and this is freddie's brother, dunning

I know the standard online posture is to be jaded and say you’ve seen this before. But I would like to submit that it’s even stupider this time. Last time they acted like serious people who needed our buy-in and paid the weird honor of lying to us. This time it’s just an open clown show

Jesus Fuck, going after suicidal people is dark

Friendly reminder that "they're both assholes" is a perfectly cromulent take on the Tucker Carlson / Ted Cruz interview

Beautiful night for a ball game

Just watched a guy catch a foul ball without dropping his hot dog or his beer, and it’s the most applause of anything that’s happened so far this Mariners game

I am excited to share that @standupforscience.bsky.social is growing! We are looking to hire several positions including: - Event and volunteer coordination - Copywriting (press releases, emails, website, blogs, some social media) - Data analytics and research (marketing, not science 😉) 🧵

Australians will be like “But the spiders the size of dinner plates that hide under your sun visor and fall into your lap while you’re driving are SAFE”

“The president has pushed for a military parade since early in his first term after being impressed by a Bastille celebration that he saw in France” Ok I somehow had missed that it was BASTILLE DAY that put the idea in his head, that’s hilarious

I've told this story before, but when my paternal grandmother passed, her daughters fought for DAYS over who would get her precious ever-guarded recipe book, finally agreed they would share it, opened it to copy down the recipes and found it had only 1 entry which said "Book I pretend has recipes"

This was the Jar Jar of military parades

More data will come in, but this estimate puts it in the running for the largest single-day protest in U.S. history

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

Please dont put in the newspaper that I got sad

70,000. 70,000!!!

Over 70,000 in Seattle raised their voices Saturday in a public rebuke of Trump’s policies.

I haven’t seen a crowd estimate for the Seattle No Kings protest, but the paper is reporting that the march was 1.5 miles long, so… a lot #nokings www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

I love you Seattle. #abolishice #nokings

Once again, the bus to the protest is like 80% boomer normies

Essential reading (by @jasonstanley.bsky.social) for every American. The media, aided by a handful of reactionary academics and compliant university administrations, has sold the public a huge lie about wokeness on college campuses, enabling the extreme right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Heading to the protest like

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics. Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.

Heyyyyy pacarana

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Sure, disable Face ID on your phone if you want. But all the “get a burner,” “wear dark monochrome so you won’t be identified…” Uh, for a giant mass daytime protest with huge expected turnout, if your threat profile is that you’re a Normie Normerson, I think the best advice is Just Go

Saw Fred Savage at a 70s night in a dance club. We goaded my friend into going up to him and saying “Hey, everyone tells me I look like you!” (which was true)

Guess what they serve at Mike’s Chili Parlor

For so many reasons

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

There is a micro-micro-micro genre of Instagram Reel that is Americans trolling Italians with pasta, and for some reason I can’t get enough

I told you we’d be back
