NBC NEWS: Trump Floats Undocumented Workers Scheme ALL RIGHT YOU GUYS CAN STAY: Trump floats plan for undocumented farm and hotel workers to work legally in the U.S. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

I know too many Steve’s were this is just not true😂😂😂

I guess I'm not terribly surprised to see Rick Steves the travel guide guy doing literal anti-fascism praxis, but it's pretty pleasing regardless

really need to scream into the void but worried about the implicit obligation of emotional labor that might put on the void

It's bad. It's really bad.

A raven has 17 primary wing feathers, the big ones at the end of the wing. They are called pinion feathers. A crow has 16. So, the difference between a crow and a raven is only a matter of a pinion. #joke

Hope it was worth it to stop a few of us from peeing.

Everybody got that one friend who constantly thinks they’re inventing something but it already exists

Fun stuff from Twitch's new TOS re: simulcasting (multistreaming) legal.twitch.com/en/legal/ter... "you may simultaneously live stream or broadcast (“Simulcast”) on any other network, platform, or service that supports live streaming of user generated content, only if:" (more)

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

daily reminder to take your meds, stay hydrated, and keep your OPSEC clean

When one rhetorical device isn’t enough to convey the depths of the societal abnormality the we are experiencing, I give you anaphora, irony, personification, metaphor, parataxis, and aposiopesis.

The sky's the limit -- unless you broadcast in S-band, which can penetrate the atmosphere and ionosphere easily to ring up the natives under some other sky.

the difference between meeting a famous writer and meeting a famous businessperson way too often is that after meeting the writer you leave understanding why they are successful and after meeting the businessperson you leave wondering how they are successful

. I am tired of hearing that Jesus gave up his life for my sins. He rose from the dead three days later. So, actually, Jesus gave up his WEEKEND. Uh... thanks.

You know it's bad when you have to pay in 4 for a #4 combo #brokefintech #paydaydinnerloans

Lately, it feels like we’re in a custody battle for our country.

Mark is beloved by millions of kids, which makes it particularly great that he’s teaching them how to inform their parents that Tesla is a danger to children. This is another one of those “we don’t need a ‘Rogan of the left’, we need normal men” examples.

Protip: If you see someone advocating for violence online, think FCC - Fed, Cop, CI. Especially if they're trying to gas up minorities. #thinkFCC

found a new way to console myself late last night: a little subreddit called r/BuyCanadian has exploded and it’s fucking amazing

sure kindness doesn't cost a thing but neither does spite

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity. Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

Please stand by
