Motherlode of ancient pnw pin buttons have washed ashore at the Bermuda Triangle of Tacoma History: Tinkertopia!

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

It’s really inconceivable that our “government” is doing this. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n...

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

20 years too late. The damage is done.

Florida has sued Target for selling pride merch during pride month in a clear and blatant violation of the 1st amendment. www.reuters.com/legal/target...

The stars and planets seem extra bright in SF tonight.

For people wondering when the right began falling in love with Putin: It was after the passage of the first anti-gay law in Russia in 2013. That was the moment GOP elected officials and rightwing Christian grifters started showing up on Fox to heap praise Putin. www.theguardian.com/world/2013/j...

Car alarms should either be outlawed or limited to 30 seconds of alarm noise max.

A scene from 9th Street Designer Clearance in SF. I totally thought they were real people for a hot second. 😱

this is really fucking bad. what the fuck.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

incredible. 14/10. no notes.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

One of Elon Musk’s closest friends, a billionaire co-founder of Airbnb, is taking a role in President Trump’s administration to help Musk carry out his drive to slash the federal bureaucracy, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

Well, this seems perfectly awful. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I won’t stop posting this.

There is going to come a time in the very near future where the only way to resolve this is for every non-MAGA media company to band together and simply refuse to walk into the presser or attend the event. Because he wants the coverage more than anything else. Divided you fall.

We think they should be powerful enough to afford principles. They think they have a lot to lose (and they lost their "don't be evil" motto a long time ago). Google, you coward, you quisling.

A Nick’s Cove illusion.

What won’t Trump and Elon disrupt?!

How’s your head? (Seen in Oakland at Narrative)

Russell Vought, the Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, tells the Chairman of the Federal Reserve that the CFPB does not require any additional funds for now. This, of course, means they are gutting the agency.

Saw this painting today and I think I need it.

I like to ask AI to create images of vizslas drinking wine. 🍷 I hope that you are also following your bliss.

I’m not a doctor, but I play one on Flashes.

Look we’ve all said some wild racist things in the heat of the moment while committing a coup and compromising millions of people’s personal data

It's fascinating to read about the lengths companies like Meta went to in order to steal copyrighted material to train their AI.

They want to replace DEI with AIDS.

My dude, you're the minority leader of the Senate. What you need to say is "We're going to do (some specific thing) until DOGE is shut down and everyone is given their jobs back." And actually do it. Otherwise, just stop. It's embarrassing at this point.

This is what you'll find if you look for the CDC's guidelines for PrEP. www.cdc.gov/hiv/pdf/risk...

Is it time for impeachment yet?

Not one American voted for the person who is laying waste to the federal government and hijacking the secure data of US citizens. I just wanted to lay it out: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Goatfuckers.
