I'm sorry, I can't tell Louis Theroux and Mo Rocca apart until they start talking. I'm being vulnerable here.

Also, their nicknames for the U.S. President and Vice President.

“Null and void.” 🤡 @yahoofinance.com finance.yahoo.com/news/malaysi...

if the NYTs is concerned "trans issues" are costing dems votes, they have a big megaphone - they could loudly debunk the lies, myths, and dehumanisation of the right

When someone mentions "trans issues," they should be asked what those issues are, exactly

Never fund DHS again. Abolish it completely. If someone wants to moan about "but but we have to ____" yeah fine we can discuss a new department, but *this* department has to go.

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

God, he is such a huge ****ing nerd and we do not deserve him.

This is not about the politics of it, although many people will try to make it so. Thank you @meganwachspress.bsky.social for being willing to expose private vulnerability in service of public accountability.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

It took becoming a professor myself to realize the implications - what it means to be attracted to someone who categorically has less power than you. I don't know if it's disqualifying, but there are too many women not getting a platform as a result of behavior like this for me not to say something

Inks done! Image area about 6 x 11"

All right! Pencils are tight, now. I'll likely lose about a third of the detail here when I move to inks*, but it's the first page of the comic, and I want it to be its best. *For my first three books (maybe more), I was a loose penciler, additive inker. I've grown into a subtractive inker!

Years ago, I made a joke about billionaires on Twitter without mentioning anyone by name, and this guy, whom I've never followed and never exchanged any messages with, blocked me. So I guess he uses the time other people use for introspection on seething resentment instead.

Pinot Noir pairs well with thunderstorms.

Isaac is at it again. Shut up Isaac. Shut up Isaac's interviewee.

Right now, unfolding around us on a global scale, is a rich and unambiguous lesson on the dangers of fossil fuel dependence. The most obvious solution is for the affected countries to reduce their dependence through clean energy. Are you seeing that message in media?

I was working as reporter for an industry mag in 2006 and covered a Congressional subcommittee hearing about how oil dependence was a national security threat. Good to see we heeded that advice.

Rich liberals stop treating fascists as a intellectually compelling cocktail guests challenge

The Heritage Foundation want to take the US, and the entire plant, back 200 years. They are on course to make this happen very soon unless we all up put game massively to stop them Women will have NO RIGHTS anymore 👇🤬: www.throughline.news/p/the-plot-a...

Just saying..... Heritage is probably the most powerful of the 550+ #AtlasNetwork thinktanks in 100 countries but they are all on the same mission. You have been warned...

Guy who made 800 million dollars selling a website named ToodleCo to Yahoo in 1996 and has done nothing since then but now has $100 billion: the concept of “human kindness” was invented by bolshevik psychologists in 1953, no one heard of that term until then Podcast Host: fascinating, I have worms

My 1st guest post is now live, with words from @laileanah.bsky.social!✨ "On Sunday, March 1, 2026, I had a deeply frightening experience of anti-Black racism in the Emergency (ER) department at Corewell Health Livonia. To convey the gravity of this matter, it may help to rewind to a few weeks ago."

Attention Science Communicators! We are conducting a survey on the landscape of science communication & need your help gathering experiences. Please send this to #SciComm ppl you know. We want to get as thorough a sense of the state of the field as we can. umiami.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Our goal is to hear from as many perspectives among working professional science communicators as possible. Help us spread the word, and please let us know if you have any questions!

Introspection was an invention of the 1910s/20s? Descartes would like a word. Augustine of Hippo, too. And pretty much every thoughtful person in human history, famous or not. Billion$ rot these people's humanity.

This Dalek gave up the rat race and bought that little plot and cottage, and I'm here for it.

THREAD. A collection of excellent scarecrows I have met on walks in the countryside. You will find the all-important caption to each photo in the alt text.

Be sure to read the whole alt-text.

Why do we treat the economy like it’s a force of nature that just happens to us? It’s a system we designed. If it’s not working for the majority of people, we shouldn’t be asking how to fix the people—we should be redesigning the system. Any proper redesign needs to include universal basic income.

Some personal news: This is my last week at The Washington Post. I’ve loved so much of the last 9 years here, but my faith in the paper’s current leadership is broken beyond repair. Incredibly excited to get to work w/ the newsroom below (I start in June) Get in touch on Signal : 9178872891

Yet another big loss for the Washington Post, which is slowly committing suicide

Some days just need another bracelet. I don't make the rules.

Oops. Donald just accidentally revealed that GOP Rep. Neal Dunn will be dead by June. Mike Johnson jumped in to say that wasn't public information.

I think what we all learned today is that if you are secretly planning to be dead soon, do not tell the president

over at the newsletter I wrote about how Jack Dorsey is a pointless dipshit:

An easy way to identify a dipshit in 2026 is to see if they equate fascism as just "one side" of a legitimate and normal political debate.

Incurious, foolish, arrogant, high on their own supply, insufferably boring, convinced of their own intelligence and righteousness, yet without even the vaguest concept of ethics or responsibility to guide them, a plague upon humanity that ought to be excised

The extent to which every single one of these guys has absolutely no idea what the fuck they're talking about is frankly stunning. You should be embarrassed to go out in public and spout shit like this. It should scar your soul and make you weep in shame, but that requires introspection, so...shit.

The average length of fascist rule is probably about 30 years for exactly this reason. Things will get too broken to go on with it, everyone is tired. But as we know they leave their own societies and sometimes large swathes of the world in tatters for generations afterwards—sometimes permanently.
