Einie passed away IRL on May 26, 2025 at the age of 19. she chose a spot in the field on a bright, sunny day, curled up in my lap... and I swear to god she sighed as she died. this is a fitting tribute to her. Thank you.

“It’s the most unpopular war since polling began”

Oh, we’re gerrymander like this so we can’t unite under a common cause That makes a lot more sense

Today seems like a good day for posting the beginning of Tatian the Assyrian's Address to the Greeks:

anxiety is just parallel computing without a good heat sink

De Niro: When that coward, that fucking piece of shit, Donald Trump, tries to take our voice and power away, what do we tell him? Keep your fucking hands off our vote.

Stop putting off that thing you wanted to do

New short fiction by @disgruntledpeony.bsky.social up on talesfrombetween.com NOW! Go go go!

I don’t post much over here because I’ve been going through some health issues that makes it hard for me to use my hands I guess I’ll try transcription…?

Never been to the opera before? Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @metopera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to on.nyc.gov/opera to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.

Child: This is my first time meeting a mayor. Mamdani: Wow, have you ever met a prime minister? Child: No Norway PM Jonas Gahr Støre: *walks over*

Renee Good's mom: "I am a registered Republican. I voted for President Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect citizens -- innocents like our family and the others here. Certainly not to accuse those of us here of being terrorists and take precious lives. This is madness."

Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

Abdul El-Sayed on an RNC attendee yelling that he should be shot: "Look, I'm a dad with two daughters. And I hope those daughters get to grow up and live with their dad."

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored. That ends today. nyc.gov/sept11docs

You can learn to live with anything and still feel it in your soul

Catherine Cool last saw her husband, Eddie Reyes-Ochoa, at the Hancock County Jail. He wore the orange of an MDOC convict, she said, and his feet were shackled. He cried as they said goodbye, for now, still caught in the blur of sudden disruption. buff.ly/G90ZaKn

This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

This fucking ROCKS.

WELKER: Do you think democratic socialists have a place in the Democratic Party? VAN HOLLEN: Yes they do as part of the debate. I think that those in the Dem Party who are afraid of a healthy debate are missing the point, because Democratic voters do not want a return to the pre-Trump status quo

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

Incredible stuff from Cards Against Humanity, who is now building a monument to interfere with SpaceX.

Mamdani: "If a New Yorker looks at what ICE is doing and wants to see more of it, they should vote for Bruce Blakeman, who has created his own militia in Nassau County. If they look at what ICE is doing and they are shocked by the inhumanity and cruelty, they should vote for Gov. Kathy Hochul."

I proudly endorse this message from my grandparents ❤️

Bet someone created electricity in 1348 or something and was burned for being a witch

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

hey now

No professional accomplishment has ever made me happier than this. theonion.com/translator-o...

A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.

🔥 @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The only minority destroying America is billionaires: Trans people aren’t taking away our healthcare. Muslims aren’t defunding our schools. Immigrants aren’t cutting taxes for themselves + their rich friends… It’s billionaires & their puppet politicians.”

WARREN: Do you still work for Capital One today? JOHNSON: I do. I'm here today in my personal capacity W: Ok. But they're paying you to get confirmed for this job. I also understand they're letting you keep a bonus you haven't yet earned. They must be really excited about getting you confirmed.

They don't understand that if all they got is money, we've got the many. We have a movement that no money can buy.

What a graphic. @cnn.com $NVDA $TSLA $AEO

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

MAINE— Killer ICE Agent’s ex: “He wanted me to lie about his character. I won’t. He abused me and my daughter… I’ve waited years to speak my truth, and now a man is dead.” They are hiring the worst of the worst.

More people have existed since the invention of the photographic “selfie” than preceded its existence in all of human history #historyfacts #but #verifyhistory

Marco Rubio is currently delivering a very boring speech railing against "communism." These guys really think they're cooking by trying to revive the Red Scare. Ain't gonna work with people under 60 years old.

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

I completely understand 1930-40s Germany now.

oh I’M the glass cannon
