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

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

Dollars to donuts, no one on that stage knows is capable of starting or using a chainsaw.

Dude, I heard you were dead

This is going to kill or disable a lot of kids.

Straight 🔥🔥🔥from @devorahblachor.bsky.social in @mcsweeneys.net

"To the conservatives who might underestimate me—you have no idea what I’m capable of fitting into a slideshow about the value of norms."

1. Google Gulf of Mexico. 2. Click on the three little dots to the right of “Gulf of America”. 3. Select "Send Feedback" 4. Click on "Gulf Of America" text. 5. Select "Inaccurate content". 6. Select "Incorrect" and type in : "The correct name of this body of water is “Gulf of Mexico".

From this day forward, it shall be known as Lake MoPac

It's Mapquest's moment for a big comeback

So Google Maps changed Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America 🙄. Bombard them with feedback…

Fun fact: You can go to the App Store right now and give Google Maps one star. apps.apple.com/us/app/googl...

Fantastic. And "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is an absolute banger.

I love this

😭😭😭 For too long, our authoritarianism has been “creeping.” Our oligarchy: “quasi.” Our Nazis: “neo.”

"At least 100 Texas children aged 17 and younger got abortions in other states during the first year after Texas banned the procedure, including six aged 11 and under, according to the latest state data available." www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

"School Choice" in Texas is a deeply cynical, tax dollar wasting piece of dogshit Please educate yourselves and pass the facts along on SB2:

If only we could nationalize the federal government

If you are a special educator who will be affected by President Trump's executive order on the Department of Education, I'd love to speak to you via Signal. My Signal number is 909-957-6133. I'll protect your identity. #SpecialEducation

Sydney Kamlager-Dove: "It's total corruption... to try to take control of our govt, to have access to our social security numbers, our medical benefits, all of the information we use when we're trying to get a motherfuckin' tax return. And you're gonna take our money? Homie don't play that."

I keep thinking about this @mcsweeneys.net piece by @amandalehr.bsky.social

super bowl ad not even kidding about this, do a super bowl ad about how Elon has your social security number and can shut off your grandma's check at any time

I’ve been trying to write about my beautiful, complicated mother for ten years now. Grateful to @pastten.bsky.social for giving me an opportunity to dip into the complexity of our relationship. www.past-ten.com/single-post/...

The news keeps saying "accept" and "house" deportees and that's an unconscionable to deceptive way to say: El Salvador wants the US to pay them & ship them criminalized American citizens & non-citizens alike to work and die as slaves in El Salvadoran prisons, which Trump & Rubio want to make happen

It's getting harder and harder to write satire, but I'm in @mcsweeneys.net today doing my best.

I wish this @mcsweeneys.net piece by @kathrynbaecht.bsky.social didn’t ring so true, but damn. #Democrats need to get it together while there’s still time (if there’s still time).
