Very sad to learn that Virginia Giuffre has died by suicide. She was just 41. Virginia was perhaps the most well-known survivor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s predation. I’ve had four other Epstein survivors tell me they would not have come forward if not for Virginia’s courage.

Wow. Just, wow

these fuckers being able to destroy everything is not a foregone conclusion

Twitter is feeding me nothing but Indians and Pakistanis memeing at each other with what I can only describe as a “DOGE Teen” level of bigotry lmaooo

John Mulaney got METZ back together for a night?! Lisan al-Gaib

It's cool how Pete Hegseth thought running the Department of Defense would involve knocking out some push-ups on camera and hitting various Marine Todd notes on cable news and then he has just been living the "Jump Into The Fire" sequence from Goodfellas for every single moment since he got the job.

the thought of Pete Hegseth leaking anything from his person is making me physically ill

Unless their demands are met

the most white bread national Dems you know are out there visiting people in detention centers, I can’t help but laugh darkly at San Francisco Dems picking the absolute worst time in our lifetime to act like this and then planting a puff piece in Politico about it

The Israeli soldiers who killed Palestinian medics last month "fired continuously for three and a half minutes – even from point-blank range – reloading their ammunition multiple times, despite attempts by the aid workers to identify themselves." www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

“As @jackiefielder.bsky.social put it, the city is trying to serve 500 homeless families. If HSH gave them each a $3,500 monthly housing voucher, the annual cost would be…about 20% of what the city spends on police overtime [and] less than the city is prepared to spend [housing] pandas at the zoo.”

I don't understand how San Francisco has exported any of this progressive ideology to the national party. Kamala's campaign was not even remotely left wing and national Democrats (the Biden admin!) supported the war on Gaza www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

unable to stop tearing up when the vatican band starts playing pope francis's favorite song about jesus ("i'll be" by edwin mccain)

(Reads Wikipedia for 15 minutes) uh actually JD Vance *martyred* the Pope, thereby statmaxxing his Catholicism levels and ensuring canonization

Regardless of how one feels about the Catholic Church or about Pope Francis, now is a time to come together to claim that JD Vance killed him

somewhere on the eastern seaboard there is a Hooters containing our nuclear football

Said goodbye to my baby last night. Life is hard but we live to give the best life to the people we love. Like Atlas did for me and I did for him (I hope), we’re all here to make it just a little easier

you’re laughing. Jair Bolsonaro is having Hot Girl IBS again and you’re laughing.

ten year treasury yield this ten year treasury yield that you need to Yield the next ten years to Treasure our Lord Jesus

Prominent climate communicators continue to "joke" that what Trump is doing is "degrowth". It is not, and such claims are actively harmful. A quick🧵

we wouldn't be having a "male loneliness epidemic" if people would just remember you need to keep at least two of them per cage and make sure that they have proper enrichment activities like a wheel to run on and tubes to climb in and a substrate deep enough to tunnel into and hide treats

put Janno Lieber in charge of the NY Democratic Party instead of the clowns they got running it now

Okay, yeah, in fairness Marx did fail to anticipate vanguardist bankers desperately trying to turn the woke back on

So we bounced 8% on a fake headline, sold off when people realized it was fake, and then bounced again when it occurred to people that if we bounced that much on a fake headline imagine how much we'd bounce on a hypothetical real one.

ok so!!! something I found really interesting after talking to Korean protesters was... well, it was actually me realizing something about protest in the US: protest is trapped in an unwinnable spiral about "peaceful" versus "violent" protest, and even people who know it's dumb can't break free

Bee's home filled with ash during the wildfires. Holly pays $350/month to heat her studio apt. Desperate for safety & change, both turned to a trusted source: the tenant union. The climate crisis hits tenants hardest, but tenants are fighting back. I wrote about it in @shelterforce.bsky.social

derek guy apparently tricked two people into getting into a fight outside a uniqlo

if you write something like this "from the left" in march 2025, you should be strapped to a chair and forced to watch current news footage a la clockwork orange

there are trans working class people dude

these tariffs dumb as fuck but were I feeling uncharitable I would note that the same people who are yelling at the western PA Congressman for using western PA-appropriate tariff messaging were more than fine with triangulating when it meant throwing immigrants & trans people under the bus. Noted!
