I wish I could eat like those frogs who take giant bites and then use their eyeballs to help push the food down their gullets

Really can't be emphasized enough that Kamala Harris, like most Democrats, did not actually run on the defense of trans people in 2024. The real ask here is for Democratic candidates to join in attacking a minority population that is being persecuted by the current administration for votes.

This is malpractice for lots of reasons, but it's also not hard to imagine a scenario where Trump doesn't even have to disobey the Supreme Court because five justices vote to let him do something that's clearly unconstitutional. Schumer's lack of imagination is really troubling.

We just got an email from Target saying they won't notify you about late payments on a Red Card anymore. They'll just quietly collect more fees. The mice are playing now that the CFPB is gone.

GREATEST PERK OF BIKE COMMUTING: i got to enjoy making eye contact with a cyber truck driver while i spit on his hood while riding past him

4-Year-Old Calls 911 To Report Mom For Eating His Ice Cream theonion.com/4-year-...

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones. Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

Update: We recently obtained video from the CTA showing CPD Sgt. Rasah Daily crashing into the back of a CTA bus on DuSable Lake Shore Drive on Sept 12, 2024. She was sentenced to one year supervision for DUI and fleeing the scene.

When a kid dies by suspected abuse or neglect, or dies or is seriously injured (broken bones, head trauma) in the state's care, DCFS is required by law to review + release report. At least 1200 deaths, 3000 serious injuries since summer 2018. No reports. illinoisanswers.org/2025/03/18/a...

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.

this is where it’s going, this is where it’s been for a while

“The Trump administration has canceled funding for an ongoing 30-year, nationwide study tracking patients with prediabetes and diabetes, researchers said, at a time when top officials have emphasized their determination to curb the incidence of such chronic conditions.”

Planet Oasis is locating in Ohio because it's the center of the universe

James Carville is 80 years old

should probably just Google this but does anyone know how to eat a guava? Do I eat the skin? The seeds? Do you have to make a jam?

My "I've never physically hurt anyone" tweet has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my tweet

why does everyone hate my car | patreon.com/lubchansky

this is a golden age for walking out of your lab with a USB key in your pocket getting on a plane and going to Luxembourg

in slightly-early honour of St Patricks Day, I will once again remind the world of the time Amazon united Ireland (and apologized for the Troubles), still one of my favourite moments on twitter

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

The courtyard apartment building simply can't be beat for gentle density and livability. Take these two Logan Square affordable housing developments, one a century old and one modern. Same number of units per acre, but the courtyard building is half the height and the all units are dual aspect.

uncle conversation topics: “there’s so many podcasts on AI”

I dunno man, if the WH can point to people from Latin America and say "gang member," and point to people from the Arab world and say "terrorist" or "antisemite," and those designations lead directly to detention or worse, I think we have to acknowledge we're in a pretty bad place.

Senate democrats DO believe in something, and it’s that workplace pleasantries exchanged between them and senate republicans mean that they are best friends.

Why do we need to pass the Affordable Communities Act, which will allow 8 units of housing on a residential lot in Chicago? A case study of two lots that are a 2 minute walk from the L. Both are zoned single family.

Someone made a Wiley E. Coyote style painted wall to see if Tesla’s autopilot would detect it and well…

ain't no rule says a dog can't be minority leader

Car infrastructure is a barrier to civic engagement.

I think the Democratic Party should be led by people who think the Republican Party is bad. Try it for a bit and see what happens, you know? Just to mix things up a little.

constantly switching off between who is more sick in my household

insane that the democrats, who stand for nothing and refuse to dream big, are moving even further to “the center” (read: the right) because the think they lost to Trump because they were, idk, too far left?

parenthood means always doing at least one other task while brushing your teeth

It begins

norms respecters are like, I love anything that happens a lot

You can tell he went in and looked for the more flattering ones to use lol

i am so stoked when my favorite artists suggest upcoming activity by forming a new legal entity

My favorite part of this story is where Schumer decides the imaginary family he makes decisions for can’t be Irish, because that’s too edgy

spring? for fools?? that’s MY kind of spring baby

we just need stupider leftists. I'm dead serious. charismatic guys with the stamina to record 100 instagram reels a week in the front seat of their car saying stuff like "trump made summers too hot" and "the fries at wendy's taste better ever since they went woke"

Paint-and-post neckdowns are way better than nothing, but they're no substitute for concrete curbs! Half the flexposts on this example at Talman and Fullerton have been squashed by right-turning drivers.

Schumer will be at Politics and Prose in DC on 3/19. Would be great if he were greeted by the "Resign Schumer Choir" - www.eventbrite.com/e/senator-ch... - Let him know in song that he's a traitor and should resign immediately.

definitely something to this, most AI "art" looks like shit because the people using it are blinkered philistines who hate art, artists, and creativity as such newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

ONE PERSON is responsible for a huge # of book challenges in SC. ONE PERSON is responsible for 40% of book challenges in FL. (His name is Bruce.) A single voice absolutely makes a difference. Use yours and raise it for good. For god's sake, are you going to let fucking Bruce run the show?!

Really enjoying this classic Sesame Street segment, two minutes of freestyle jazz riffing on saxophone factory footage

I don't want to say the Schumer optics are bad but Gavin Newsom just invited him on his podcast.

seems like a good time for the Working Families Party to be dramatically ramping up their national efforts…
