“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

So much free speech.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

Everything sucks.

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions: A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans. I would like to amend my prior statement. Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

It's been true every day, but today is especially a day that the "Kamala would have been no better than Trump" crowd can really go fuck themselves.

To the people who think racist authoritarians should be posting more on Bluesky: What the actual fuck is wrong with you, fuck off with that mealy-mouth "both sides" bullshit, thank you for your attention, now go fuck yourselves

They’re using the hostages to try and justify their anti-democratic movement. Not in our name

Because I didn't think helping Trump win the election by not voting would end the genocide. But I guess I was proven wrong because the situation in Gaza is so much better now, isn't it?

If you haven't yet worked out that you're getting instablocked if you write sort of smarmy-ass, early-days-of-twitter reply, you are 10 years behind the curve.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Circular firing squads, the left's solution to everything.

An energy drink, a banana, and a day old bagel, the breakfast of fucking champions.

It's a bag with different things in it.

The fools have blundered into my trap. They can't put me in the gulag if I'm dead.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

I have, once again, written about The Horrors www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

My thanks to @unclegrambo.bsky.social for asking me to write about Val Kilmer for @deciderdotcom.bsky.social: decider.com/2025/04/06/v...

Don't be a dick, TypeScript. Or at least offer suggestions in your error messages like Rust does.

You get repetitive strain injury, and you get repetitive strain injury, EVERYBODY gets repetitive strain injury.

Wow, Rick Steves just gave a BARNBURNER of a speech at his small hometown's Hands Off Rally. recorder.google.com/0e070222-930...
