my sister mentioned this yesterday and I was like that sounds made up but it's real???

oh dip it's true bsky.app/profile/pale...

Oh my fucking god I thought they made this up. They did not. I just tried it myself

They showed this version in schools for maybe 15 years and literally no one in my class had any reaction to a black woman being in it, someone yesterday said Eartha Kitt was Helen of Troy in 1950 and I looked it up and it was Orson Welles who cast her because she was a cabaret dancer and was hot!

if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

If I ever launched an Abolish the Senate campaign, I'd start by taking out billboards all over Texas with images of stereotypical Vermonters saying things like "we choose what's best for Texas" and Rhode Islanders saying "Thankfully, the Senate makes sure my vote counts 30 times more than a Texan's"

wow that sucks, posting dereck rodríguez's Michelle Pfeiffer As Catwoman tattoo to cleanse the palate

Notorious halfwit Andy Barr won the GOP Senate nomination feeding Kentucky voters the same lies about a coal revival that Donald Trump has been giving them for a decade - and he'll probably win the general. Why wouldn’t he, when the scam works so well? paulwaldman.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

You have got to be kidding me. 🤮 #NBA

Three selfless men, likely, saved the lives of over a hundred children.

C’mon man. No one can live like this.

Published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Peer-reviewed. Large sample size. Sound methodology. An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Ensitrelvir blocks the enzyme coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves.

Whoa, hold up there Jeff—who said anything about "double"? You pay an effective tax rate of 0.98%. We want to centuple your taxes. Then again, you'd still be a billionaire, so maybe more than centuple.

Trump is putting no effort into becoming less unpopular but a TON into putting elements of a coup in place. Some of them may remain invisible, but the ones we can see point to his general approach: violent intimidation + corrupt judges + executive branch and congressional coconspirators + bribes.

The replies and quote tweets are … dark

one of my favorite facts about the US coal industry is that it employs less people than Broadway

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

It’s so goofy to me that people are afraid that knowing about trans people is going to turn cis people trans. I hang out with trans people all the time and I’m only becoming more of a Dad. Fucking look at me. Look at how many Mets jerseys I own now. Look how much worse I dress

On the other hand, if you’re suing a billionaire, start demanding their AI logs in discovery

Our first national study shows what doctors and patients have been warning: In states with abortion bans, fewer people are getting miscarriage care. This can threaten patients' health and lives. And it can add a layer of grief on top of an already devastating experience.

If Democrats had the political instincts and media machine Republicans do, in 48 hours 95% of Americans would know Andrew Paul Johnson's name and be LIVID that the government is getting ready to give him some of your tax money

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

Watch John Oliver literally read passages from and defend LET'S TALK ABOUT IT from book bans on his show, Last Week Tonight: (Starts around the 12 minute mark)

The Four Genders? (Found this. Too good NOT to share.) I'm a weirdough, how 'bout you?

I’m old enough to remember when this was just called malware

I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

Obviously what we do next is send down a crewed vehicle to investigate what happened to the robot one. I'm sure the unknown structures of the frozen deep are just a coincidence and this will be fine.

In an act of civil disobedience in 1978, disabled protesters blocked Denver buses to demand wheelchair lifts. But before they could build a civil rights movement--they needed to go to court to win the right to be arrested. My story. @npr.org stephrwolf.bsky.social www.npr.org/2026/03/19/n...

there’s music for literally every activity

It's the TAKE OUT THE TRASH cycle. We may not get this opportunity again. Put these fucks out of work, do everything in your power to ship their asses.

Also the next somebody says reparations for black people is a ridiculous idea, remind them that we have a reparations program for trying to overthrow the government

For my what now?!

GENIE: I can summon anyone in history you’ve ever wanted to meet ME: Hammond Cheese. GENIE: … ME: The guy who invented the Hammond Cheese sandwich GENIE: That’s not a real guy. ME: Then I wish he WAS real, that he was here, and that he’d make me a sandwich GENIE: that’s three wishes ME: ok

NYC Public Defenders Condemn the Treatment of Samantha Randazzo, Who Gave Birth While Handcuffed to a Bench in an Open Courtroom at Brooklyn Arraignments

New York City’s delivery minimum wage more than doubled worker earnings without any adverse impact on industry revenues, according to a new report by a tech-aligned think-tank that nonetheless chides policymakers for messing with the industry’s “gig-based” employment model.

This is like a setup to a horror movie where you actually root for the ancestral spirit of vengeance to kill everyone.

the inability to face this among IR analysts and geopolitical pundits is in large part because the strongest lens for understanding Trump are personal psychology, gender, and race, all of which have traditionally been weak points of understand in the field.

Grid-scale batteries are going in an absolutely wild pace. Every whingey objection to renewables you've ever heard is basically solved by batteries. This is happening whether any of the hopeless dipshits running the US want it or not.

what i think @hurricanexyz.bsky.social is dead-on in highlighting here is that the VA supreme court ruling was a violation of the VA constitution itself, which quite explicitly notes that the power of the people to reform their constitution is sovereign and inalienable

hey john. its your cousin marvin. marvin cage! you know that new sound youve been looking for? well listen to this *hangs up phone*

Also DC's legal department had to get 141 separate likeness release contracts signed and processed for this cover to happen, which, depending on the final number of billable hours, might make it the most expensive cover they've ever published. I am stupidly pleased about this.

When Trump won I didn't necessarily imagine this headline *specifically* but I did imagine that the headlines would look something like this
