I would kill or die for Larry

can't remember who first posted it but i read online once that the best way to think about wealthy folks buying news publications is that "nobody buys a bicycle they don't intend to someday ride"

punishing the unhoused punishes us all, example 10293810283908315902835

It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

At the human level, the World Cup is beautiful snackstack.net/2026/06/29/t...

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov, Gov Whitmer et al: from here on the ground we cannot tell who was sent here for 250 and who wasn’t, they are all just occupying forces

I will vote for a platform of de-Trumpification. It needs to be a scorched-earth removal of every hateful symbol.

I miss when 30-50 was a number of wild hogs and not years in prison for anarchism

Technically, they’re Remains now.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

Disbanding this armed gang has to be a top priority for any Democratic president

I’ve given a few bucks to each of these candidates for city council and if you live in Portland i think you should too. Even just five bucks goes a long way

fixed your headline

if you missed the thread as it happened picture this in your head then click thru

who was it that wished the replica of Trump’s arch would look like the Stonehenge in Spinal Tap bc I’m about to have great news for you

We’re really gonna regret wasting the name “Watergate,” huh

“Wanna form a union?”

The reflecting pool is being sabotaged by paid protistas

I’m sorry, no. This is not the guy who did the reflecting pool. No. Come on. We’re just putting a hat on a hat here. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

(2/2) ...which would allow independent artists to band together and collectively negotiate with large streaming platforms and AI developers. (Currently, musicians are prevented by antitrust law from coordinating, say, a mass pulling of catalogs from streaming—this bill would affirm that right)

People sometimes ask "what is to be done" about the cascading problems in the music industry. One thing you could do is contact your representative(s) and encourage them to support/co-sponsor Rep. Ross' recently reintroduced "Protect Working Musicians Act" (1/2) ross.house.gov/2026/5/news-...

yeah give me the sex pest harry carays, thanks

The claim that "Israel wants to kill its way out of every problem" is the sort of thing that tends to draw a DOJ investigation and the blocking of federal funds when made by campus actors.

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

This idea that councilors should gather behind a literal paywall to talk about the Moda deal with Dundon, to get lobbied out of public view potentially as a quorum, instead of a public meeting is disturbing. That style of access-based lobbying to policy development is over.

Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later

Hi, we saw you from across the bar, and we'd like to give you health care.

the way this stuff spreads like wildfire from slop accounts when it's people farming for likes is actually terrifying when you think about what happens when it's not something this low stakes

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

“Scots discovering tailgating” could be a real Prometheus stealing fire moment

This is the World Cup content I'm here for.

Some years it just feels like a certain team has been kissed by fate, they just can’t lose. This year the Knicks are that team. There’s signs everywhere if you look for them

multiculturalism is pretty great

Things are going on in New York right that people may not understand for thousands of years

Seattle elects a socialist mayor, wins the Super Bowl NYC elects a socialist mayor, wins the NBA finals Win your city a major sports title with this one neat trick

That’s the perfect name for this time of oligarchs: “the Re-Gilded Age.”

Some of the efforts being made in Belfast right now to protect people, because the government can't or won't, will be familiar to Minnesotans.

Current events really doing their part to bolster my decades-long conviction that stock markets shouldn't be legal.

openly promoting pogroms against non-white people.

There is a problem with the stories we tell & the way we perceive how change happens. The Union of Pinnacle Tenants, the largest tenant-led union in NYC—are the reason Mamdani took action. Organized people power is pivotal. Top down stories of elected heroes (even ones we like) are not sufficient.

I see raw milk is in the news. Allow me to introduce you to my favorite moment in West Virginia legislative history: www.eater.com/2016/3/9/111...

We need to hold the major labels and their AI partners accountable!

not saying this as a callout of the progressive caucus, the moderates do it too and it’s an extremely powerful cognitive bias that all humans are subject to. there’s a reason most organizations depend on back channels to be productive and don’t make decisions exclusively in meetings!
