The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

A lot of people are bringing up that Frank Sinatra, a known mob artist, did not have good politics on many other things and it is the most annoying part of the internet that when I mention pancakes somebody turns up to yell at me about waffles

Have you read the (originally Reddit, I think) post and webcomic based on it, where Mr Rogers meets Thor and Mjolnir? (The original is at the bottom of the page.) mediachomp.com/thor-meets-m...

If you think pedestrians and cyclists, don’t particularly like sharing the road with drivers, wait till you meet other drivers. Drivers are probably the most anti-driver people out there.

“In 2023, cars and their drivers killed 8,820 American pedestrians and bicyclists — 7,314 pedestrians and 1,166 cyclists. They injured another 136,281, an increase of over 5,300 injuries from 2022.” Put the responsibility where it belongs. Via @jalopnik.bsky.social

Right now is the time to support primaries for any do-nothing Ds. We've got an incredible chance to win a bunch of seats in 2026. Let's fill them with fighters, not chumps.

Conflict between Border Patrol and a protester in Kenner, LA during Operation Catahoula Crunch. Sorry Bluesky sucks for video.

We started reporting this profile of @edzitron.com in July. Zitron's message has only grown more urgent since then. Read @harrymccracken.com's full story @fastcompany.com www.fastcompany.com/91448284/ed-...

People used to say, with great confidence, that variable renewables could never safely provide more than 5% of grid power. That estimate has crept up ever since, though the "great confidence" part never wavers. Anyway, about China ...

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

so none of what he’s saying is real btw

I’m just gonna say, I agree we need a better option than Amazon but can you not repost my books and tell people not to buy them off Amazon? Like wtf. I’m an indie author on disability. Fuck off.

Unbelievable. Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

As a retiring but still sitting member of the House, MTG has the opportunity to read into the public record documents that otherwise could not be released... and would be protected by the constitution's speech or debate clause from prosecution.

So much of American wealth is tied up in housing. And that is partly because housing scarcity makes it an appreciating asset. And in the US accumulating wealth disproportionately important for schooling and retirement and such. Thinking about what this looks like in Yimbytopia

Bless @sophiegilbert.bsky.social @theatlantic.com: "The past decade has been a gloomy lesson in how limited a proportion of men actually see women as equal human beings...The fish rots from the head. The pig is in the Oval Office." www.theatlantic.com/culture/2025...

It’s good to explain that the CDC is lying and vaccines still unequivocally do not cause autism, even if it just reaches one person on here who has doubts. But the fight is out there, not in here; and the time to let go of the information deficit model of science communication was decades ago

Could argue the misogyny Summers expressed both publicly while president of Harvard and in emails to Epstein says more about the culture at our most elite institutions than any of the frontpage freakouts over academia in the past few years but hey

This is who they are and who they have always been.

The truth will have its day. That day is now. Release all the Epstein files.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I'm gonna say something controversial but... I miss cable. I miss being able to put a channel on the TV and have it change shows. Even the commercials for some reason I miss. Like im missing out on society.

Journalists face challenges in reporting on climate interventions because the science is complex and the issues are often multifaceted. But the reporting should avoid sensationalism and try to present risks proportionately, help the public understand uncertainty, and avoid oversimplification.

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.

I love the Trump apologists who are like "be careful what you wish for. If the Epstein files come out, some of your people might get caught up in it." Really, so what you're saying is we could take out even more powerful pedophiles? Fuck yeah let's roll.

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

The Uninhabitable United States

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it. All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference. Tanks

“We’re afraid of walkable distances now?” I was one of the first to go after the liars & conspiracy theorists who targeted the “15 Minute Cities” message. Here’s my interview with Aussie National Radio with @greenj.bsky.social — give it a listen, and think about how we should push back on ALL lies.

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand a BIG reason why cycling [aka riding a bike] is so dangerous in North America, and one of the biggest villains in the origin story of our unsafe status quo, invest some time watching this one, by NOT JUST BIKES (aka @theurbanistagenda.com here). Then share it.

"When I’m in the city, I want the authentic New York experience—getting served a hot slice of pepperoni pie by a Turkish immigrant who commutes in from Pennsylvania because he can’t afford to live anywhere in the five boroughs."

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Movements run on momentum. Little wins turn into an ethos and shared purpose, then bigger wins and suddenly empires fall or lives improve. If this week showed how quickly a few wins can puncture Trump's "invincibility," this is a reminder of how fast "compromise" can plunge us back into despair.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

On Thursday, the driver of a commercial van struck and killed a woman in her 20s as he drove the wrong way on Morton Street. buff.ly/FGsYiHP

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to sources at FBI and DOJ that reviewed the Epstein files. It’s worse than the photos. I’ll let you know what they said today at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @meidastouch.com. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

This detail from the new @jewishcurrents.bsky.social article on the shenanigans at UCLA makes me think that all of these “centers” and “initiatives” to “combat antisemitism” that are quickly setting up shop on many campuses may be operating, knowingly or unwittingly as … extortion schemes. 1/2

OK, as promised, here's my thread about the links between tear gas/pepper spray and the arms trade and gun industry.

i think this is a pretty good take on pelosi, who is unquestionably one of the most consequential house speakers in the history of the institution

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."
