Why is this student so upset about the mushroom, though? What could it have done to make her protest across the whole continent

The Mississippi AG says police are justified for killing a baby because someone thought his mother shoplifted diapers that she paid for. The police have refused to release body cam footage. Fuck everything about this story.

This retired tuxedo pilot I met pined for the old days of air travel when you could get a decent meal on a flight, and everyone dressed up.

Diagnosed. Mort here shares the hottest gossip about all the neighbors, as long as you play Stringy with him.

I usually don't angry post but,

Perfect. I deleted everything and convinced Amazon I’m a pika.

Shanah Tovah, New York! Wishing all Jewish New Yorkers celebrating a sweet, joyful and meaningful Rosh Hashanah. Here’s to a new year filled with health, happiness and blessings (and yes, even another Knicks championship).

Horrific though unsurprising report from @propublica.org: Ectopic pregnancy deaths have basically doubled since the end of Roe

Another reason I wish my dad were still alive: he would have been delighted by this.

“Bel was a varsity soccer player for Springfield City School District…He was on the National Honor Society and a member of the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps”. He was a legal immigrant, and MAGA couldn’t tolerate his excellence, so now he’s dead.

THREAD. 3 & 1/4 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he'd been living, in rural Cornwall, & decided he wanted to live with us instead. We decided to call him Jim. This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st 2022

Admirable clarity @science.org

AI “training” is offering the illusion of control and mastery by displacing awareness of how it is being integrated into civic institutions to the disadvantage of people with an illusory self-awareness of “appropriate” use. It’s just a form of on-boarding. 3/n

How about when he threw an angry tantrum in defense of a SCOTUS nominee credibly accused of rape? Did you all have a good collegial chuckle over that?

Trump Expected to Destroy More of the Country as Soon as Monday

Five facts that you should know about the current Cyclospora outbreak.

BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

The contrast between the response when we lose to Rs (we must listen, adjust, compromise) and when we lose to lefties (we must fortify, decry, marginalize) is so disappointingly telling.

Fascism's a fever you break with shit like what happened in New York last night. Create more excuses to feel things like that together.

Someone asked which muppet is most out of pocket on Sesame Street in the wake of the Knicks win. While there are lots of good answers, we actually have photographic evidence for this one

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

With its first championship in 53 years, New York City finally has a shared experience that is good, gleeful and uncomplicated.

The Knicks victory is generating so much passion and excitement that if it ran in a primary election, Establishment Democrats would not support it.

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

He had to wait to become a team exec to do it, but Patrick Ewing is finally an NBA champion.

going to laugh forever about the Knicks only losing the Trump Game immaculate scriptwriting, no notes

I think this is what NYC must have felt like during the events seen in the documentary Ghostbusters

I live less than a mile from a hospital and do you know what I think when I hear a helicopter? “I hope they will be okay.” And then I think how grateful I am for modern medicine.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

In case you need a reminder of where your tax dollars are primarily going...

Is the fact that the Iran war wasn’t congressionally authorized something we no longer talk about? Seems like the reporting/discussion now just assumes that Trump can just do whatever he wants wrt the use of force

Two weeks to remove him. Now.

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you

Authoritarians offer people an origin story for their pain, to beat them you must counter it with truth: If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all the money. Hard part? Putting forth policies that piss off your donors to show you mean it.

Good morning. Still basking in yesterday’s court win blocking RFK Jr.’s unlawful overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule. If anyone ever makes a coffee table book of judges elegantly dunking on this admin, we want a copy ☕📚

"Your steadfast commitment to our strategic mission, despite the multiple tramplings, maulings, and other encounters we shall henceforth refer to as 'terminal networking opportunities' has not gone unnoticed." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/a-m...

We are awarding $2.5 million of Climate Commitment Act funds to 15 community-based and Tribal organizations. Funds will promote the health of communities disproportionally impacted by the harmful consequences of climate change and support environmental justice. doh.wa.gov/newsroom/doh...

Thanks to the @wsdot.wa.gov employee who helped me out when I had an emergency with an overheated engine on Saturday on I-5 and had to pull over. He helped me get safely off the road to a weigh station to call a tow. Turns out a poor bird had gotten into a coolant hose somehow and died there.

I wrote about the new Muppet Show, which is, thank God, exactly like the old Muppet Show.

It’s not fair that Icelandic gets letters like ð and þ AND has amazing words like this.

Happy Marmot Day! Maybe someday the Washington State Legislature will make the switch from Groundhog Day official, like Alaska did. #marmotday #marmot

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?
