Can’t wait til those chucklefucks convince people to quit vaccinating their pets for rabies.

Says a government who arrested hundreds of pensioners for holding sign opposing genocide. We are being run by fucking morons. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Oh look, Labour has spent months targeting the wrong voters.
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
Is it necessarily a dispute for the SC? Uninvited Texas National Guard puts people in the guard at risk of violating various Illinois state laws, leading to (choose one/some) weapons confiscation, arrest, conflict w/ local police, or ending up on a to-be-arrested-at-next-visit shit list.
Declaring victory after the first flu-is-worse winter feels a bit like Bush's "Mission Accomplished" to me, though it does seem better now. But we don't have enough history with this bug to know the long-term consequences of infection and some coronaviruses (e.g., Feline coronavirus) can be nasty.
I'm not at all sold on "mutated into a ... less dangerous version". The human population may have acquired enough immunity through repeated vaccination and infection, but that's a change in us, not the virus. It's also persistently hanging around in the sewage measurements, at least around Boston.
I’m sure it will never happen, but Illinois has gun control laws, and pretty sure an uninvited Texas national guard is not conforming to those.
Like, wow. 2nd Amendment Defenders really did the math and said “yep, all those dead school children and dead churchgoers and dead grocery shoppers and dead movie and concert attendees are ABSOLUTELY worth my bad faith argument about defending myself from an invasion by the federal government.”
I thought that was the word for kissing snakes.
This sure takes its time with the fact that he was specifically encouraging people to assault anyone they believe to be trans using the women's room
The millionaire CEO who stole a hat from a child at the US Open is, ultimately, indicative of the whole ruling class. This is what we’re up against, a small number of people and a system that will gladly and unapologetically steal from children and from all of us. www.jphilll.com/p/who-steals...
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
I don't understand why they are wasting time talking about it. Just do it. It's the least we can do, and it might just work.
Got bored, asked Diffusion Bee to draw 30 pictures of lips. In a billion-to-one-event, all 30 lips were women (also white women, also lipsticked and looking kinda collagen-injected). Or maybe the AI was trained on a biased sample.
2 weeks after being violently attacked & arrested. "Good job, Mayor Bowser. You're a Fascist, too.”
"The key to progressives winning is to stop being progressive" get the fuck out of my house you bootlicking appeasement peddler, we got a man to get into office in NYC and you're sucking up all the oxygen
but debilitating first, so he cannot pretend to president
Really disappointed in myself, that I did not think to turn zapping billionaires in the dick with a cattle prod into a business plan.
Gail Simone is a fictional character that is referenced in comics like these. She's very entertaining and so cheeky! You could never get away with what she says in real life, though.
This guy was America's Mayor
Firefighters have chainsaws with carbide-toothed chains, I figure two of those crappy doors and after that just cutting openings.
Rudy Giuliani absolutely did not try to shortchange a sex worker and then was pursued by her colleagues, don’t you dare suggest such a thing
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
I truly don't understand the evil calculation that you can throw trans people to the fascist mob & somehow prosper. You will never succeed in your cynical, too clever by half aims, you have already surrendered something essential. Imagine if the counteroffer to the Right was: nothing. Not one inch!
because that would be SOCIALISM – oh wait, what’s that you say? we’re buying government stakes in Intel, Nvidia, and US Steel?
if I had "fuck you" money, I'd get someone to build me a fully custom and open source ultimate cargo ebike glamping set up. titanium frame, with built in titanium locking cargo bays. built in solar panels. bunch of batteries. the bike itself could ground anchors, for.
Cyclists, don't forget to wear hi viz!

Yet another example of Trump's incompetence, I am not surprised.
Guess I'll need to transfer the pedal e-assist to the bike with the extra-low gearing.
Whether it's Barack Obama asking for dijon mustard or RFK Jr. asking for a vaccine ban that will kill hundreds of thousands of Americans, there have been unusual requests on both sides of the aisle.
You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"
The Trump administration can eat shit.
Hitler targets ethnic and religious minorities. Critics see big risks.
“Sun was unexpectedly both very bright and rising in the east, blinding one of the drivers, a random accident that could not have been predicted or prevented.”
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
“Mr. President, many people are saying that you were not rich or famous enough to go to Epstein Island. Any comment?”
“Mr. President, JD Vance says he’s ready to take over for you as soon as you die. Any comment?”
When Donald Trump drags me and my family into the gas chamber, at least I’ll be able to say that I was always non-partisan and gave him the benefit of the doubt.
This is like demanding Hitler fire Josef Mengele.
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
62% of younger deaths wouldn't have happened in any other wealthy country. And Reagan is literally to blame. www.vice.com/en/article/a...
Every night, I say a little prayer before I fall asleep.
Truth Art! #arresttrump #art
Dr. Tarek Loubani, who is in Gaza right now, was invited to give a talk to emergency workers about the attacks on health care facilities in Gaza. But he was instructed - get this - not to say who was doing the attacking. Take a look at how this hero of a human responded: vimeo.com/1112115018/c...
As a DC resident I feel like I should say: This is a complete and utter lie. My kid, under age 12, walked to school last year into an area close to downtown. Telling the truth is an important thing.
“The study authors asked GPT 4o-mini to evaluate the quality of 217 papers. The tool didn’t mention in any of the reports that the papers being analyzed had been retracted or had validity issues. In 190 cases, GPT described the papers as world leading, internationally excellent, or close to that”
A theory most logical people recognized as bullshit is continually confirmed as bullshit. Turns out repeat COVID infections are bad for you, and likely damage your immune system.
Bobby Brainworms wants to kill us with bullshit fake “health” woo.

Ghislaine Maxwell has asserted that she never saw the man she is hoping will spring her from a 20-year prison sentence “in any inappropriate setting” throughout the years he spent hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein.
“Obstruct, obstruct, obstruct.” “I’m really fed up with Democratic leadership.” “I don’t want to see @schumer.senate.gov sending another strongly-worded letter.“ “I want alternate hearings; profiling a person who’s dying because their Medicaid has been stripped away.” Yes! All of this.
Perfect. Those words the consultants say Dems should stop using? They don't use them. *Republicans* use them... in the process of saying that Dems use them.
The 80s are the new 50s. It's racist fake nostalgia, but with spiffy packaging so it's not overtly so.
Probably it's Tommy Chatty Billy.
We would be 1,500 years ahead if it hadn't been for the church dragging science back by its coattails and burning our best minds at the stake. ~ Catherine Fahringer
Cuomo's using "woke" like a gutter racist. This guy's just another Trumper. Destroy him at the polls, friends. Vote Mamdani and get everyone you know to vote for Mamdani.
I've been waiting for self-driving trucks to show up for real, because once there is no driver to pay, the speed/cost optimum changes. And because speed is part of risk, it may be the case that a lower speed is required to make the first self-driving trucks be viable.
using a vehicle that has a top speed that you might actually encounter. Here's how it's done: vimeo.com/1112579388
to doing this for cars was "but how would I change lanes if I could not speed up to pass?" I recently added an after-market e-assist to a cargo bike, torque sensing, I set the assist limit to the legal 20mph, and through the miracle of helmet-cam video, I can show people how to change lanes
So if they can speed-limit mostly-harmless e-scooters, why not cars? This was not protect-the-user speed restrictions, San Diego lowered the speed to you-can-barely-balance on their shared-use-path, because obviously there'd be blood everywhere if they didn't. One (of many) bullshit objections
Years ago, when rental e-scooters were a new thing, I was surprised to learn that GPS was cheap and reliable enough that one of the conditions of their deployment was also GPS-linked speed limits. My reaction, and I think a lot of other car-critical people's reactions, was "whoa, they can do that?"
From this angle, you can truly appreciate how one tiny bollard can stop the enormous and truly gross Cyber Truck. What a magnificent sight! #WorldBollardAssociation
Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".
“Yet”? Maher’s not good.
Oh, yeah, Ghislaine Maxwell is a modern-day Emily Post whose truthful and unbiased opinion on what's "appropriate" and "inappropriate" we must absolutely take to the bank.
The other fashy people told him, "Don't give away the game! Stop saying the strategy out loud! You'll ruin it! Be more sneaky!" And he's like, "🤔Why though? It still works every time! It doesn't matter that I telegraph the play. These fools can't help themselves. They will fall for it again."
“Trump’s DOJ said…” Shut the fuck up. Who cares what they said. They’re fucking criminals. They lie.

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.
Hitler sidesteps judicial norms with mass incarceration program.
So many things wrong with this, including the fact that there apparently was no fucking point to getting a Real ID after all
let your haters become taters in the chip bag of success
Unless he's patched a sew-up by the side of the road, ridden no-hands both on rollers and in the snow, and put 50k miles on non-e cargo bikes, I'm not sure he's worthy.
This is such an insane statistic that it's hard to understand. 40% of what is shipped is fossil fuels -- not 40% of things are shipped *by* fossil fuels. 40% of *what is being carried* is the fossil fuels themselves.
Don't forget that his former gig was scanning eyeballs for cryptocurrency.
I’m subverting the natural order, look at them and their cellphones and their unsupervised children, they deserve to get hit and hospitalized, it’ll teach them a lesson.
I'm praying for the mold, obviously. Hope it's okay
Face-palming is kind. That reads like "look at me wanking out some words".
For me it's a bit of both, plus a conviction that I shall not run into pedestrians, period, full stop, no matter what silly-ass thing they do, which means I do need to pay a bit more attention, especially near Harvard and most of the squares.

Isn't Cytochrome P450 involved in "don't take this medicine with grapefruit juice" in humans? I'm having a bit of a WTF.

My understanding is there was a lot of nudge-nudge-wink-wink at the point of sale. It’s also boneheaded to feed pets raw milk when bird flu is popping up in dairy herds; cats are apparently quite susceptible.
Here’s a suggestion for the other arm:

Putin is a mass murdering war criminal. The orange criminal fuck loves him. How in the ever loving fuck are so many stupid fucks in this country OK with this?
"but crime is a real issue, people are worried about crime and you have to take that seriously" No you don't! If people are getting more scared about crime while crime is happening less frequently, it's a made up issue and you should make a point of yelling that all the time
MAGA aren't republican, they are pro-monarchy, pro-oligarchy, and pro-autocracy. Supporting corruption and removing power from the people to concentrate it in the hands of a few wealthy and corporate entities and individuals is the opposite of republicanism. They are regressives.
On TikTok, whenever you see some unflattering images about China, there're always super motivational captions or soundtracks to trick the censorship. I repost these occasionally to warn people that dictatorship is not the solution to poverty. The stupid China fantasy needs to stop.
