Kristi Noem Appears With Bandage Over Ear Struck By Words

If you'll allow me to say it, The Onion is cooking with gas today.

Mike Green held the door open for me when I was heading into (then) Kettler Iceplex. I was on crutches after a meniscus tear and said “ah, cheers Greenie!” without even thinking 20 minutes later I was still giggling

Kid A Arthur Rubenstein plays Beethoven and Kind of Blue

the people obsessed with "ideological diversity" in online spaces are the same people who experience none in their daily lives

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

“OMG they’re rioting in L.A.!!” Meanwhile, in the beautiful landscape that is Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles. 💙

This guy is just posted up outside of Congress and I’m honestly not sure what his political views are but I agree

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Calvin & Hobbes is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic strips of all time and I feel like we STILL underrate it.

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

Extraordinary I have to write this. The Roma are human too. The Roma have rights too. The Roma have been persecuted for centuries. The Roma were the last enslaved people in Europe. The Roma are last whipping boy IN Europe - on BBC this lunchtime people being openly discriminatory. STOP

god just sort of zoning out and making 20,000 different kinds of ants

So just a huge fuck you to @creditkarma.bsky.social because literally they had a class action lawsuit about this very phenomenon of lying about approval (that first email was AFTER I had applied w/my tax info etc) and then declining the offer. CK gets $ from every application, successful or not.

A terrifying escalation:

Totally agree. My hometown reeks of uh, desert blooms, really good food, and lots of people engaged in their communities It’s not a perfect place but the Fear of Cities people could not be more wrong about what urban life is like.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

Post a photo from 10 years ago lol this is one of my favorites, perfectly capturing the essence of life with these two

The population of Greater Los Angeles is larger than the population of fourteen full STATES, COMBINED. 200 protestors on 3 blocks is not a fucking insurrection. We have film shoots for Nickelodeon bigger than this.

Here's your LAPD when they think no one's looking

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

My hometown coming *correct* 🥲🥲🥲

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

The importance of ther tear gas defuser

brewing a pot of coffee so strong i'm gonna finish june today

ICE crossed a line in LA

fascism has always been an effort to steal the left's terms, analysis, and mobilization for the cause of established hierarchies.

Excellent question.

Coco giving the ballkids the trophy to raise.

Embarrassing and terrifying.

This has significant implications for Mario lore

Coco Gauff wins the French Open capturing her 2nd major title

Love you, Coco 🥹🥹🥹 so well deserved!

I just love him so much. Always intelligent and well-spoken but also brings a lot of heart to the job, and you can tell he loves these guys...so, so well deserved and hopefully just the beginning for Carbs here in DC.
