Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

The Monkey is the funniest movie I've seen in ages

yes i’m a nerd bc the Apple C1 modem takes up less space on the logic board and supposedly is more power efficient and also just newsworthy!!

Elon is hiring criminals to work for DOGE because it is a criminal conspiracy

Every. year.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Repealing Section 230 with an autocrat in power will not hold tech accountable, it will suppress speech and force platforms to silence users who say things the regime doesn’t like.

Decades of sacrifice and work by generations of men and women across the globe up in smoke. Truly tragic. Tens of millions of American voters squandered the legacy of their parents and grandparents for the thrill of racism and “owning the libs.”

“It should tell the US to take a hike.” Voila.

This week on the @engadget.bsky.social Podcast, @cherlynn.bsky.social and I dive into the iPhone 16e www.engadget.com/ai/engadget-... Is a $599 iPhone really a cheap iPhone? Honestly, I'm sad we'll never see another sub-$500 iPhone

ICYMI: I chatted with the pres of @gkids.com about: ➼ the challenges of licensing Japanese films ➼ how that Toho deal will affect their strategy ➼ the competition for films like FLOW and MEMOIR OF A SNAIL read it ➼ www.vulture.com/article/gkid...

“Trump has destroyed these programs either because he & the people around him genuinely believe the conspiracy theories, or because the Republican Party has so convinced its base of this narrative that it must now follow through in destroying the government’s capacity to combat foreign interference”

Oh, this is very sad! People will have one more chance to see Stewart--as her warm and funny self--in the upcoming HBO documentary Pee-wee as Himself (don't miss it). RIP to a truly sweet presence.

Hey: If you made it through the week, and you tried to do some things to help other people — large or small — where you could, and you need to hear it, I’m here to tell you thank you. Get some rest. Figure out today, then figure out tomorrow.

Every time you share a screenshot without a link to the video or article, you are hurting a worker. Full stop.

who could’ve predicted that confirming a white nationalist, christian extremist, drunk, sexual predator, tv host to lead our country’s armed forces would end in ruin

maybe the amazon "bond" acquisition is good, like what if we get a stand-alone 007 starring jason statham called "the shaken and the stirred" where he just kicks nerds in the face for an hour and a half

Fitness influencers have been talking about this on TikTok a good bit lately. We can see it in initial Wolverine versus later Wolverine

A couple of legal Ls for Trump tonight. -DOGE cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. -Judge blocks Trump’s executive order ending federal support for DEI programs. Weird to have a Friday night news dump as positive news.

Governor Mills of Maine has more courage than every single GOP politician in USA. More of this please, Trump is a f’n coward, stand up to him. Stand up for USA. F*ck MAGA.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Irresponsible Assholes Like Irresponsible Asshole

"The opposition is the majority."

“I just wanna say trans people are beautiful. We are never going to stop existing. I’m never gonna stop being trans, a letter on a passport can’t change that, and fuck this administration.”

2 fucking headlines right next to each other

Another hyper-educational longform piece from Nandini Balial:

history is wild, for eg. if Pythagoras hadn't successfully taken credit for a theorem he had nothing to do with, he'd be remembered as a skeevy af cult leader who claimed he could speak to animals, time travel, killed an asp with a venomous bite and insisted that fava beans are literally evil

So stupid - this obsession with RTO is ridiculous

I remember watching this 2+2=5 animated music video a million years ago, and yeah, Seems Relevant youtu.be/TOeL6PYrU8M?...

elon musk at cpac was so fucking weird you guys I know this reads like a parody but I literally just wrote down what happened www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

Democrats, and all allies who support maintenance of rule of law and constitutional order, need to be thinking about town halls as pressure points. www.ajc.com/politics/mcc... o

Really good piece. Other Democrats in power need to look at what AOC is doing right now and follow her example. One of the worst and most frightening aspects of this moment is seeing how many Dems in leadership roles seem resigned to defeat.

The right wing woman is not insincere in her politics, but she *is* tactical: she believes that sexual and reproductive service to right wing men will earn her their protection, affection, and material support. She is wrong.

In case you’re wondering what the TikTok kids have been up to

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

LEAVE YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, IT CAN BE ANONYMOUS

Definitely a potential Surf Dracula situation, except where you’ve already seen a bunch of Surf Dracula movies.

spent some time today marveling that three seasons of Hannibal aired on prime time on NBC, still can't believe it tbh (complimentary if that wasn't clear)
