Homepage of the @miamiherald.com with story by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social that mentions rape in the first paragraph. See, it's not so fucking hard. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

The US government, which has fucked up the Arab world in countless ways over a century, arguing that Arabs aren't productive enough academically gives really strong Hot Dog Guy energy

I asked UNH's archivist to create a file of letters protesting the "weeding" of 30% of the library's books. Future researchers need to know faculty did not let the books "go gentle into that good night" (30+ books on Dylan Thomas to be culled). 🗃️ #skystorians www.unionleader.com/opinion/op-e...

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

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.

He needs to be impeached just for being this stupid. It's embarrassing to have someone this stupid in front of a microphone.

This is not only evidence of a military presence in our streets and cities, but of a hunter-killer, "rabid dog" mentality, tuned for overkill and excessive violence, perfectly aligned with fascism's machismo fantasies of overwhelming force. No wonder ICE shoots and kills people in their path.

He's hitting the Brett Banditelli Socialist nature arc a little early, but I'll take it.

@ouinne.bsky.social Hi Winn, have you read/listened to Thirty-Two Words for Field? I suspect it's in your wheelhouse. I'm listening to the audiobook as I know I'd have no idea how to pronounce most of the Irish. share.libbyapp.com/title/12864348

For this week for #calling353 at @thejournal.ie I looked at a small sample of Ireland’s spooky placenames and asked if the spookiness is warranted . jrnl.ie/7202846

The first corollary of the Sinclair "when his job depends on not understanding it" quote is, the job of spreading misunderstanding pays way better than the job of stopping it.

"Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. You can buy liver or the cheap cuts." This man has never set foot in a grocery store. He doesn't know the secret in-lingo of people who go to the store and buy food. His like a cop blathering about marijuana cigarettes.

We have a real "She said/See said" situation here.

This is @tomflood.bsky.social's work, and it seems relevant here.

In the 1960s public schools had special classrooms for the “educable mentally handicapped.” Most of those kids had lead poisoning. Lead paint was banned in U.S. in 1978. Leaded gasoline was banned in 1996. Kids’ blood levels dropped by 95%. Bans work. We should ban shit again.

Flat Armb. My favorite subway station.

JK Rowling writing a whole damn essay that goes, "I know I'm a billionaire, but it's the TRANS who are the real elite, and I'm just using all my money to fight the TRANS ELITE whose only tangible power I can articulate they have outside vague fearmongering is them harassing me on Twitter!" is wild.

The fact there’s no more “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” is the biggest recession indicator so far.

Let’s Streisand Effect the shit outta this, okay? 🤔

Wari Beiss' Hot Take Bakery emits another Fuckoccia!

As much as cars still bad, you can breathe in Los Angeles on most days. my favorite picture to illustrate the change was being 27 miles from the Hollywood sign and shooting it between International Gateway Bridge.

The nation's quarterback is frequently brought into the blue tent for concussion protocol and every time he's allowed back on the field.

Evening of doodling

Hours after the Wall Street Journal published a story questioning Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan’s claim she “graduated Phi Beta Kappa” from the University of Minnesota, the national honor society said that she is a member.

I wasn’t a McMorrow supporter. But these Wedgewood assholes need to be blacklisted forever.

The Federal Agency for Finding Out (FAFO)

This was why Tina Peters was in prison. Then Jared Polis, @colorado.gov freed her, and now she’s meeting with Trump in the Oval Office to plan committing the same crime all over again, only bigger. And with a declaration of martial law to cover her. www.propublica.org/article/cisa...

Not happy with the vile language from these Knicks fans. They know full well that DraftKings made a special deal to make sure every child in the world would be able to watch (and place one free bet) on this game.

We were investigating Wedgewood for faking their data and emailed them for comment this morning, ahead of publishing the findings tomorrow. They are now trying to cover up their fraud with the "we were doing a social experiment" excuse. Full story here: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/fiftypluso...

Getting so much news coverage of political candidates in states where I don't even live, but I can't name a single Republican policy that would improve someone's life. It's all about someone's religion, mom, or supposed vegan diet.
