There are few foods more magnificent than potatoes, maize, and tomatoes. Thank you Indigenous folks for inventing them.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Don't forget to stretch your hands and wrists fellow artists/gamers!

Hope it was worth it to stop a few of us from peeing.

A true heater 48 hours for The Onion, in my unbiased opinion.

Republicans hate penguins almost as much as they hate non-white people. Pretty simple, actually.

In September 2021, Texas banned nearly all abortions. A JAMA Pediatrics study found that, between 2021 and 2022, infant deaths in Texas surged 12.9%, compared with a much smaller increase in the rest of the US of 1.8%. Infant mortality rates rose 8.3%. www.cnn.com/2024/06/24/h...

Why does this even need to be said? Because fascism is alive and well.

Really bugs me that all the Leafs fans online are like "we're playing clean, saintly hockey and the Sens should all be in prison for assault," and I'm sitting here watching them do *just* as much highsticking, tripping, etc. as the Sens, and the officials refusing to call *either* team on it.

WATCH: "I think we are in a moment where Jesus is a victim of identity theft. I don't know what Bible folks are reading—attacking the poor in the name of the faith," says Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock.

Had a similar conversation with my dad the other day. "Dad, you can't have a conversation without it eventually turning to either water/wastewater treatment or grilling meat. Those are basically the only things you talk about. You're either ADHD or autistic yourself, you just got lucky."

RFK Jr. is a perfect example of how some people talk about eugenics and race replacement theory without actually using those words. Every word out of the man's mouth is a white supremacist, eugenicist dogwhistle, but he hides it in green and alternative medicine language that hippies like.

This is so real lmaoooo "She booked a solo trip to Iceland while you were composing your <<good morning>> text" 😂😂

And by the way, since I've seen a few people out here with it as a profile pic (I had no idea it had breached containment from tumblr !), I'm the one who made this star trek picrew picrew.me/en/image_mak...

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Soft calls against a soft team. #Sens need to adjust because apparently Playoff hockey is not reffed as such. Penalty on Ridley was legit for 2 min but the other two were bullshit

This is, weirdly, the most purely fascist shit anyone in the administration has said so far - Your health is an asset of the fatherland - Illness is a failure or a moral failing - You have a duty to maintain your health - Healthcare is not a right, it's a finite resource - Die for the fatherland

The GOP actively does not believe that everyone has or should have rights. They do not believe that poor people, non-white people, non-male people, or non-Christian people should have the same rights or privileges as they do. THAT is a core, fundamental belief system of the conservative.

“Department of Government Efficiency.”

This is how to opt out on Instagram. Still considering my choices and if it's worth to keep it around...

Here’s “Basket Case” except it’s about why you shouldn’t use Face ID or a thumbprint to unlock your phone

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

The grift is so blatant when it comes to what Trump and Musk are doing to the IRS. I guarantee that next month, after people don't get refunds because there weren't enough IRS employees to process the claims, they'll be like "welp, I guess the IRS doesn't work, time to privatize tax collection."

More #LowerDecks wheeeeeeennnn???? I need this to be an episode, stat.

Throughout all of this not one person will give a televised interview to the trans woman who has been cast as the antagonist here for no fucking reason. I want to see her call this shit out live on television for what this is: a transparent grift.

Did you know that despite the image of the cowboy as the embodiment of "rugged individualism" there was a Cowboy Strike in 1883? It managed to inspire a period of worker militancy amongst the cowboys between 1884-86.

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

Just checked something, and what. Not only does Apple charge Patrons EXTRA, but transactions take 75 days after purchase to become available for withdrawal? Anyway, support creators through web browser, NOT app. Jesus.
