We're all trying to find the guy who did this!

Trump just shared this alarming text from Israeli Ambassador Mike Huckabee, effusively praising him while telling him that no president has been in his position "since Truman in 1945" (when the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Japan) & that he "will hear a voice from heaven" telling him what to do.

this is how every nerdjpg post shows up in my timeline

If this photo was coming out of another country western media would have no problem identifying a fascist takeover by a military backed junta with masked guards

How embarrassing to work for the organized kidnapping ring known as "ICE." Rolling out of bed every day to be a brainless goon. You are lower than a worm to me

This is the funniest pro wrestling picture I can think of. What’s yours?

COLLINS: Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon TRUMP: I don't care what she said

I'm obsessed with this EXTREMELY thorough explanation of the inconsistent capitalization of "DOGE agenda" because you can tell a wikipedia editor was going insane

I say this a lot to folks IRL, but because my job requires me to read a shitload of research abstracts in any given week, I have seen ample research into AI. There's a whole host of impressive research being done on AI for medicine, computer vision, etc. You know what I barely see? Generative AI.

People who don’t like AI aren’t in denial about how useful it is. People who like AI are in denial about how useful it is

AI criticism engenders my least favorite response to anything: “you don’t like it because you don’t understand it.” No. I don’t like it because I understand it very, very well.

there's zero chance we're not getting directly involved in this iran bullshit. the peace candidate can't help himself

A profound delusion for a political party that loves to say “facts over feelings” yet never speaks from any sort of factual basis about this nor will huge swaths of the media, so we all live in this goofy made up Robocop world where Sharia Law motorcycle communism gangs control St Paul

its awesome how people even have to pretend to analyze this as if anti abortion terrorism isnt one of the more famously common forms of domestic terrorism

Bluesky is dying... or Bluesky helped create one of the most effective spontaneous protest movements of the year?

But we're going to touch the stove and we'll be touching it more than probably ever before. And we're not going to get burned. We're not going to get burned

Thanks to NPR for explaining that due to the ancient, mysterious culture of Persia, Iranians "don't like to be attacked" npr.org/2025/06/16/n...

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

The frustrating thing about Democrats is that they will see a poll like this and go “see? Us doing nothing is working, people are turning against him!” but also they’ll see a poll of an issue where Trump is doing ok and go “see? That issue is a political loser for us! We can’t do anything!”

This framing is just malpractice from what was very recently one of the two greatest papers in America

A fable: My kid is bullied by a few classmates who keep verbally abusing and beating him up. His life is hell. Knowing something must be done, I release a statement to the school and fellow parents: “All sides must stop engaging in the rhetoric that has inflamed the school.” Good dad, or nah?

I didn't even know Jeremy Crawford left WOTC. Looks like I have to read more into whatever this Darrington Press thing is.

Former Dungeons & Dragons senior designers Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford have both joined @criticalrole.bsky.social's Darrington Press. We look at what this means for the future of D&D and Daggerheart. dungeonsanddragonsfan.com/chris-perkin... #dnd #criticalrole #daggerheart #ttrpg

I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

Q: What is holding up a deal with Canada? TRUMP: I'm a tariff person

Yeah we noticed

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.
