@michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @yrfatfriend.bsky.social, the biohacking MP episode (so great! as always!) made me think of a Jonathan Coulton song, which I realized only today is/was ABSOLUTELY ABOUT BIOHACKING and also unrealistic fantasies of the results. on.soundcloud.com/2ZHJNHbEa8De...

I’m not at all convinced that we didn’t start the fire.

"I wasn’t looking to be loved or even liked." MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

i love seeing a million posts like "it's funny that he is suffering" and not only do we all know who he is but we all want the same thing. like who's the pronoun now dipshit

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.

if the trump team believed in DEI they would have had one stringer bell telling them to stop taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy youtu.be/pBdGOrcUEg8

I regret that I had but one subscription to cancel.

@johnmoe.bsky.social Upgraded my MaxFun membership -- SWC is brilliant and has my support! Would love a nickname.

ME: Oh, right, John Oliver was off this week. MAX: Watch Bill Maher! It's the exact same thing! ME: No, it absolutely is no- MAX: SAME THING SAME THING SAME THING!

Compare the first sentences in these stories about GroupChatghazi in WSJ, NYT, WaPo and The Guardian. The one that’s blunt about how big a deal this is, and which shows how harshly Dems condemned it, is from the UK paper. Dems do a lot wrong on their own, yes. But DC press? Tepid enablers.

I can’t compete with this

"My cars are wildly unpopular right now! What is the one spokesperson I could pick to make them look even less cool?"

The Hegseth-led targeting of "DEI" in the military is perhaps the dumbest, sloppiest element of Trumpian politics and we should mock it relentlessly. Gift link: wapo.st/4kUWWmH

one other notable thing about Chuck Schumer being told by a Republican Senator that he intended to destroy the federal government if there was a shutdown is that he considers it important to protect this Senator's confidence when given ample opportunity to fuck him over

No one could have predicted that this would happen. www.thebulwark.com/p/maga-broca...

It can't be all doom and gloom There is still some good in this world And it's worth fighting for.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

“physically” doing a whole lot of heavy lifting here

[if Chuck Schumer replaced Liam Neeson in Taken] CHUCK SCHUMER: [on phone] I don’t know who you are or what you want, but I will find you and I will help you kill my daughter

I'm convinced! I will never go to a dealership or have anything to do with a Tesla! Ever!

I wasn’t gonna buy this book, but Ryan Daniels, public affairs manager of strategic response at Meta, just convinced me it’s a banger that needs to be sent to #1. Thanks for the recommendation, Ryan!

it’s only cloture if it comes from the Clôture region, otherwise it’s just sparkling capitulation

The Democrats face the only decisions because—in headlines—only the Democrats have agency in the federal government, even when they have no majorities and hold virtually no formal power.

One can only assume it was used briefly as a boat. www.vcstar.com/story/news/l...

Pokemon Go sale to a Saudi Arabian company owned by govt comes with six separate corporate announcement blogs, not one of them directly addressing what happens to 100 million people's location data, AR mapping capabilities, or the AI maps they have been training: www.404media.co/saudi-arabia...

"we saw you from across the bar and really liked your vibe, can we buy you a drink?"

So this was a campaign promise not an observation.

“your not even allowed to do that”

the sound of all my English professors crying out at once

This has been the bitterest of pills to swallow; that we're all being ground under the heels of the biggest dorkmunders to ever walk the earth

For all you "Not Yet A Constitutional Crisis" people: The kid at Columbia with a green card currently in secret ICE detention for thoughtcrime is a four alarm fire.

liberals must take ownership of everything the craziest leftist poster wrote on reddit ten years ago, but conservatives have no idea what the government they elected is doing and it's terrorism to inform them

My fear is that the Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil to make an example out of him because they’re gambling Dems won’t put their jobs and lives on the line to protect a Palestinian.

The ADL celebrates the Trump admin orchestrating the disappearance of a permanent resident and his transportation across state lines as retaliation for his politics

Armed government agents went to the home of a lawful resident of the United States without a warrant and arrested him over the content of his speech. This is a five-alarm fire for civil liberties.

Pretty sure we shouldn’t restore ALL the values of Thomas Jefferson.

My advice to disaffected young men is to get a squire p bass and join a band and your whole women only date rich guys reactionary politics vibe will seem pretty silly when a lady breaks up with her real estate boyfriend to date your broke ass

I can't believe Big Balls, the Douche and Tommy Tuna could make a mistake like this, given their combined year of work experience.

Today's jobs report was much weaker than expected. Here's why that's bad news for Joe Biden.

PRICES SLASHED. I am in urgent need of money, so I've cut prices on all original art and prints on my shop. I also put back up a bunch of stuff that I'd taken down, and I'm going to be putting more up! Please take a look! michaelkupperman.com/shop

Trump: I’m going to kill your loved ones. Democrats: [wave placard] Trump: Especially the black ones. And the gay ones Democrats: [strenuously wave placards]

Just so we're clear was it not a crisis when it was the other way around?
