I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

please we are so tired we cannot do all the things ourselves I want really important stuff that might kill me to be in the hands of people who studied that shit their whole life so that mastering the complexities of every aspect of human existence at once is not suddenly all on me, a theatre major

The funniest possible outcome to this would be an addled, paranoid Elon feeling threatened by the prospect of Trump wealth surpassing his own and hiring idiots to Do Something About It.

Making stir-fried rice is a fun and easy way to spend a lot of time prepping, cooking and doing dishes for a meal that costs about the same as it would at a restaurant and sort of reminds you of what it would taste like there.

it's amazing to see how all the things that have been so troubling for so long -- police violence and overreach; pruning away of civil liberties in service of "safety"; income inequality and the generation of the rich; racism; transphobia; food and general social insecurity -- have all come together

Finally watched the ABC Trump interview and am extremely disturbed by the "lmao Trump has dementia he thinks the MS-13 tattoo photoshop is real" takes I'm seeing That moment was very clearly Trump threatening to ruin that interviewer's career if he didn't admit that 2+2=5 on national television

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

This passage from @benjamincarterhett.bsky.social's book on Hitler's rise to power has long haunted me for the way it describes how so many ordinary Germans had their minds & souls gradually rewired by the changing political climate of the 1930s. Watching something similar happen here is terrifying.

A 4/20 Easter miracle! I encountered a post that had been reskeeted 3 times and had a like count of 19. I had the honor of nudging each of those numbers up by one. I am not a golfer, but I bet this is what it feels like to get a hole-in-one.

I’ll spiral, thinking about my financial outlook, the state of my profession, this country’s descent into fascist madness … but then I think: Nico Harrison will never dine out in Dallas again without wondering if someone pissed in his salad, and I feel a little lighter. I can breathe again.

It’s comforting to know no matter how badly I fuck up my career and my life, nothing I do will even approach the colossal failure and consequential public outrage of Nico Harrison’s Mavs GM handiwork. Makes me feel a tad better to know how universally hated and mocked he is.

The Trump admin is not cracking down on antisemitism. Whoever wrote that sentence should be ashamed of themselves. If a serial killer says he's ridding the world of demons, would that be the framing NPR uses to describe his killing spree? That's he's making an effort to rid the world of demons?

It would be sickeningly on the nose for America’s oligarchs to tolerate ICE kidnappings and concentration camps, DOGE stripping federal agencies for parts and data, RFK eugenics, etc. but find their breaking point when Trump starts doing things that make line go down.

One thing I miss from twitter is the draft folder. It was nice having some weird ones that would make me and me alone laugh and some cathartic ones that would make my File get bigger on deck, ready to post the moment I have nothing left to lose.

Any reasonable owner fires Nico Harrison tonight. I mean, any reasonable owner fires him when he brings up that he's trading Luka Doncic. But he should be fired right now. The team is literally not going to come back from this. Almost every Mavs fan I know is now a Lakers fan.

I’m seeing a lot of posts about how certain immigrants sent to El Salvador are not actually criminals and this is true but I would also like to remind you that people with criminal records shouldn’t be subjected to this, either.

“I spoke to a lot of leaders” is the kind of obvious bullshit a reporter could have disproven with open records requests in the old days, when legacy media used to be competent and interested in doing that kind of work, when it would have mattered.

Maybe if they get a sharp, funny conservative comedian to … well, shit, this plan’s already falling apart. But imagine if the headliner insulted a left-leaning celebrity and pissed them off so much they ran for president in 2028, picking up angry disenchanted voters to pull off a historic win.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.
