Trump's attacks on the Department of Education should remind us never to elect to high office anyone without a stake in society. We suffered the same in the UK from 2010, when people who used private healthcare and private schools ripped up public services.

Yes this is definitely their new strategy. They are trying to get "Gender Critical" people to bully their colleagues, and then to use their media connections to destroy individual innocent trans people in the press. They're trying to make you afraid. Don't let them

This article is absolutely phenomenal. Read it now.

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

If you work in the American tourism industry be prepared to bring a book to work because the world has no plans on visiting you.

Why can’t this dickfuck get hit in the back of the head by a Titleist from the foursome behind him?

Every day, I wake up and hope he's dead.

If they want to keep shoving women back into the kitchen, I bet we could find about 75000 ways to put your entire meal in gelatin. Nothing says June Cleaver like pot roast and peas in Jello-O.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

We are here This ain’t the f-ing movies Bad guys can win.

The fragility of these men who need to be publicly thanked and praised for doing what is morally right and personally costs them nothing…

Good will prevail. But only if we all stand up to be counted. Fuck evil.

Withdraw the state visit invitation to Trump. Offer one to Zelensky instead. With bells and fucking whistles.

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

One pernicious step after another, Bezos encroached on the Post editorial policy. Today he seized it fully. The old Washington Post is gone. I'll never write for it again as long as he's the owner.

if ya'll think you're full of micro plastics now just wait a decade or two for the shitloads of plastic waste from consumer 3D printers to make its way through the environment. those things are giant plastic waste machines: struts, failed prints, garbage to sell on etsy all ending up in landfill.

I like watching old movies cause people had normal teeth back then. And by old movies I just mean anything filmed before 2014.

🚨🚨If you use kindle, Download your books before Amazon removes the ability next week. That is your money you spent and those are your books. 🚨🚨

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Just so you know, I just tweeted this.

Since the people who hate DEI don’t seem to know what the actual words are, let’s just make calling it IDEA a more common practice and they won’t know the difference (the a is for Access)

I sure am glad that I have to add “before:2022” to every single google search to avoid having to wade through inflated GPT-written articles repeating the same information over and over.

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

i’m so completely uninterested in superhero movies that at this point it feels like a distinct defect in my character. no interest in the self-serious ones, no interest in the jokey lighthearted ones. i tune out as soon as i see a cape or a mask in a trailer. what am i missing

if there is one big lesson I've learned from my layoff that I'd like to pass on it's: save the work you're proud of to your personal device. do it in the moment. because you're not gonna be able to go back and get that stuff when they remotely wipe your laptop

It’s really not surprising that ads are getting worse. Ad firm used to hire creatives who were actually writers and musicians and artists but that’s no longer true. Now they hire people who majored in advertising and marketing.

I can’t look at funkopops without seeing a wasteful display of commodified greed. They are soulless idols of corporate idolization. The antithesis of art. fuck those guys

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment. I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face. And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

When did people stop saying “spill the beans” and switch to “spill the tea” Beans or fuck off.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Excited to explain to the next generation how Damar Hamlin never won Comeback Player of the Year

Sometimes I'll just make thumbnail graphics for YouTube videos that don't exist.

“I told you if you hold on to clothes long enough they come back in fashion” From the new Private Eye, out now.

One thing all this shit has done is expose Silicon Valley as utterly infested with ahistorical tech bro glibertarian dumb fucks who have never interacted with real human beings in their lives.
