Severance: Year Zero
CONTAINMENT BREACH RED ALERT GUMBY HAS ESCAPED
Not really prudent during a job search tbh
40% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine killed more people than the COVID virus. One in four believe that QAnon is real. No matter how far they radicalize, we are told over and over again that the people being rude to them are the problem.
It’s honestly the only place I get ads now
We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
"You are not more powerful than Twitter’s algorithm." This is it. This is the whole ballgame. I do not understand how people don't get this.
Depends on who you have to eat though

rare good news! @teenvogue.com Arkansas is the 2nd-most climate vulnerable state: extreme heat, tornadoes, and low investment in climate adaptation from its Republican legislature—not to mention home to Walmart's Walton family and Tyson Foods. these young ppl launched a group to make the fight fun
BREAKING: A federal judge ruled Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles broke the Posse Comitatus Act...barring the military from domestic policing. Order limits troop roles in CA; stayed until Sept. 12 pending appeal. Confirmed by AP and Reuters
Someone asked me why sharks stick their dorsal fins out of the water. The answer is simple. Sharks’ dorsal fins stick out of the water sometimes because their fins are on top of and therefore higher than the rest of their body, and sometimes their body is near the surface of the water.
My guy wrote an op-ed and it's really good. Send it to your advancement officer, your dean, your grandmother, your neighbor. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/02/o...
The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.
Because you can’t and you won’t and you don’t stop
Anyone else getting group texts with weird fonts and various investment scheme garbage?
New from 404 Media: here's how OnlyFans piracy is ruining the internet for everyone. Companies that file takedown requests for adult creators are targeting the wrong sites/services. We know because we got hit with one, removing our unrelated article from Google www.404media.co/how-onlyfans...
He looks fine
Amazing that Bluesky sees this as adult content
🌊 In 2023, the ocean carbon sink weakened for the first time in a record-hot year 🌡️🌎 Our new study in Nature Climate Change quantifies this unexpected decline and explains how it came about. 👇 doi.org/10.1038/s415...
Join the next phase of #The89Percent Project: We're asking partner journalists and newsrooms to cover to the 80-89% of people in the world who want their gov'ts to do more to address climate change: Who are they, why do they care, are they surprised to learn they’re the overwhelming majority? 🧵
Good conversation with my old friend Chris Hardwick about the DCU, Peacemaker, Superman, and life. Link: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/j...
Learning and task solving strategies aren't the same as immutable abilities; the conflation of the two bothers me a lot because it creates a worldview in which any learning loss is irredeemable and people who face adversity are punished for inevitably suffering its effects.
This is great reporting on what's happening in one county in western Nebraska, one where I've spent a lot of time, as people watch ICE raids and deportations in other places and expect it will get to Chase County sooner or later. So much better than NYT-style stories on rural places and politics.

Damn. Pour one out for one of the most influential animation institutions of all time. Check out ROCK & RULE for a wild time, but here is a cartoon of theirs I always like to spin up during spooky season: THE DEVIL AND DANIEL MOUSE.

I can't sit for too long cuz of my back
Anecdotal evidence is my favorite, so I'll pile on. I drove back from Nashville, TN last night and passed 2 CB's and the parking lots were packed. People still like to eat Uncle Herschel's ass biscuits.
This is why I found it so funny the ivys and snob schools rolled over so fast and got double fucked for doing it. These are the same people getting duped putting 50 grand in a shoebox. Rich and priveleged Americans are the easiest people to scam and bully because they've never deal with it before.
what's wild is 3 miles down the road you'll see 4 billboards with zombies on them talking about Jesus will protect you from zombies, for real
What about THESE?
I thought they ate lips
Too often, this is true. State leaders prioritize buisness over their own voters. But, it's a false choice. Supporting workers is best for local communities, local economies, and - in the long run - local businesses. Reporting from @ncnewsline.com ncnewsline.com/2025/09/01/n...

A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.
film flubs: in the movie spartacus (1960), several different characters identify themselves as spartacus. this scene was mistakenly left in the final cut of the film
I read the news today oh boy
We warned legislators and regulators this would happen. We showed them data on consumer non-compliance and the surge in VPNs and pirate sites. They knew this would happen didn’t care.
There are just under 12 hours left to vote in this year's Tiny Awards! Small, fun, beautiful and occasionally-pointless websites, and a pleasing rebuttal to anyone who thinks everything online is rubbish in 2025: tinyawards.net/vote/
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

We have an extraordinary example of someone who is a unifier beyond expectation right now, and it's Zohran Mamdani. He does not throw anyone under the bus. The most important thing he did? Listen to what has people most upset. Propose policy that met those needs.
BREAKING: The Newest season of the hit show “Love Island USA” will feature the Imperial Japanese Battleship Yamato attempting to beach herself as part of Operation Heaven. The Yamato joins F4U Corsairs, SBC2 Helldivers, and F6F Hellcats for what will undoubtedly be an exciting season.
I’m reading Pomerantsev’s book, How to Win an Information War, and this weird beef council ad from the 1970s makes a lot more sense in light of grievance politics and the burst of fascism in the USA
They still haven't released the Epstein documents.

First there’s the guy renting a shed (pretty sure that’s not legal), and then I thought I’d scroll down for more photos but I got these … ads? I guess knoxville is still scruffy
I simply must tell you that the Great Britain team has a guy named Harry Hole and they did their 2024 routine by Dragula by Rob Zombie. youtu.be/VbBn0Hkn5_0?...
