Video captured the moment a road buckled and sent a car flying as a heatwave impacted Missouri on Sunday.

Well put by @mmasnick.bsky.social. www.techdirt.com/2025/06/20/c...

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?

Man, can't a guy enjoy a home cooked dinner on a Saturday without war breaking out?

This is illegal. I understand you can't just say that as some sort of talismanic phrase. It being illegal didn't stop it, and won't stop the next naked exercise of power. But it is illegal, and it's important that we remember that. There need to be consequences for all of this.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

What’s common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? It takes about twice the effort to make a functioning door in a video game as it does to make flying superpowered character that shoot lasers and bombs.

these are our brothers and we should be building a better world together

Unreal levels of Trump's America here.

has that dude had his little birthday boy tank man parade yet? it’s hard to tell because the only thing the news is showing right now is how much people around the country hate him

Holy shit

Once in New Haven I passed by Oliver Stone walking the other way in a crosswalk and had no idea who he was. When I got to the other side someone said "Hey, that's Oliver Stone".

Senator Padilla was no angel

This is an out-of-control paramilitary agency, taking orders from radical white supremacists, operating outside the law and attacking Americans and states. Shut the whole thing down

Scam Likely calls me like 20 times a day lately. I dunno what that guy wants, yeesh 🙄

A terrifying escalation:

Vibes today.

Sharing this interesting wikipedia entry for no particular reason today en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_C...

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

Very rude for internet things to be happening while I'm trying to get work done.

the final boss

TRUMP AND ELON ARE FIGHTING

Today has been one of the Mondayest of days I've had in a while...

by carefully mixing 10% cream with 1% skim milk, you can unlock forbidden milk percentages the government doesn't want you to know about, like 7.725%

I always thought of this as "go time" personally, but Clown Time has a nice ring to it. My productivity strategy over the years has basically become to spend 75% of my time laying the groundwork for clown time, 5% of my time doing the actual thing, and then the remaining 20% recovering.

anyone else feel like doing their little job while the country collapses is profoundly lonely? well so do i so i wrote about it thinly disguised as a sandwich esssy buttondown.com/theswordandt...

Just a reminder

Well I'm definitely wearing this outfit for the rest of the game

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

I knew the French JRPG was going to be French but it’s like two standard deviations more French than I was expecting.

Trump's anti-market economic worldview on display. He believes that spending money is a sign of weakness. This is the same logic as his claim that last week that the precipitous decline in shipping volumes at the country's ports is "a good thing, not a bad thing," because "we lose less money."/1

Gonna start an etsy business crafting bespoke boilerplates

No sir, I am not offering to bribe you to get out of this parking ticket, that would be corrupt bribery. I am merely offering to pay $200 for that half-eaten sandwich you are holding right now, an entirely different and non-bribe related payment that I have valued based on how incredibly hungry I am
