Nobody here needs me to tell them not to do this but Jesus Christ in a Cadillac do not do this.

Turns out a Navy willing to execute civilians in boats in the Caribbean to produce snuff films for the president is a Navy willing to let the FBI director treat a tomb as a fun frolic

Are women bourgeois?

you can hear the kazoo desperately fall out of my mouth just so i could get this joke in [Repost from 2019]

a $200 fine is substantially worse than no fine at all, it just highlights how absurdly pointless any of the “consequences” for elites are for breaking the rules

it will take less than five minutes before the ai sponsor tells someone it's okay to have a drink as a celebration of their sobriety

On the left is an Onion headline from March. On the right is Reuters, today.

probably every journalist and person who uses social media should read this, even if a lot of it was obvious. names get named

pushing out diverse people to accommodate diverse views about those people's inferiority, be fucking serious

Thinking about this extra hard because aquariums have to oay for their water, and I cant imagine the cost considering most of their exhibits involve water, but data center dont pay shit and pass the cost to consumers Just a wild organization of priorities

I used to date a guy who worked at the Shedd (Chicago aquarium, literally a world class aquarium, often rated in the top 5 in america, especially impressive when you realize chicago isn't on a coast or gulf) He said the museum relied on funders so hard because they had to pay for their water.

Since I'm sharing fake Gundam screenshots, I may as well bring back this old chestnut

rude. in my day we called that Italo-disco.

I ORDER MY COFFEE BLACK. NO SUGAR. NO MILK. NO WATER. NO CUP. THEY HAND ME THE BEANS. I EAT THEM IN THE PARKING LOT LIKE A HORSE. THE BARISTAS HAVE STOPPED CHARGING ME. I HAVE NOT SLEPT SINCE TUESDAY. I CAN HEAR THE WIFI

Any and all toy stores. The loss of KayBee sucked but I could deal. The loss of Toys R’ Us genuinely made me angry.

I just think they're neat

Striped cuckoo (Tapera naevia) chicks utilize specialized, cryptic plumage that mimics the texture and color of pinecones for camouflage. #birds

Two thoughts: 1) we know what happened when we didn’t appropriately punish the confederates. 2) this is why so many folks don’t trust democratic leadership.

The Mayo fucking clinic. Some days I really do hate everyrhing about our current technosocial paradigm

this Elon Musk plot to steal your 401(k) money is really going underdiscussed

I feel like I’ve read some version of this every day for the last four years

Roots is a bicentennial jawn so in 50 years we went from groundbreaking miniseries watched by the whole country to banning copies of the book

best part of gundam conference. nothing crazy for announcements. looks like we're gettin gundam seed freedom zero as a theatrical film, some kind of longer Wing project (i.e. longer than a 2-min anniversary clip, at least), and a remaster of the original series. the wait for g-saviour continues

I'm willing to test this theory

Taste is subjective But I think whomever approved this needs to be pulled aside and told they’re just really stupid on a base fundamental level if they think the right images are an improvement.

I’s post the William Adama quote about the military and the police but ICE ISN’T MILITARY.

usually what people mean is "dems are better than they used to be on gay rights" and i gotta say, being for gay rights while actively getting worse on surveillance, policing, the border/immigration? i'm not a fan of the log cabin republicans, you know.

when people say "the dems ARE getting better, though", you gotta ask "on which issues? be specific." cuz surveillance and privacy issues have not been one of them! they just keepg etting worse!

Well, that took less than 24 hours, lads. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

Chad Johnson is CEO of 'Grain Weevil'. His son did robotics competitions in high school, which inspired this little fella that breaks up hardened surfaces & levels grain to ensure it behaves like a liquid, avoids clumping. This probably saves 10-30 human lives a year. NO BOOTS IN THE GRAIN.

A friend just sent me this perfect piece by Karel Čapek, trans. Dora Round, ‘From the Point of View of a Cat’.

I hate that CR has near monopoly control over the North American anime industry and there's so much they either don't release on physical media or just let go OOP. It sucks that if you like anime on physical media you have to basically buy it instantly because you never know when it'll go OOP.

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case
