Honestly, if you fall for Trump's horseshit (twice) you... kinda deserve the sucker punch he chucks out. *shrugs*

THIS

Mr. Kennedy said it’s an individual choice as to whether or not to vaccinate. Then he and his minions started taking that choice away by making FDA approval of some vaccines impossible.

Absolute bastards. I hope they get everything they deserve. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

#OnThisDay April 30, 1992, the final episode of The Cosby Show aired on NBC. Fox aired a repeat of #TheSimpsons on the same night, but it featured a new piece of animation after the episode ended referencing the final Cosby and... wow.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!

Today, we are reading about

Good fucking riddance

“Socialism (led by communists or socialist parties) has never worked” Reality: even in 1986 and according to world bank data the USSR, East Germany, Cuba, Yugoslavia, etc had significantly better outcomes for calorie intake, literacy, infant mortality, doctors p cap, etc than capitalist countries

They want everyone who could possibly cost them money dead or gone, and everyone who's left working in shitty jobs to keep them up to their eyeballs in stuff we can't afford to buy. Disaster capitalism at its finest. Yes America - at this you are 100% exceptional.

Who hid Americans during the 1979 hostage crisis? Canada. 🇨🇦 👊🏻

Watch this before you eat that chicken dinner. 😬🐔

As a party, we are prisoners being held hostage by people who simply refuse to accept that their time has passed and won’t accept that others more capable right now. Stay in the Senate, but step down from leadership. It’s time for a new approach, a new face, & a new voice.

'Do your own research' for new parents. That means talk to your GP, or a medically qualified doctor (Oz does not count). That is all.

Māori scholar Mākereti Papakura formally matriculated to Oxford University in 1927 to read Anthropology at the Pitt Rivers Museum. Tragically, Mākereti died in 1930, just weeks before she was due to present her thesis.

🎶 Help us put together a soundtrack for our Stories of Childhood exhibition 🎶 What music would you like to hear in our exhibition? What music do you remember from your childhood? What song instantly transports you back to school discos or the first time you bought a record 🤔

😂😂😂 this isn’t even hyperbole

the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters

Working on a project deep in queer history and theory and I’m furious. So much of our perspective has been erased or twisted to be more palatable. We’re forced to explain ourselves to people who were never listening. A system built to misunderstand us on purpose.

We have a story for you today good people of Bluesky. It's about how this gold signet ring was lost for centuries and then found on the Hall's doorstep and the gentleman behind its discovery. Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin...

All of the doctors who were against vaccine mandates are now threatening to take away your right to get a Covid vaccine. This is their vision of medical freedom and bodily autonomy.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

Dear god let this man cook.

Fuck the far right all the way off the edge of a cliff :)

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation" Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

Why the fuck does everyone have to be a hero? Why can't it just be people doing their job? Exceptionalism is poison.

Join us for a teeny weeny tour of York… …it might be small but we've dug out the big guns...Francis Drake's (no not that one) 'Eboracum' to tell you about Old Ouse Bridge.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett—is the Vice Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee and she is next in line, y’all. 🔥 Let’s rally behind her because she’s the fierce fighter we need. @repjasmine.bsky.social

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.

It's going to be very funny if/when it turns out that Wiley has also been training its models on pirated content. www.thebookseller.com/news/academi...

Carney: We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons. We have to look out for ourselves and above all, we have to take care of each other.

. For those who thought I was digging at Gerry Connolly nope. I was calling out the system that kept AOC from leading Oversight. She had the vision; they had the seniority. Now, with Connolly stepping down due to health reasons, maybe it’s time for a change. A WOMAN. .

And this morning the Shed is a mountain shack, accessible only by a flight of innumerable steps carved into the rock; a place of silence, and soaring birds, and the wind-shredded clouds above...

It’s a beautiful thing to see people put aside their differences, their politics, and unite in their love of country. Well done, Canada. 🇨🇦 Your citizens stood on guard for thee.

5 reasons autism is so frequently missed in girls and women...

Blue skies, sunshine, warm enough to be en terrasse but not too hot - this is perfect. Another 6 months exactly like this please, Paris. Merci mille fois 😎

In Wilcox (the Trump emergency application about whether he can fire without cause members of the NLRB and MSPB), Chief Justice Roberts's "administrative stay" (allowing Trump to fire them) has now been in place for *19 days.* That's quite a long time for what's supposed to be a temporary order...

Elbows up, Canada! 🇨🇦 Get out there and vote. Don’t let what is happening to us, happen to you.

It’s Election Day, Canada. Go vote Canada Strong.

NOT A WORD ABOUT LE PEN AND RN PEDDLING ANTI MUSLIM HATE WITH EVERY BREATH. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

And this morning the Shed is a wooden bench in the sun; visited by squirrels and birds; adrift with the scent of hyacinth and lilac and apple blossom…
