World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

Infuriating and heartbreaking. WCK is frigging fearless about going into war and disaster zones and somehow ginning up a functional food service system. If they are saying this, it means it is impossible for even the most resourceful aid group to feed the starving in Gaza.

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.

IDEA: Stop covering politics like its a fucking sporting event. The GOP spending cuts don't provide an "opening" for Democrats to attack. They are either going to harm people or not. Journalism is supposed to be about informing people.

I can remember being repeatedly told that of course the Biden admin was working for a ceasefire, and saying otherwise was crazy. I particularly recall being lectured about how they were wisely hugging the Israelis close, so they could restrain them if needed.

it is interesting how this was totally an elite fabrication. trans rights were on the path to general acceptance on the gay marriage coattails but nearly our entire elite culture including elite liberals decided to run a multi-year op against a tiny minority

I just learned that the entire press team at the FDA was fired last week. The entire press team. It's difficult to grasp how bizarre this is. To wrap my brain around the idea, I made a list of things the FDA is responsible for, and that reporters now have no one at the agency to ask about... 🧪🛟

"This is not bad science; it's not science. Science is driven by open inquiry, not fixed outcomes. Funneling money into 'research' to find evidence of a predetermined belief will not result in any actual science, but rather disinformation disguised as science." Always read @sabs.bsky.social -

It's really crucial to understand how badly framed this is. There is no Signal vulnerability. The Pentagon email did a bad job explaining a Google report from a month ago and NPR repeated it. This is like saying because you got a phishing email at your Gmail address, there's a Google vulnerability.

Why is it everytime I see Hegseth I see Hermann Goering? That similarity is very stark.

‘No Way to Please Everyone’ Says Only University Where Students Are Regularly Kidnapped

The Onion summer writing fellowship is seeking applicants! It's six months, good salary and benefits. This year's applicants do NOT have to complete the Eating Challenge, as it turns out this does not adhere to Illinois labor law. We apologize to those who have died in the past.

This is fucking crazy. The University is abdicating its responsibility to students. By the way, I would like to note that Jelani Cobb was a negotiator for the University, on the other side of the table from the encampment negotiators -- i.e., Mahmoud. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/n...

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Pretty wild that a large portion of the media doesn't have this front and center. Steve Bannon throws a seig heil at CPAC and it's gotten very little news. Are the media afraid of the "but these are jokes" type? Media/political types are you really afraid of this guy?
