And now back to my full time job, texting the word "stop" to every living Democrat.

Apparently Jim Bakker was still alive, which is news to me

Remember how upset they got about Obama’s tan suit, etc etc…

“We need more leopards to stop them from eating our faces,” says the guy who sells baby leopards.

The Efficiency of Moisture Evaporators in Desert Climate

This piece was fascinating, getting at a point I'd never considered: bin-Laden's entire concept about what 9/11 would do to America was just... wrong. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Should we all start taking shifts to keep an eye on Carol Burnett and Julie Andrews? Who’s in? I’ll take the first watch.

The 5 Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most off the top of my head 1. Put it in H! 2. Earned my treat 3. Grease me up, woman! 4. Don’t cry for me, I’m already dead 5. And here come the pretzels!

Any dog can be a guide dog if you don't care where you're going.

Here’s the thing about Christ’s return. Christ said specifically that he would return as the naked, the hungry, the thirsty, the prisoner, the immigrant. Jesus has never stopped coming back. American Christians have never stopped killing him.

There are more cops facing current investigations and punishment for using flock cameras and the tracking network than there are trans kids in sports. Just a data point.

SNAP has an outstanding ROI: every dollar we invest in SNAP generates $1.54 in economic activity. With SNAP cuts, people can’t continue to support these local grocers, so local businesses suffer. Everyone loses.

Yes, things are still awful. But it is so much fun watching my hometown lose their collective minds over LeBron coming to Philly.

so gender-affirming care then

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

The original Toy Story movies made kids (and adults) want to go home and play with their toys. Toy Story 5 makes parents want to go home and play with their kids.

At the Reflecting Pool, and guys, this doesn’t look right.

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

Absolutely perfect. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ai-...

Generative AI can create lazy marketing copy but only a human brain could come up with a perfect word like “incellionaires.” I will be stealing this term. Brilliant.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

In a world filled with AI slop and corporate-approved “content,” be like Tom Cox instead.

Fascinating long thread about the disability use-case for Meta glasses and its broader implications.

People keep asking Alan Moore questions about comics he's disowned when they could spend more time asking him questions about things he actually gives a shit about—and get answers as glorious as this.

It is astounding how everyone thought Elon Musk was the real-life Tony Stark, and then it started to look like he was really Justin Hammer. Now it turns out he was actually Milhouse all along.

RING THE BELL. After falling behind 3-1 in the series, the Philadelphia 76ers defeat the Boston Celtics in Game 7.

15 years ago today, Kate and William killed Osama Bin Laden at their wedding.

Someone tell @parkermolloy.com new unhinged social media graphic just dropped

The Depeche Mode prophecy has been fulfilled.

Dr. Teeth is the most unsettling Muppet if you assume, as I do, that he does not have unusually expressive sunglasses but instead has translucent eyelids. Like a punishment from the elder gods. Serious body horror.
