Culture war in retreat. This probably could’ve happened months ago if so many schools didn’t immediately fold. Keep fighting.

one reset I'd personally appreciate: behind the insistence that we must offer the electorate a little bigotry is the idea that commoners are more bigoted than the richer and more educated, who can be appealed to with high minded policy. but then you Ctrl+F "phrenology" in the Epstein files

Imagine all the stories we’re not hearing

Jeez I love working at an explicitly woke company. The vibe is so pleasant. People are friendly and welcoming. Going into the office is optional but people do bc it’s nice. Morale is GOOD here. Those are load-bearing pride flags in the flowerpots. Turns out nice is better than mean, who knew?

lol, it’s a lot easier to form a tenants union when everyone in the building is in the same group chat

He’s wearing the jeans the whole time so we’ll stop asking when they’re gonna fuck. You can’t fuck in jeans. They’re obviously frotting

The new MAHA campaigns are going to make kids stop eating vegetables the way my aunt accidentally got my cousin to quit weed by telling him how much she loved it and trying to bond with him about bongs

I refuse to accept a future where we continue to do this.

‘His life is in danger,’ U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said about newborn Juan Nicolás. The child fell ill after spending almost a month — or half his life — in a San Antonio-area family detention facility.

I just love her so much!!!

This eugenic fantasy is shared by a lot of the ruling class and has known in climate advocacy circles for some time now, but is still shocking to see laid out so plainly in the Epstein files.

I teach a lot of working class first generation students at Nicholls in South Louisiana. I will never give up my conviction that my students deserve Homer and Sappho and Sophocles and Ovid and Dante too. It's not too good for them.

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back. Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

Everyone involved in this humanitarian disaster needs to be held accountable and the suffering as a result of this unconscionable cruelty must continue to be reported on as often as possible. The victims cannot be forgotten.

ICE is using their huge budget to buy more warehouses and turn them into prisons for children. The only way this stops is if ICE is completely defunded

This technology already exists and is widely used. It doesn't involve 'government surveillance' and would not allow ICE or any other government agency to stop individual cars. Just say you think thousands of kids dying every year is worth it so you can speed! www.autoweek.com/news/a615322...

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

very funny saga on local reddit of a tiny dog somebody found in the marsh that looks like a teddy bear but won't stop trying to fuck everything. please if you're missing an extraordinarily horny dog contact the foster he's ruining their lives

I love Clojure because it feels poetic. There’s a creative freedom in it that I don’t feel with OOP languages. Cool blog post attempting to quantify that by analyzing “DRYness” in various codebases: in unique LOC, Clojure comes out on top! boyter.org/posts/boiler...

On 1 February 2026, batteries in CAISO never reached zero discharge rate while the sun was down, displacing gas and imports in California and supplying renewable electricity all night long. #energysky www.caiso.com/todays-outlo...

somebody’s sweet plums are crowding my icebox somebody’s cold plums are giving me chills

once again, public opinion on 'trans issues' did not just change out of nowhere. there was little to no constituency for it back in 2018, and after Bostock the conservative movement decided to invest in the issue to create the environment we have.

I am officially a San Francisco resident again. We are home.

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...

hello, is this the newspaper. i would like to announce that i can't get laid. no, i don't mean a personal ad. i want to be in the news part of the newspaper. no i will NOT hold for a manager.

chiefs should win, super bowl . lets invent new disease like cold but worse. cancel, game of thrones. can we make kids, snort cinnamon on tiktok. lady ga ga meat dress

One of the most surprising things I've learned from my research is that "how hot it's gotten so far" doesn't tell us much about "how hot it's going to get eventually". Long-ago, really weird climates can tell us a lot more about where we're headed.

The academics may not get it but the survivors sure do... www.jta.org/2026/01/30/u...

I am a single-issue voter and it’s this

I cannot overemphasize enough how important it is every district in the US have someone running on the Democratic line this November. And ideally that it be someone not trash. This is a super important time to be aware of your local primaries. This is actual "Fuck it! Run yourself!" hours

I basically can’t drive thru our little downtown for the foreseeable future despite major roads passing there bc twice in the last week they lobbed tear gas at protesters (which def also affected cars driving by). Tear gas is an abortifacient and I’m pregnant w twins. Thanks, I feel protected now!

A bystander took a heart-wrenching picture of Liam Ramos in his hat and Spiderman backpack, and there was pressure, and he and his father are free. We must not forget all the prisoners still in the camps whose names and faces are known only to their loved ones. We must make miracles for them, too.

They’re looking at an opportunity to actually break through the nightmare that the last 30 years of American governance has been but they absolutely must act before the political winds shift again.

Real talk: if the environment is anything close to what yesterday’s special election implies in November, there need to be people working very hard on a serious agenda for a substantial Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, focused on voting rights, democracy, and court reform.

Need people to keep me honest so I’ll be pushing chapters of my second book to my newsletter. It takes place after the death of an Epstein-like figure from the perspective of a couple bitter ladies who want to ruin the lives of all his associates (and also maybe fall in love…?) the-buttlist.ghost.io

The Epstein files are putting a lot of us in the strange position of being not just vindicated but almost too vindicated. Most of us thought the public patterns implied horrendous things but the reality is even worse and all-encompassing

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

One of the most frustrating things to try to explain to anyone not extremely online is the depth of how fucking stupid *l*n m*sk is

“/pol/ was created after moot met with jeffrey epstein” is maybe the single most cursed true sentence I have ever had the displeasure of writing

When I said this was government by family annihilators who believe themselves to be patriarchs of the whole world, everyone yelled at me but it’s become increasingly more obvious by their own propaganda. They can’t take it with them but they can try to take everyone else out on the way

Wrote about some anime horse girls taking over nfl TikTok and what that means for the future of fandom for @aftermath.site

Which part of this sequence can be reformed

Notorious child murderer and creator of pedophilic technology launches new threat against children everywhere

Amy when you’re done self-promoting do you think you could go get that kid out of that concentration camp

Would you like to learn a lot of things you almost certainly didn’t know but they’re all about amphibian reproduction?

No work tomorrow. No shop tomorrow. Get in the streets for all of them. Get in the streets for him

Share this with everyone you know. ICE has not backed down in Minnesota. They are kidnapping children from their homes and sending them to an unheated prison in the dead of winter. The maximum legal detention time is 20 days (still too long!). Some kids have been imprisoned over 100 days there

Walz, Frey, Trump, Homan, Noem, Miller are all aligned in wanting us to believe they’ve negotiated a de-escalation. They’re all lying. There’s no change on the ground. DHS brushed that magic “benefit of the doubt” dust off and continues terrorizing our community. Abolish. Prosecute. Impeach.
