I am once again asking... does anyone in the Trump administration know what habeas corpus is?

really can’t say enough about how mike johnson is a sniveling little coward of a man. a bayou-bred pushover with a dignity deficit that would embarrass renfield

He's just a maverick who doesn't play by the rules, yeah?

‘Only someone as stupid as Ken Paxton can announce to the world that they are doing something undercover,’ one person tweeted.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who should be in prison, is launching an undercover operation to infiltrate transgenderism. This statement literally reads like parody. I wish I could say I can’t believe this is an actual press release from a government official, but of course I can.

Who watches the watchmen? Nobody, because Kash Patel just fired them all.

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

Just got back from a girls weekend in Chicago with my book club. And while I had a great time with friends, we were not unaware of what’s happening there and saw resistance around every corner. Stay fierce as hell, Chicago.

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,

I love to see Ryan Murphy dragged.

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Happy birthday, @queenkandis.bsky.social!

Woke up stressing about what to pack for my weekend trip to Chicago. 5am is an incredibly inconvenient time to suddenly hate everything in my closet.

Democrats "blocked" this bill by ... not voting for it. No dirty tricks or sneaky moves, they just didn't vote for a GOP bill. It needed 60 votes to pass, 53 Reps and 2 Dems voted for it. That, according to the broken Washington Post, means Democrats Are To Blame even though the GOP runs it all.

Perfect time to re-up Rolling Stone's excellent reporting from two years ago:

A new study, based on a survey of 1,150 workers suggests that the injection of AI tools into the workplace has not resulted in a magic productivity boom and instead increased the amount of time that workers say they spend fixing low-quality AI-generated “work.” 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-workslop-...

Only a small amount of DNA was recovered from the crime scene. APD Detective Dan Jackson said it was several picograms of DNA. One picogram is a trillionth of a gram in size. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/how-new-dna-tech-solved-the-yogurt-shop-murders/ 

Also, it’s worth noting that “feeling crime has increased” is not an accurate measurement of whether that’s actually occurring. Major crime rates are down across the country.

I feel naive just writing this, but a president threatening to withhold funding to a city unless it elects his preferred candidate for mayor seems like the sort of thing that shouldn't be legal.

From war-ravaged Portland today.

Nothing like having potentially life-saving news behind a paywall.

There is no such thing as an unsatisfying Timothy Olyphant interview

it’s fucking insane that you can log off for a few hours and come back to find trump invaded another city in his own country

Oh, hey! It’s time to rage-watch English Teacher again. He drives south on the Congress Avenue bridge, so his massive house is downtown? In Austin?

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

He’s probably about to be replaced by Kid Rock.

Guys, I think my Avatar goodwill expired a decade ago.

Their rage at this minor inconvenience will never not be funny.

There is something deeply wrong with the people who take this job.

He's not even trying to hide what an absolutely pathetic, whiny baby he is now, which makes it even more amazing that there can still be anyone left saying "That's our guy!"

I am just never going to understand people who look at these two images and think vaccines are the problem.

It's wonderful when two sociopaths with the mindset of serial killers find each other.

Theme song for Rapture Day:

Amanda Shires spent an afternoon introducing me to Lubbock and a small portion of those very fun hours is now chronicled in Texas Monthly ahead of her new album :) gift link: www.texasmonthly.com/arts-enterta...

Where is the footage of the entire UN collectively rolling their eyes?

Super exciting news for those of us whose entire personalities are 90% Buffy.

Living in America today feels like doing a group project in jr high when most of your group has decided they’re too cool to do the work but actually they’re just too stupid and they’d do a bad job anyway, but you still hate them while having to do all the work.

The erosions of rights and freedoms don't happen overnight; it's a gradual process that first targets our most vulnerable communities. As Gov. Abbott and Texas GOP villainize transgender Texans, they are setting a precedent to go after other marginalized groups they dislike. We cannot stay silent.

I’ve got my rapture outfit all picked out for when I go shopping for abandoned cars and homes.

I refuse to apologize for the person I become during libra season.

So the article quotes the question but doesn't answer the question. The answer is the Katy Police Department. Seems like that matters.

As if the fascism isn’t bad enough, why does he have to be such a goddamned embarrassing baby, too?

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

thoughts and prayers?

“God help us if we lose” is not the kind of energy I need right now, Gavin Newsome.

I thought, sight unseen, that this article was probably gonna be overdoing it, but then I saw the picture where she looks like she just crawled out of a television

Sure, let this thing control everything.

Oh, no. I commented on some dumbass Facebook post about how one semester of college “radicalized” the Kirk shooter like he hasn’t spent the last three years in his parents’ basement with access to their guns.
