Chappell Roan stuns for new single, “The Giver.”

he thinks you can terminate a federal employee with one of those asinine "we're updating our user agreement" emails

For the last 2 years, for WIRED, I've been on the trail of the Zizians, gifted young people who set out to save the world and ended up enveloped in violence and death. You may have seen headlines about them. This is their story, based on years of reporting in real time: www.wired.com/story/deliri...

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

Keanu Reeves gives an update on #Constantine2 • Pitched a story to DC recently and they approved • Script is now being written • They've been trying to get a sequel made for over a decade • Will take place in the 'same world' as the OG film (via Inverse)

If you design a tv to be hung on a wall, can you put the hdmi, etc sockets near the outer edge rather than the middle of the back please!?

Then why aren't they drone striking Elon? He's the biggest terrorist of them all who will be directly responsible for the deaths of millions by destroying USAID.

this JK I can get behind 😉

Trump take egg, Trump crash plane, Trump make hockey team lose.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Trump just fired the country's senior military officer: Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., a four-star fighter pilot who became only the second African American to hold the chairman's job.

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

There are many mysteries and ambiguities in life but the nature of this gesture is not among them. It's a Nazi salute.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

I also can't help feeling that this is how it's gonna go if you try to tell people the anti-trans laws (yes everyone will consider them laws even just as EOs) are incorrect

hell yeah it is

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution.

gonna start speaking like a sovereign citizen if they ever try to use the law to do gender at me

What kills me is how fucking QUICKLY “never again” turned to “let’s have another go”. A single human lifetime is all it fucking took. That is just… I dunno… it’s the kind of thing that makes it difficult and painful to hold onto my faith in us.

Have you watched this excellent intro to #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MECFS #PEM by @scishow.bsky.social ? It's only 8 minutes long & jam-packed with important info (including helping folks with #LongCovid that matches mild #ME identify #PEM & prevent harm 🙏🏻) www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxSw...

Ahem

Trump just deputized unelected billionaire Elon Musk's private bodyguards, giving them rights and protections reserved for federal law enforcement. Are people still afraid to say the word "coup?" www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

Obviously this is bad and very stupid, but the tenor of this kind of Trump communique is very funny to me. It's a real HOA energy, just someone being annoying and small who knows they're being that way, and who more or less sees that as both their highest personal calling and the purpose of the job.
