The eagle looks fucking embarrassed.

those nuns were right about her

12 to 15 hours?!?!?

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

hard to believe an elon musk product fell apart and exploded at the finish line

Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

To note one of the many knock-on effects this remarkable speech could have: So much of Booker's speech is, in content and form, a challenge about how much Democrats are willing to put themselves on the line. And the timing, 4 days before a Saturday of planned national protests, couldn't be better.

if there's one thing Evangelical Christians know it's that having the state execute a beloved dissident always stops that dissident's message from spreading so yeah seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione seems smart

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

referring to pete hegseth as whiskeyleaks is one of the funniest things i’ve seen in a while. good job, guys.

my takeaway from reading this is that i have to assume that every half-competent intelligence agency in the world has an almost real-time glimpse into what the white house and the pentagon are doing

People are thinking of the AI boom as TERMINATOR when it’s THE BIG SHORT.

Incredible product placement for Signal

What if Goldberg continued to lurk in the group chat until someone noticed, taking screenshots and documenting the incompetency for months? Ethical? Legal??

Always look to see what the tech bros want for their own kids: small class sizes with human teachers, human tutors with expert content knowledge, cell phone restrictions in classrooms, high per pupil spending, the arts and humanities--and much more they say is too costly for public schools.

Nevermind.

Y'all. If you need a pick-me-up, may I recommend typing "TSLA stock" into your nearest web browser? It's... so beautiful.

Went to "X" for some schadenfreude over the plunge in Tesla stock and it seems X is doing about as well as Tesla and SpaceX. Masterful gambit, sir.

Oh so Twitter is like DOWN down now.

I know what you’re thinking: We should mirror the United States government based on how this website is run.

I honestly think almost nobody needs to care about opening weekend box office except industry analysts and people with a financial stake. In the long run, finances affect what you see — obviously yes. But do you, a civilian and movie lover, need to care about this stuff? I don’t think so.

Todd Phillips, of all people, was right about this. Unless you are a Warner Bros Discovery shareholder, whether or not Mickey 17 or Joker 2 or anything else recoups its budget is not relevant to you!

X engineers clocking in this morning

Because we have broken tax laws, the private equity firm can now profitably destroy this business, leaving everyone worse off except them.

A simple post-Oscar reminder, because a few of you clearly could use it: Artists owe you nothing but the work they do.

Skiers and townspeople in Vermont so relentless heckled JD Vance that he had to relocate www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2HvAgXC/ ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

If you're keeping track, four of the ten Best Picture nominees now have an Oscar, and five of the remaining six have at least a reasonable shot at winning one.

Its the eulogy for the franchise

I'm a broken record on this, but in the push to broaden Academy membership over the last decade, it isn't racial diversification or gender parity that has had the greatest effect on what wins. It's internationalization.

Among Oscar hosts, Conan is, weirdly, closest in tone to Bob Hope--genial, evenhandedly deprecating and SELF-deprecating, vaguely alienated by almost all the movies.

Been suffering through all these mid-ass hosts when he’s been right there all along

of all the things you wish you could go back and tell your younger self, "you will be overcome with gratitude for the presence of Adam Sandler at the Oscars" is by far the most heartening

He got bleeped for eight seconds?? Truly all he did was start trying to call Jeremy strong “fucking amazing” before stopping himself

oh cool I’ve been meaning to learn anxiety

Trump orders White House to be renamed Don’s Mojo Dojo Casa House

I usually don’t say this kind of thing because it’s glib but if you want to understand yourself go the fuck to therapy

This is how you do it...

New block: Doomers. We're all using social media in whatever way works for us, but I can't spend the next 4 years scrolling through endless trauma dumping. I'm not talking about people reporting developments or how it all affects them. It's the "I'm freaking out, it's all ending" shit I can't abide

I’m saying this here, in part, so I can hold myself accountable to following my own advice. Don’t forget—especially in times like these—that the internet is a panic / dread inducing drug. Go for a walk. Read. Do something, literally anything. Times are precarious. Live, act and love accordingly.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.
