Silver lining, but this is hilarious "We didn’t wait 20 years for Bobby to finally speak and then get served Tylenol as an answer," anti-vaccine group Georgia Coalition for Vaccine Choice wrote."

Anyone who pledges to do whatever it takes to backstop Argentina's currency and economy has not quite internalized what that job entails.

x is such a weird place man

Holy shit

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

What movie do you consider “perfect”?

I wish Bluesky critics would acknowledge this simple, somewhat horrifying fact

💯. Progressives have to stop franchising out their consciences to the courts. Politics is about moral choices. The problem with Reform's proposal isn't that "the courts won't allow it". It's that it's grotesque and inhuman. If we're democrats, we must believe that this argument can be won.

"They've said they'd do that" is crucial. The most important lesson of the last ten years is: when these people tell you who they are, believe them. Anyone saying "surely even Reform wouldn't go that far" just hasn't been paying attention.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child."

MAGA Spokesperson: Jesus has just returned. MAGA: MAGA: MAGA Spokesperson: But he won't pledge loyalty to Trump. MAGA: MAGA: MAGA Spokesperson: So we're crucifying him again. MAGA: *thunderous applause and cacophonous cheering*

This administration’s staggering corruption is dangerous beyond belief. And it’s a complete slap in the face to every single family working hard to put food on the table.

The President of the United States PUBLICLY pressuring the Attorney General go after his political enemies. And an entire political party, and half the country, will yawn & look the other way. Sure, blame Trump for democracy & the rule of law slipping away. But so, so many others deserve blame too.

The most terrifying thing you’ll see today.

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Strive to raise your children so that they do not turn out to be like this woman.

Triannual rewatch of MASTER AND COMMANDER tonight. Thinking this time about the total clarity of the action in the final battle sequence—it's chaotic and dizzying, but each moment of combat has a coherent sense of cause and effect, and because you've come to know each face, the deaths have impact.

When I was still in primary school my teacher put up disparaging cartoons of leading politicians on the classroom wall as part of a lesson about what it meant to live in a free country.

You will regret starting this game.

Melissa Hortman was murdered by a man who had been registered as a Republican and kept a hit list of dozens of Democratic lawmakers and abortion-rights advocates. MAGA influencers lying about it are no better than the few people on the left celebrating Kirk’s murder.

Not for the faint-hearted…

Why does he look like he’s turned over the exam paper and he’s just realised he revised for a completely different syllabus…

So google maps updated some satellite footage, here’s one single Ukrainian village. One out of thousands

I remember when Molycorp went down and look at where that got us. Bottom line is private capital alone is not up to this. The contrarian distressed guy in me wants to take the other side of this conga line of clowns who did one heavily staged managed trip to China and gave up. #EnergySky

“It’s time for our town and city centres to be rediscovered as places where people get together, socialise and feel part of something. This is about more than just Oxford Street and London. It’s about people saying they want more from their streets than them just being corridors for traffic.”

Just the softest most delicate pussies on planet earth

Let me state the obvious that seemingly needs restated. You can BOTH condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk, and still disagree with what he said. This is the USA.

I confess I become increasingly irritated with Brits who inform me in what kind of deep trouble my country is in, and how blind we are supposedly to this, at a time when right wing nationalism is surging in Britain and NATO is hanging by a thread. My Friends. We are in the same boat.

PEOPLE I'M SITTING NEXT TO A DOG ON THIS PLANE THIS IS THE BEST PLANE EVER

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Enjoying a day of what the Fbi calls “Transgender Identity Violent Extremism” in downtown Boston with Frank! Gonna see a space exhibit at a museum. So scary!

It’s so bizarre to hear my own actions be lied about. No, I wasn’t storming the facility. I was trying to help a protester who was about to be run over by a car. Yes, I was wearing a mask. We were being gassed + shot w/ pepper balls. Ofc that doesn’t matter to Laura Ingraham but it’s still weird.

A reminder that in the old days the purpose of dancing closely together was to go through the other person’s wallet or purse.

He doesn’t have to do things legally. Corporations are preemptively complying with what Trump casually muses out loud, reverse-engineering excuses for their actions. Fear works.

This is full on Partrdige from gbeebees

Hate speech simplified:

Literally devastating.

Holy shit scorched earth motherfucker

Censorship is here and it’s come in the form of corporations censoring themselves in order to win favor with the regime.

This Onion story is a little too on the nose.
