Looks like we've got a cure for sickle cell. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Everyone’s too polite to say it in their “what Democrats should do to win elections” posts but the obvious answer is lie and make a bunch of crazy promises because most voters are morons

The deal is I punch you in the face How about I give you $50 instead Nope, I want to punch you I’ll buy you dinner but no violence Sorry, I really like to punch Ok, what if you slap me medium-hard It’s a punch in the face or nothing Ok fine, punch me. I can’t be blamed for obstructing a deal

One of the really special things about Sesame Street was always these little art films that were less about teaching a specific thing than they were about instilling a sort of meditative sense of wonder at how the world works.

Make all of your art resistance art.

Holy shit episode 3 of #Daredevil was fantastic. The sound of the coqui during the end credits 🚬 RIP Kamar de los Reyes

They’re 22-43.

So I’m assuming the name of Gavin Newsom’s podcast is “I Don’t Want To Be President”

Just thinking about what the US looked like before the EPA existed

March 11th, 2025 (notes): Cutting big chunks of novel for word count is torturous. #Beşiktaş finally took an L & the fanbase doesn't seem to be imploding (maybe because I'm not on twitter to see it). The empire continues to wane faster than I thought it would. Not with a bang but with tariffs? ☠️

Twitter is down. Tesla stock is plummeting. SpaceX’s rocket imploded. All owned by the same guy who’s now in charge of our federal government.

I honestly don’t hate the picture of all the Chicago cops protecting Tesla because showing a bunch of armed agents of the state openly enforcing Elons will is revealing the truth of our situation much more clearly than anything protestors could show

Kidnapping students for thought crimes is not something democracies do. zeteo.com/p/breaking-d...

I found where they’re conserving you

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

it would be so sick if there was a political party for people younger than 55

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I am not the first to say it but I do sort of see where JD Vance's mom was coming from when she traded him for drugs

Watching these tech moguls line up to get behind the government in this way - greedily enriching themselves at the expense of taxpayers whose social safety net is actively being gutted - is disconcerting to say the least. There's a word for state-backed corporatism... and Mussolini invented it...

A conservative paradox: how do you both complain about homeless people every time you visit a big city during election season while also doing everything you can legislatively to make as many people homeless via medical debt & the like as possible? Beyond just being a blatant hypocrite, that is.

Rufo straight up admits that the entire framing of being against "cancel culture" was BS and they just wanted to be the ones doing the "canceling." Every radical centrist who was just asking questions in the Atlantic played their useful idiot role in bringing this to fruition.

February 25th, 2025 (notes): Editor got back to me - last round of novel edits underway! #Beşiktaş : on to the cup quarterfinals! 🦅 A lot of liberals I know are coming out of the woodwork as if they've been fighting this shit from the sidelines all this time. Better late than never, I guess.

Caught a guy peeing on my cybertruck. You're wasting your time idiot, it was already covered in piss from all the other people who did that today

The path to 3rd is clear

Great weekend for Beşiktaş and we haven't even gotten to see Fenerbahçe & Galatasaray attempt to murder each other for 90 minutes yet!

every single transportation conversation ever

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

how is trump doing all these things. where is the parliamentarian

Whenever I see a rightwinger whine about "identity politics" I die a little bit inside. Nationalism has their identity tied up in flags, animals, types of bread & shit, advocating for literal wars. But someone fighting for their personal rights re: equity of opportunity is "identity politics" smh

Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country

Did people not like Brave New World? Feel like it was a nice entry re: continuity in the MCU. Also Mackie was excellent.

Couldn't be clearer that Democrats aren't a party in the way that Republicans are a party. The GOP has an ideological project. They build power to accomplish specific things. The project of the Democratic Party is getting Democrats reelected. 80-90+% of Congress is, so it doesn't take much effort.

"Aren't you the country where people hang plastic testicles on their cars?" Ok wise guy, and where do people in your country hang them?

I've heard/seen a lot of Musk comparisons to like a failed Tony Stark/Lex Luthor archetype, but I'm surprised I haven't seen many MODOK comps tbh. Seems apt.
