I love posts like this because they leave SO much to the imagination

when justifying wealth accumulation: cultural inheritance is fake and every man is an island when rationalizing racism: cultural inheritance is VERY real and we cannot let them in

one of the better through-lines in what feels like Season 437 of "Trump is President" is the writers' choice to build a background level of widespread, almost impossible to ignore discontent ... so much anticipation, now, like the start of the 3rd act in any adaptation of Robin Hood

Trumpism and Trumpists are incompatible with American culture and traditions and should be purged.

Tule fog fills California’s Central Valley.

With just a friend, a phone, and a few Lego bricks, you can accurately measure the size of our planet. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

What's hilarious here (to me) is him admitting that cultural inheritance is real. (The right-wing-adjacent evolutionary biologists have long claimed that it's all genetic! Helps justify the wealth accumulation.) But, boy, if he can do this(!), there's an exciting intellectual journey ahead of him!

it's weird when they admit it, but here's an actual anti-christ ->

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy? Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy Nephew: How??? Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine Nephew: … Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

No matter the rationale, if this is the outcome, then a link in the logic chain is broken. We have been taught so since childhood. How do some "adults" still not get it?

is Wolfgang Van Halen real as cool and chill and f'ing smart as he seems?

Happy holiday or not or whatever

Seeing lots of Steyer ads and I’m so tired of billionaires running as public servants. It’s not an internally consistent proposition.

Inspired by a smart ass pie remark by the Princeton History professor, I made this …

remember accounts on Twitter that proudly claimed they were "retweeted by Donald Trump"?

Transformers Dark of the Moon is epic trash but John Malkovich's deeply John Malkovich performance is worth the ticket "It is a visual, and, therefore, a visceral betrayal" lmao

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

I have a lot of UI complaints about the latest iOS release, but this one burns me several times every day.

thinking of her today

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell. Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

Major personal milestone, the only thing I was missing this morning, requiring a rush to the store, was aluminum foil. A NON-FOOD ITEM!! Amazing.

watched the latest episode of Pluribus ... which is a good reminder to download a good, one-time-payment, zero-ads barcode reader app on your phone ... you NEVER know when you might use it, honestly

apart from blocking George Conway, how do we stop him sharing Twitter screenshots on Bluesky? he still has a lifetime of Republican karma to burn off, Trump still won in 2024, and his constituency is confined to the DC cocktail party circuit what do people think he offers?

If the book is mega out of print and you can’t get a used copy it’s fine to get a scanned pdf but otherwise just buy it lol. Libraries and book stores are two of the only enriching spaces we have left in this country.

my humble suggestion: Трампубликанцы

I'm sure bondi will use her connections to sort this out ... that's the obvious next step, right?

TIL that exoplanet discovery has been highly biased for systems with small-orbit "jupiters" because close, massive planets (1) induce more stellar wobble and are (2) easier to detect in transit, but ALSO (3) we just haven't sampled long enough to confirm large orbital periods

lololololol

Elites are capitulating on the core values of the institutions they steward This isn’t nibbling at the edges A whole class of people who attained power and privilege devoid of duty and responsibility

get ready for 10 years of headlines, all variations on "Republican blind spot"

the awfulness of our media coverage is a smokescreen for what is the most (unimaginably) inept foreign policy team the United States has ever seen

We’ve now produced a toolkit to guide science communicators through (critically) using certain strategies. It has been beautifully illustrated by @jordancollver.bsky.social (in collab with @rikworth.bsky.social) and can be downloaded as a PDF here: livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/3194747/

Every single tech leader should be grilled on how bad they want that money for themselves.

Man I clicked through to the DHS website and this is not a joke

over the last 10 years, anyone else had the experience of running a 90% or (much) better success rate picking obvious right-wing frauds, only to watch our elites run a cool 20%, max?

people make custard pies because they don't require knowing how to make a pastry crust ... you can even buy one completely reasonable but they also don't know how to make a custard, and that's why everyone thinks they hate them like the pecan pie recipes that call for a CAN of corn syrup? yeah

And with that, we’re at just about the end of US soft power in Europe good job everyone

ICE arrests, detains British woman with US husband and newborn when she shows up for her green card interview. She’s now in a detention center, separated from her 6-month-old. No criminal record. She had overstayed her visa. www.lbc.co.uk/article/brit...

I'm not sure which movie you're talking about. The series ends with the eighth movie, on an unresolved note.

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.
