Pedro Pascal is such a true mensch.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

The Boston Celtics are contenders once again.

Become ungovernable

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world just lost $1.4 billion (with a B) to a hack. This is 5x as much as the previous largest exchange hack in history.

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

Love my governor. “See you in court.”

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Where is the money coming from to fund this fraud?

EXCLUSIVE: I spoke with Michael Carter-Williams about his efforts to bring a WNBA team to Boston. His group is open to purchasing an existing team, like the Connecticut Sun. "No matter what road we need to travel to get there, that’s what we want to do.” www.sbnation.com/wnba/2025/2/...

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

I watched Hannity's interview with Musk and Donald Trump so that you didn't have to. It was, as George W. Bush might have said, some weird shit www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

This is awesome.

He could give away a couple billion dollars a year till he’s dead and still not give it all away. Fucking doge bag.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Benita works in the grapevines near Lemoore CA. This type of vine creates a canopy of sorts as the branches need to be tied and strong to support the weight of the expected grapes. She earns minimum wage for her work. This is how she supports her family. #WeFeedYou

This is the future of all our lives. These fuckwits think it’s the answer to everything.

Script kiddies without adult supervision.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

It’s probably too much tbh.

U.S. forces land on Greenland's coast, spearheaded by units of Cybertanks. they make it three quarters of a mile before the cold weather drains their batteries. crews find themselves trapped inside when the fully electronic doors default to locked. most of the 70th Armored regiment starves to death

Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

insane

We just got to stop being nice to people so we can come together.

As much as I enjoy the jokes we are definitely not going to just post our way out of this.

Get ready for Ted Nugent and Kid Rock next year. They aren’t gonna put up with more DEI halftime bullshit.

Sad.

I laughed. But probably true.

Ahead of Kendrick’s performance today, here’s a look back at the greatest halftime show ever, including the political, cultural & social messages Prince sent through his choice of songs and the story he was telling about Black music, ownership and creative control. www.anildash.com//2021/02/05/...

One of the best articles I’ve read about the age we are entering. And it touches on something that we need to discuss more: in authoritarianism it is *logical* to cede power to those in power. Or rather, it is seemingly logical. Ultimately, even after you give in, they’ll come for you.

#breaking Chiefs get a shitty call.

great thread on how SSNs and the system that manages them are properly complicated. The big dipshit and his teen action force don't have the skills to even evaluate whats going on.

People used to make so much fun of me when I pointed out that the dirtbag "left" had constructed a neat pipeline to the far right, because WHY would they do that? And the simple answer has always been, money. Just look at the Red Scare hosts becoming besties with Peter Thiel.

The Silicon Valley billionaires & techno-feudal lords who are waging a capitalists' coup right now are rebelling against the people & the "free market" for rejecting them & the tech they need us to become dependent on. They're taking over the government to ensure we have no more choice in the matter

Update on my life: Last year, I joined my kids' school's PTA, because they needed a treasurer and I'm good enough with numbers. It was a straightforward, self-contained job: balancing the checkbook for an organization that only did a few fundraisers each year.
