honestly the longer the luigi mangione case goes on for the more i’ve become convinced he wasn’t even the guy that shot the unitedhealth CEO and is just a fall guy the state decided upon to punish

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet. Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

I don’t know man, what could it possibly be?

Greyhound, I promise I will never talk smack about you ever again. Bravo

My first ever vinyl was Take 5

Kind of want to start my own literary magazine ngl

“xAI tried to train me to appeal to the right” says so much about the current moment we live in

If your vote threatens someone's right to exist, then yeah I judge you based on your vote.

Friendly reminder to support your local independent bookstore this weekend! A slightly less friendly reminder to just not buy books from Am*zon at all.

me when I lie

there is no plan(et) b.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

hey can anyone spare $200 they won't get back? I nEED to buy a Polaroid Flip

True facts are true

anyone who writes about or talks about the ongoing impact of racism in the united states is accused of a "victim mentality," but this here is the actual victim mentality

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

I hate all these fucking assholes so much

Every day, it looks more like a regime. Now the Trump administration is pushing to put Columbia University under a consent decree—a court-enforced agreement that would legally bind the school to federal demands, with a judge overseeing whether they “comply.”

pulling off the mask on the united states and revealing it was scam nation this whole time

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

happy confederate surrender day to all

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming? Both. It's both.

NEW: Trump said government cuts wouldn’t affect public safety. But staffing changes at the Forest Service have weakened an already strained firefighting force by hitting support staff who play crucial roles in preventing and battling blazes.

if we want to rebuild american institutions and earn back the world’s trust after this we cannot settle for half-measures. lots of people need to go prison. lots more need to be permanently stripped of wealth and power.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

frankly, I'm shocked that the guy who went broke running casinos would turn out to be shit at running an economy

I genuinely don't understand how anyone can look at the current moment and think "Abolish ICE" was anything but completely correct. ICE cannot and should not exist. Period.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

you have to be genuinely stupid as fuck to think american companies are going to respond to tariffs by building factories and moving manufacturing to the US. i don't know how else to say it. you have to be genuinely braindead

Oh man, somebody get him out of there. He’s crazy.

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

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

A more innocent time, before the threat of penguins forced his hand

Groups across the country have received letters notifying them that their grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities have been canceled, raising alarms about serious harm to museums, historical sites, and a wide range of community projects.

Today's stock market crash was the worst since the Spring of 2020. Can you guess who was president during *both* crashes? I bet you can!
