OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

The last Leo, Leo XIII, was born in 1810. In 1896 he was persuaded to allow a film camera into the Vatican. He is the oldest (or, the earliest born) human being ever caught on film.

My statement on the Antisemitism Awareness Act ahead of tomorrow's Senate markup:

Morning afternoon or evening Even though there are a lot of troubling issues both globally and in our personal lives, keep swinging never give up, because even as the winds of decay scatter us, we rise again seeds of a stubborn unstoppable revolt.

Great advice

Being from the UK and a member of the late part of Generation X means having to live with the fact that every photo from your childhood resembles a still from a cultishly acclaimed but commercially disappointing folk horror film. ESPECIALLY IF THEY ACTUALLY ARE: tomcox.substack.com/p/some-photo...

When Martha met the Proud Boys, part 1

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution. Our nation was founded on resistance to arbitrary authority and monarchical power. We built a democracy in the face of impossible odds. We must continue to protect it.

Young people hear older people talking about the weather and think it's because they’ve become boring and have nothing else left to talk about. But that’s not it at all. It's because the older people have lived long enough to finally recognise that weather is our one true leader.

I'm not religious, but I believe in the Holy Trinity. (shhh, let me have this)

Y’all want to mess up a #HeritageFoundation survey on #DOGE ? This is the survey a friend showed me, they want people to praise it secured.heritage.org/the-doge-sur... You can submit multiple times hehe

If you like what you've seen from Sen. Cory Booker and other Democratic lawmakers this week, call and email their offices and let them know that. Evidence of public support gives lawmakers more clout with their colleagues to keep doing what they're doing. Constituent encouragement becomes influence.

When I see Cory Booker up there, I think about seniors & disabled & financially disadvantaged folks who can’t stand in line for hours to advocate for themselves. Cory is putting his body on the line to stand up for those who can’t. That’s how Congress is supposed to use the power of the people.

The US constitution is a landmark document with regard to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. For 240 years, we were getting slowly better about who we allowed it to be applied to — who qualified as a “person” to enjoy those rights. We *were* getting better. May we get better again one day. 😢

Come on down to the White House Tesla Auto Mall!

On this International Women's day I just want to say that you should be able to go wherever you want, do whatever you want, wear whatever you want, and say whatever you want to without having to deal with any bullshit from men. Fuck the patriarchy, and fuck all the creepy men who perpetuate it.

I really like that DEI is Latin for “God” and that is literally what all these mf pretend Christians are trying to rip out of this country, in his name. It’s the Perfect Metaphor

“As Musk and his hackers continue to hollow out the government, there is increasing risk the country could approach the stage of collapse where a government is no longer able to provide basic services to its citizens.” My latest for @damemagazine.bsky.social www.damemagazine.com/2025/02/25/h...

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

Wow, go off, *checks byline* DAVID BROOKS?!!

The problem is that the republic fell so quickly — yet the most dangerous impacts weren’t seen by many until way later. In other words, the leopards don’t just suddenly acquire a craving for face meat.

A few weird realizations: 1. If everyone on earth disappeared, the internet would be comprised entirely of bots posting, liking, & upvoting each other. 2. During a nuclear explosion, there is a certain distance where all the frozen pizzas are cooked to perfection. 3. The brain named itself. 😜😜😜
