“I can’t get out of #Vegas fast enough. This city is like a trillion-dollar light-up ashtray.” — Carol, #Pluribus / #Plur1bus

If I were one of the wealthiest people in human history, living in a country with ever growing wealth inequality, I might think twice about advocating ritual execution

Found when sorting an old drive. I still, very occasionally, say 'not many badgers in the House of Lords' and this is why:

😬

Also, the idea of "the fog of war" is that you're in the middle of a battle and you can't tell what's going on in the confusion all around you. Pete was watching a single event on a camera and if he felt confused it's only because he was drunk.

Not that things were good before but the last few days really does feel like the country is turning down just a remarkably dark path with this shit

For pretty much any critique you can level at any source of energy -- inefficient, too much pollution, takes too much land, has too many externalities, is propped up by subsidies, whatever -- it's worse for corn ethanol. It's worse in all dimensions. It has zero redeeming features.

I can’t even stand this anymore.

If you want to stop being a trusted news organization, this is the way.

Oh shit waddup

I had to look this up. It's called the Jólabókaflóðið, or the Yule book flood. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland...

“In US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered ‘biased’ to call out a lie.” Yes, absolutely true. Great point.

I didn’t know that he wrote the movie Brazil until a couple weeks ago! What a brilliant guy. Thanks for your gifts to the world, Tom.

Even now, thinking about himself

This is what I want to say to ICE gang members if I ever see them. Your children will be ashamed of you as long as you live.

Happy Thanksgiving

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

There are so many of these stories. I can barely stand to see another one, but we can't stop telling them either. Let people see the human atrocity happening in our midst.

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

This reminds me of about eight years ago when everyone was saying, “We’re putting _____ on the blockchain,” and you were supposed to give them megamillions of dollars to do that.

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

My right side is absolutely killing me You need an appendectomy How much is that Umm … $47,285 How much without the anesthesia Ok we can do that for $36,210 I don’t think so What’s it going to take to get you into this OR today I’m going to shop around Hold on, my manager is coming over

They’re all just looting the treasury now

Don’t laugh. On white people’s ranches, they play them Mozart and feed them apples and massage the old ones’ arthritis and everyone is vegan.

We are headed toward martial law and the end of our democracy and I will never forgive the people in power who every step of the way told us it was all just fine and everything would work out swell as long as we kept pretending that nothing we have actually seen with our own two eyes was happening

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

Tonight was a very bad night.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

This is one of the worst things I have EVER read.

While we “invest” $100 billion in the completely unproductive pursuit of removing people and terrorizing their American children.

Really stunning reporting by NBC in their original article on this. People should read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

FIFA awarding a "peace prize" to Trump would be so absolutely on-brand, a truly genius innovation.

These journalists have done an amazing job, and are now the victims of a big conglomerate that decided to eliminate their operation. They deserve your help. The state of journalism is trash now, but I hope they go on to bigger and better things.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

"I don't know how to read" -- the Mike Johnson story

Using troops to interfere with the polls is part of the game plan for 2026 and 2028 and beyond. Eyes open.

"There are only so many selfies, photos of my dog, and funny-shaped carpet stains I can share before I come off as a shallow, boring influencer. So, I decided to post an image in my dump of a book a roommate left behind—The Picture of Dorian Gray."

Happy Halloween

“We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet’s vital signs are flashing red.” The opening of the annual State of the Climate Report is blunt in its assessment and sets the tone for the rest of the report. It went on to note that “22 of 34 planetary vital signs are at record levels”.

Stunning reporting. Must read.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." (This PBS story on the scientific brain drain is heartbreaking & ominous for medicine, imo.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO...

Honestly surprised they didn't burn down the East Wing and blame it on "Marxists". Totally dropped the ball there.

Jailed for months for posting a meme with Trump's face on it.
