a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

When someone tells me how old their child is I say "that's such a fun age" even if it's 37

More opera in the Olympics please

Four months in, we're down to $139 from a strike price of $313. So, yeah, still feeling good about passing on this one.

more things should be named in this manner en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_C...

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

i made a version of wikipedia you can doomscroll xikipedia.org

Now, a stickler would say that Aaron, being but one (1) person, is an alumnus not alumni. But it’s not like this is a poster for a university’s communications program.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

People can say they didn’t vote for this but people are liars

“Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE” is a sentence that shouldn’t exist.

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

This is like my whole thing. I think we should value truth.

schumer: we don't need to abolish ice, we need to abolish PRICE...s.....that are........bad....and high

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Who will stop the Piano Man's reign of terror?!

Hell yes. Put this quote in the rafters.

I've been thinking about this sign for 6 months. a phrase I'll treasure forever. a metaphor with boundless potential

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

if they had just shown it on 60 Minutes nobody would have seen it

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

It took weeks, but yay for Fox News, I guess, for finally asking "Can you translate these nonsense percentages into dollars?" Seems like a pretty important followup question.

331 days down, just 1130 to go! So weird to be in this place where we all know it's over, but they've still got *years* to destroy things and hurt people.

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety. We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

7 straight days in Sacramento with the solar panels reporting less than 5 kWh output, and I'm wondering if we'll ever see the sun again.

Number one rule of the #CFBPlayoff is that if you don’t win your conference you can’t complain. But if you *could* complain: Texas has a better resume than Alabama. BYU has a better resume than Miami.

has anyone else noticed that food tasted better in the past? it was mushy and easy to eat. and the spoon would come at you like an airplane

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.

Important doings, everyone: youtu.be/gJxzhUAGBDw?...

Stuff like this is built on the once-common assumption that a random guy could know that an action would break the law, without waiting 18 months to find out what the Supreme Court would say.

One thing about a President Kamala Harris is she wouldn't have spent her Thanksgiving holiday insulting and threatening people I love. She did sometimes laugh though, so 🤷.

the only time i ever gave back to my community (cinephile dorks whose parents claim they can't see it but we suspect are messing with us a little)

I decided to pass on an ORCL stock option bonus back when the price was $313, and am feeling pretty good about that choice now (current price $196).

Competent, scrupulous people laying out the truth is how we're going to win. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

Universities and corporations everywhere are abandoning their core principles because they’re worried about ending up in a courtroom with these clowns, for some reason?

just realized my cats probably think I spend 10 hours a day in the garage

Finally updated to macOS Tahoe, Launchpad is gone RIP, now I'm rearranging my Applications folder like it's 2002.

Wife, picking apart some fresh herbs in the kitchen: “I had to get some more because we were out of thyme.” Me, making my own useful contribution to the family: “Did somebody say ‘OUTATIME’!?!” 🕶️ followed by about 10 minutes of thyme puns.

My biggest regret in life is not realizing sooner that you can put honey on pretty much all the foods and it makes them better.

I asked Siri if there was a US Senate election in Indiana in 2026, and she lied to me. Twice. Two lies in three sentences.

I’d like my passport and driver’s license changed to say I’m 22 inches long and 7.5 lbs, please.
