I've said this since the first Trump administration. There are more of us than there are them. We have to remember this.

Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation. Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants: 1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process. 2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers. 3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.

Not a minute of rest, not a second of peace. That's how you do it.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

I hate that this whole, expanded situation is turning me into a punishment monkey, but people need to be very seriously punished for these abuses.

Adding helensclosetpatterns.com SewLiberated.com sinclairpatterns.com RadPatterns.com LoveNotions.com PatternsForPirates.com I only recommend inclusive-sizing pattern companies, and prefer to recc ones that have some gender neutral or male coded patterns —

One striking thing from this (excellent) report on a DOGE employee's use of AI is that everything about it is antithetical to sound software engineering practices—an engineer hurriedly deploying an unfamiliar tool to meet an impossible deadline for a problem domain in which he has no expertise.

This isn't just about the patterns though. It's also Boye knitting & crochet needles, Wrights trims, LeMode buttons - basically everything Joann used to stock. Plus the only large scale tissue printing plant in the US. So not just the Big 4 but no more tissue sewing patterns printed here *at all.*

If a seven-year-old can’t walk to the store the fault lies not with the parents but with the community.

We did it guys! We doomscrolled to the good stuff.

The real lesson of the Elon and Trump fight is that no one individual should be allowed to become so powerful their petty feuds have global consequences.

Let’s not forget that earlier today, this day was known as “we cannot build bananas in America” day. That is, until everything went bananas

The important thing as this Trump v. Musk feud escalates is that I want them and their teams and all of their supporters to suffer as much pain and humiliation and degradation as is possible, and I feel as if a few strokes and fistfights and the odd stabbing would be proportional as well

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

“Why is the beyond meat account wading into current events” I just think that if men are too emotional to hold positions of power, we should leave it up to cows

I've heard that some couples share custody of the dog in a divorce.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

I feel like Kissinger came back and died AGAIN.

this is a day for those of us who have spent the last six months terminally online. this is for us and honestly, we deserve it.

not the point but it took me so long to realize that emoji is not a camcorder

"The report provides 130 examples of unethical or potentially corrupt actions that benefit Musk or his companies — one for each day of Musk’s service as a Special Government Employee." Warren Democrat 4 Life, baybee.

"'What do you bring to the table?' - she BUILT the table, it's mid-century modern, Jonathan."

Smacking my word-penis against another man’s word-penis for the straight masculinity of it all

Remember folks, women are too emotional to be president.

the democrats should invite Elon to meet with them. tell him that the meeting is on a patch of sticks and leaves that APPEARS to be sitting atop solid ground. but here is the twist,

While people online argue day and night about how to be a good coalition member, here is the leading opponent to Cuomo, a Muslim democratic socialist, urging his supporters to also rank the rest of the WFP slate in order to maximize the anti Cuomo bloc's vote.

There is literally no point in going down without a fight. You comply, you lose, and you allow the administration to outsource its fascism. You fight, you just might win.

oh my god, he made an ad for my mom

Amena is on the survey because her education requires an internship in almost getting killed, I guess.

Elon Musk wakes up, bleary and disoriented. "Grimes, I just had the weirdest dream..." he mutters as he rolls over to her. "Tell me all about it, Space Daddy," replies Stephen Miller's wife in bed beside him. "Yeah, tell her," comes Stephen's bitter voice from a chair in the semi-darkness.

(small, selfish voice) but... I want him to stay here and do a good job running Maryland...?

I urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding. It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job. unbreaking.org/issues/medic...
