The only good thing to come out of the dipshit Odyssey discourse is that at one point I commented “if we’re worried about accuracy, then Jason Mantzoukas should be playing Odysseus,” and now I can’t get it out of my head 😄

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

A real tweet from February 2016. The playbook hasn’t changed a bit.

The historic ‘Gold Medal Flour’ sign, Minneapolis, Minnesota.The current temperature is 87°F with a heat index of 90°F and an air quality index of 287, in the “very unhealthy” range. Carbon dioxide emissions from human combustion of hydrocarbons is a primary driver of climate change.

Perfect.

What the actual fuck? Look, I'm sorry to keep saying this, but the president is clearly a dementia-ravaged necrotic husk of a man whose addled rants bear no actual resemblance to reality and I, for one, think that is concerning.

Love this!

If ICE and DHS end vehicle stops, good. But Alex Pretti wasn't in a vehicle when they shot him. Neither was Julio Cesar Sosa Celis. Nor Keith Porter Jr. The issue is this armed paramilitary that's been shooting and kidnapping people, not the fact that so many of their victims are driving.

Everything Trump does can be best understood as him having nothing to him other than ego, retribution, and grift. Those are his only character traits.

i appreciate the @pressherald.com granting free access to their crucial live updates on the ICE shooting of a person in biddeford, maine this morning:

Video from the Press Herald shows that shooting the driver did not actually stop the vehicle, and officers had to conduct a dangerous intervention to stop it and pull the injured driver out. youtube.com/shorts/iicxh...

Look at how people react to Sam Neill's passing. Look at how people react to Lindsay Graham's passing. It's a pretty easy object lesson. Live your life in a way that leads people to talk about you the way they're talking about Sam Neill right now. So much love. So much shared joy.

Senator Lindsey Graham has died. His death was preceded by the death of his longtime friend and colleague John McCain in 2018, and by Graham's supposed principles shortly after. Known for saying "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed, and we will deserve it," then enthusiastically backing him.

Ro Khanna: “I saw the arrogance in the eyes of the Settlers. 21 & 22 year olds with guns, laughing that they’d detained us. The arrogance of those IDF soldiers... It is the arrogance of power. Of a power that has had no accountability. Total impunity. And it’s created a toxic culture of oppression.”

This is total insanity. Words fail to explain how anyone let alone a plurality of voters thought giving an obviously demented person control of the most powerful government in the world was a good idea. We will be lucky to come out the other side of this alive.

Trump SURE doesn’t like people reporting about the Qatari jet that he took illegally, got a BS opinion from a corrupt AG that it was fine, recklessly rushed it into service because the other one wasn’t luxurious enough, then plans to keep it after taxpayers spent a fortune on it.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

I remember beginning to hear about this guy a few years ago. Disgusting POS.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

I put together a Gofundme for our son's medical bills. Please help out if you can financially or by spreading the word. Every bit is greatly appreciated! ^_^ www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Jim Hines and Mike Resnick alone make this worthwhile. The rest of the bundle makes it a steal.

can't stop laughing at this Poilievre: "We will reinstill a warrior culture, not a woke culture."

Happy to see that we've raised nearly $10K for World Central Kitchen ( @wck.org ) in just under two days, but we can do more, I think (remember you can adjust your donation sliders so they get more of the take). Also, you know: Lots of my books! Go get 'em.

Hi hello I was going to do a full thread on the Great American State Fair later but it seems I'm starting early: why in the fuck are PragerU, Patriot Academy, and other far right groups the ENTIRETY of the Department of Education booth

100 years ago.

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual. cdm16274.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/coll...

it's crazy when you see a photo for the first time and recognize it's gonna be used as a shorthand for the era you're living in right now by historians in 100 years

Nice to have a total win to celebrate this weekend.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

The most corrupt president in history and it's not close: "Trump reaped a stunning windfall in his first year back in the White House, including about $1.4 billion from his family’s cryptocurrency businesses, a new filing shows"

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

Thread is amusing as an example of if "moving goalposts" was a person.

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

Kim: "I'm from New Jersey. We're used to Trump screwing us over. He screwed over Atlantic City. If he really wants to see what people need right now, next time he comes to NJ he shouldn't go to his golf course in Bedminster. He should go to Newark & talk to people there who need affordable housing."

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

It takes 1.28 seconds for a message to reach us from the Moon. It takes as little as 35 minutes from Jupiter. It takes as little as 4.5 hours from Pluto. It takes at least 6-12 months from NYT reporters, plus $35 for the book containing it.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

Algae are prolific producers of oxygen (and consumers of carbon dioxide), en masse producing a huge proportion of the oxygen we breathe, which means that the greening of the Reflecting Pool might be the most pro-climate thing Trump has ever done.

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and— I said look. Look with your eyes! Oh now you’ve gone and touched it. The paint is peeling. My beautiful paint! I’ll have to call my pool guy back. Vandal! Antifa! I said look And despair Nothing but the algae remains.

No declaration of war. No due process. No congressional authorization. The UN’s top expert on counter-terrorism & human rights says the U.S. is committing extrajudicial killings at sea. 211 dead and counting. Where is Congress?

So this is where we start our campaign for it to be @jessejerdak.bsky.social right RIGHT YOU GUYS

25 years ago: "i'm sorry Mrs. Smith but your 14 year-old son Charlie downloaded a Metallica album off Napster and now he's being sued for $1 million & might go to jail" Today: "we fed every song in existence into our model what the fuck do you mean we have to pay for it? that's ridiculous!!!"

The worst scandal in American history before Watergate, which happened over 100 years ago & is still taught in AP government classes, lead to a cabinet member's resignation & conviction, and caused Congress to pass new disclosure laws, involved less than 1/5 this much money. Inflation adjusted.

If Waffle House doesn’t make this their new slogan, then capitalism has failed
