From the movie "Mazes & Monsters," some people in a cave with lanterns. Foregrounded character shouts out to the heavens "Will the herb give us wisdom or threaten us?"

When you sit down to smoke a fat blunt over the age of 28:

Cenobite 1: Check this shit out. I made my cup of coffee just a bit too hot to do more than sip, but I am forcing myself to take bigger sips than I would like.

Cenobite 2: Ooooh that is good. What if you took these bigger sips while looking at porn tho

Cenobite 1: GENIUS

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

the reason the republicans want to quintuple the size of ICE is not to do immigration enforcement but to conduct a coup

Trump Took Stonewall’s Trans Flags. New Yorkers Brought Their Own. It is impossible to separate the transgender community from the history of Stonewall, no matter how hard the government may try.

1. Stonewall National Monument took down trans flags and progress pride flags, opting only to fly the rainbow pride flag.

It erases the trans people who led the Stonewall uprising.

Thankfully, New Yorkers have been bringing their own and planting them.

bad news: it's all in your head

worse news: it's in everyone else's heads too

it's going to be so cool watching what the post-LLM electorate looks like

how do we prevent AI from ever damaging wikipedia

I love how the pitch for AI remains "it's cool if you don't mind a few mistakes," like every normal human being is not aware that enough mistakes will get them fired. It's like all of human industry is being replaced by the boss's shitty nephew

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States.

A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports.

This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

My favourite one like this is Don Henley getting Brian to autograph a copy of Pet Sounds. Brian signed it "thanks for all the great music" then thought for a second, crossed out "great", and wrote "good"

Apply for that dream job

You can do it

Earlier this evening, the Univision crew grabbed their gear and started running when federal police began shooting pepper balls at us. @lataco.bsky.social

The best Star Wars media understands that the Emperor is an old queen whose high-ranking staff are all gay

Maybe it’s not people speaking truth causing outrage…maybe it’s the actual outrageous tactics being used for mass deportation 🤔

NOAA chart of the atmospheric CO2 at Mauna Loa Observatory, from 1960 to present, going from <320 to >420

On May 29, 2025, atmospheric CO₂ concentration at the Mauna Loa Observatory reached 430.71 ppm.

When I was born in 1991, the global average was around 355 ppm.

A cataclysmic geological shift in just three decades, and no serious effort to « flatten the curve » here.

Component Budget Overview The FY 2026 Budget includes $11.3B, 21,808 positions, and 21,786 full-time equivalents (FTE) for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This funding will fill critical resource gaps to effectively carry out ICE’s operational mission. This funding complements the Administration funding requested in the reconciliation bill currently under consideration in the Congress. This base budget provides the foundation for the historical funding levels in the reconciliation bill. Reconciliation funding in FY 2026 will enable ICE to fully implement the President’s mass removal campaign. ICE is the principal criminal investigative agency within the Department, responsible for enforcing more than 400 Federal statutes with a focus on immigration enforcement, preventing terrorism, and combating the illegal movement of people and goods. ICE has employees deployed across all 50 States, U.S. territories, the District of Columbia, and in 55 countries. To support the Administration’s strategy of 1,000,000 removals per year and 100,000 detention beds, the FY 2026 Budget includes significant investments in Enforcement and Removal Operations. Detention Capacity is increased by $501.0M to support 50,000 beds. The Budget increases Transportation and Removal Operations with an increase of $205.0M to fund detainee domestic movement as well as increased funding for international removals for aliens with final orders of removal. The FY 2026 Budget includes an increase of 27 positions, including 44 positions to increase capacity of Automated Screening and Vetting, two positions for the Consolidated ICE Financial Solution, and a reduction of 19 positions in Body Worn Cameras program. The increase in positions will positively impact frontline operations to include investigative, enforcement, and administrative capabilities consistent with the Administration’s strategy of enforcing established immigration law. The budget also includes $25.0M for Homeland Security In…

Friday night news dump; the Trump admin just posted all the Congressional budget justifications, the specifics details of Trump's budget priorities (outside reconciliation).

At ICE, the document references "the Administration’s strategy of 1,000,000 removals per year and 100,000 detention beds."

if what he said was even true only someone high or completely inept as a parent would prompt their five year old to punch them in the face

Would be good if reporters ask the administration why they let a man they knew was constantly using psychoactive drugs to take a hatchet to the federal government and cause uncountable death and immiseration

What kind of silly sailor shit is this? As AOC said, “ChatGPT ass presidency”.
