These fucking things are a menace.

In his fiery eyes of scorn and triumph, you then saw Ahab in all his fatal pride.

Wow, just when you think you e seen every bumper sticker under the sun, the world surprises you.

Looks like I'm working the day of the LCD Soundsystem concert. Major bummer. That may the excuse I need to go to all three Angine de Poitrine shows, not that I need one.

Handy woman. Portrait of a female Homo habilis - a human ancestor from around 2.4 million years ago. Homo habilis means “handy man” (they were prolific makers of stone tools). This elderly female clutches a stone tool to her chest: a treasured possession, or a reminder of a lost loved one? #SciArt

Evening, Howe Sound W.P. Weston 1928

Seriously speaking, I love these wonderful, much maligned and misunderstood creatures and they enhance my life every day. (Currently writing piece about this - grab a subscription to my site if you’d like it in your inbox next week.)

Taurus: Why are you even reading this? You’re just going to do what you want anyway.

A reminder that whether they're on the right or the left, men who support Nazi-tattoo-sporting mercenary rapists are dumb as shit. If they were any smarter but not sociopathic, they'd change or off themselves for the good of humanity. NOT THAT HE SHOULD, BSKY, I'M JUST SAYING THAT'S WHAT I WOULD DO

When the weather gets hot, please take special care for the goths in your life. With their floor-length coats, platform shoes, and velvet capes, it’s hard for them to thermoregulate as we do.

Accidental injuries are no joke. Tennessee Williams choked to death on a bottle cap. You just never know.

A reminder that "sovereign russia" here means nothing short of a russia w the unfettered ability to dominate, interfere, and invade its neighbours without anyone coming to the aid of the invaded. It has absolutely nothing to do w domestic russian sovereignty within its borders. What they mean by...

he's genuinely not an intelligent person it was an elaborate mythology propped up by a shitty press

"Jakub, that's extreme, even for you" oh c'mon folks, you tried with OSCE, you tried with G8, you tried with Wandel durch Handel, and all you got is manure in your face.

To the evergreen Moscow question of how one can even try to imagine a security order in Europe without Russia, I offer an eternal Polish answer: by razing it to the ground. It's an out-of-the-box solution that avoids the pitfalls of previous attempts to solve the problem.

🇷🇺 @economist.com gives voice to the poor people who suffer, such as a sanctioned Russian oligarch who parrots the usual Kremlin talking points: Russia is inevitable, a wealthy Russia is a wealthy West, a stable (imperial) Russia is better for everyone, etc. etc.

I don’t understand how people can run for office knowing they have insane baggage and/or crimes. Like I spent the entire campaign expecting AIPAC to somehow dig up my middle school livejournal fanfic account. I prepared my family for it. I’m still amazed it didn’t happen.

I am enjoying a serene timeline free of rape apologists because I have long since rid my life of anyone who says "due process" or "what suspiciously convenient timing" or "why didn't she go to the police?"

Playing badminton with Mitch McConnell. We talked about the midterms and Iran. I took the first game 15-0 because he is unresponsive and lying on the ground.

InfoWarriors, do you buy our caller's Bozo theory?

There's no excuse for this. These people should be billed for the rescue.

AI isn't 'inevitable'. Banning and resisting it isn't 'going against the tide'. We can reject this narrative and determine our own future. But it will be a fight, and it will take greater tech literacy. Which tools are bad and which are not? Who are the bad actors? Which politicians are fighting?

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...

With any luck Belgium will win by 5.

I'm surprised that so many people don't know this.

Today 4 Jul is US Independence Day, which was declared after the revolution of 1776. But despite rhetoric about men being "equal" and "inalienable rights", slavery continued for nearly a century and the genocide of Native Americans accelerated stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1096...

News from Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, NC, @joejerome.com has informed us that the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of Defense Nimziki are recommending a full nuclear counterattack on the alien force.

He tried to read an elementary economics text; it bored him past endurance, it was like listening to somebody interminably recounting a long and stupid dream.

Washington mayor Marion Berry is on a diplomatic mission to Bogotá this evening and shares his shock and condolences at the destruction left behind from the stunning attack on his city. Mayor Berry will return to DC when logistics allow.
