This is a perfect sentence, especially without context. “ One camper said the pig drank all 18 beers, then got involved in an altercation with a cow.”

People who refuse to swim in circles when there are four people in the lane at the Y just endorsed Andrew Cuomo. So did the people who don't tip Uber drivers because they've already paid.

The Clang. The Not-so-Specials.

This one - from Gov Bob Ferguson to Pam Bondi- equally worthy of praise.

Virginia Woolf. The navel-gazing, the competitive use of adjectives, the dreariness.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

This is a battle that has been going on ever since Google came out with Google Translate. Machine translation has no nuance, no humanity, no creativity. Like AI prose, in fact. We see it all the time in subtitles.

A nuanced discussion of British English.

Except pigs as well. A pig, anyway. And coupla dogs.

Rather than comparing what's happening in the US to 1930's Germany, maybe compare it to what's happening in Turkey right now. Duly-elected president, previously stable(ish) democracy sliding into autocracy & kleptocracy, with a strong fundamentalist streak. There's a reason trump likes erdogan.

I'd like to bring this post to the attention of @therestpolitics.bsky.social.

Tout ça (gestures wildly) c'est du n'importe quoi.

Deeply concerning news about our friend and former BF teammate Rebecca Burke whose backpacking trip to the US has ended with her being detained by ICE for over ten days, with no clear timeline for her release. Please read her father's statement here: www.facebook.com/paulrburke

I've seen a lot of stuff over the past days "proving" that the election was stolen. This is a trap. What are we? MAGA? We are where we are today. We can't win over the proverbial base. ALL our efforts should go towards standing up for the vulnerable and finding people to make common cause with.

Astounding. It seems extraordinary that this has been released.

I think we can safely say that any complacency we might have shown up until January 20th is now dissipated.

Dear Europe, Trump completely melts under pushback. So push back.

A small thing but worth doing.

This administration is the abuser in an abusive relationship, and that is why I have been feeling so cowed. Sadly, that is what I learnt. But after several years I have unlearnt it, and this morning I thought, fuck that, I'm not going to be cowed no more. I'm going to go out and have me some fun.

Please do me a favor and repost or quote post the below (especially if you’re in the LA area)

The world would be a better place if everybody listened to Tom Lehrer at least once a day.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Not that this matters to anyone except me, but I am taking a week off all social media and most news sources, starting tomorrow. Much as I love lots of stuff here, I don’t think it’s a healthy place to spend so much time.

Pack your bags, Steve. We're moving to Scotland.

Now that Twitter is dead and TikTok is limited, maybe it’s a good opportunity, young persons, to leave your phones and throw parties that old people can’t gatecrash, to build a culture that political parties can’t colonise, and to enjoy new ideas that corporations can’t milk for cash.

The nitty-gritty of the Hamas/Israeli negotiations. It sounds like while the US had a lot to do with them, obviously, including both administrations, the key events pushing this were the collapse of Hezbollah and the Assad regime. Regional actors. How not surprising. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Good morning 😊

trump is going to take credit for the Israeli/Hamas peace deal just announced and that makes me f***ing furious.

Truth & Lies. Mix Musk's interventions with Starmer's unpopularity, is it possible to separate the truth from the lies? (Strong language and adult themes.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R19...

Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Myanmar, German elections, Austrian government, Orban, many many other things and people. Just saying - these be happening too.

My goodness there's a lot of busty women with numerical handles following me all of a sudden. What's up with that?

We wanted to understand the significance of Donald Trump's felony sentencing. So we talked to three unemployed Jeanine Pirro fans at a White Castle in Toms River.

I have decided that from now on I will no longer refer to the President and Vice-President by their dead names. They are, as we all know, President Ellen Musk and Vice-President Donna Trump.

The Trump-Vance embrace of Daniel Penny isn't just about "law and order" — it's white identity politics. A defense of a racial hierarchy where Penny can kill a Black man on a train and face no consequences. They're reminding us they want to preserve this status quo.
