Everyone knows that “remember me” is the biggest checkbox lie on the internet, but this is the second biggest.

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

I'm very glad Rep. Kean was able to take time off of work and get treatment for his depression. Rep. Kean also voted for the OBBB, which will kick Americans who need to take a month from work to seek mental health treatment off of Medicaid because they're "able-bodied adults".

Fascinating to see Grok accurately correcting people on X. People continually @ Grok to get it to admit to their racist assumptions like (in this case) "are immigrants more violent" and it (as far as I see) accurately corrects them. It's the way AI should work!

What a perfect way to put it.

It’s all just teams. When it’s “the Democrats want cheaper health care”, they’re against it. But remove it from “your team vs mine” and all of a sudden they’re okay with it.

Artistry on this level is hard to replicate

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios

The rise of AI-generated animal videos and images is such a travesty. Animal content has always been one of the best things about the internet and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell what’s real

My editorial in this week’s Science @aaas.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪

The pushback to this article shows me that a lot of Americans who grew up in liberal democracy have no idea how exactly liberal democracies are supposed to be different from authoritarian governments. Liberalism delivers a life of humanity and kindness free from fear no other ideology can.

also de Blasio froze the rent three times! Mamdani has pushed it up to a two-year freeze, but the main thing here is also that he's very good at *taking credit for doing things.* This is praise, not criticism! It's extremely important for politicians to do this.

absolute height of comedy is when they cut to the goal and you see how many kid keepers they've got

🎵Trashcan Sinatras, "Bad Husband" (2026) Adding Tracyanne Campbell to an already-lovely song is almost too potent. But I'll gladly overdose on this.

we are losing so much talent, progress, and hope for no good reason www.vox.com/future-perfe...

For more than 160 years, the @nasonline.org has provided independent, evidence-based advice to help the nation tackle its biggest challenges. In a new @science.org editorial, NAS President-elect @neilshubin.bsky.social reflects on why that mission matters more than ever. 🧵

London feels way cleaner, safer and more modern than when I was last here 20 years ago. US urban centers could learn a thing or hundred.

Ossoff: “The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission. And you may have seen that one of those election deniers now asks to represent Georgia in the Senate.”

Interesting time to be visiting the UK! I really feel this, though: that we need to be moving any bit forward instead of trying yet again to find someone else who can possibly move us that bit forward.

We don't ask a lot of our trillionaires, but I think it's fair to demand that their products do not turn into uncontrollable missiles that can randomly kill us while we stand in our own houses.

🎵Star Moles, "Time" (2026) If you're not onto this album, get on it. Gives me a little bit of a seventies singer-songwriter feel for whatever reason.

The three players in this photo: 1. Nigerian heritage, grew up in England, and is only a citizen thanks to birthright citizenship. 2. Born + raised in Holland, has a dad who immigrated to the US from Suriname. 3. Said he wanted to “make people who look like me proud” while playing on Juneteenth

This cat on the grounds of Windsor Palace is my new “be ungovernable” mascot.

I think people have so much fun with the Reflecting Pool and Kennedy Center embarrassments because they are the rare examples of Trump incompetence and corruption that aren’t getting people killed.

IF YOU SEE THIS CLOSE THE TAB IMMEDIATELY this is a trick to install malware on your machine. it is not a real captcha system.

Good lord. Looks like the Grinch taking a piss.

Man, the London Tube beats the absolute snot out of the DC Metro. It’s going to be hard to go back.

Instead of using AI I called a friend, a good cook We chatted and I asked him what side I should have with dinner He paused. Um, cucumber salad, maybe? Could I have the recipe? Uh, okay? Here’s a quick one I thanked him I found I needed to alter it I called him again He didn’t answer

Whether it's China developing an electric car that can charge in 5 minutes or Donald Trump keeping Washington's reflecting pool algae-free for nearly 48 hours, both countries have pushed the limits of their technological capabilities.

[turning on a world cup match] oh wow, cape verde, i wonder where that is [55 minutes later] if cape verde wins it will be the greatest day of my life

New Death Cab album so good it makes me regret selling my copy of We Have The Facts and We’re Voting Yes. Alternate title: You Seem Pretty Sad For A Guy So Divorced.

🎵FILM, "Roundabout" (2026) I keep thinking this is the Futureheads when it comes on, BUT IT ISN'T. Good story, thanks.

Renewable energy is efficient and cost effective among many other advantages, and yet so many people who claim to value those things hate renewable energy, almost as though their stances have nothing to do with efficiency and cost effectiveness. 🤔

Yes, various maps apps, it’s true that I would save a couple of minutes by driving through the wall at the back of my garage and through the neighbor’s yard, but I’m still not gonna do it.

how I start every match before getting a tattoo of the underdog and screaming at the refs by the 90th minute

Surely the Bluesky moderation app is smart enough to recognize that, yes, this image contains nipples, but it is the cover of Roxy Music’s classic Country Life and should therefore get a pass. Gotta go directly to tunemine.com for this one, sorry.

Please god let this close the portal to Hell the Cubs opened in 2016

Always difficult to wrap your head around how Morrissey is both a vile human and brilliant and hilarious. “A very judgmental garden gnome named Clive”. 😂

CNN can argue that it needs to have a diversity of viewpoints on its channel, but I don’t think it can argue that it needs to have people arguing that it’s good to break the law

Known for his puffy hair, oversized handlebar mustache and a love for puns, Gene Shalit joined Today in 1970 and became arts editor in 1973. He was a middle-of-the-road critic, known for his wit and intelligence. n.pr/3QfcpDw

Holy cow! This may be the weather photo of the year. Double rainbow, orange sky over Nationals Park Friday evening. Absolutely amazing capture by Alex Warofka.

Okay, the new Olivia Rodrigo is hitting. Not as hard as some of the GUTS songs, but...I'll give it some time.

There is one very simple reason that bigger personalities stay on X: engagement. They just get a ton more there than they do here. And on Threads, too! So if are wondering/complaining about that, like and/or repost literally everything you like on Bluesky.
