I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Radiology appointments are running 3-5 months out at my local VA, and the poor folks that still work there get shit for it :(

this reply may have legitimately changed my life. installed a couple of these babies on the toilet seat this week and they are rock fucking solid. I feel like I could take a running start and the thing still wouldn’t budge. top tier toilet engineering

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Better yet, buy it second-hand or rent it from your library.

Every SINGLE study about just giving people money to help them live shows that it has fantastic benefits that far outstrip the actual cost. And yet we keep studying the issue because no one in power can take the study and make it POLICY.

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!

GOOD NEWS: Despite RFK Jr saying he would cancel $500 million in mRNA research, the House Committee on Appropriations has passed a spending package, that includes $1.1 billion for “advanced research and development” at BARDA, which includes research on mRNA vaccines.

It’s ok to put the phone down.

Again, you show up here in your military uniform, and your service--the entirety of it--is tanrished and worthless, and you are dishonorable--expect to receive a commensurate welcome. You always have an obligation to not do the wrong thing, no matter who orders you to do it.

Let’s get this done. We all agree!

I really resent my tax dollars being spent on this

The thing about living in a human society is you either decide that everyone (except those for whom it would be medically dangerous) has to take VACCINES into their bodies or everyone (with no exceptions at all) has to take VIRULENT PATHOGENS in from those around them and, look, the first is better.

Trump diagnosed with EPSTEINDISTRACTIONITIS

Blows my mind you can just TAKE pictures like this with a $550 camera. How good is that‽ For most of human history folks would have given up A LOT to get this good a photo of the stars 🌟

what I say whenever there are worries

Trump take LEGO www.404media.co/lego-stops-s...

Do you believe that climate facts should remain free from political interference and easily accessible? If so, watch our video and consider supporting our initiative. Find out how you can support: donorbox.org/climate-us-p...

I am not comfortable with this film being 25 years old

We're trying to bully Japan into taking our LNG, but ... "Fossil fuels generated a record low share of Japan's utility-scale electricity supplies over the first half of 2025, marking an important milestone in the energy transition momentum of one of the world's largest fossil fuel consumers."

The Alabama (!) people chanting "who pays the tariffs? who pays the tariffs" and then turning to "shame! shame!" when their rep turns tail and leaves is a keeper.

How does lava sound when it comes to the surface of the Earth? Listen to a lava flow oozing out of its effusive vent high on the southwestern side of #Etna, 28 August 2025. That day no visits by tourists were allowed on the site, which permitted this (relatively) clean recording

Nothing says respect for our troops like deploying the National Guard only to have them pick up trash and spread mulch all day.

OK, timeline cleanse. Please post a photo from your summer that confers peace.

being a dad is pretty great

I’m not a senator man

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable

is…is the senate minority leader who spent the weekend before the hhs secretary confirmation vote—after choosing not to deny unanimous consent—in a grocery store howling at the elderly about oncoming tomato price hikes telling one of *us* to fire rfk‽

They didn't attempt a violent coup because of the left. They aren't destroying US science & academia because of the left. They're not embracing open racism & nazi ideology because of the left. They are adults, making choices, doing things of their own volition, and they bear the responsibility.

To put all this much shorter: the right's vaccine denialism is not the left's fault. They didn't arrive at that skepticism because of something the left did. They SAY that, of course, because they blame the left for everything, but liberals don't have to take them at their word! They lie a lot!

Trump take affordable energy

An accurate understanding of the Republican Party is a liability in US politics & media. Has been for decades.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Reasons trans people need human rights: 1. They're human I feel like that should be sufficient.

Bears repeating that taking photos and videos of things that happen in plain view in public spaces is a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. www.acludc.org/know-your-ri...

Everyone’s mad they took the old white guy off the sign and they have to just call the place Barrel now

Also, for those who made it this far: my coworkers sometimes ask for get-well messages from Gus when they are not feeling well (sound on)

I don’t suffer fools 😠 or at least, I wouldn’t if I ever met one!! Everyone’s been great so far 😀

An oldie about trying to text your friends about birds. I can't remember if I ever shared this here.
