shuddering to realize that crypto might already be supplanting the archetype of “guy who sucks because his dad owns a car dealership” with a new, even more annoying type of guy

like david I shun misinformation spreaders who claim stephen miller is a vampire pedophile

This isn't mentioned in the piece but there's also a worker safety angle. Many postal service trucks don't have air conditioning these do

Ya no se escriben libros de aventuras como los de antes

Why do the characters in JAWS not simply defeat the shark in the marketplace of ideas?

they say there is no beauty left in this world but i say neigh

I used to think fart noises made with the mouth were so funny. Now I only laugh at the fart noises from a butt

They're insane about the USPS because it's a popular, effective, and obviously cheaper than the market service that most Americans get to interface with regularly. It's the local face of "government can do things." So obviously, the nemesis of a party premised on making you believe it can't.

ope!

I anxiously await similar Star Tribune coverage when Black men commit gun violence

this is such an important point. i do not think that the typical american understands that for most of their lives, someone like james madison or george washington or thomas jefferson was *surrounded* by black people.

Harvard IS really great at resisting "Cellini & his researchers have identified more than 900 people that had been enslaved by university affiliates...& nearly 500 of their direct living descendants. It wasn’t long after the work began to pick up steam that Cellini started running into trouble."

"Given 10 yrs to move to another country" Yeah, we've done that before, it's call the American Colonization Society programs funded + endorsed by elite politicians in both parties in the nineteenth century. the ACS efforts sought to "repatriate" free Black people to parts of Africa, the Caribbean.

Uh yeah, this is an unreal throw from Laureano

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

Happy Sweet Sixteenth, Baby Diego! Here's to two-ish more!

It doesn’t break Republican precedent because Republicans increase spending and the debt and the deficit all the time and shouldn’t have any fiscal credibility at all.

This is the classic Star Trek preview format: Riker is captured by mysterious aliens who plan to dissect him while fully conscious. Meanwhile, Data learns to juggle.

GOP presidents have been causing recessions and starting illegal wars in the Middle East since before I was born. There's a clear pattern but half the country seems to actively ignore it.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

JENA, La. (AP) — Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil has been released from an immigration jail after 104 days in custody.

LA looooves the Lakers, but the Dodgers brand is the beating heart of the city. They need to act like it.

they will not stop at trans children. they want all children unable to refuse or escape their abuse

This is a cursèd image. I love it so.

An example of how a bishop's diagonal movement allows for attacks from unexpected angles

Literally the definition of too little too late

Every day.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...
