I’ll thank the She-Wolf of the Press Room to keep the name of my people out of her fascist mouth.

Does anyone know if that nightmare taking up space in the White House was rejected from Columbia?

(youth pastor voice) You know who else went down and then made a big comeback 3 days later?

Imagine how cool it would be for the SEC to be, as it should be, a wholly independent agency that would actually look into what was no doubt MASSIVE insider trading by Trump favorites today.

It's wrong to send Americans to an overseas megaprison. It's wrong to send non-Americans to an oversea megaprison. It's wrong whether they committed a crime or not. It's wrong whether they have been sentenced for a crime or not. Cruel and unusual punishment is wrong. Concentration camps are wrong.

It's a lousy brain day, but wheeee I got some things on my list done anyway.

“anything we can actually do, we can afford” stamp this on the head of anyone who asks how we can afford universal health care or universal child care or public pensions or free college

With the Insurrection Act looming, now is the time to learn how it might unfold and the strategic ways to respond — including the power of ridicule, writes @daniel-hunter.bsky.social.

I spent some time yelling on my newsletter. It was in the neighborhood of cathartic. buttondown.com/dispatchesfr...

For my Patreon blog, I wrote about how this week's economic collapse is the culmination of the media's legacy of failure to contest conservative ideas that simply do not ever work. It's free to read, but if you appreciate my work, consider becoming a paid subscriber. www.patreon.com/posts/its-ti...

"The show-within-a-show stars John Cho, Jack McBrayer, Clark Gregg, and DeWanda Wise, sporting outrageous hairstyles and costumes that make the stylings of A Flock of Seagulls look like business casual." oh my God they're doing Sanctuary Moon, say thank you Apple TV+

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

if the united states ever has even a hope of recovering we have to destroy the idea of american individualism. "they don't owe you anything" we owe each other everything actually

Having my book stolen by Meta to train their large language models doesn't feel great. But it does present me with another opportunity to declare how much, and how vehemently, I hate everything that Big AI's snake-oil peddling hypemen stand for. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Tomorrow in @journalistspaythemselves.com I’m running down why Substack is so bad for your newsletter business journalistspaythemselves.com/subscribe

Yes, this. Someone line up behind him. Take it in shifts. Grind this shit to a halt. DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE (SCHUMER?) WHO TRIES TO STOP YOU

I took a big ball of string and created a massive fractal spiderweb all over my bedroom.

I mean… Yeah. Yeah they do. For entirely known and warned-about reasons. Yes. www.science.org/content/arti...

I love this story by Keith Uhlig, and particularly the ending: "I think for a lot of us LGBT people, the message resonates," Mountain said. "Maybe people tell you you can't do something, but you can go ahead and do it anyway.""

Hi I’m the webmaster for MLB.tv just taking my lunch break and seeing what’s going on online

Please know that you are loved devotedly and profoundly, imagine this squirrel offering you this nut as a symbol of the love that already exists for you, whether or not you're feeling it right now.

This is real, and it's awful, and if ever you weren't sure that AI brainrot slop is both metaphorically and now literally a tool of the fascists -- welp. There it is. So! Don't use gen-AI. Not for anything. Not even as a joke.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

I have never heard of these and I just bought the first one and I am very excited.

Lenin discovering Alexander Kerensky has accidentally added him to the Provisional Government group chat.

Dear fellow academics, hope today's hilarious news regarding mind boggling incompetence of the white male 'meritocracy' has permanently cured your imposter syndrome. You all know that you've never been nor will ever be THAT BAD at your job.

RIP imposter syndrome, which came to a violent end in Pete Hedgseth’s group chat.

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far. Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million) www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Zuck said Meta is in a "partnership" with White House; Google is following suit. They are all that stand between you and Trump admin data grabs. Here's a resource collection of non-US services to replace email, search, docs, music, video, backups, and more: www.wired.com/story/trump-...

The sing-along version of Wicked should be prefaced by a five-minute PSA video about diaphragmatic breathing and supportive mouth positions. Won't somebody think of the children('s vocal chord health)???

The Spare is in here. It is an abyssal feeling. That's all.

This is the kinda thing that gets you a general strike.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Trash it.

You know, I thought I was done giving money to Democrats. But I’m going to happily donate to whoever primaries these feckless, weak motherfuckers
