Yes. Menopause is second puberty. I have to explain this to every white suburban elder Millenial and Gen X client that comes in crying about back fat and not being able to fit into a B cup. Its the final surge of hormones before your uterus finally gives the fuck up on baby making

ā€œDoctors have been clear that she will die within daysā€ without this care, Lawyer Gina Amato said at a press. ā€œDeporting this family under these conditions is not only unlawful, it constitutes a moral failure that violates the basic tenets of humanity and decency.ā€

After he got caught using hundreds of fake AI studies to back up his bullshit report, RFK says he’s gonna ban NIH scientists from publishing their work in scientific journals. wapo.st/4kCDCcB

I would be shocked if that’s not happening already and especially after reading 2025

BREAKING: Trump says he will increase US steel import tariffs to 50%

This…this…I mean I don’t think we could write something to make fun of Bari Weiss’ sister that is this funny.

Target's bold "Pride" collection this year features a colorless hoodie with the words "Out Loud & Proud" written teeny tiny only the string.

It is mind blowing how many Democratic policymakers (even really good ones!) still believe that increasing fossil-fuel production will lower domestic electricity prices. 🧵

Incredible work by the photo editor here

This guy has murdered hundreds of thousands of people this year, most of them children.

lawfare is of course when you try to hold political figures accountable for crimes they commit

It's the weekend, baby

SCOOP: Sahil Lavingia, who says he was fired from DOGE after speaking out about his experiences there, told WIRED about how he communicated with the group, who appears to be in charge, and what might be coming next.

Keep protesting outside Tesla dealerships. We may be months away from a complete breakdown, or something even funnier.

NOW— Mass ICE arrests happened/are happening at the Manhattan immigration court at 290 Broadway on the 20th floor. I was just outside the building and an observer came out crying, confirmed they witnessed people getting detained outside courtrooms while families watched and wept.

sooo many of the writing jobs ive been looking at are training AI chatbots meanwhile im trynna scrape rent with human writing by a human it's depressing and sucks subscribe to the newsletter here keep a few more words alive buttondown.com/theswordandt...

It is so fucking funny to have a damning piece like that NYT one come out about your drug abuse and erratic behavior and show up like this in the White House immediately after

If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.

😭😭😭

It’s a little known fact, but there are genuinely not that many planes available for deportation to be carried out on. ICE doesn’t have its own fleet of aircraft. It contracts with private companies to provide charter air service. And there aren’t that many unbooked airplanes + crew floating around.

HAM TRUCK

I urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding. It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job. unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

Okay, folks, you know what to do here.

Still mostly offline, but I wanted to flag this. The United States depends on a perpetual underclass. I'm not arguing this is good, I am saying it as a statement of fact. What Trump has successfully done is blame that underclass for all of our ills. These are homes that are not going to get built

perfect, absolutely no notes.

Nature ran a piece finding that 25 million people could die as a result of ending USAID. This puts Trump and Musk in the category of the most brutal leaders of the 20th century in terms of unnecessary lives lost. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The CDC will continue to recommend the Covid vaccines for children. Contradicting HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the CDC continues to recommend the coronavirus vaccines for healthy children, according to new documentation posted to the agency's website. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Everyone who wrote splashy features about how Elon Musk is done with Washington

*spit take*

This is much more likely to me than the idea he’s not aware we had former Nazis help build rockets. I’d say in general a lot of pretty horrific rhetoric conservatives put out gets excused under ā€œlol they’re not smart.ā€

ā€œforeign class of servantsā€ suggests there’s a domestic class of servants and …I’d like to hear more of his thoughts on this.

Yes, it's real. Yes, we hear the yearning for merch. We just rolled it out this morning. But keep an eye out for this at your local HRC Pride booth.

Pope actively counterprogramming Donald Trump's birthday parade on the same day. Some real WCW Nitro shit, I love it.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

The Katie Miller scoop:

2023 and 2024 were the worst two fire seasons in Canadian history, and so far 2025 is starting on a similar pace. Get ready for more orange skies and dangerous smokey days this summer. My analysis for @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

fascinating stuff from Macron

currency of the realm in republican politics is a blithe contempt for life and indifference to suffering

I heard a lot of this thinking from conservative White Evangelicals I interviewed about Covid. They knew they and others might die, but they didn't care. Because they figured if they died, they'd go to heaven sooner. And they figured if non-believers died and couldn't go to heaven, that's on them.

An incredibly devastating decision which simply ignores the human costs and blesses the Trump admin's stripping of status of hundreds of thousands of people who entered the country legally — which the explicit stated goal of rapidly deporting those people without a court hearing.

A woman who gets free government health care smiles while saying, "Well, we all are going to die," at the prospect of poor people and their children dying from lack of food and health care.
