We didn’t win two world wars to… wait, we didn’t win two world wars at all. Both world wars were won by an alliance of nations, whose soldiers gave their lives to secure our freedoms, which are abused every time a pseudo patriotic bigot evokes the war as an excuse to preach xenophobic bollocks.

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

Dear Canada- Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever. ❤️ from your neighbors below, 🇺🇸 #MakeAmericaNormalAgain

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

This is an outstanding piece. Honest, open, and sobering about what it’s like to be trans in Trump’s America. Victoria leaving auto journalism is a true loss, but read this and you’ll see why. Bravo, friend!

The initial reactions to the horrifying scenes from California this week felt visceral: This isn’t normal. And while it isn’t normal, it’s happened in winter before. Explaining nuance, explaining why THIS event was so bad, and looking ahead in California…

Jimmy Carter Appreciation 🧵: As we mourn Carter's death, there will be lots of discussion of his presidency and his post-presidential exploits, including his work with @habitatforhumanity.bsky.social and the @cartercenter.bsky.social. But I want to talk about Carter and the federal judiciary....

Happy Christmas. If you don't like Christmas, find something else to be happy about. If you're breathing, be grateful. If you love someone, tell them. If you've got a dog, keep an eye on the chocolate. Never turn down a blessing. Most people mean well, and we're all imperfect.

He's making a list, he's checking it twice, he's searching his pockets, and finding his keys, he's checking the list again, and making sure he turned the gas off, hold on now where's the list? Ok found it, better check it again, wait, did he lock up? Santa Claus, is getting too old for this shit.

Beryl has intensified into a Category 3 hurricane and will move into the Windward Islands tonight, likely causing significant damage. It approaches Jamaica, then heads for the Yucatan. After that, its future is uncertain. Invest 96L could bring more misery to the areas impacted by Beryl. #Beryl

This hurricane season continues to look like it will end up with elite status, which means it’s a good year for you to prepare for it. Some comments on NOAA’s outlook and the weak Caribbean disturbance today: theeyewall.com/hurricane-se...

If you're in Houston - or care about someone who is - please read (and share!) @mattlanza.bsky.social's explainer about last night's scary storm. In Thursday's @spacecitywx.bsky.social post, Eric Berger talked about severe weather and possible tornadoes. But it was even more severe than expected.

When we warn the real threat of AI is how it’s used against people in the present, not the fantasies that some day computers might think for themselves, this is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about: health insurers using AI to deny care. arstechnica.com/health/2023/...
