Republicans will run ads in Maine blasting Platner over extramarital sexts while running ads in Texas supporting Paxton who has extramarital affairs

These people are so brave.

Duckduckgo has picked up the slack and does the Right Thing 👍

Just put it on the pile of evidence that he's mostly illiterate

It seems right that laws make humane provisions for the case of those who for reasons of conscience refuse to bear arms, provided they agree to serve the human community in some other way. —Gaudium et Spes §79

“Everything costs more and that’s a good thing” is a CRAZY economic message from the White House

The children really are our future, and sometimes they actually are the change they wish to see in the world. Maybe they will even win the war against the robots. Or maybe they will just resist becoming robots themselves. That would be magnificent. www.simchafisher.com/2026/05/31/b...

What the heck is he talking about?! What is this number 69?! He’s clearly off his cognitive rocker!

Our tech overlords are planning for conscious AI to conquer the cosmos. What could go wrong? | Eduardo Porter

A firm determination to respect other men and peoples and their dignity, as well as the studied practice of brotherhood, are absolutely necessary for the establishment of peace. —Gaudium et Spes §78

Platner’s got an Imelda Marcos–sized closet of other shoes waiting to drop

I realize how utterly trivial this is, and how inconsequential in the grand scheme of the ongoing demolition of our republic, but I feel like it’s worth acknowledging the sheer exhaustion of having this illiterate, rambling moron represent our nation in its highest elected office.

Today on Bluesky: I did not expect to see Benjamin J. Grimm all gussied up as one of the three wise men

he was praising a far-right podcast and appearing on it *after the Nazi tattoo was exposed*

Trump’s behavior on social media today is so unhinged even by his standards that I can’t help but wonder what the doctors really told him the other day. This is a deeply unwell person.

Go ahead and slam journalists when they deserve it. I certainly do. But also realize that New York Times journalists Declan Walsh and Arlette Bashizi willingly traveled to an Ebola ward in the Democratic Republic of Congo in order to inform the world. Many journalists are heroes. (NYT gift link)

Now that America’s 250th is officially a Trump rally, someone should sue to stop it. He’s spending public money on this spectacle and the only fig leaf was that it was non political.

What Rupert Murdoch's media didn't report about Talarico's girlfriend

Been wondering how much the ballroom/bunker fixation flows from this incident in Trump 1.0. www.cnn.com/2020/05/31/p...

Are those exact words in the article you cited? No, they are not. So it's 100% fake. Stop rationalizing this fucking shit.

The Trump250 concert is just going to be "YMCA" played over the loudspeader on repeat for three hours.

Conscience is the most secret core and sanctuary of a man. There he is alone with God, Whose voice echoes in his depths. —Gaudium et Spes §16

BREAKING: Mozart has withdrawn from Trump’s Freedom 250 celebration. Fortunately, Salieri is still available.

Among the other atrocities at Delaney Hall last night, state police in riot gear attacked and arrested an elderly man playing a cello through the tear gas and mounted police assault. Well done, Mikie Sherrill. He was so dangerous.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

DEVELOPING: Freddie and the Dreamers have withdrawn from President Trump’s America 250 celebration.

Am a doctor. See patients on aspirin (and warfarin, apixiban, and other anticoagulants). They don’t bruise from handshakes 🙄🙄🙄

Saywhatnow? responsiblestatecraft.org/israel-us-mi...

the fact is these democratic governors do not have actual control over their own state police forces, and that’s a seriously scary problem that no elected wants to talk about or deal with

Asking Claude what it thinks rather proves the point the Pope makes.

God, in fact, is—literally, technically, exactly, precisely, theologically, orthodoxally—nonbinary. Like on any traditional Christian or Abrahamic accounting, or in any classical-theist framework whatsoever, this is not even controversial.

You can’t fire me! I quit!

Quae omnia nos cogunt ut de bello examen mente omnino nova instituamus. —Gaudium et Spes §80

A narcoleptic 80-year old man with black hands, a neck rash and cankles doesn’t need three “annual” physicals in the same year if he is in “perfect health.”

This is an actual Thirteenth Amendment violation, because they have not been convicted of any crime.

"average texan commits 3 crimes per year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average texan commits 0 crimes per year. Crimes Paxton, who is attorney general (??) and commits 10,000 crimes per day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Cut off electricity and water to DHS facilities in these states

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

On the other hand Cornyn is 74, and shouldn’t have been running for office again anyway.

Actions which deliberately conflict with universal natural law principles, as well as orders commanding such actions, are criminal, and blind obedience cannot excuse those who yield to them. —Gaudium et Spes §79

You no longer have rule of law if ICE can block oversight activities and pepper spray a sitting Senator with impunity.

Off to read Pope Leo, both Dilexi Te (which I started but didn’t finish) and Magnifica Humanitas

Insofar as men are sinful, the threat of war hangs over them, and hang over them it will until the return of Christ. But insofar as men vanquish sin by a union of love, they will vanquish violence as well. —Gaudium et Spes §78

As this war stumbles to a close, it is clear that the president is lost: He didn’t know what he was doing when he began it, and now he doesn’t know how to get out of it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
