Another selfie of a mother and her adult daughter. A Snapchat filter has been applied giving them fuzzy pink ears and black noses like cute teddy bears. The mother is looking up at the daughter and laughing

This hit me hard in the heart. My mom and I would sing the same thing in her ward, when dementia had robbed her of much of her speech. Singing somehow triggered her in how to remember words (music is magical).

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

by the eleventh “it’s a very sad thing” I started to wonder if maybe this guy is guilty

The legitimately innovative thing about AI is that it is a completely bottomless pit. It's swallowed up:

- all energy sources
- all our data
- all investment dollars
- all new jobs
- all capex
- all attention
- and now, all hardware components

with absolutely no end in sight. Nothing will satisfy.

What’s it like to hold your leaders accountable? Asking for a friend.

Every jobs report is like look, we wrecked the economy, but we swear that’s a good thing

In case you missed the moment.

Birnam Wood has come to Dunsinane

Honestly, I wondered the same and would not be surprised if they actually did.

Well that was both great and also way too short. More, please!

This is the coolest, most immersive set I’ve ever seen for a halftime show.

at least we’re all united in our horror. none of us had to experience the Dunkin ad alone.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

That Dunkin’ commercial was Al of us collectively having a stroke, right?

strongly encourage women to get swords. You will not regret having a sword!

One piece of lore around my parents relationship is how in their very early dating days my dad came to pick my mom up for an evening on the town and she basically said, "We can't go out — The Wizard of Oz is on TV!" and made my dad sit and watch it with her rather than their planned date.

the Barbara Kruger mural the chase is happening in front of reads:

"WHO IS BEYOND THE LAW? WHO IS BOUGHT AND SOLD? WHO IS FREE TO CHOOSE? WHO DOES THE TIME? WHO FOLLOWS ORDERS? WHO SALUTES LONGEST? WHO PRAYS LOUDEST? WHO DIES FIRST? WHO LAUGHS LAST?"

Hey...

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50
