God says Leah is ugly 🥺☹️

He was a Communist, Elmo.

I just learned that the guy in Pluribus who played the mayor is indeed the mayor of Albuquerque. I love a fun cameo.

Respectfully, & I say this as a former journal editor (BMJ, PLOS Med) & Nature author: I think your editorial decision-making process here went wildly astray. I really do not think journals should allow members of the Trump regime to launder unsubstantiated, unscientific MAGA/MAHA talking points.

For anyone using runway models as a physique goal: 1. Don’t. 2. Don’t, because their features that look especially amazing and unusual are genetic. Yes, they tend to eat with deliberation and exercise as a matter of routine, but that’s just refining unusual features they were born with.

Judge Kacsmaryk writes to say that the First Amendment only protects "public discourse necessary to self-government," as he slurs drag and holds it not protected.

In any other context it’d be pretty awesome to be called a libertine by one of the most gameless men alive. I’m very proud of these students and their bravery.

apologies if i owe you an email but i am quite gigantic (lorg) and your concerns are of little matter to me e.g.

"we don't want people thinking Democrats are for open borders" I am! who gives a shit!!! my life has been immeasurably improved by the presence of immigrants in my community, regardless of their status, there is literally no downside there! why would I give a shit!!!!

Attention white people: ice raids are leaving hungry scared dogs

it’s impossible to explain the law review industrial complex to the general public without sounding like a guy you'd avoid on the subway platform. "the articles regularly cited by judges up to and including the supreme court are edited by students" like what? no surely that can’t be how it works.

I understand that I’m supposed to be intimidated by Brits brandishing cute little knives, I get that that’s the intent, but living in a place where we settle traffic arguments with handguns reallllly skews my perspective.

To be blunt, we’re your canary. And we’re sick and tired of it. We warn you and you ignore us. Politicians use us to score “good Christian” points. Then y’all act surprised when your rights get stripped away. If you even hint at being anti-trans, you’re an asshole & trash.

It’s ok to not understand complex things. But that doesn’t mean that they’re lies.

you mean a singer who glamorized the use of colonized Kenya as a romantic aesthetic for the West is a far right sympathizer?????

I love browsing TheRealReal because periodically I’ll stumble upon a garment that looks like something you’d wear to be violently sacrificed by a forest-dwelling doomsday cult

hell yeah

Jan 15, 1941 #WWII The adherence of President Camacho's government to continental solidarity in the event that war should reach this hemisphere was reiterate, he said: "Aggression against any Pan American country will be considered by Mexico as against Mexico herself" www.nytimes.com/1941/01/15/a...

Warning: Reports indicate immigration checkpoints along major interstates in Oklahoma, with Interstate 40 most impacted.

This study helped us understand if/how cocaine use predicts high-risk sex. Some behaviors are conditioned - we perform them unconsciously based on prior learning. The authors needed to understand if repeated cocaine use conditioned sexual behavior. The quail are simply a model organism…

I block people who chronically say that things like defunding harm reduction and brutalizing immigrants is “a distraction from the Epstein files”. If all he cared about was distraction, he could have Karoline flash the press pool. These choices are deliberate. The cruelty is on purpose.

Hans Zimmer is doing the score to HBO's Harry Potter show. Another one bites the dust

Internet Lefties: "i uh, i non-specifically hope bad things generally happen to people who are not good! (this is not an actionable threat!!)" Random Democrat in Minnesota: "I AM GOING TO COMMIT A FEDERAL CRIME, TODAY, HERE ARE MY GPS COORDINATES! TRY TO STOP ME YOU FASCIST PIGS!"

Fuck off with your posturing doomerism. Go live in the woods if you don’t think anything matters.

BREAKING: The controversial hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau has been *cancelled,* I can now report. A senior official with Africa CDC confirmed the cancellation and said GB officials are working to make sure any research is conducted ethically: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The eagle devouring a snake atop a cactus references an Aztec legend, and is where the design of the Mexican flag originates. Modern interpretations of the legend and its depictions (like the flag) understand the eagle as Mexico, devouring its foes (the snake). So that’s a hilarious design choice.

Why not help a trans Girl Scout meet their cookie-selling goals? This link has a list of Scouts you can buy from. Each link goes to the individual's order page. Please order from those who haven't met goal yet, there are lots to choose from. 🏳️‍⚧️ www.erininthemorning.com/p/2026-trans...

Man I love law enforcement challenge coin discourse. Challenge coins are absolutely fascinating.

I’m sure that the multiple (at least five so far) Chinooks flying overhead towards Ft Hood is nothing to worry about* *honestly have no idea but it is unusual and they’re giant and loud and very hard to miss

Public health without an unwavering dedication to evidence, justice, and the public welfare will inevitably become a health-flavored arm of fascism.

NEW: The Trump admin unexpectedly canceled almost $2 billion in funding for substance use and mental health. Organizations today are forced to lay off staff and scale back lifesaving services, like opioid reversal medications for first responders. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

We are collecting information on terminated SAMHSA grants at Grant Witness: grant-witness.us/submit-samhs... If you worked on one of these programs, please let us know at the link! And please share with your colleagues. We need a comprehensive record of these terminations to fight back!

Pickleball, walking doggy and books are my top 3 ways to stay sane during this shitstorm.

You know that joke about going for a mental health walk even when you really don’t want to? Angry eagle and all that? That. Whatever makes you a tad happier, do it. Even if you grumble about it.

Here's the kicker: January 2026 is Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month. www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...

We have an update on Charlie’s newfound love of printing.

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things. This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

And a lot of times the drug use is a result of chronic unemployment and homelessness, not vice versa. My drug of choice was alcohol, but if I was forced to sleep on the sidewalk, you better believe I’d take whatever I could get.

SAMHSA grants have been an wildly successful. The administration is fighting the war on addiction on the side of addiction.
