This is what fascism looks like.

Honestly I don’t really want to be there for that last half-hour anyway

I do not care that you are not “surprised.” Please. You have no idea how tiresome it is when you post that something horrible, fascist, authoritarian is “not surprising.” Nothing is “surprising” anymore. But a lot of it is horrible and frightening. Let’s deal with it together.

i’m finding it requires more and more cognitive dissonance to enjoy indulgences as the fascism becomes increasingly omnipresent and suffocating

Damnit, Dave. Now we have to learn how to cite a skeet.

Favorite film ever

Phish knew this.

Show #63 🐠 🩵 💃

A) people recoil in horror when I tell them the amount of reviewing I do in a year B) sometimes I do service because, if I didn't, a person with less power would be harmed (e.g., tenure) C) women are treated very differently when we say no to these types of requests

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better. But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

A moment of silence please for #USAID, which is officially shuttered after months of dismantling. Why a moment of silence? Not only for the employees. But also for the estimated 14 MILLION deaths by 2030 predicted without the agency. @altusaid.altgov.info www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Governor Polis chiming in

Another day testing the limits of resilience. The Alexandria NSF building was designed for the NSF merit review process (gold standard), complete with a floor devoted to panels. Now we aren’t allowed to have in person panels. The loss of US science leadership will haunt this country for decades.

The Republican platform for women is now just: "get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich."

This lady put her sunglasses on like fuck around if you wanna

I really think Noem’s plans to “liberate” California from its democratically elected government with military force should not have gotten lost in the news cycle but that appears to be exactly what is happening

So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

By 11 am, several hundred people were gathered in LOVE Park, including an Elvis impersonator and a man in colonial garb carrying a sign that read “Philly bows to nobody.” Protestors awaiting the noon rally sang karaoke to songs like “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” next to the LOVE sculpture.

A study from JAMA Pediatrics compares states that have permissive gun laws with others that have strict regulations. The states with tougher rules did not see a rise in gun deaths among children and teens.

NPR story about the #BethesdaDeclaration www.npr.org/sections/sho... 1/n

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

in so many videos out of LA i am seeing officers aiming rubber bullets right into crowds, this is filling me with a deep and anxious rage knowing what happens when they do that www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Imagine if it were two women behaving like this.

i'm starting to see some scoldy posts pointing out that we are laughing about a fire on the deck of our sinking ship and i have to be honest once the ship started sinking i decided i would take the laughs where i found them

Something I’m enjoying is watching the right try and make this situation “masculine” when it is two extremely catty and weak-seeming people having a petty, messy and passive aggressive argument in public, refusing to talk to each other at all

Personality disorders are rare. Hurtful behavior and patterns of abuse are not. Pathologizing bad behavior stigmatizes folks with real mental health diagnoses, and makes it harder for everyone to recognize or change harmful behaviors in ourselves and others.

We really need to start caring about lying, as a society

two things can be true. i can be cold AND want ice cream. we contain multitudes.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

“I struggle for adjectives to adequately describe the horror that this administration has visited on the world,” said a former State Dept official about the damage done by Trump and Musk abandoning America's humanitarian aid commitments.

NOW— Mass ICE arrests happened/are happening at the Manhattan immigration court at 290 Broadway on the 20th floor. I was just outside the building and an observer came out crying, confirmed they witnessed people getting detained outside courtrooms while families watched and wept.

What if mad cow, but for the internet.

Oh my god

I tried reading some papers on heteroscedasticity but it just didn't feel normal

Homicide rates: NY 4.5, FL 7.2 Life expectancy: NY 79, FL 76.1 Uninsured rate: NY 4.8, FL 10.7

I am going to assume this is a "1 minute read" because all it says is "racism"

When I was in school, we were taught that one of the reasons communism was bad was that people weren't allowed to choose their own work, but rather had to do whatever work the government decided they should do.

BREAKING: Texas passed a bill requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. We will be suing.

The HHS is now telling medical centers to adhere to their latest sham report on transgender healthcare which literally says is not a treatment guideline. They’re sending this letter to hospitals in blue states and threatening them unless they stop trans care. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/...

Bill Watterson is a prophet. I have so many Calvin and Hobbes books from my childhood.

“In city after city, violent crime has declined so much that it raises the possibility that the country’s murder rate this year may drop to the lowest ever recorded.“
