody Cheats By Injecting Their Penis With Acid

funny how the man who cost the Washington Post hundreds of thousands in subscriptions by canceling the paper's presidential endorsement—almost certainly the most destructive decision in the history of the paper, if not journalism itself—still has his job

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

It’s increasingly obvious that the one consistent ideological standpoint of many US conservatives is racism: the small government, states rights, pro-second amendment positions were always mere instrumental, defensive positions. /1

IDEA FOR A PERIOD DETECTIVE SERIES: "Bertrand Russell Investigates" Top logician and fearless humanist Bertrand Russell solves crimes with his powers of deduction in the 1920s. Every episode ends with him chuckling about what he'll say about it in his next postcard to Wittgenstein.

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

The last good thing Scott Adams can do for the world is to serve as a cautionary tale to everyone who’s sense of self rests on being one of the smart ones. I don’t mean that unkindly. It’s genuinely tragic in a way I can appreciate more knowing he has no more bombs to drop.
