i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Obama speechwriter's rejected ideas: "...like Pol Pot opened a Five Guys" "...like Franco opened an Olive Garden" "...like Gaddafi opened a Panera Bread"

Fuck the fascists. A good day!

Roses are red, Skateboards are rad…

here’s what we know: - we get medicaid expansion if KLB wins. we do not if she loses - KLB will fight any attempts to steal the election in 2028. her MAGA opponent will help trump steal it - ossoff can run for president if KLB wins. if she loses, he can’t, as he’ll be replaced with a republican

If you're 72 and you don't want to die in prison, I recommend not doing multiple attempted murders with a deadly weapon in front of people with cameras 🤷‍♂️

WAR EAGLE!

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

GUYS GUYS GUYS! just found out about this thing called umm…. MAAYYN TUH NENSE? don’t know quite how it works yet, but it made my bike work way less shitty.

Here is what Ford wants to rip out. In a city stuck in debilitating gridlock, nothing better than removing bike lanes and getting more people driving. 🙌🙌

It’s also the 25th anniversary of one of my favorite, and perhaps underrated They Might be Giants albums, Mink Car: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PagU...

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” Frank Herbert, Dune

One's reaction to this is a litmus test of one's views on this issue. If you find it funny or some ideological checkmate then your views transcend sports—you just think trans people don't actually exist; they're just fakes deserving mockery. If so, be honest and stop saying this is about sports.

mad. warning flashing

Used to be your bookie might just break your fingers when you fell behind after Giants didn't cover the spread. Now they want to preemptively give your baby polio.

Wild to me seeing people who live in states with publicly owned liquor stores losing their minds over a few publicly owned grocery stores in a totally different state.

This is a batshit response to attacking candidates who are winning primaries and elections, when the other side is fascists. If you think you have more to lose from lefty candidates winning office than MAGA's continued destruction, no one should take you seriously. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...

results not accidents.

Ladies and gentleman. Fuck. It’s only Tuesday.

Watch it till the end. This is moral clarity -- TMZ understands the moment, and what that Rand Paul kangaroo court was, better than any coverage I've seen so far. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zaO...

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask members of the Senate to recognize that Republicans are a threat to the Republic itself and to keep their tributes terse.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

At the rate we’re dropping Grahams there won’t be any left for s’mores at summer camp.

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers

Prestigious bicycle races as homestar runner characters, a thread. Actually not a thread, this is all I got.

Talked to Mitch McConnel for 20 minutes, he asked where his Killer tape at.

This is what Tool music videos look like if you watch them with the motion smoothing on.
