I guess if we’re going to do kings, I’ll take Jumball

There’s a moment in the Adam Curtis documentary TraumaZone (about the collapse of the Soviet Union) that feels extremely relevant here.

The wealthiest man in the world has fully purchased the federal government of the United States. This is one of the most extraordinary crises in the history of this country and you need to ask whether your elected representatives are acting like it.

Sooooo disappointing, VCU

this feels like a bit of a misunderstanding of human psychology though- if the mom doesn't double down then she has to admit to herself that she killed her own kid and I dunno that a lot of people are actually capable of that level of self reflection and honesty

there it is, folks

I can't even feel good about that win lol

YOU SHOULD BE COASTING TO A WIN RIGHT NOW, RAMBLERS

I'm going to lose my entire mind due to this game, jfc

this is the sloppiest basketball I've seen in a LONG time, so thanks for that, Ramblers

can't imagine why

Loyola gonna fuck around and lose this game because they can't hang onto the damn ball!!!!

This doesn’t seem, ummm, what’s the word? Credible.

Loyola is playing sloppy AF these past few minutes tho

This is, BTW, the case for 100% of "reinstated" fed employees I've personally spoken with. None are actually back at work and serving the public as they were previously and there is a widespread assumption that "re-firings" will occur as soon as a legal mechanism is found.

Miles Rubin is simply here to disrespect San Jose State

You never really know what to expect at a chai cafe open until 4 a.m. on a busier-than-usual street in suburban Lombard during Ramadan.

Jackie wrote *extensively* in his autobiography about the racism he experienced while serving in the Army. He fought like hell against his white colleagues and superiors and did not mince words.

JFK files shocker: turns out he was a nepo baby

"Among those detained was Ernesto Campos, a U.S. citizen and owner of a Bakersfield landscaping company. Agents stopped Campos’ truck and slashed his tires when he refused to hand over his keys." Many, many documented examples here. Excellent piece.

"there's things in this file that seem completely separate from what the file is supposed to be about!" Yep. Welcome to real life.

Just a fundamentally backwards argument. Makes me ill.

And remember: the current administration is packed with people who explicitly cite Orban’s Hungary as an ideal.

the computer geniuses strike again

This is like suspending Mariah Carey during Christmas

OFFICIAL NISEI LOUNGE STATEMENT ON IF WE WILL BE OPEN FOR THIS WEEK'S PREPOSTEROUSLY SCHEDULED CUBS GAMES IN TOKYO. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: “No. Quit asking.” Full statement below:

*slaps the federal government* This baby can cause so many crises

If any of the McDonaldland characters go missing … we have suspect no. 1.

Mulder: brillant AF Also Mulder: runs around yelling about *the Federal Government* with less than zero self-awareness

hypothetically speaking, you know what ABSOLUTELY destroys your ability to collect intel on a relatively new, violent gang whose main characteristics, activities, and hierarchy are yet unknown to you?

Judges have the authority to order the government to reveal classified information directly to them in secure settings.

funniest outcome would be if the kennedy docs implicate members of an entirely new, previously unknown conspiracy. kennedy was assassinated by agents of....the FDA??

1/Don't accept the premise: The US government does not spend enough compared to its peers. That is what drives inequality and generates diseases of despair.

1. EXCLUSIVE An internal Social Security Administration memo, dated March 13 and obtained by Popular Information, lays out a plan to sabotage the agency. The memo itself predicts "service disruption," "operational strain," and "budget shortfalls" will result. Follow this thread for details. 🧵

Gen Z taking the "go to grad school" strategy in a bad job market, just like many of us Millennials did a decade and a half ago.
