God bless these Swiss dudes and all the gynecologists advocating for less pain in gynecological procedures. I didn't pass out or vomit from IUD insertion, but it sure hurt like the dickens every time. And I *100% did not know* that those demon scissors on the left were being used inside my body.

the infallible court wizards are only demanding I sacrifice 40% of my children this year. feeling pretty good

Ruling against TPS for Haitians, the Trump justices on the Supreme Court have set a new impossible standard for proving discrimination against non-whites: if there is any other reason *in addition* to the racism, the racism doesn’t count www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Okay but What would YOUR totally gratuitous White House lawn event be, if YOU were the mad king of a dying superpower

The historian Gordon Wood, who died yesterday after being run over by a motorist in East Providence, was my dissertation advisor. He was 92. Here are some memories of him. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/gordo...

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

Here to appreciate the high-quality inside joke from this Treasury official in her goodbye.

It’s not the most pressing crisis this country faces but I cannot get over the fact that a qualification for being a top lawyer at the DOJ now is apparently being functionally illiterate. This shit reads like a seventh grader wrote it. What are we doing here man.

Tired: gerrymander extra House seats Wired: Massachusetts breaks up into 10 individual states, each with two Senators

Take it away, Yakko!

The Lubavitcher Rebbe lacks a plan to tackle inflation.

“Nathan Hansen, a right-wing attorney and influential X user who has amplified racist conspiracies and fringe legal theories, will make decisions on which immigrants will be deported in his new job as an immigration judge at Fort Snelling.”

historians are gonna have a hell of a time with all this. “Nobody was willing to change their lives or die for any of this but they did it anyway”

Trans rights, ending ICE, and freeing Palestine all got huge cheers at my local No Kings protest. These are mainstream positions for the Democratic electorate. The party needs to fucking catch up.

people, I am tired of repeating myself. re-file skulls when you're done with them. that means back in the skull filing cabinet. not on the cabinet, not near the cabinet, in the cabinet. we have a skull filing cabinet for a reason

Maybe I shouldn't be, but I'm surprised people take this Alpha School thing at all seriously. Does no one remember Rocketship or AltSchool or the other attempts at this digitally automated schooling? Time to re-up this from the AltSchool days. www.insidehighered.com/blogs/just-v...

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

I’m struggling with how to promote this one, so I’ll just say I hope you read it and that it makes you feel less alone.

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar
