HUGE: The Supreme Court sides with Richard Glossip, holding that prosecutors violated his constitutional rights by failing to correct false testimony at his trial. It directs the Oklahoma courts to vacate his conviction! www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Breaking News: The Supreme Court granted a new trial to a death row inmate in Oklahoma, ruling that prosecutors had failed to correct false testimony.

It hasn't even been a month. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

You are here.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Drake is the all-time biggest loser of a rap feud and that includes people who have gotten shot and died as a result of rap feuds

an amazing concoction of ironclad confidence and piss-your-own-shoe inaccuracy

For context, this is the same $1.3 billion dollar deal they announced back in December during the Biden presidency. Trump set fire to the US' relationship with both Canada and Mexico in return for literally nothing at all.

I live on 6th Ave NW (north of 85th) and I would LOVE this!

Very audible booing of the US national anthem at the Ottawa Senators arena tonight, ahead of their game with Minnesota

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

How can any of us feel anything other than intensely ashamed to be associated with this? Just incredible cruelty and indifference. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/w...

The campaign against trans rights is also about stripping away everyone’s protections against discrimination, reviving, as Douglass put it “the moral blindness” of those who “persuade themselves that they are safe, though the rights of others may be struck down.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Pretty horrifying.

The Republicans and Democrats in Congress who voted for the Laken Riley Act, and endorsed its notions of detention and deportation without the rudiments of due process, facilitated today’s announcement of Trump concentration camps. They’d be wise not to go a single step further down that road.

I have this political opinion that trans people should be left the fuck alone, and unfortunately it is a lot less common than it should be

NFL highlights set to the No. 1 song the day they were born: Saquon Barkley - Unbreak My Heart

Fun day of birding at the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge outside Olympia, WA. In addition to these four we saw bald eagles, great blue heron, buffleheads, surf scoters, 2 or 3 different species of geese, cormorants, plus seals and a deer!

If you're in the midst of a shitty day - and who amongst us will not be existing within one of those for the next four years? - my prescription is to watch something that never fails to make me smile: They Might Be Giants and the Onion A.V. Club Choir covering "Tubthumping."

“With literally minutes left in his presidency, Joe Biden on Monday granted clemency to Leonard Peltier, the ailing Native American rights activist whom the U.S. government put in prison nearly 50 years ago after a trial riddled with misconduct and lies.” www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-bi...

Teach a man to fish and he’ll eventually claim he just always had that knowledge innately and then try to explain to you how fishing works

HI AMERICA, YEAH, NO. LOVE, CANADA

A List of Predictions Made in 1925 About 2025 🧵

Prince is clearly happy to have us back home.🥰

Mouth Heaven gained another angel tonight! #PopTartsBowl

It’s scary to think that if anything happens to Elon Musk, JD Vance would become president.

UPDATE: Joseph Corcoran has been killed by the state of Indiana. A reporter from the Indiana Capital Chronicle, Casey Smith, was allowed to witness the execution, after Corcoran added her to his witness list. From what the editor-in-chief says here, the execution took around 40 minutes.

Me: Dr. Salk your vaccine will save so many children! Salk: Well thank God Me: Of course they will grow up Salk: Well I hope so Me: And get old Salk: I guess? Me: And eventually vote for lunatics who will try to stop your vaccine Salk: what now Me: And leave NATO Salk: shit

A historically well-informed "this is who we are" piece. Useful contrast to hand-wringing "Oh, Americans never used to celebrate violence, what has become of us?" editorials and columns.

Such cute little flowers! (Hoya bilobata)

I pray the pardon of Hunter Biden, which was the right thing to do, will be followed in short order by the commutation of the death sentences of every person on federal death row, and that Leonard Peltier will at long last be released. #ClearTheRow #FreeLeonardPeltier

that is the most bears way to lose that game holy shit

CHARLIE BROWN: happy thanksgiving! CHARLIE BROWN’S PARENTS: wah wah wah CHARLIE BROWN: I cannot believe you said that that’s racist CHARLIE BROWN’S PARENTS: wah wah wah CHARLIE BROWN: he’s not my President CHARLIE BROWN’S PARENTS: wah wah wah CHARLIE BROWN: I am too your son

Today Prince is thankful that he has so many toys to play with. Happy Thanksgiving!

I find it so funny when people are like, “I like Lin-Manuel Miranda, I just wish he weren’t so corny.” Like, what do you think the #1 requirement for a composer of musical theatre is.

And the largest bottle of maple syrup I can find.

46 years ago today, dozens of turkeys met their unfortunate demise in a Cincinnati parking lot. WKRP's Les Nessman was on the scene that fateful day.
