California passed a redistricting proposition by 30%. Republican sheriff and gubernatorial candidate seizes ballots to "investigate" right-wing conspiracy crackpottery. Gifted.

I loved Elizabeth’s opinion writing workshop! Strongly recommend.

Well. Shit.

He is learning in real time that NATO is not an organization of aggression, unlike what Putin and Fox News keep saying.

Liberal professors: I’m afraid I or my students may get deported for wrongthink. Conservative professors: we feel more liberated now that other ppl aren’t stating their pronouns. I’m not being glib. It’s another great example of how Harper’s Letter-ed any both-sides take on speech ends up being.

Seems bad! - Gamblers trying to win a bet on Polymarket are vowing to kill me if I don’t rewrite an Iran missile story www.timesofisrael.com/gamblers-try...

Watching the New York City morning news and lol at Rosanna Scotto for wishing the Oscars were “less political.”

Are they still going to impose tariffs on the islands where only penguins live?

I'm new to event promotion is it bad if you have to give away 85,000 tickets?

Is there a betting market where I can place a wager that Pete Hegseth will eventually defend his handling of Iran by saying "in my defense, I was really drunk at the time"?

Tell me again why we need a Republican Party?

A flop-sweating Pete Hegseth closing his incoherent Iran briefing with a passage from Scripture. Dude isn't skilled enough to do introductions at a Des Moines Chamber of Commerce meeting.

I haven’t been online a lot, so maybe this has already been thoroughly discussed, but Trump doesn’t expect to win the next Nobel Peace Prize in spite of his attack on Iran, he expects to win because of it.

Give them Ceti Alpha V.

Last I checked, Dorsey followed—and I assume still follows—several white nationalists. It's evidently important to him that everyone sees their posts, whether they want to or not.

Magas love the military, as long as they're just murderbots.

Jesse going with “people who’ve dedicated their lives to this issue have reached a different conclusion than I have, must be misinformation.”

“That was a misspoke.”

“In order to connect with young men in America, we need to support those systems most effective as taking their money.”

I try to include his name in posts about him for this reason.

This is one of the problems with anthropomorphizing institutions. “The New York Times” didn’t decide whether or not something was true. People different perspectives and opinions, and ultimately people in positions of power made a decision.

It just doesn’t stop with Platner. Lying about a Nazi tattoo; dogwhistling Protocols of Elders of Zion; retweeting a Holocaust denier; and now this. Dont tell me this is converting MAGA. It is MAGA. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Talk by @safiyanoble.bsky.social at UNC-CH tonight! Come say hi if you can make it! Data in Society, Not Data As Society Time: 5–7pm Location: Swain Hall

Hegseth too drunk to find his "Operation Epic Fury" baseball cap.

Announcing your intention to commit war crimes to trigger the libs.

At least the Bush administration's lies about Iraq's "WMDs" were believable.

Thiessen should have stopped with “for the life of me I can’t understand … logic.”

there's someone in my life that has kidney problems - not to the point of dialysis yet, but close. they're changing their diet to help slow it down, but it seems super limited to like beans and veggies. i'm looking for suggestions for other things i can cook them that wouldn't be bad for them.

Awful lot of animal and cartoon avatar accounts with opinions today.

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously, 1. Hating their government 2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

Better than 50/50 that Trump confused Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini from the 80’s.

I know this is a crazy idea but what if the gains from automation go to business owners and investors like they have since the industrial revolution?

Again, Terrell is a solid, dedicated journalist. He’s worth your support. Not to mention, coverage of the war in Ukraine shouldn’t stop.

This is a well-written and insightful article with lessons for talking to climate deniers and dismissives too. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/o...

Good morning from Kyiv. Trying to raise 3,000 USD to keep my journalism going. I’d really appreciate your support, if you value the work I do. Thank you to everyone who supports me. CashApp: $TerrellJStarr cash.app/$TerrellJStarr Venmo: venmo.com/u/Terrell-St... PayPal: paypal.me/terrellstarr

Dude was fined $500 million for fraud.

Hey scientists: has anyone else been getting lots of invitations to sketchy conferences lately? I get several a week now. The webpage for the mtg is weird, with vague topics and distorted photos of scientists (some clearly fake) in odd fields. I know it's a scam but I can't figure out the angle.
