"I don't understand how a movie can be this searing indictment [of capitalism] and simultaneously be so bad. There's so much amazing stuff and so much terrible stuff." -My wife, watching the credits roll on John Carpenter's "They Live"

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Yup. For a guy that lies so easily, he can be bracingly honest.

Got my Covid and Flu jabs today, hopefully it will be possible next year too.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.

My eldest came of age in the era of school shootings & EVERY nightmare she ever has involves an active shooter. She overheard me talking about the harms of smartphones & schools banning them & said… “YOU CAN’T TAKE OUR PHONES IF YOU AREN’T TAKING THEIR GUNS” So, anyway, fuck the #GOP #ItsTheGuns

A convicted child sex trafficker looking for a pardon claims the rapist who can grant her freedom never did anything inappropriate. I hate this 2025.

you’re so close

US Park Police now doing traffic stops in DC, and charged at me with a baton for filming closer than they liked

Who could have predicted this? 🙋🏻‍♂️

Calling it now that one of these ghouls will use a version of “the fact that someone was driven to commit violence only shows how much uncertainty there is and why we should limit mRNA vaccines until we know they are safe” 🤬🙄 (Reality check: they are amazingly safe. I/my kids will keep vaccinating)

How profoundly will AI change your job? Well ask yourself what I'd have done if a time traveler had found me in Journalism school pre-internet and said that a skibidi algo was going to unalive most of the industry & that I should instead focus on rizz and bussin 3-second hooks

Why did it suddenly become popular a few years ago to announce full moons on social media, like they're somehow unscheduled, while also invoking archaic terms for the cycle number within a year, as if any full moon is essentially different from another one?

Breaking: per FEMA sources Kristi Noem was responsible for THREE DAY DELAY in deploying search-and-rescue in Texas Fire her. Blood on her hands.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Let's check in on that ceasefire:

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the *bad* guys.

How many stories are being written with some version of the phrase, “the President is consulting with his advisers,” without pointing out that the advisers are an unqualified collection of drunks, Russian assets, and know-nothing fools? A comment worth sharing from Lincoln Square.

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

Why is it so obvious that our kids suffered "learning loss" from a few months spent at home, when * kids spend months at home every summer * kids suffered the trauma of losing family, friends and teachers * kids have been infected over and over with a virus we know can cause brain damage

Likely, the United States Government won't go to war with Iran. It's too busy going to war with the United States.

I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu” Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell. It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible. It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

fact check.

This is the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard!! 😍

New moment of “WTF”: -pt with rare infection (so rare will leave unnamed, as could reveal identity) -nl times: reach out to CDC for testing -now: “they confirmed they are not currently accepting specimens for serology…they suggested we could reach out to Canada National Reference Center” 😳😳😳

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

“The conventional wisdom among non-experts has long been that there are limited data," on trans pediatric care write the study authors. “However, results from our exhaustive literature searches have lead us to the opposite conclusion.” The Republican legislators who ordered the study are not happy.

An actual tragedy is playing out in real time on the pages of the Telegraph. If you are the praying kind then please pray for them.

These are real images of exoplanets. Four super-Jupiters, imaged 10 times over 12 years around a star 133 lightyears away. These are real, giant worlds, out there in the dark. And we can see them.

RFK Jr and Statistics:

A perfect moment in time with your best friends:

This time-lapse captures 17 hours of axonal growth from a chicken dorsal root ganglion explant, visualized through the actin cytoskeleton using live confocal imaging. I just submitted this video to the Nikon Small World in Motion competition. Today is the last day to upload yours! 😉 🧪
