Telling a woman to shut up when she’s asking about the attack ad you’ve backed calling a pedophilia victim a loser is like a turducken pf misogyny

My daughter’s school needed a written letter from her Dr & the medicine with a prescription label for allergy meds but somehow Nicki Minaj thinks between lunch and world history they are fitting in sex changes. Which part of the 4 yrs in college to become a teacher was there a surgical rotation?

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

We have to think about collapsing Trump poll numbers and Rs turning on him the same way we'd think about finally being able to corner a rabid raccoon in your garage. Good news: he's out of options. Bad news: he's a rabid raccoon.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Update from the originator of the James Talarico mental health facility hoax.

“Pro-life” apparently comes with an execution clause.

The idea in here that business schools inherently train people to devalue labor reminds me that the same critique was made when the first business schools in America were started, which I mention here: www.elizabethspiers.com/the-anti-int...

The Trump administration has systematically sought to curtail public input into the government’s environmental decision-making by shirking decades of precedent and making strained interpretations of longstanding federal law

“She was the best in the business of covering public health and communicable and infectious diseases” - I spoke to her so many times and each time I always knew the questions would be incisive and probing and my answers always challenged www.nytimes.com/2026/10/17/h...

@KFC: Maybe next time you offer a promotion with T-Mobile, make sure your systems and store personnel can deliver.

Having had occasion twice in the last week to re-wrap a slipping bandage applied by a PA, I offer the thought that a nurse would have known how to do it right.

Is Skynet's level of obsequiousness merely off-putting, or grounds for suspicion? I was tempted to point it out, but we would have been here all night. 😬

Fascinating

Why is exporting to a PDF from Apple’s Notes app so unintuitively convoluted?

Sometimes you just gotta say "Fuck it," and walk away.

I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Donald Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Artificial obtuseness.

Ossoff: "We are witnessing people drunk with power who are utterly reckless, utterly corrupt, and obviously believe that they live with impunity. They believe they're untouchable. They believe they're invincible. Let's prove them wrong."

As someone who has been covering transgender rights for years, let me be clear about something: When you see capitulation over sports, know that it NEVER stops at sports. And in fact, Turek illustrated this just yesterday when he embraced a federal ban on funding for all trans care.

Why yes, that is the local ice cream truck. Yes, it is playing “Deck the Hall“ and “Jingle Bells“. Why do you ask?

🔥 Charlamagne on Josh Hokit attacking Michelle: “All you do when you bring the Obamas up is remind people what is currently missing from the White House. The Obamas set a standard for decency & class & poise & intelligence... Now that bar is in hell.”

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

If the person who stopped traffic to video me was hoping to capture something they could use for some online spectacle, they got their wish.

How would I get by without AI? If I need a factually-dubious opinion expressed in a cliched manner with unearned confidence, I’ll just talk to a straight white cis man. I can get by on small-batch, locally-sourced, artisanal mansplaining, the way we always used to.

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

Imagine if Kamala Harris became the first female president of the United States and then tore down the East wing, obsessed about a ballroom, started a losing war with Iran, took away health care and food from children, raked in billions, fired everyone to put her friends in their positions, (1/2) 👇

“A group of senators is saying that these changes are designed to disenfranchise America’s two million nursing home residents.”

Doctors say that childhood vaccines save thousands of lives. A guy who shits himself in public and struggles to pass basic cognitive tests say they cause autism. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I'll go another step further: the research shows that BLM protests causally shifted Americans' racial attitudes leftward and helped Democrats in the 2020 election link.springer.com/article/10.1...
