The parents of Alex Pretti, a US citizen fatally shot by federal immigration agents during protests against an immigration enforcement surge in Minneapolis, criticized the Trump administration for withholding evidence from local prosecutors investigating the incident reut.rs/4jPgxXj

Good morning! We're suing Meta for stealing our shit 😎 let's goooo

this is the whole thing where everyone is like, "I'm ok with AI in [INSERT X FIELD THAT IS NOT THEIR FIELD]" but simultaneously "OMG it's so bad and wrong" in their own field. Gently, it's probably wrong in those other fields, you just aren't an expert.

Hey remember that time you banned me over “wishing ill” to JK Rowling?

Fortunately, we can do something about it. Chytrid can't survive past 30°C (86°F) but frogs can, and because they're cold-blooded, they'll seek out heat to warm up and leave the heat to cool off

They took Ilhan’s PASSPORT?! Um

FUCK AI RETURN TO THE GLOBAL TRADE OF CLAY AMPHORAE CONTAINING OLIVE OIL WINE AND GOAT CHEESE

Berea College already covered tuition. Now it plans to cover fees, room, board, books, and supplies too. The challenge? Making “totally free college” clear to families and sustainable for the institution. https://chroni.cl/4jpCnAv

The demagoguery doesn't work as well when people are paying high gas prices. The GOP is in bad shape ahead of the midterms. This is going to be a time of desperate Trumpian shenanigans because, as y'all may recall, they don't believe in fair fights and never admit to losing anything.

Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

Ten years after the Standing Rock protests captured national attention, the tribe is still fighting the project.

"What are we, a bunch of BROWN people?" This is white people doing white people shit. Y'all had picnics under our hanging bodies but sure ok. It's like the Taliban.

Umm, *I was the “somebody”! www.c-span.org/clip/house-c...

If you’ve ever read The Deportation Machine by Adam Goodman, you know how this went last time we did this

Black students in North Carolina were 3.7 times as likely as their white peers to receive a short-term suspension during the 2024-25 school year, according to an analysis of state education data by the Southern Coalition for Social Justice.

Orcas: We owe you an apology, sperm whales, we were not really familiar with your game

The rush to accuse, without anything approaching due diligence, artists of using "AI," should be treated with contempt. An artist gets their work *ripped off* to train a plagiarism machine, which then shits out inferior versions of that work, so then you accuse the artist of using "AI"? Fuck you.

The Klingons are great when you realize they're not really a warrior race as much as they are a bunch of theater people with knives

I think it’s fair to say that the student journalists at Cornell are braver than the news networks who just gave up on their WH pool ban even though CNN is still being denied access. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

Ok I’m through — talked to TSA agent she said it’s this week and they’re “randomly” choosing flights. I asked if it’s just to New York and she said it’s to everywhere. Then I was randomly selected for the baggage check (lol) and my guy went through every zipper, including my wallet 🤷‍♀️

Again, this is what Tucker says to normal audiences. To his own audience, literally today, he went on a deranged rant about, among other things, how Oswald Mosley wasn’t a Nazi.

The Telegraph recently published an article about "sickfluencers" titled “How having a disability became cool." We've republished a piece by Julia Doubleday at The Gauntlet pushing back against the article, which she calls "absurd on its face." thesicktimes.org/2026/09/21/c...

More than half of women of reproductive age have seen or heard the false claim that hormones in contraceptives are harmful, and about 4 in 10 have been exposed to the false idea that hormones in contraceptives limit your ability to get pregnant in the future. From @stateline.org

Doordash have always been our enemies.

My department and college are searching for FOUR new tenure-track assistant professor colleagues! Please share, and application reviews begin October 15.

i literally can't even imagine

something readers often ask is "how can we help resist this?" well, here's an idea: www.404media.co/is-your-city...

my favorite bit in this episode is Riker is about to beam down to bust Soren out of conversion therapy and Worf shows up and is just like "please let me assist you in breaking your trans girlfriend out of prison where they are forcing society's rigid (lack of) gender roles on her"

Soren and Riker 😭

This is wild because I’m at NC Folk Fest watching, among others, The Roots for free. I have run into several people who know me. One is from junior high school and we truly do look so much better now. 😂

sometimes I get bored and cancel myself on Threads by saying whatever the fuck
