my congressman (Chuck Edwards, R-NC) was out for sushi at the same restaurant as me last night and left the bathroom without washing his hands after using the urinal also hats off to the “you suck Chuck” dude who confronted him as he exited

In the vein of posts today from @billmckibben.bsky.social @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social @volts.wtf @brooklynspoke.bsky.social and many others about how we can fight back against the forever wars by embracing a vision of a world where oil becomes irrelevant, I offer the following:

Days after his third dementia screening in six months the president of the United States, who is an open pedophile, abducts a foreign head of state

I think it's important to keep reminding ourselves that congressional inertia is not normal

These guys need to accept that allowing all this to happen is indistinguishable from doing it.

Probably time for all of us to call and yell at the people who are supposed to be doing their fucking jobs

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

Time to dig up the rhinestone NO WAR FOR OIL baby tee I wore once a week to eighth grade and present it to a spiritual successor. Y2K is back and it sucks!!!

Greg Grandin is an authoritative voice here but it hinges on Rubio having told the truth to a legislator which warrants skepticism. On the other hand, it is the (second?) funniest possible outcome, so it may come to pass

this admin is profoundly and absolutely detached from reality, in a directly internet and slop-enabled way that I do think is genuinely unique in history.

Always the bridesmaid and never the bride of having your president kidnapped and renditioned to stand trial in another country…

Oops, I did it again, I turned in the gyre I loosed blood dimmed tides, Oh baby baby Oops, your things fall apart, Mere anarchy starts; I drowned that innocence

"He has also committed genocide recently."

"The world's richest man, a well-documented drug addict who is a Nazi and a major support and adviser of the President of the United States of America, has created a website that produces CSAM on demand at scale while he demands ethnic cleansing worldwide"

the correct way to end the year, especially this year, is the ritual burning of xmas trees in the street in south philly. every time one finished burning, the crowd gleefully chanted, “ONE MORE TREE! ONE MORE TREE!” until, as if summoned, someone else came , parting the crowd & dragging another tree

The way we need to market this shit is to do what conservatives did for the past 30 years and write books like “The ten forbidden truths you’re not allowed to say on politically correct tv” and then it’s just cities are mostly fine and it’s good to get a flu shot

New York City has a new mayor

There’s a lot of reasons to be hopeful, but there’s even more reasons to keep trying, hopeful or not. With all the love I have in my heart for you, for the people you love, and for the people who love you, happy new year, let’s fuckin gooooooooo

I've waited 3 years to make this post

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

We need Nuremberg trials for the Trump administration officials who illegally sent these men to a torture camp. No "forward, not backward" BS. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Happy “Mommy Help There’s Something Wrong With My 3D Pen Again” day to all who celebrate

“‘Every American should be able to drive to a store, buy a system and start generating energy within minutes — that’s our mission,’  Chou said.”

Apropos of nothing but if you’re uh in San Francisco and happen to be uh a bit miffed about PG&E letting infrastructure go to shit again, now’s a great time to get involved with Public Power SF www.publicpowersf.org/takeaction

The only formal legal institution that has effectively stood up to American fascism is the jury.

Genuinely if Bari wanted to have a Serious Debate about Ideas that Matter featuring Stephen Pinker they could debate the question “Why Did Stephen Pinker Help with Jeffrey Epstein’s Legal Defense in 2007”

Hey SLUTS 🫵 the Epstein files were just released 💥💥 and ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ BILL CLIT-TON ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️

Ah. Hello, Mr President.

No matter how this falls out, the ordinary people who trusted in their government and institutions have watched every institutional safety net fail due to the cowardice of people who would rather protect pedophiles than children, and I don’t know how a country comes back from that

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

ICE whistles work.

AND? I mean I appreciate this info but it’s a daily occurrence and I’m not seeing a plan from people (like you) with a lot of actual institutional power. (Unlike us.)

I’ve got an Access Virus Indigo that no longer produces sound. All the lights and everything else work. Long shot but do any synth people have any ideas/know someone who could hop on a call and help me debug?

slow day in the office so figured we'd start some beef with museums

everyone who is trying to build the malevolent machine god also appears to be doing a lot of securities fraud and stuff which, you know, two basilisks one stone

A very simple, free, easy thing to do if you're American is CALL YOUR SENATORS. Yes, Republicans, too. Let 'em hear you say, "NO! This isn't acceptable. It's inhuman, cruel, and discriminatory." "It" being any law they are trying to pass against the existence of trans people.

Someone (legal institutions) should do something (actually enforce the laws of the land even and especially against the rich and powerful) extremely soon

absolutely wild move by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov to allow comments on the dropbox folder with the epstein photos

Becoming clear that the shocking thing isn’t that they’re all getting away with it: it’s that Epstein eventually didn’t

Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.

I think this is useful to read the whole way through to see just how Internet-poisoned right wing billionaires are. This guy is insane nyeditorialboard.substack.com/p/john-catsi...

The purses will get weirder until morale improves

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.

TIL Nick Fuelling, the guy who stole my entire housing deposit in SF ten years ago, is running the same scam under the same name in NYC. At the time, my group of victims teamed up and got our money back. Anyone know what the best way to fuck up this guy’s SEO is? www.kron4.com/news/bay-are...

Wow www.propublica.org/article/usai...

Primary them all and block anybody who comes with the “at this crucial juncture the most important thing is that we win.” if they believed that they wouldn’t do this and with friends like them nobody needs enemies
