Before COVID we didn’t even know a virus causes multiple sclerosis. They just figured out how it does it. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
do not listen to people like this. image manipulation is a fake image. there is no 2005 scifi movie "computer: enhance" extra zoom on an image that was blurry to begin with, that's made up, this shit is fake
The number of people in fiction who neglect to charge a dead phone is like to give me anxiety.
This is a lie on an absolutely colossal scale - the figures show that tariff revenue has increased by $20 billion/month - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... would take over 30 years to reach $8 trillion at this rate
Waking every morning looking for the obituary. *sigh* Why can't anything good happen?
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
It feels like cheating but I have my sim running a pottery studio on her farm, and the activities for customers are to buy pottery, care for the animals, and care for the garden. She's just sitting inside, making pottery and smiling.
Let’s see. Who should I trust? My own doctor, 1,000’s of scientists, & researchers. Or someone who thought using heroin for 12 years was one of the best things he could have done, swam in a sewage polluted creek with his grandkids, had a brain worm, has no actual medical training. Tough call.
it’s hard to overstate: -how beneficial vaccines are -how massively overwhelming the evidence is showing no link between vaccines and autism -how impossible it is that RFK will somehow “find the cause” (at all, let alone in his first year) -how much RFKjr want to get rid of childhood vaccines
Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
IDK, I see a man who believes whatever the last person told him.
I can't wait to find out why this statement is so bizarre.
The fuck was that first paragraph for?
Some people make me want to believe in hell.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
I send a loaf of homemade sourdough with my husband to give to someone whenever he goes to church and I'm really popular among people I don't know.
this is my favorite thing anyone has ever called woke. processed white sandwich bread, which is less than 100 years old, is some how more traditional than sourdough, which has existed for millennia. which has flavor because it is…natural? and is irregularly shaped because it is…handmade?
honestly ?? I’ll take this. If we don’t take it, we end up with less healed and changed people. Less allies. It doesn’t make sense not to just say “ alr, thanks for live laugh learning Snoop Dogg” in my humble bisexual and transgender opinion
Israel is approximately the size of NJ and Delaware.
Not criticizing, just sayin. It's impressive.
Woulda been a necessary statement if that was the bible.
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
Where do you even go with people who refuse to live in our reality?
Joe Biden’s no longer president so the media has moved on from caring about such things Much like inflation and budget deficits
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa
I remember Hillary did Pokemon Go stops at her campaign events.
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
The news hasn't been good for my mental health this week, so I've been checked out. I'm almost afraid to ask. Did I miss anything good?
This week's comic, inspired by a study showing that AI summaries on top of search results are dramatically cutting traffic to websites.
Liberals getting excited about Gavin Newsome feels like a person who keeps settling for shitty boyfriends. Like girl, you can do better for yourself - stop thinking you can’t do better. There is a guy out there for you. Look, your bestie New York City found a great guy and she’s had so many bad exs.
Happy 'greatest correction ever' day to all who celebrate

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
Too late. The white people have seen it.
Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness. On a plane, I want a pilot. In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence. Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data. Ignore it and we all pay the price.
🤣
My thoughts exactly. 😝
🥰 Thankfully, though she cost me a bit of money to do something I'd always intended but never bothered to get to, in return, the HOA now has to replace my back fence. As she's new to the board, I'm sure the less medlesome long-term members will not be thrilled. 😈
She coulda left me alone...
From the typos, I feel strongly about this.
Honestly, I've avoided bringing up that fence because I have nostalgic memories about it, but it's falling apart so,🤷♂️.
I've not even cared about this HOA for 15 fucking years, and some new busybody has to come in and make and issue of somethingno one cared about for 10 years, and suddenly I'm a petty bitch getting my revenge. Guess I have too much free time.
lol Laura Ingraham thinks this is a real cover
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize trans people has completely lost touch with the common humanity."
Kilmar Abrego Garcia wasn’t eligible for asylum because it had been more than a year since he entered the country. So Kristi Noem allowed him to reenter again this year, resetting the clock. He has now applied. Kristi is smart that way.
He is wrong on the facts. 1. The data is clear, VBM benefits Democrats electorally and it remains true. Rejected mail ballots skew Democratic as well. 2. Strict photo ID laws also disadvantage Democrats, particularly young voters and those in urban areas. Again, this is data not opinion.
There was no going back after January 6, 2021, when political perpetrators made a violent attempt to overthrow the government. If Trump has his way, other cities may soon feel what that’s like. trib.al/wiX7kbo
"Soft on crime" is such a stupid phrase anyway.
Signs that Trump’s policing surge is meeting resistance in DC — grand juries refusing to issue indictments, an extraordinary rebuke — magistrate judges criticizing arrests as a relying on “illegal” tactics and lacking “basic human dignity” by @rizzotk.bsky.social + Mike Laris
Sorry, I see the perfect platform for a squirrel, and you're not using that part, ergo the squirrel has squatters rights. --Real Squirrel lawyer
Im no designer or visually crafty, but I wanted a fairy garden. The bricks are from my great-grandmother's house, the standing crystals were my grandma's, my daughters bought several elements for me, and the seashells were found by my husband.
Bank robber warns that if he has to compensate EVERY person he stole from, it would financially ruin the bank robbery industry.
Companies that require you to sign into an account before you can unsubscribe from their emails should be shut down forever. I didn't sign up for these emails and I'm not going to create a new account just to get these emails to stop. I'd just rather block you into my spam folder.
What an image (J. Scott Applewhite, AP)
FUCK YEAH SCIENCE arstechnica.com/science/2025...
"do you have the right to your own body" is one of the fundamental questions when dealing with fascism. Fascists answer no. If you also find yourself answering no to things like transgender freedom & abortion, then at minimum you don't have the path out of fascism worked out.
This imagery is the kind of thing you see in video games to let you know you’re in a totalitarian city or country.
And how would commas have conveyed the sense of runaway anxiety, hmmm?
If you want to test how bitterly it is possible to argue with your spouse navigating a hectic college campus with poor signage and multiple blocked roads where your map function isn't working and there's empty nest emotional baggage is a great way to find out
Ahhh, we've gotten to be old hands at this. I helped move our youngest into her senior dorm by my fucking myself.
Pippin!
Is there anything better than watching a baby dreaming of nursing, or a puppy dreaming of running?
"When you're the president, they let you do it."
He's literally become Don Quixote.
This perfectly describes both the Trump presidency and the Republican Congress. The only true thing he said today.
FUCK ME DO NOT DESCRIBE TRUMP'S PLANS IN THE HEADLINES WITHOUT NOTING THEY ARE ILLEGAL.
You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.
Hey, an animated version of Weston Wei's delightful cover of my forthcoming novel The Subtle Art of Folding Space. Off-kilter physics! A deadly family! A decision no one should have to make. Also, a lot of food. Coming April 7, 2006. Preorder now! torpublishinggroup.com/the-subtle-a...
What I'm looking for in the 2028 primary is someone who will put Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem in jail, and so far, that's Pritzker
This article just reminded me of this old tweet
As part of the agreement, CBS has to retroactively declare that its initials stand for "Cucked Broadcasting Network"
In the Corporation Rim, everything has to be owned by someone.
The whisper of air from a waving chad that started the hurricane...
New BSky game just dropped - pick your date for the Fall of the American Republic.
Honestly it's all been downhill since the Pilgrims came ashore.
“It is to be hoped that the leaders of this movement, the Nazis, will place the nation above the party” - Franz von Papen (1932)
Hey remember ten seconds ago when SCOTUS was allowing Trump to fire everyone except - because they have 401(k)s too - except very specifically the Fed board? Like they went out of their way to say, "he can fire everyone, except THESE people upon whom our wealth depends." Aaaaand here we are.
I thought I should add some Alt text to this important message. It's Mr. Rogers, saying the following as he draws some random thing: "I'm not very good at it, but it doesn't matter. It's the fun of doing it that's important. No matter how anybody says it is, it feels good to have made something."
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
AI “investors have been expecting record returns for their expenditures…” But NINETY-FIVE PERCENT (95%) of companies are getting ZERO return on artificial intelligence — “despite investing billions” www.newyorker.com/news/the-fin... @johncassidysays.bsky.social @newyorker.com
It's really fucked up the news media at large is searching so hard for humanity in machines, while systematically denying humanity to Palestinians, trans people, immigrants, and other persecuted people
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
Not to worry. Many countries survive without shipments from these countries. For instance, North Korea.
I mean it, fellow Americans: call your reps about this. It seems small in the short run, but this is going to fuck up businesses, especially small ones, big time.
I bet he'd get a Nobel Peace Prize if he kicked the bucket.
Fascism is staring us all in the face but the media are averting their eyes.
Tim Walz : trans rights are human rights JB Pritzker : we’re taking names of all you fuckers and coming after you Gavin Newsom : lol my pr firm made another meme while i guest starred on another right wing podcast
Finished this yesterday, it was beautiful and hard and wonderful. Its like someone wrote me a very specific love letter but also everyone I know should read it because they will feel the same way. The stuff about moming together, the allure of the law and MAN this nails the feeling of spell work.
Abraham Lincoln was a messy bitch who lived for drama
I canceled them ages ago but my sub had just renewed, so I've had access for nearly a year since then. They make it easier and easier to quit them.
The transformation of the Washington Post editorial page appears to be complete.
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
