Worth noting that Dr Oz has always been a shameless grifter, but it turns out he's a piece of shit eugenicist as well. Good job, scumbag. #DrOz #Eugenics

WATCH: @andersoncooper shows video of a Trump throwing a tantrum and being a misogynistic pig towards @kaitlancollins — and other female reporters (As the rest of the press stands there and says nothing)

John Roberts is a modern day Woodrow Wilson. Smart and looks normal and talks nice, but is racist as fuck.

Dear big businesses, stop wasting money on this shit (AI is trying to kill us, but also, it is dumb as fuck) and spend that money on the HUMANS who work for you. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/21/s...

Good job MAGA!

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dccartoonist.bsky.social )

Anybody who is both anti-vax and pro-data center is, by definition, pro-death. MAGA is a death cult. Do enjoy this photo from one of the many beautiful markets in Athens.

Just a reminder that you can't cook pasta in data. Enjoy this picture of Fernanda in Naples.

On this day in 1889 a biblical flood decimated Johnstown, PA. More than 2,200 people died, maybe as many as 3,000. Because Carnegie & Frick & their rich bros altered a man-made lake to suit them. Just a reminder than you can never, never trust the super-wealthy. As true today as it was then.

these are truly awful people. i wish them the worst. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/u...

Every time one of these tech chuds or MAGA chuds says that AI is inevitable and we should accept it or be left behind, I think of Bobby Knight talking to Connie Chung: “I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it.” Pretty much says it all.

Retired Lt. General Mark Hertling: “I’m sorry for getting emotional, but that comment from Hegseth that diversity is not our strength is bullshit.” Hertling shows pictures of fallen soldiers to refute Hegseth’s nonsense. Powerful. (From @bulwarkonline )

Bye bitch.

Trump used the threat of a lawsuit against his own government to pressure nearly $2 billion out of the U.S. Treasury. No jury decided this. No judge approved it. Congress never voted on it. But your taxpayer dollars funded it.

Good morning. Never Stop Fighting Data Center. There's a good story here. You lose every fight you don't get in, but sometimes you win a few. Fight these mutherfuckers tooth and nail, every step of the way. people.com/mom-takes-ac...

This is what's up.

Separate from the fact that these are two lying nutsacks, they are so cringe I can hardly look at them.

The worst people kiss up and punch down. Be the opposite. Always be punching up and kissing down. Enjoy this photo of a man in Laos who insisted on wearing my Pirates cap so I could take a picture of him and his rooster. (I think he still has my hat.)

We’re about to pay Iran billions of dollars to open the Strait that was open before the war, and to hand over the highly enriched uranium they didn’t have before Trump pulled out of the JCPOA. Art of the deal, baby.

Good morning. Just remember, generative AI is straight up theivery. Enjoy the photo of wild lavender in Crete.

Tariffs costing each of us $5,000+ this year. Health insurance, gas & grocery prices up. Inflation at 3.8%, largely due to Trump’s war on Iran U.S. jobs down 83,000 in April! Malignant narcissist TRUMP JUST DOESN'T CARE about workers. He NEVER did.

I'm finally getting around to reading Patrick McGinty's interview with Michael Chabon in the Pgh Review of Books and now I'm going to have to go read all of Thomas McGuane's work, aren't I? (I can see this summer stretching out in front of me that way.) pghrev.com/talking-abou...

Good morning. Just to say that Mike Johnson's soul smells like fast-food farts and industrial waste. Enjoy this photo taken on a rainy spring morning on the northside.

The times that a trans student has come out to me as a part of their self-discovery are sacred to me at a time when little else is. This is an abominable and unenforceable fascist tactic.

This you?

1. Number of stories about Trump buying and selling hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks in the first three months of 2026: CBS: 0 CNN: 0 Fox News: 0 NPR: 0 PBS: 0 Politico: 0 Semafor: 0 Business Insider: 0

Just a note to say, if you don't care about "women's issues," then you only care about "men's issues" and you should at least have the decency to say so. Do enjoy this photo of this very silly cat.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Dear Barnes & Noble, please do get fucked. Also, this is why we need independent bookstores!

Good morning. Today is a good day to remember that January 6th was treason and the people on the ground there were traitors. Enjoy this photo of whales near Provincetown.

I’m sure it’s fine. Frank Bisignano— who reportedly oversaw a program at JP Morgan in the 2010s to spy on JP Morgan employees using software from Peter Thiel’s Palantir—is both the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration & the CEO of the Internal Revenue Service under Trump 2.0. 1/

The Senate confirmed Steve Pearce as director of the Bureau of Land Management. Pearce spent years in Congress arguing the federal government owns more land than it needs. He co-sponsored legislation to speed up public land sales.

Nobody wants AI

Good morning. Today is a good day to kill the AI before it kills us. Enjoy the photo of this vintage Dairy Queen in Buckhannon, WVA.

1/ I never trust anything that feels like a frenzy, when things feel manic and rushed. This push for data centers feels like the housing market stupidities that crashed the whole fucking economy in 2008, but on Heisenberg meth. Made worse because of the ...

Counterpoint. What if we stopped building data centers? What terrible thing would happen?

There are ways to get around SCOTUS anti-democracy rulings. Hawaii, for example just found a work-around against Citizens United, and now people are finding a way to mitigate attacks on the Voting rights Act.
