I don’t kink-shame, but I struggle to grasp the utility function of the person who gets this email from the Chronicle of Higher Education and thinks “Yeah, that seems like a great way to spend three days staring at my computer.”

Sen. Grassley is complaining about how long it will take to conduct roll call votes on every Trump nominee if there are holds placed on them and honestly it sounds great to me.

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.

SPACESUIT FACT: We laugh at the meanly named blobfish (psychrolutes marcidus) because of his looks in the left photo, here above sea level. But in his home habitat at 60-120x the pressure a la the right hand photo, this guy looks normal. So on the left, that's you in zero pressure without a suit.

The agent who handcuffed a congressional aide is William Krejci of Keasbey, New Jersey, DHS Area Commander. His social media is locked down pretty tight but a Yelp account tied to the same email address he used for LinkedIn shows a face and forearm tattoo that matches the video.

The SCOTUS didn't shoot themselves in the foot. They ruled on this exactly how trump wanted it, which was the point. You're giving them far too much credit. This was purposeful and deliberate, for trump. www.rawstory.com/scotus-decis...

It’s important to remember that Memorial Day is a day to solemnly pause and remember all of those who died trying to kill people like Donald Trump, JD Vance, Pete Hesgeth, and Pam Bondi.

Israel and the U.S. have the same problem: A bit less than half of their populations are religion-fueled, sadistic monsters, and they’ve picked the leaders.

Over at the ICC, Hungary has submitted its response in the noncompliance proceedings arising from its failure to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu during his recent visit. Hungary's response is legally flawed and will not avoid a noncompliance finding. Short 🧵 below.
