Not gonna lie, I thought the sentence was gonna end “…now he’s the head of the US Navy. “

“… our streets have been flooded with cars that are bigger, wider, taller, and more dangerous for not just people in their immediate surroundings but also for the environment…” Good reminder of this article from late last year👇

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty." - Hannah Arendt

I'm no politician, but there's not a representative in this country who couldn't find a bright, young, patriotic federal employee from their district who got the buzz saw from Musk and Trump. Get them on camera. Make these job losses personal, ya know.

I would get the history of the witch panics right before posting saccarine dross like this. going-medieval.com/2023/10/20/y...

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

LITERALLY EVERY FBI DIRECTOR HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

"Most cases are in school-age kids, and 13 have been hospitalized..." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

It really is that simple

Reminder: measles can kill, especially young children. The outbreak in Samoa, that RFK Jr. helped take hold with vaccine disinformation, killed over 80, mostly young kids. www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/01/30/h...

someone just tried this

“On the day of the vote, several senior aides to Mr. Trump and people close to Mr. Hegseth said they thought Mr. Tillis was too weak to hold out.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/u...

I want you to imagine how Trumpists and the Right would have shit themselves if the Biden administration had excluded any news outlets that kept referring to Fort Bragg. They have no values or standards.

"They have begun downplaying the likelihood that consumer costs like groceries will decline anytime soon, reflecting the limited power that presidents have to control prices. Those are largely determined by global economic forces." 🧵

Happening now: Hospital staff and community members are currently protesting outside of the Seattle Children’s Hospital demanding the reinstatement of gender affirming surgeries for trans youth. 🧵

FATAL CAR CRASHES CUT IN HALF BY A TOLL THAT IS LESS THAN MY DAILY LUNCH/COFFEE BUDGET.

NYTimes adding insult to injury in this tragedy. The “treatment” was for autism, which isn’t a thing, and was being done by someone with no medical training who charges cash for expensive bogus therapies. And now a 5-year-old is dead because of the grift.

they can beg me for forgiveness for what they have jubilantly done to my people, and then we can talk

Car owners forced to walk an entire block

Even more true today.

every new restaurant in every major city is either called Thistle+Thorn and thinks adding turmeric to brussel sprouts makes them worth $30 or is called Burger Bitch and has a neon sign in the window that says “im gonna fuck a hamburger”

The best thing you can do for an author is to request their book from your library. The library will usually get it for you! The author will get an immediate sale, and libraries will know there is a demand for their future books! Just google your library name plus "book request" or walk in and ask

this is funny as-is but imo way funnier when you see his lawyer

Periodic editor's reminder to use "TK" for your placeholder copy, because it's easier to catch at a glance than whatever your gentile social media producer might use instead

He is 74 and has esophageal cancer!! LET GO OF THE REINS ALREADY

I think they should be frightened more often

Simply incredible

i just.... it's literally the polio vaccine. how can you be on team polio

Unless I’m mistaken, @nytimes.com has not deigned to cover this manhattan murder at all. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

One helluva lede. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

The number of bone chilling stories about the US insurance system is shocking. This isn't naivety about it but simply more evidence that it's broken and people with power to make change haven't *for generations* and I'd say they can't be trusted.

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

We've known about this problem since 2016

A propos of nothing, UnitedHealthcare declined to cover my husband’s ambulance trip to the morgue because his insurance policy lapsed at the second of his death.

RFK Jr. is actively spreading misinformation about vaccines, and Vaccine SCIENTIST, Dr. Peter Hotez is still fighting his propaganda! Thank you, Dr. Hotez!

Truth.
