Damn. That “tick tick tick” line is good.

Given how messed up the "establishment" was before Trump, I am always shocked to see that there were pockets that had high ranking people that were actually well liked. .

Dude if you told me I had to vote between two different Democrats in a general election and one of them was actually pretty ok even? I would bust I would PoCUMon CUM to the POOLs (of cum)

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

In my experience, no one who has devoted their career to investigative journalism ever then adds the phrase “and storytelling”

BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.

This is fine.

"They’re going to have to fire him. No amount of HR speak will have him retract what he said," one CBS staffer just told me, adding: "For an anti-woke crusader, this is pretty woke of [Bari] to accuse Pelley of after firing the entire leadership of his show and two correspondent colleagues."

George Santos: 1. Posted a video the day before Trump's State of the Union saying he was going to be there 2. Bet on Kalshi that he would not attend the SOTU 3. Did not attend the SOTU www.npr.org/2026/06/02/n...

No President 'More Brazenly Corrupt' Than Trump, Says Ilhan Omar Responding to Trump's slur that Somali Americans are "all crooks," Omar said the president "uses fraud as a political cudgel while protecting his donor base and enriching himself."

“Like many writers working today, I used AI tools during parts of the research and editorial development process for the book, including source discovery, brainstorming, structural feedback, and language refinement.” So you had AI write for you. Got it.

According to estimates, nearly half of graduate programs in fields like art, music, theater, and dance would fail the test. If a program loses federal loan eligibility, many students may no longer be able to afford to attend, forcing them to transfer, switch majors, or leave school.

The Department of Education is finalizing a rule that would judge college programs based on how much money graduates make after leaving school. Programs whose graduates don’t earn enough compared to their student debt would lose access to federal student loans.

did you know that opposing a massive and terrible merger that will inevitably result in higher prices, mass layoffs, and shittier product is antisemitic?

California, it's a perfectly beautiful day to take a walk to your ballot drop box!

::sotto voce:: I also think endlessly fact checking dinosaur movies makes us science folk come off condescending and like we think the public is so dull they’ll think the movie is real. Deficit model thinking that often makes us seem like jerks squashing fun. We can take other approaches.

The US is now spending more on data center construction than on public transportation infrastructure

Eek! Democracy! #iVoted

I saw a reel on Insta on how MAGA is really upset that an Indian-American won the Spelling Bee (apprently the first time they have ever paid attention to this competition 😂), with racist comments, etc. ?? The grievance is so tiresome. MAGA: learn how to spell and maybe you, too, could win the Bee 🐝

this is a core fascist narrative

One of Atlanta’s most important independent newsrooms is shutting down. The Atlanta Civic Circle is closing due to a lack of funding. This is a critical problem for the city, and we need our readers to act on it. Now is the time to support local news outlets like ACPC.

The inevitable outcome of the anti trans panic. Gender nonconforming Black women being harassed in bathrooms.

amazing

Minnesota GOP Party Chair Alex Plechash defends MNGOP's moment of silence for Chauvin at their convention: "There are a lot of people I think that believe Derek Chauvin was improperly convicted & not treated well & those people wanted to have a moment of silence in recognition bc they felt that way"

Oooh. Wish I could do this…

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

Fascism gears up for climate genocide.

it is very simple folks. "unqualified DEI hire" is when you're not a white male, "merit-based promotion" is when you are a white male and also pete hegseth's personal assistant. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

Trump really has remade the whole conservative movement in his image. Weiss is just like him, a petulant power mad imbecile who can do literally nothing right and gets incandescent with rage anytime she is questioned, but also too much of a chickenshit to fire people to their face

The richest assholes told the government to cripple the agency that collects taxes so they don’t have to pay anything, and they did it

This painting by Rudolph Zallinger was done in the early days of paleontological art, so their portrayal of dinosaur anatomy is pretty dated. But these were the images of dinosaurs that I first encountered as a child, and I will always love it for that. #dailynerdfix #nationaldinosaurday

Posted by someone who is definitely not a rapist. No sir. Not a single confirmed rapist to be found.

Oh, it's also National #DinosaurDay! Be sure to give your favorite dinosaur a hug. Carefully.

A reminder that Bovino planned and executed the racist terror campaign against Latinos that Brett Kavanaugh explicitly blessed in September. Kavanaugh Stops were born through Kavanaugh giving Bovino the benefit of the doubt.

Sigh. Whatever. I really don’t give a damn about remakes. At least it probably won’t be that fucked up bigoted version that was floating around.

Leif Erikson was pretty badass for someone who sounds like he was named by Gwyneth Paltrow.

1/x I know I'm kind of a mouthy embryonic sugar glider about this, but while this story is important and if you care about trans ppl I encourage you to read it, I want more such stories to come with the reminder that *naturalized gender is a project of fascism*. This isn't *just* about hatred.
