Prayers up for all the pet owners out there doing their best to explain “falling back” to very hungry and unhappy cats and dogs.

One good way to destroy a society its to incentivize a snitch culture, where people learn to distrust one another. You don't have to look for Stasi examples. See state laws putting private bounties on women seeking an abortion.

The Trump Administration is an assembly of koolaid drinking trolls who can’t see how insane they are. Problem is the press corps actively covers this up and Democrats are too cowardly to beat on it like a drum.

U.S. Strikes 2nd Boat in Pacific as Antidrug Operation Expands

I read the whole article, and you have to get deep into it, past many “Mr. Trump says” and “Mr. Hegseth says”and unattributed “believed to be,” before a perfunctory “has not offered evidence” and “outside experts…have said the campaign is illegal.”

Uncritical repetition of proven liars’ propaganda.

A hotdog and pretzel stand with large hanging bottles of mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise. The bottoms contain squeeze tubes to dispense the condiments.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.

Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?

But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

Disappointed to learn the Louvre jewelry heist wasn’t a teaser for the sequel to Ocean’s 8.

Trump posting a video of himself dropping a huge shit on America is probably the most accurate public statement he has ever made.

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

all these people protesting today in groups of a few dozen on the main streets of small towns in deep red Trump country - where they will absolutely take shit from their neighbors about it at church tomorrow or at work on Monday or next time they go to the grocery store - are braver than the Marines

NPR 'founding mother' Susan Stamberg has died Susan Stamberg, an original National Public Radio staffer who went on to become the first U.S. woman to anchor a nightly national news program, has died.

One of the best. With the most soothing voice on public radio. RIP

Fascinating. I’m going to assume this person’s interaction with women often include “I was just kidding” or “Can’t you take a joke?” responses.

Oh no oh no. Not Diane Keaton, dammit.

Research suggests rich people tend to be more selfish – but why is that? Research in psychology has found a link between wealth and selfishness

this is the best thing I’ve ever seen

Cervical cancer could be eradicated, experts say. But not with Medicaid cuts and anti-vax politics. • Iowa Capital Dispatch Medicaid cuts and political opposition to vaccines could wipe out the progress made toward eradicating cervical cancer, advocates say.

“We could make (cervical cancer) an eradicated disease,” said Dr. Emily Boevers, an Iowa OB-GYN. “But everything is falling apart at the same time.” Story by Kelcie Moseley-Morris.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office.

I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

Opinion | The Right Didn’t Catch Cancel Culture From the Left

great piece from the always-great @pastpunditry.bsky.social and a welcome antidote to vacuous commentators whose historical memories seem to go back no further than the first iron man movie

white supremacists and capitalists got so mad at one 18 month stretch of increased labor power that they've agreed to reverse the most complex economy in human history to an agrarian state

Jimmy Kimmel's show returning on Tuesday, ABC announces The network pulled the show after the Federal Communications Commission chair threatened to revoke ABC affiliate licenses after the host's comments about Charlie Kirk's death.

I’m guessing lawyers got involved in these “thoughtful conversations.” 💀

“We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday,” Disney added.

Oof. Really need them to get the memo that episodes of “let me sing the songs of my people” are only permitted btwn the hours of 8am - 8pm.

My cat, every morning: oh finally you’re awake, please bestow upon me all the pets and scritches and I will purr loudly.

I’m so tired of him. I’m tired of people pretending he’s not an idiot. I’m tired of his lies. I’m tired of his sickening amorality. I’m tired of his face, his voice, his smirk. I’m tired of his inability to say even 1 thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever. So tired.
