This is so spot-on www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

Your regular reminder that the entire global economy is subject to the whipsaw whims of a person who doesn’t understand how the global economy works

It's great being led by an ignorant, petty, delusional racist with malice in his heart and an all-consuming fragile ego.

RFK Jr. is such a weird fit in the constellation of the Trump administration. He's right about a lot of this: kids have poor diets, don't get exercise, are exposed to toxins, etc. But the report is blind to how the administration is making these things worse. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

California is only the start of the other shoe dropping. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Got my garden planted with 5 kinds of chiles and one sweet pepper plant and I'm having to cover them all because overnight lows this week are in the 40s. Not an ideal start for them. 🌱

Sounds like the South Africa president has a really fun day in store for himself www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

Stanislav Petrov, the man who saved the world, died on this day in 2017. If you don’t know the story, just read this www.theguardian.com/world/2017/s...

I did not realize this weekend's festival was No. 25. What a Detroit treasure. See you there. www.freep.com/story/entert...

Despite the widespread and often employer-encouraged adoption of AI tools, a new study finds that artificial intelligence chatbots "have had no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation."

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

My son's high school prom is tonight - a Thursday. He has a big exam scheduled tomorrow. I guess my big question for the folks who scheduled this is, WTF?

I'd forgotten about this incredible song. It wouldn't shock me if it was the inspiration for the entire concept of Severance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc-V...

Watched the S2 finale of Severance last night and boy it is bonkers

Bring back the 1983 HBO Feature Presentation intro

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. Maybe I’m a radical leftist, but I'd rather have my taxes fund NPR and PBS than a military parade for a fucktard draft dodger.

Just finished season 2 of Ted Lasso and it dawns on me that the best shows are the ones that get better the longer they go.
