It’s like we’re all at the dance party scene in Jacob’s Ladder and the demons are less and less disguised.

Nothing can prepare you. Nothing.

The Washington State University Cougar Marching Band freakin' played Trogdor at their halftime show this weekend! And made ME! My husky head finally gets its due! 50 freakin' yards high man!

i think the synthesis so far of the LA/DC/Chicago experiences is: 1) vulnerable people should hide and wait it out to whatever extent they can 2) other people should help them do that, financially and otherwise 3) other people should also get loud 4) not violent though

if you're looking for a very, very very worthy cause to donate to, this one is it!! scarleteen has been around since /i/ was a queer teenager seeking more comprehensive sex ed than school could ever (or would ever) give me

Actually. Huh. This seems like a gimme the more that I think about it? @pfrazee.com is this something that would put a noticeable load on your systems or be otherwise considered antisocial?

Idea: a Bluesky bot that does nothing but quote-post every post added to the discover feed with the time and date it was added, so that you don’t have to wonder why your mentions have gotten so weird.

man good luck hosting a world cup or an olympics, let alone something like a sxsw

Instead of the Nuzzi shit, let's focus on the fact that apparently Johnny Knoxville got married this past weekend, the wedding was officiated by John Waters, and a dog was involved

why can't someone hand me a puppy at a mass transit facility

Man in yes, really, Whitestown, Indiana murders a cleaning lady who accidentally went to his address with her husband. She was a 4 foot 1 Guatemalan immigrant, a mother of four. He shot her in the head on his doorstep. Then he called 911 asking cops to come protect him.

Same, although I will note for the record that this is the compromise position.

This is how you handle a time-out, for the record. Not grimly intimating about the dark forces arrayed to crush your free speech please subscribe to my newsletter for more.

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

It's far from the worst aspect of the story, but the part that absolutely feels the most like an unwatchable cringe comedy sketch is... dude, when was the last time you looked in a fucking mirror? Come _on_. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Thinking about how Summers and Epstein both frequently manipulated the media into giving or withholding coverage when they wanted and how the same media mysteriously decided to wage a scorched earth jihad against Harvard's President Claudine Gay. It's a strange coincidence to ponder!

british labour party declares they won't forcibly remove asylum seekers' gold teeth or wedding rings to cover the costs of asylum process

It is 1998. The U.S. government is launching military action to distract from the news that Bill Clinton got a blowjob. It is 2025. The U.S. government is launching military action to distract from the news that Bill Clinton got a blowjob.

Another method but larger n from this year www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Uh holy shit? Obvious disclaimers: sample size == 1. Duration == 1 year. Tons of work yet to do. But for that one year and for that one person (who I imagine is pretty fucking chuffed) we kinda... cured type-1 diabetes? www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

This is of course lower than if you just detained people purely at random.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

This. A Democratic Party absent Larry Summers would be a _better_ party.

Doctor says, 'Dont worry, parser design is simple. Great programmer Kate Compton has written the parser you seek’

Genuinely hilarious that MTG is splitting from Trump and MAGA because she’s just that dedicated to antisemitism. I fear for my country but this is tremendous content, etc

Never mind the horror of building a lost cause narrative for raping teenagers, I’m struck by the fact that they’re straight-facedly claiming that this is all over and in the past when Donald fucking Trump is president?

I’m at the safe injection site. I’m at the legal gambling parlor. I’m at the combination safe injection site and legal gambling parlor!

In which I learn something important about myself: I honestly dislike marble as an interior furnishing/decorating element. Is this home well designed and decorated? Objectively yes. And yet: if I owned it I’d last a month before swinging a hammer at large parts of it.

The genie grants the wish of anti-wokes. HR and DEI are gone. The American and Northern European economies regress to the scale of small businesses where the owner decides everything. Per capita income falls to the level of Sicily.

This is important context from Julie K. Brown. With alt text.

For a host of structural issues and historical contingencies, it appears that only progressives and socialists are serious about *squints* building out affordable market rate housing to sustain *squints* healthy and liquid housing markets

Insomnia and it’s not remotely close. The man should have let his creep flag fly more often.

I just want a social media site that has the resources to deeply investigate the nuances of every potential ban, but I don't want to pay for it or have ads or have investors. Also I want the site to have lots of users, thus increasing overall mod workload.

In which some poor person asks me "why did a pilates studio need discretionary sign-off?" and I kinda lose it.

Borders should delineate legal sovereignty but should not be barriers to movement.

Death to the newsletter-industrial complex. Stop paying people to feed your own opinions back to you with more adjectives.

Remembering how Biden revived the practice of releasing visitors logs and was rewarded by the press for his transparency with a front page story at his weakest possible moment about how he had Parkinson's based on a Parkinson's expert visiting the WH. (Turns out, Biden did not have Parkinson's)

No single thesis has ever been so vindicated as 'they like Trump and want him to win'

Why the fuck is this framed as “teenager chose to prostitute herself and ruined the career of innocent congressman”

like one out of three elder millennials lost their virginity to portishead. what the fuck are you talking about.

I generally try not to crap on people for aspects of their physical appearance that they have little or no control over, but in the case of this exceedingly awful person who is somehow more than 15 years younger than me, I will allow myself some smug satisfaction.

While camera-based speed and red light enforcement are great and speed governors will help stop the worst repeat offenders, what we really need is for the police to actually enforce basic traffic laws like “you have to actually stop at stop signs and red lights” and “your car needs license plates.”

@ryanlcooper.com FTW

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally. Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.
