Pediatric Brain Cancer Group to Lose Federal Funding. A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
Every single one of Iowa's US Representatives supports this.
People love to denigrate bureaucrats, but that’s because they don’t understand that the system is so much better and efficient than the patronage style systems that bureaucracy replaced. Trump is trying to take us back to the government of the 17th Century. Those governments got crushed.
I know it’s not “treason” but I think the deal Democrats should cut with Trump is: he resigns, leaves the county, turns over all his ill-gotten gains and lives whatever is left of his squalid life in whatever shithole will have him and we don’t hang him for treason.
I think a lot of people assume that fixing all kinds of societies’ problems can be easily done forget just how “on hard mode” some people are playing life. Lots of people having trouble aren’t really evil, they are painfully complicated for themselves and others.
I’ll play them the Gourds cover of Gin n Juice and let them wonder.
Joni Ernst voted to strip healthcare from 100,000 Iowans and brushed off Medicaid cuts saying, “we all are going to die.” That’s not leadership—it’s failure. Iowans deserve better.
Here’s better reporting about that which seems to be missing from most U.S. reporting
Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."
The market seems to have the same kind concept of object permanence and causality as your average meth head stealing catalytic converters does.
between this and Not Like Us it’s been a rough couple years
I am unhip so it took me a sec, but this one is a winner.
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
The Admech model range has been really good, really has the vibe of the early game art.
Spending all that money and still being surprised that garbage in garbage out is a thing …… it seems like AI has huge potential, but so many investors see it as a Midas mill instead of “it can help us make sense of carefully curated inputs”
Translation: Trump says he’s increasing your electricity prices.
I think when “real Americans” are back in power and the Nazis are running scared again we should take all the statues of confederates off of federal property, melt them down and cast a stature of a black and white union soldier driving a stake through the heart of the vampire of slavery.
Imporant ICE tip.
I’m hearing a little “Well, this administration is made of of bullies and cowards and we all know they don’t like any *actual risk or work” too,
I hope that whenever these thugs show up in public jeering crowds gather to yell reminders that they are oath breakers and that they are trying to hide from the fact that they are sexually disappointing, let that shit echo in their ears as they try to sleep. Don’t give them an ounce of respect.
Psst - Democrats... an elected representative from your party is being held in the Texas Capitol against her will by the opposition party. Her name is Nicole Collier. You might want to get on that.
Do bulkers ever suffer from dust explosions the way grain elevators can? I live out in grain elevator and it’s scary how dangerous something as seemingly innocuous as dust can be.
Even I my small rural hospital (which has the only ER in a 40ish mile radius the number of doctors who are first generation immigrants is very high and we are lucky to have them. Why are they going to want to come to the US if these racists make it plain immigrants aren’t wanted? Bad in so many ways
I wonder if Nvidia getting pumped up first on the crypto bubble then immediately after that the AI bubble is going to lead to some kind of massive cratering of its stock price or some new hotness will keep the gpu demand high.
I honestly feel like they feel empowered to do this where gun ownership is much lower. Eventually someone is going to stand their ground.
Seems suspect to be ramping up enforcement of a type of crime that is falling to historic lows while ignoring all the cyber which seems to be growing
Just heard a gaming friend I hadn’t seen in about 18 months attempted suicide and is lying brain dead in the hospital. Smart, funny and great to have as a player at the table. Fair winds and following seas John
"So that heroin shipment I was tracking before they pulled me for this shit was supposed to arrive in port yesterday"
I hope that any medical professional these people go to only prescribe the bullshit that they espouse. People who would take away modern medicine from others don’t deserve it for themselves? Having a heart attack, have some brandy, best we can do. Got a case of VD? Have some mercury pills.
Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…
Fire all the administrators who suggest this. They lack the skills to even understand what business they are in.
Signed my own skip letter like I did back in high school
As someone with a deep and abiding love of terrible cars, this man is a national treasure.
They could, you know, raise requirements and pay…. Just saying that in life it seems like you generally get what you pay for.
“This is the airlock we will throw you out if you remove your shoes and put your feet on the seat” should be part of the safety briefing.

All this lawlessness in DC, is he talking about himself and all the people in his coterie that he keeps pardoning for murders and insurrection and fraud? Because it seems like the call is coming from inside the (White) House.
No, I haven’t. It must have been a lot to get people to internalize. I’ll check it out.
Even though I have no time in defense, I know that education is a defense imperative. The Army spent a lot of time and money teaching my grandfather the math he didn’t get before he dropped out of middle school. After that he could become a pilot and B-29 flight engineer.
Two of the best things we have done as a species are to domesticate dogs, and to start putting outfits and hats onto cats who apparently domesticated themselves.
The winning message going forward is "Take their shit and make them pay" Take back everything they took from us. Every fucking dime. Rebuild every thing they took from us, making them pay for it. And things that can't be brought back with money? Make them pay for that too...
We need to be broadcasting that loud and clear. People that think they can take advantage of this to enrich themselves are going to hurt badly when we claw it all back.
Faine!I wish you joy of your prodigious weirdos. as Stephen Maturin would say.
A hunger strike at a South Florida immigration detention center state officials have named “Alligator Alcatraz” enters its tenth day, as detainees protest what they call inhumane and dangerous living conditions.
At a quick glance I thought this was from the “Raccoons every hour” account I follow.
Motherfucking wind farms…
You're going to start hearing a lot of talk about moving in to crypto as a way to bypass payment processors and what I need all of you to understand is that Anybody Saying This Is Trying To Scam You. They Have Potentially Millions Of Dollars In Crypto They Can't Cash Out Unless You Buy It From Them.
Reverse Dylan energy.
85% of young men support Zohran Mamdani. 79% of young women support Zohran Mamdani. 67% of Jewish people aged 18-44 support Zohran Mamdani. 65% of Black people aged 18-44 support Zohran Mamdani. Would you have guessed *any* of that with how the media has covered all this?
I feel like surely, the cheeseburgers will catch up with him before they finish the refit on that plane. I’ve been rooting for cheeseburgers for so long it seems.
Hat looks like it’s brother does some sorting.
I feel so conflicted on the one hand I don’t want to whitewash any Nazi ideology on the other hand we really do need words that hit hard. You need something that says “I am using this language on this person *instead of beating them to death with a rock like they so richly deserve.
The former CEO of My Faith Votes, a prominent conservative Christian activist, has pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography. My Faith Votes was founded in 2015 to mobilize millions of conservative Christians to vote in elections.
I wish you further success
@nameshiv.bsky.social ‘s mom and dad is how I found out.
Some professional news: After more than a decade of columnizing at The Washington Post, I'm taking the buyout. This is my last column. It is my advice to any other lucky pundits who land a perch like this -- with 11 principles I've aspired to, even if I haven't always achieved them: wapo.st/3TU2fGw

Yesterday, we announced the recall of 5 million above ground pools. Please check to see if yours is on the list: cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025...
FYI for those who don't know: NBA players have in their contract that the players (ie LABOR) gets 50% of all basketball related income. WNBA players get ~9%.
"Noting that in this last segment, we have basically talked through the Velvet Revolution, the Civil Rights movement, Hot Girl Summer, fast fashion, @chenoweth.bsky.social and the Arab Spring." #Onbrand @sirenspod.bsky.social analysis on political protest podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...
Oh my god yes, they are so cheeky. “what is this CRAP!!?” “Buy the seed with the happy SQUIRREL on the bag! Not the one with the stupid cardinals!”
Sometimes I think rationalizing animal reactions isn’t so much anthropomorphizing them as animalizing us. Like all the creatures that evolved on earth have a somewhat “from the old neighborhood” personality. And we all share some of the same quirks. I didn’t explain it well.
I occasionally will go on a Zeppelin hiatus for six months or so and then my library will randomly kick some Zep out and it will hit me as hard as it did when I first discovered it back in ‘85 riding in that blue A1 Golf with my cool aunt. Still just like fucking magic.
this is literally the guiltiest anyone has ever been in the history of the world
For those just waking up: last night Republicans voted against an amendment put forward by Democrats that would have forced the public release of all the Epstein files
I think the citizens of LA should demand that their police stop cooperating with these thugs and start making sure ICE has to follow every syllable of the law instead. If the cops aren’t interested in doing that, start firing cops, if the mayor and council aren’t willing, get rid of them too.
ladies and gentlemen, the weekend.
Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com
A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
Ordinary Americans are about to find out that there was a vast network of people doing jobs that make modern life possible.
Like they are going to pull the mask off the villain and find that the villain is themself. It must be tiring to always be afraid you’re living in a twilight zone episode.
In case you were wondering what several of the pages in a FAA FOIA req response on GlobalX look like.
I don’t know where you live friend, but it can 1000 percent happen there too. There are no doubt folks watching this getting big ideas about “the homeland for the real homelanders” in your country right now.
Has anyone seen any other news reports about the lack of FEMA response in Texas/Richardson being MIA?
Local government is super important and we have let way too many people into it that are more interested in advancing an agenda rather than working for the good of their neighbors.
Maybe the question for “job creators” is how come 44% of Medicaid recipients are working full time, but make so little money that they are eligible for Medicaid?
I think that news sources holding other news sources feet to the fire can only be a good thing.
Damn, wish I was out there, have a good time!
It’s a really low end “cheese” but melted on a burger or chili fries it’s fantastic. Just throwing a slice unmelted on fries is like a crime against god and nature. It’s like trying to prove the French disdain for British culture right.
I feel like if the AF could modify the weather they would be the most popular branch of the service because all their bases would be like paradise year round.
So would Greene’s weather modification bill affect hydrocarbon emissions?
Local residents should absolutely be calling the mayor and their city council person and saying they want the PD to be on the side of local citizens and if they PD isn’t willing to do that fire the chief if police and replace them and keep doing it until the cops understand who they work for.
If you've lost power due to flooding or severe storms in your area and are using a portable generator to keep the power on, make sure it is running outdoors and at least 20ft away from your home/shelter. Never run it indoors. Generators can produce deadly levels of carbon monoxide in minutes.

I’ll assume you’re a St Petersburg trollop and block your ass, because that shit is of no use to anyone but Putin.
Absolutely, but here’s the thing, there isn’t anything special about Americans. We are just everyone from everywhere else in the world gathered in one place. Everywhere in the world there are shitty racist people, no surprise they are here too. There is no way to say “shitty people can’t vote”
Fuck this meme and fuck this sentiment. America has spent most of its existence failing its marketing materials, but there are a *lot of Americans who have always believed in moving America towards them. Me hating America would be like me hating my mom because she got taken in by a charlatan.
I think part of the problem people are having is that a. Every day we are living in the trolley problem, and the difference between real threats and chums talking shit is pretty blurry and boils down to this administration is fascist and lawless and will charge anyone with anything they want.
Kyiv this morning
Flawless
In an effort to make today slightly less terrible, here is a photo of BJ and Judy next to a canister of oats for scale
I’ve spent the last couple of years driving 500,000 miles for work and existing on a podcast diet of History of Rome, Revolutions, and the Age of Napoleon and that’s allowed me to experience the last 6 months with a growing incandescent rage and sense of dread. We’re governed by traitors.
No hardware or standard naming convention has ever gone as hard as Ultra Fast, Ultra Wide.
A few weeks ago, an important — and largely private — chapter in my life ended; I’m incredibly thankful to @lawfaremedia.org for giving me a forum to write the next one.
