Every time I teach the MOVE bombing, students are shocked. And when I teach the aftermath involving an anthropologist who hoarded some of the remains and used them as teaching tools, they are even more shocked. And I teach in Pennsylvania. Even some students from Philly are unaware of this history

Here's your Sunday-morning El-Nino forecast, holding steady at 2.5°C, using the "relative oceanic nino index," or RONI. The previous high RONI was 2.5°C in the 1982/83 El Nino, so this El Nino is shaping up to be at least tied with the strongest on record since 1950.

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

As the U.S. starves it of oil, Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest solar revolutions on the planet — with China’s help

Yep, nothing like admitting you’re a criminal.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

very good and it zeroes in on a really important dynamic: the way the professionalization of the court and the industry around it serves to insulate the justices from democratic feedback as well as contribute to the idea that the justices are law wizards to whom we *ought* to defer.

If John Roberts is "just calling balls and strikes" couldn't he be replaced by the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) System?

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

I find it absolutely bizarre that people think in January 2029 all of this ends. What’s happened to our society cannot be undone. People have died. Many more will before then. These people don’t believe in the peaceful transfer of power as we know.. there was an insurrection. They won’t be leaving.

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

Do we need a new word for when two warring parties agree to stop shooting at each other? Because the word "ceasefire" apparently now means "unceased fire and ongoing acts of war, but not as much as there was recently."

As far as the whole "If you kill your enemies, you're no better than them" trope goes, I think it works better if it's reconstructed as, "I won't let you break me and turn me into a murderer." Batman's a good example, as his refusal to kill is motivated by the fear that he'll *keep* killing.

It's mind-numbing to me to consider the fact I trust what Iran says more than a U.S. president and his spokesperson.

Awful. You don't want to get any of that toxicity in you. I hope the spider survives this poisoning

i believe that harnessing solar energy is immoral. that energy does not belong to us, it belongs to the sun, and it's going to come back to get it when it consumes the earth in several billion years. don't take what isn't yours. you don't need lights at night if you just remember where everything is

Thanks to Playdate's crank I can create 4D games. The d-pad handles three dimensions while the crank handles the fourth.

I personally love to read shit like "U.S. Pauses 'Project Freedom'" in headlines. Not all good jokes need to be complicated.

Most relatable comic of all time?

The entire Starfox crew has their paw/footprint print as a decal on the left side of their cockpit, but not on the right (you can see Falco's talons if you look really close). Peppy also has tally marks on his cockpit.

you really don't get a shot of James McCloud saying "There's more at stake here than our bottom line" with his and his son's paw prints in the frame unless your art director actually cares about visual storytelling. It's the bare minimum, but leagues ahead compared to the rest of the media landscape

7 dollar gas. Well, I guess I'll buy an electric car. Oh those are 60 thousand dollars? Well at least electricity is cheap. Oh the government won't build solar panels because it's "Too transgender"? Well at least wages are going up. Oh the idea of jobs is fake now? Well at least everyone is happ

One thing this regime has taught us is that a president can do whatever the fuck they want if no one stops him. All that bullshit about "Don't worry, he can't do that because constitution" is being proven to be the lie it is. We are allowing our country to be dismantled by a mad man and his cult.

that thing he does where he gets blown up and his beak spins around to the back of his head? yeah, he uses that for sex

Daffys very role is an unpopular opinion. Chuck Jones said that “Bugs Bunny is who we want to be but Daffy is who we are”: vain, self-centered, terrified at the world and the judgments of others, this plucky duck represents the very darkness at the heart of man’s soul as he struggles against entropy

looks like the nba scheduled another game 7 tonight. i do not know why they ever do this. it doesn't take a math degree to realize that if a series lasts for seven games, one team will end up with fewer wins than the other. it's sloppy, it's asymmetrical, and it's a bad look for the league

Epstein's suicide note has been sealed in a NYC courthouse for 7 years. His cellmate found it in a graphic novel. Federal investigators never saw it. Documents were shredded outside the jail during the active investigation. The NYT is petitioning to unseal it. Watch this.
