I wish more folks on the left understood that the GOP isn't opposed to supporting children and poor people. They just don't want the government to do it because that's competition for religion.

It's not only amazingly absurd that the new head of FEMA told staff he didn't know that the United States had a "hurricane season." It's ALSO amazingly absurd that the new head of FEMA didn't realize he shouldn't admit to staff that he didn't know the United States had a "hurricane season."

There are a number of House Republicans in swing districts claiming that the "big beautiful bill" they voted for does not cut Medicaid or increase the national debt. Just to be clear, this is a bald-faced, massive lie. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/u...

Ukraine's devastating surprise attack on Russia this weekend has big strategic implications beyond the bounds of those two countries. For our country, this might be a really good time to have a robust, competent national security apparatus making smart, well-informed strategic decisions.

It does suck that "AI" now means both generative AI (boo hiss) and a whole basket of incredibly useful machine learning techniques.

This is expected from apocalypse cult Christians. Non-evangelicals are non-human and they exist only to die. Everyone “perishing from the earth” is the goal! “People are gonna die” is a success for them! “I thought people understood” is the big giveaway. “You didn’t know your death is the plan??”

I really liked life a lot better when the most dangerous country in the world wasn't being run by everyone's weirdass uncles who believe in chupacabras and chemtrails.

Elon Musk using so much ketamine that he won't shut up about how it's screwed up his ability to pee might be the most effective anti-drug campaign of this generation.

Listen, folks, we can usually give advice to prepare you ahead of time for emergencies. But no one could have predicted 250 MILLION BEES would be loose on a road. So, stay away. Just…. Don’t go anywhere near them.

An analysis from the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service estimated that DOGE's actions could actually COST the govt $135 bln as a result of lost productivity & changes in the status of fed workers. Some have been mistakenly fired, only to be rehired again. 1/2 www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-e...

This dickhead needs to stop parroting Republican bullshit about people having no inherent value unless they can completely support themselves or have family willing to do so.

Obeying intarweebs law, but also: The popularity of this and of men like Pedro Pascal and Jack Black really kind of wipes out all of the arguments made by "alpha" bro culture. Sure, there are some cishet women who prefer the gymrat douche thing, but it's nowhere near a majority.

When mother nature strikes, she doesn’t ask for your political affiliation first.   Californians deserve disaster aid, just like any other state would.

These feckers have already made off with my last almost-five-decades' worth of creative output to try to "teach" their hopped-up answering machine how to fake writing. If anyone ever *breathed* the suggestion to me that I should willingly use that soi-disant "tool"...it would not go well for them.

Kill off all the "unhealthy" people and all that's left is the healthy ones. At least, that's their logic. They don't quite get that this kind of policy turns healthy people into unhealthy ones pdq.
