They found no fraud—just a new way to screw over retirees at Silicon Valley speed.

Never forget how Adèle Haenel not only called out the Cesar awards for giving an award to Roman Polanski ("Bravo, la pédophilie! Bravo!"), but she also retired from being an actress, because why work in an industry that rewards and celebrates men who treat women like shit and suffer no consequences?

Weather isn’t gonna get LESS severe or unpredictable maybe we should be beefing this up.

At least 27 are dead in Missouri in Kentucky after severe weather alerts were delayed overnight because of DOGE cuts. www.mesoscalenews.com/p/tornado-wa...

Enjoying Borderlands 3 so far. Holy hell the font is so tiny tho! C’mon programmers, the olds game too.

Study begun pre-COVID finds remote work increased sleep by 1/2 hr/night, decreased commute by 4.5 hr/week replaced with work, family & leisure and led to healthier eating. Remote and hybrid employees report higher job satisfaction and well-being. farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...

There's a political economy case to be made that this was the whole ball game for the legitimacy of US institutions among lower-income & -education cohorts. Even though very few workers make the federal minimum wage, a *majority* make less than the inflation adjusted level from the 1960s

Saw a headline today saying that Wallen person would be the soundtrack to the summer and TO WHOMST????

Yes. This is what we are talking about. We hold the power. We need to use the power. #altcitizen #allofus #altUS

I don’t say this to say “It’s always been this way,” because this IS escalation. I say it, because “going back to normal” is not a plan to defeat fascism. Our “normal” is the garden fascism grew out of. Gott plant a new garden, fertilized with the fascisms corpse, the lessons of our failures

We’ve been watching older series we missed the first time. We started during the pandemic and have just kept going. It’s been lovely. Murphy Brown Star Trek: Enterprise Mary Tyler Moore Classic Doctor Who (my first time) Murder She Wrote Brooklyn 99 Battle of the Network Stars

There’s a new pope. Whoopdy Do.

While we’re on the topic of COVID, trauma, and schools… Researchers found a major source of pandemic-related trauma for college students was returning to in-person schooling before it was safe. It was an institutional betrayal. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Point for the right side.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
