Tired: Celebrating 1776 by giving guys attacking America $1.776 billion Wired: Celebrating 250 years by giving Iran $25,000,000,000

IndyStar really going for journalistic gold with "(opposing team, with link)" reference for their WNBA coverage.

Jeff VanderMeer @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social must really like today's NYT Spelling Bee 🐝

I know they want you to listen to the audio version but just reading the transcript will generate the appropriate level of outrage.

"Remember, it's the Bill of Rights, not the Jill of Rights"

are they turning into the blue people of Kentucky?

Pretty much every headline in the NYT or the Post

The Trump administration will not rest until every elite institution has purged itself of black people. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

If you have a good Yiddish vocabulary it’s a great morning on the NYT spelling bee 🐝

There was no BeanTok under the Biden administration.

This was an amazing read.

Add to the long list of reasons why mayo is evil

Scott Kirkwood used to check out four to five @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social books a month, juggling a dozen holds at any given time. But in the last six months, he’s picked up just one book in person. Why have hold requests like Kirkwood's been delayed? The library recently explained:

It does take some doing to attempt a corrupt snorkeling expedition above a revered and sacred military cemetery

Watching the Joy Formidable tonight and thinking how The Big Roar was one of those rare, stomping rock albums of the 21st century that will absolutely hold up for listens well into the future.

One of the rare bipartisan programs that undeniably saved millions of lives and likely trillions of dollars of economic productivity. Tossed in the dustbin by Trumpism.

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

Shoutout to D-III Minnesota liberal arts colleges

“I’m just so goddamn fed up with all this,” Gina Small, 29, said in a comment on the U.S. economy that one of her friends assumed was about the world’s ongoing humanitarian crises, another friend thought was about the weaponization of America’s military against its own people.

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

Getting mercury out of vaccines so we can emit more of it in our coal plants.

plain, egg, poppy seed, sesame, everything, and cinnamon raisin

Oh, wow.

oh my gosh. This looks amazing.

If this setlist had been the aesthetic inspiration of Taylor's 1989, it would have been an utter all-timer (it's still very good).

Our new album, The New World, will be released worldwide on July 31st (!). But you can watch the JM-directed video for our first single. “Daydream Unbeliever” now. youtu.be/iqfqt1XYuds...

Medical misogyny

Two or three weeks ago I thought there was a chance that a 2026 midterm election would be free and fair. I was wrong.

sorry I seem distracted just have to keep checking my phone to see if one of my freedoms is being arbitrarily taken away

Fact-check: Mayo is disgusting. @51st.news

This was a fantastic and terrifying book.

Incredible to think that when I was young — despite generations of sci-fi writers — there was no proof that planets even existed outside of our own solar system.

Nothing is ordinary... New music - 9AM Eastern, Tuesday. YouTube link in our bio and youtu.be/iqfqt1XYuds?...

The two pictures are 11 years apart. On 10 May 1933, the Nazi Party staged an ideological spectacle of the burning of 'un-German’ books. 2nd image: Auschwitz II-Birkenau, burning pits outside gas chamber and crematorium V, 1944. #Auschwitz warns us of where ideologies of hatred can lead people.

The attacks on academic freedom at Indiana University are horrifying to everyone who grew up a Hoosier — and especially to the scholars who dedicated their careers to the institution, like my mom

Look to Lisbon and its Museu do Aljube - Resistência e Liberdade for inspiration

This was an absolutely horrible week for American democracy

What an evocative and terrifying image

SEJ @sejorg.bsky.social and the various philanthropies that support environmental journalism should look for funders willing to fill this gap.

Wow. And it’s not as if the snow and ice were cleared quickly, either.

I’m sure this lawsuit against the Atlantic and its writer is going to run smoothly.

Well … this is informative for a number of extremely icky reasons.

Personally offended that this endangered New Zealand reptile is not accepted as a word by the #nytspellingbee

Connections is a word game. It should have words. Not this.

We are well past the point where people will jeopardize the lives of their own babies to spite the medical establishment

By far the most corrupt president in history and the media has decided it isn't a story.

Aging, paranoid authoritarian leader terrified of death burrowing himself into a bunker, surrounded by sycophants and isolated from the political realities of his nation? What is this, DC?

Infinitely more deranged
