Understaffed National Weather Service Still Weeks Away From Issuing Kentucky Tornado Warning

🧵 The CNN piece on Bongino and Patel is one of the clearest real-world examples of a key phenomenon in disordered discourse: The agents who stoke it can become its victims, especially when their disordered discourse meets the reality of the institutions it captures.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

You can't be a feminist or child welfare advocate and defend this. (Or you can, but a racist one.)

“Here’s her leg… over there…” “Look for his head, maybe you’ll find it there…” “Did you find his head?!” “Whose legs were those?!” “What’s in this bag?” (a metaphor for human remains) “Oh God, the bag is so small…” (a metaphor for a mutilated body)

In what might be the logical endpoint of American Zionism, the Heritage Foundation has declared that pro-Palestinian activism is not just antisemitic, but is in fact a shadowy global conspiracy … led by Jews. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

“Since I’ve rearranged my whole identity to call most people unclean and filled with vampire blood, their hugs seem less sincere. Separately, I have discovered the vampire-blooded have a new disease called Soft Hug Disease.”

The whole 'Grok is a boer now' thing is very funny, but it also really exposes how every 'AI tool' isn't just passively biased from training data, but actively designed to shape your worldview according to the interests of the billionaires who made them.

Who Is Allowed to Criticize Israel's Genocide of Palestinians? Ms. Rachel was labeled "Antisemite of the Week." Did she Sieg Heil like Elon Musk? No, she simply advocated for Palestinian children in Gaza, and she hasn't backed down. Are the tides turning? open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

You can't make this up. ICE left a 12-year-old completely abandoned on the street after abducting the adult he was with. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

Sean Combs Asks For Quick Trial So He Can Get To Part Where Trump Pardons Him

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

Mainstream media needs to stop pointing out what "RFK Jr. gets right," because there are many, many trained public health officials who get the same things right without all the batshit crazy eugenics and woo.

"I think it should be controversial to NOT say anything" about Gaza I spoke to YouTube star and children's educator Ms. Rachel about her outspoken support for Palestinian kids in Gaza - and the bad-faith attacks on her in response. Full interview here: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

April 30: The Trump Organization announces $5.5 billion luxury golf course in Qatar. May 11: Trump says he will accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar. NYT: Is Trump potentially corrupt?

American mainstream news is like "The far right science denier in charge who is responsible for the worst measles outbreak in recent history and who doesn't believe in germ theory says all the science is wrong about trans people, and this is why our Editorial Board agrees!"

Couldn’t get this one in the character limits

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated. “Only very sick kids should die from measles.” No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die. Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

this is not an exaggeration

For everyone who was like “Google search is getting worse,” we were absolutely right.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Breaking: Newark, New Jersey Mayor Ras Baraka (D) has just been arrested by the Trump administration after he was protesting outside of an ICE facility.

Herd immunity matters. This Canadian teacher was vaccinated with only one MMR shot due to the guidelines at the time (1970) and contracted measles. Two doses are recommended now. Had anti-vaxxers not spread the disease, it’s unlikely she would have encountered it. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

New ICE Agent Establishes Dominance By Beating Up Biggest Child Prisoner On First Day theonion.com/new-ice...

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

If RFK Jr guts food inspection the answer is simple: simply grow your own organic food. And if Trump ends democracy the answer is simple: simply legally form your own nation and name your cat prime minister

Multiple articles have been written about Bluesky being a dangerous echo chamber while the world’s richest and influential men are having their brains cooked in increasingly extremist group chats

Busta Rhymes we once again should have heeded your wisdom

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

they know there's going to be an apocalypse for trucking jobs due to tariffs so they're trying to stem the political damage by making it so the layoffs disproportionately affect non-english speaking truckers

This is why ICE agents should be prosecuted. Secret police who refuse to identify themselves are no police at all. They give those subject to their orders no way to distinguish them from criminals except taking the word of a random masked thug. The courts need to be invoked to clarify this.
