Figured I'd make a little thread with things people may not know about the cruelty of U.S. jails and prisons. 1. In California, guards force detainees into "gladiator fights" for their own amusement. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

@theathletic.bsky.social Dude, Your EIC was accidentally included in a very illegal group chat about an ongoing military operation The Trump Admin is disappearing people to an El Salvadoran gulag They are wrecking the entire global economy What are your priorities here?

If I were an editor at a prestigious national publication I would simply ask writers to define what they mean by words like "forced" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The lesson: this is what bipartisanship with fascists gets you. Fascist do not care about bipartisanship. If you pursue it with them, they will make a fool of you. There is only defiance and opposition. That’s all any decent people want from their leaders anyway. Those who won’t can gtfo.

just cannot emphasize enough here that the whole "actually inhaled steroids cure measles" illustrates how none of the antivax stuff is actually about big pharma, it's about virtue signaling to other narcissists about how much cleverer than doctors they are

TIL that huge amounts of space junk have clouded the entirety of the night sky making astronomy as well as radio communication much harder, and it's almost entirely space-x starlink satellites. Like, 10 to 1 all space junk is elon's fucking fault. everything he touches turns to shit, I hate it

I have a joke about Chronos if you've got the time.

This Passover I’m thinking hard about the holiday’s history of resistance to tyrannical leaders, and the imperative for Jewish people to stand with all oppressed peoples of the world.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Homeless workers now have to submit *proof of employment* to be allowed to sleep in their cars in one of the richest counties in the U.S. Welcome to America: people shivering overnight in subzero temperatures, steps from luxury ski resorts, for the privilege of keeping the local economy booming.

Stop pretending “pro-natalist” is a valid term and not just some pseudo-intellectual wank phrase invented to give cover to a bunch of soft-palmed rich freaks breeding a rampart of white babies to protect them from reality.

I love Aaron's nightly parenting haikus

On April 10, 1925, a young writer published his 3rd novel – a commercial & critical disappointment about a man passing for white 100 years later, Pulitzer Prize-winner Wesley Lowery reveals the secret hidden inside a piece of America's literary canon... And how "The Great Gatsby" became white

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

I’m still blinkered that “an exclusive secret society, co-founded by Peter Thiel” is a fact that’s just out there in the world and no national news outlet has put together a Manhattan Project to get to the bottom of it.

I have a joke about the sirens -- it is *irresistible*.

This is just life now. Oh you donated food to Nice Charity We Help Poor People Eat? Turns out they're anti-choice. Your toothpaste hates LGBT people. The car you bought ten years ago to save the environment is bringing about the fall of democracy. Eat Arby's. Maybe. Unless they did something too.

It's amazing that 4 congressional Dems voted to make it *illegal for married women to vote*, and the rest of the Dems didn't respond "ok yeah you are not allowed to call yourself a Democrat anymore, we're not going to help fundraise for you, just go fuck yourself"
