If it happens over Labor Day weekend, I'm going to need a loan for the amounts of weed, booze, and fine food that will be consumed

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

That dumb idea about annexing Canada… 🇨🇦

Some questions

Here’s how to find reliable information and keep safe during the summer heat and hurricane season following the unprecedented cuts at federal agencies. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

Jake Tapper gave Trump and masked ICE agents three weeks of cover

Humanity only survives if it matches every advancement in technology with a deepening of the soul. Without clarity about ethics, without sensitivity to truth and beauty, we will quickly lose ourselves in a heartless hellscape of digital minds. Teach the humanities and the arts.

This is Gunner. He is a big strong dog who happens to not be able to sleep until he's tucked into bed with two pillows and his Eeyore stuffy. 13/10

These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other. This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Luka crying during his tribute video before giving the Mavs 45

how does this feel to those of us who have studied international economics and international politics? Imagine an aeronautical engineer sitting on a plane, watching drunk airline execs complaining that "the wings are too big, they slow down the plane" and revving up a giant Sawzall

In case you missed it: the Pentagon--that's Hegseth--got warned about using Signal a week ago.

The NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER added the EDITOR OF THE ATLANTIC to a PRINCIPALS COMMITTEE TEXT CHAIN set up for the DEFENSE SECRETARY about PLANNED MILITARY STRIKES. Here's a thread of involved parties talking about the need for secure communications (when Dems are involved):

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

Bill Nye at the Stand Up for Science rally in DC: "What are you afraid of? What is it about the process of science, modern medicine, caring for our neighbors, or Women's History Month, that you all find so scary?" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

Oliver Darcy has some very good points here

Portnoy asking better questions than most

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

Real life villains: What's that? Billions of dollars doesn't make me cool? Pfff there goes your precious little healthcare and economy

@minakimes.bsky.social gets a ridiculous amount of racist trolls but handles it so well that it furthers her brand.

Chris Paul trying to win the Skills Competition on a rules technicality before ultimately losing and being visibly pissed is actually sort of a perfect summation of Chris Paul. They should play this video at his HOF induction

We're losing all these institutions and protections to a guy who shouted "They're eating the dogs! They're eating the cats!" during a presidential debate and later swayed on stage to a random playlist for three hours.

Here it is in a nutshell: 1. Trump is an authoritarian. 2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy. 3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2. 4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021. Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

The AMA has a YouTube page where you can catch up on all the fun, ongoing TB & bird flu outbreaks, since the CDC is no longer allowed to do that: youtube.com/watch?v=HlPB...

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

Alt Natl Parks is the new Wendy's

It's good actually that the Manhattan Institute people are beating this drum. It creates a space for enough GOP Senators (4) and House reps (2) to move on this issue, and you don't need big numbers here.

Like not to be glib here, but the answer to all of the "wait can he do this???" stuff is "no", with the remedy of impeachment. We're living through a constitutional failure not because the constitution permits this, but because it doesn't and congress will not do the thing it demands in response.

Fun stat that was just brought to my attention - Only 26 times in NBA history has a player averaged at least 18pts, 12rebs, and 5asst. Of those 26 times, 23 of them have resulted in an All-Star nod. The other 3 times? Sabonis, Sabonis, Sabonis.

Just got this tip from an airline pilot

Someone leak the "things that Zuck thinks are value-destroying", please.
