Ukraine has also hit the port at Primorsk, Zelenskyy says, not only striking fuel infrastructure but also damaging a Karakurt-class corvette which carries Kalibr cruise missiles, a patrol boat and an oil tanker. #explodey

Ukrainian drones have hit two oil tankers waiting to be loaded at the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk. #explodey

Can anyone name a newspaper story in the past decade that has had greater impact than the Herald's Epstein series? www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

This is a separate result from this earlier one I posted: bsky.app/profile/tani...

RESULTS from Texas: The school district of Grapevine Colleyville, near Fort Worth, drew national attention after conservatives running on an explicitly Christian message took over the board (archive: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...). Voters just ousted 3 conservative incumbents tonight.

our pissed off neighbors to the north are not "punishing" me personally by moving away from reliance on my government, which is currently openly hostile to them and has proven itself an unreliable partner. but i am aware of the consequences

no american — but let's be realistic, democratic — government should have normal relations with israel, both for the obvious reason and because the government of israel is openly hostile to american democracy. to put this in terms of "collective punishment" is absurd

I believe that the conquest of the Beltway by utter cynicism is directly the result of the immense amounts of right-wing patronage making stars of schmucks. The media has been corrupted exactly the same way FedSoc has corrupted the judiciary.

That the Sacklers all avoided prison and remain billionaires is one of the greatest indictments of the American justice system of my lifetime.

Here’s a WSJ article about these guys from last August with the paywall removed archive.is/202605010040...

Ukraine keeps innovating and now they have an anti-drone 5.56 round called “the little pea” that fires out of a standard M4 www.wearethemighty.com/tactical/you...

This is the most Ukrainian thing ever- resourceful, badass and indomitable

High tech weapons and a computerized arsenal of death are no substitute for the Ukrainian equivalent of a handful of good ol’ boys from Jasper who just heard deer season came early

Meanwhile in Russia… “The Immortal Regiment march in the Chelyabinsk region was moved online.” But what if the internet is blocked? 🇷🇺: 😅 www.interfax.ru/russia/1087073

Christian Nationalist company towns are popping up across the country. The rich people behind this movement somewhat resemble the Gilded Age moguls who built libraries, but they are even more ambitious in their vision for how the rest of us should live. opb.org/article/2026...

It's appalling, and it's not going to get them in the good graces of the right, if that's what they are thinking. The right doesn't actually want any goddamn books around.

One way you know BlueSky has the juice is how it exists in so many people's heads exactly how they want to envision it. We're all paid Schumer defenders! And everybody agrees with Will Stancil, who radicalized us. Hey, there's Communist Jamelle Bouie! Also there's no sports, BlueSky hates sports.

carefax explained if you’d like to cultivate better relationships:

If I were writing YA I'm not sure I would want to be published by an imprint that advertised ahead of time that my book was purposefully neutered to appeal to busybodies who would still be likely to find fault at anything that did not exactly conform to their own particular brand of repression

Why am I learning about your state's Senate candidate at the same time your state is learning about your stare senate candidate. That's crazy.

You wouldn't keep getting these terrible candidates if the party focused on building benches and people didn't try to make every promising state/local politician a national star right away.

perhaps the best quote i've ever had a story end with www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/t...

We have not even begun to grapple with the level of rancidly evil stupidity that the damn thing is called “DOGE”

I’m old enough to remember when he thought covid was real enough to try to send CPAP machines and pretend they could be ventilators

U.S. Senators ban themselves from trading on prediction markets boingboing.net/2026/04/30/u...

Men will say "honor us or else we'll engage in a bunch of stupid brutal violence" and then do the stupid brutal violence regardless.

Fox News reports that former FBI director James Comey has been indicted in relation to his “8647” post on Instagram last year.

Shame on everyone who bought the BS from Republicans about "free speech" over the years. They have never believed in it at all, never will. They just have a politics of grievance. www.huffpost.com/entry/fcc-di...

They also used to use more than one source for front page stories but lol that's long gone too

Love seeing the NYT post a fancy listicle to get discourse going and I also remember when I was at Eater and pitched a fancy listicle to an editor there they said "we don't do that kind of thing here" in a response dripping with derision lol

"Electrifying industrial heat in India is now cheaper than producing heat from natural gas and oil across all temperatures, and cheaper than coal in three of five temperature bands, representing 55 percent of the country’s industrial heat needs."

One thing I really wish the focus group had gone into more is the media consumption habits of these people. Many are clearly regretful and feel like they were misinformed in 2024 but also seem pretty badly misinformed now too! I'd be very interested to hear about where they get their news

Once again I feel a surge of contempt for the useful idiots who helped promote and normalize this shameless Nazi.

The moral degeneracy of the entire elite class shocks me afresh every day, and I really thought I was beyond that. They were all waiting for their leper messiah, and down a gold escalator he came.

Is his idea that they would start having that dinner AT the White House? I mean, I guess that would at least eliminate all pretense of an independent WHPC 🤷🏿‍♀️

For the “tone down the rhetoric” crowd, Trump literally posted Obama’s address and the next day a 1/6 guy armed to the teeth showed up casing the residence.

Trump and Elon Musk destroyed most of the global H.I.V. program that saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Zambia. Now the US is threatening to cut remaining support, unless Zambia gives access to the country’s mineral resources. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

Did any of the Sunday Morning shows ask a Republican if this President’s rhetoric is too violent? Or is it just up to Democrats to keep quiet about it?

Joe Biden and the Democrats had set us up to succeed. The GOP and Trump have just thrown it all away for the reasons that you said. They don’t care about their own grandchildren and great grandchildren‘s futures evidently.

We have lost the modern "arms race" of green technology - entirely due to the greed of the fossil fuel corporations & the corrupt politicians they fund.

however many seats you think you need in Nov, add one because this dude is not just a Republican he is maga base

am I insane or is everyone forgetting that the WHCD is not hosted by the government? Even if the ballroom existed, the press - theoretically independent! - shouldn't be holding their event AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Right, it's important to remember that this is unfortunately a fairly common experience for most presidents, but normally presidents don't spend all their time crying about it in public.

obviously the 24 kt gold plating is essential now too and id like to see you libs even try to argue against trumps gold plated 30 ft tall mechanical spider right now, go on try me
