Thank you for reaching out to the Dudes Rock hall of fame. At this time we must reject your application for Dudes Who Rocked Status be conferred on Louis Slotin. While it's unquestionably Dude to prop a half-sphere of plutonium open with a screwdriver, there's nothing Rocking about what came after

The funny thing about rfk is that when he dies it will probably be impossible to tell whether it was murder, given how much weird shit the guy is up to. They'll be like "we found an absolute ton of arsenic in his blood, but also he was taking arsenic pills"

End this suffering

This kind of thing is so gross on so many levels

"San Diego is replacing a lane of parking downtown with a greenway that will feature a row of trees, a rocking bench, and children’s play infrastructure."

How could a slavery scandal involving the President of the United States be worse than we thought? This extremely long, extremely detailed, and fully sourced PROOF report explains. This—not the tariff war—is the most important story in America right now. I hope you will consider checking it out.

Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

Yes there are places in ATL with super-high charges/fines for parking. It's worth addressing. But this writeup frustratingly conflates that with a *very different issue*: the desire for free parking everywhere. Paid parking should be *expected* in a major city! atlanta.eater.com/2025/4/9/244...

RFK Jr. Called #ADHD Drugs Poison. What Does the Research Say? The health secretary said the drugs have “damaged” children, but doctors say prescription stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall help millions of people, by @cdcaron.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/w... via @nytimes.com

The NYT has made thousands of editorial decisions that boggle the mind.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is not doing a great job selling "Liberation Day" on Meet the Press this morning. He's citing the fact that oil prices dropped this week as a positive -- that's probably because the market's starting to price in a drop in demand from a recession 😬

Today is the Tour of Flanders! 🚴‍♀️ First held in 1913 as a daring stunt to promote a newspaper, this iconic race has grown into a celebration of cycling itself—grit, passion, and community all rolled into one. 📸 via @classicretro.bsky.social

A change in tone from the NYPost: Investors’ pain “is matched only by their confusion about why the president triggered the sell-off “.. Trump doesn’t have years. The midterm elections are 19 months away.” @nypost.com nypost.com/2025/04/05/o...

THIS. #HandsOff

BRENNAN: The countries seem kind of random. Why are the Heard and McDonald islands, which don't export to the US and are quite literally inhabited by penguins, why do they face a 10% tariff. Did you use AI to generate this? LUTNICK: Heh heh heh. No.

“But, Toad,” cried Frog, “you will miss all the fun!”

I can neither knit nor draw to save my life and I don’t understand how anyone can, both of these things are ACTUAL WITCHCRAFT

I think the ability of some people in this administration to say absolutely crazy shit with a straight face is maybe enabled by Botox?

"Disciplines as wide-ranging as sociology, psychology, history, and medicine have critically examined automobility; however, the field of peace and conflict studies has yet to explore the normalized negative externalities of car supremacy" www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Kenner's head sculpt for the Six Million Dollar Man was a pretty good plastic likeness of Lee Majors

Three million Americans marched today. Here’s why we wrote about one American who didn’t.

Today is the birthday of artist Gil Kane (April 6, 1926-Jan. 31, 2000). Cocreator of Green Lanterns Hal Jordan & Guy Gardner, the Ray Palmer Atom, Sinestro, Iron Fist, & many more.

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

I’d love to say I’m shocked that he destroyed the world economy and then left to go play golf but really I’d have been shocked if he hadn’t.

Of course we had to buy the original art for our THIS INK RUNS COLD story, "The ADHD P.I." Only five days left on the Kickstarter campaign. Don't miss out on this unique anthology. And listen to our latest episode with artist Scott Morse🔗🧵⬇️

At the party. Giving out little candy bananas. Serving runt.

Look around!

“Reciprocal” tariffs are the new “clean coal.” (they aren’t reciprocal, and it isn’t clean)

READ: International law wasn’t built to protect Palestine. It was built to contain it. The system isn’t failing — it’s working exactly as designed. Colonialism didn’t die. It just learned how to veto. mondoweiss.net/2025/04/pale...

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

Huge if true

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

MSNBC just showed a montage of world leaders calling the USA idiotic, illogical, hostile, unhinged.... literally never seen anything like this. From the shining city on a hill to an object of global derision and contempt.
