I done started drinking already! Happy Lundi Gras. 💜💚💛

I am so sorry if you live in one of those accursed places unfamiliar with a good time, but Happy Lundi Gras from those of us who feel the warmth of God’s smile!

“The U.S. no longer has emission standards of any meaning,” said Margo T. Oge, who served as the E.P.A.’s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups… “Nothing. Zero,” she added. “Not many countries have zero.”

Little Lundi Gras going good.

Can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning

Everywhere this man goes he should be treated as if he murdered millions of children, because he did.

Their "more efficient" process than having writers write: • AI identifies possible stories • Reporters do further reporting and produce notes • Another person uses AI to generate a story from the notes, then rewrites/"tweaks" • Another person fact-checks/edits • Reporter reviews

If they bring back outlaw country I’ll get my cowboy hat out of the closet. www.houstonchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Immigration is an unalloyed good, and immigrants themselves are awesome. Spread the word.

The huge success of "actually eating steak and butter every day is GOOD for me" is great evidence for the Everyone is 12 Now theory

US hockey tweet but can be applied to most things in life

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

how am I going to do my banking

Me as a child: it must be very hard to become a CEO and be very hard work once you get the job Guy obviously on drugs speaking at a conference: the next five years of the economy should be about a dream I had where a dog spoke to me

We are a pariah state

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

ICE is using a Navy war-fighting contract (WEXMAC TITUS) to turn warehouses into detention sites in the US. They're using mil procurement to skip transparency & local safety laws. Call your Reps and demand: 1. Why is ICE using WEXMAC TITUS? 2. Where is the oversight? 3. What are you going to do?

These two are the same age

I think the idea is to get everyone to hate us so that we can complain that we are the victims.

MIGHTY Cooty fiyo....

I hate this more than Ahab hated that damn whale.

I’m proud of our common inheritance of ordered liberty and our heritage of killing Nazis when necessary.

I am Very concerned with the amount of people who Do Not Respect that Shrove Tuesday Approaches.

"There is NOT a remote option for this position. A small travel stipend of two gold doubloons will be provided. However, interns must organize their own transportation to and from the subterranean lair." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/dra...

So this weekend TikTok removed our video about Elon Musk showing up in the Epstein files for "promoting misinformation", which we're sure has nothing at all to do with billionaire Trump megadonor Larry Ellison taking over control of TikTok's algorithm.

In case you don't have Culture www.wwoz.org

I remember this Onion headline striking me in 1998: wow, that really IS depressing; people do that? I've thought of it frequently in the intervening decades, especially these past few years as everything in the world becomes "On-Line Gambling"

It's really hard to hear arguments about common sense from a guy who wore a Totenkopf etched into his skin for a decade.

Just saw that Xing Zhilei, the Chinese DIY influencer, posted an update on his self-built cat town which went viral last year. youtu.be/i1savUPr-yU

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.

wake up homie, new culture war just dropped

It is done. No finishers for the 2026 Barkley Marathons.

This is why I originally got into Ninja Warrior (the Japanese version). The idea of just having no winner because the challenge was too great seemed poetic.

How am I supposed to sleep when there is only 1 Day until Mardi Gras? youtu.be/PsQzRZyWidk?...

Celebrating the community that makes up the game day is 100% relevant to soccer. These idiots have no understanding of soccer. Go buy a freaking hockey team instead.

i didn’t know what “writing code” meant before you dweebs started asking a spell check to do it for you and i definitely don’t know what it means now that you’re treating it like alchemy

Ask yourself: why would this administration want to delete references to Medgar Evers’ racist assassin being a racist? Why might that be? I challenge anyone in this administration or Congress to defend this.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders. Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.

Btw, what “Scots-Irish” means is Protestant. No Irish Catholics allowed. Certainly no southern or eastern Europeans, much less Jews.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Is it ESPN+ or Paramount + or CBS Sports or Nickelodeon today?

Thanks to the Trump administration, you can now just decide that you don’t know things—even if you do know them, @petridishes.bsky.social writes:

The Kyiv Independent’s Anna Belokur examines how Ukraine appears in recently released Jeffrey Epstein files. The files reference flight arrangements for models linked to Kyiv agencies, a failed real estate deal in Lviv, and brief mentions of Ukraine’s 2019 presidential election.

NYT: Trump secretly deported 9 migrants despite court orders to not remove them to their home nations. So, he sent them to prison in Cameroon: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/w...

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

this is a "y'all got jokes" moment considering that there is no more security discipline left in the US national security establishment anymore. The director of national intelligence is a foreign cutout, strike plans are shared on insecure group chats, teenage cybercriminals ran loose in gov

12/12 History will not remember Elon Musk for his rockets or cars. It will remember him as the man who fed the world’s most vulnerable people "into the wood chipper" just to clap for himself. He is one of the deadliest men of the 21st century

1/12 Elon Musk is responsible for more deaths in one year than ISIS and Al-Qaeda caused in thirty. In 2025 his "Department of Government Efficiency" dismantled USAID. He tweeted that he fed it "into the wood chipper." The result was a massacre 🧵
