(me making fun of your crop rotation idea and thereby holding our people back another 5000 years) jeff thinks the beans have to take turns lmao

Just remembered this jaw-dropping graph by @oceansclimatecu.bsky.social showing the rate of change in CO2 during the previous two deglaciations of the Pleistocene (which, as a fun aside, featured ~400 feet of sea level rise) as compared with today

One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

You know what he’s right it is a shitty musical

Fitness influencers: "you should intermittent fast and take in as few excess carbs as possible" Endurance athletes: [frantically chugging soft drinks and inhaling a bag of gummy bears to buy ten extra minutes against The Man With The Hammer]

Wir alle, kleiner Strandkorb. Wir alle.

minor tweaks to suburbia - not my ideal, but still - can create this paradise.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

I'd like us all to be rescued by a catbus sometime soon

Good morning! You feel like you’re going crazy because their attempts to bludgeon you into submission with weaponized unreality aren’t working on you. Keep it up. You’re doing great.

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

Illinois State Representative: “ICE just tear gassed people near the grocery store Rico Fresh on Armitage - there are helicopters over our houses and armed agents stopping people in the streets, Walmart, Home Depot, all the places people congregate in Humboldt Park, Logan Square and Hermosa.”

Just saw on my alderwoman’s FB that they’re looking for volunteers to help keep an eye out at school dismissal. Shifts start at around 2:30

that chick doesn’t even exist and already im sick of hearing about her

Can’t even laugh at this. The idea of these meatheads skulking around my beautiful, glittering jewel box of a city, looking to tackle every non-white person they see, makes me sick to my stomach. This is the real domestic terrorism.

We will build a new society with no memory of mankind

like, it's one of those myths that crumbles if you actually think about it for even a few seconds and yet bsky.app/profile/toob...

Y'all are poo-pooing the existence of a med bed that can heal almost any ailment but we have photographic evidence right here

What could go wrong.

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

Des Moines is the semi-liberal bastion in Des Moines, and the Des Moines Public Schools are one of the particular bugbears for the Iowa GOP. This is absolutely a specific political attack on the DMPS, on the African community in Des Moines, and on the most diverse city in the state.

Morning walk

Can't stop thinking about the Anthony Fantano-ass ICE agent who dropped his gun and then pointed it at bystanders. Really replicating the Nazis' oaf-little weiner dichotomy

CBS got their hands on a rendering of Trump's big White House ballroom. We'll let you pass judgement in the replies here.

Some Reap the Whirlwind stuff for Comey, I have to say. He thought, as so many have thought, that he could pitch in and play Trump for his own ends and not end up drowning in a vat of slurry. And like all those people, as soon as you outlive your usefulness—well, it doesn’t matter how tall you are.

“Let us eat one last cookie, and then we will stop.”

Will the nyt ever get as mad at trump about anything as much as they got mad at a black lady being president of Harvard

I love Chicago, showing the power of local community organizing Potential ICE sighting posted with pic in neighborhood FB group Within minutes, information on how to report it was posted. Soon after, a state senator posted that a volunteer verified it as clear I hope all cities are doing this

"Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture"

"please rate your package delivery" i mean ill click the smiley face because i assume it impacts the poor bastard who delivered it but i must impress upon you that forcing both him and i into this situation is an act of utter inhumanity and furthermore that god frowns upon your deeds

Chotiner: and then you didn't send him to jail, and he ran again? USA: I mean yes but we do have pretty robust institutions, you know, the supreme court and so on Chotiner: I see. So they were able to stop the worst of it? USA: Well now it um the thing you have to understand

It's literally a transcript of the press conference. 10/10. No notes.

Trump: you can't fit all that liquid in a single baby, there's no way Reporter: [nods] Trump: the number of liquid Reporter: [nods] Trump: it's just too big a number of liquid for baby Headline: Scientists uncertain about Trump vaccine claims. bsky.app/profile/atru...

STEPHEN MILLER: you have no idea what you have awakened. we will save the West. we will turn darkness into light. we will rise like a phoenix from the pit of fire and EVERYONE ELSE AT THE DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS GAME TABLE: ROLL THE FUCKING DIE ALREADY

Elites would rather burn their countries to the ground than allow the masses to make one of their own face consequences for anything. Universally true

I know we all say this a lot, but goddammit he is so naturally (sometimes intentionally) funny, and in another, less horrific reality he could have amused us on the Hollywood Squares.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

Rest peacefully king

saving america from the confederacy requires slaveowners to change their minds *someone whispers in my ear* i am receiving word that the slaveowners have murdered the president and will not be cooperating with any efforts to help former slaves

AND THEN THEY LOST. THEY ALL FUCKING LOST TO REPUBLICANS. IT WAS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND THEY NEVER GOT ELECTED AGAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN. DO ACTUALLY NOT FUCKING COMPREHEND WHY THAT HAPPENED

I’m in Vienna right now. A city which went from being the intellectual and cultural capital of the world to a “provincial backwater” (to quote Brian Barry) in a couple of decades due to nationalism, anti-semitism and fascism which drove away the leading scholars and artists it didn’t murder.
