Why is Baruk Obama a melty Nixon?

Parkour!

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

I’m a falcons fan, we know shame intimately

Put a trigger warning next time. Some of us are still living in the shadow of this loss. 🥲

ALEX DE WAAL: So, let me say that I've been working on this field of famine, food crisis and humanitarian action for more than 40 years, and there is no case, over those four decades, of such minutely engineered, closely monitored, precisely designed mass starvation of a population as is happening in Gaza today.

Few if any experts know more about the deliberate use of starvation as a war crime than Alex de Waal. If he says it's happening, it's so.

I found a “German folk band” I enjoyed and immediately became concerned! Thankfully they seem to just be nerds

I was checking out at Costco last week when one of the employees loudly whispered to a colleague, "Over 100 people killed in the weather manipulation incident in Texas," and I almost lost my shit on them. Carrying an infant, realizing it was futile, and shock helped me let it go.

@nicklutsko.bsky.social sorry about your dad and his workplace troubles. I hope you get some quality time with him over the weekend.

I think she keeps the job because Trump likes blond women.

You are gonna LOVE antiquated medicine my friend!

They seem to be working from the InfoWars playbook. Not a great strategy

I'm a fan for free. I'd be the biggest fan for $80 million!

That show was a delight! Hopefully someone else picks it up.

I think about that story daily now.

You might need to cube that number.

The fact that JD Vance treats the conflicts in Eastern Congo as a single war that will be definitively stopped by the recent peace deal is enough to show his willful ignorance but to treat this as a “black” conflict as though the West hasn’t profited from it is sickening.
What a schmuck.

I yelled at GMA this morning when they covered it

can we see some footage of the same guy after he needs to see the doctor

An Onion front page with the headline: Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice Who will stand up for our democracy? This question, fraught in even the most peaceful times, has only grown more pressing as our country approaches its 250th anniversary. Each passing day brings growing assaults on essential liberties like freedom of speech and due process. Meanwhile, our delicately assembled legal system faces a constant barrage of threats. Even as this issue reaches publication, the U.S. military has been deployed against peaceful protesters. We teeter on the brink of collapse into an authoritarian state. That is why, today, The Onion calls upon our lawmakers to sit back and do absolutely nothing. Members of Congress, now more than ever, our nation desperately needs your cowardice. Our republic is a birthright, an exceedingly rare treasure passed down from generation to generation of Americans. It was gained through hard years of bloody resistance and can too easily be lost. Our Founding Fathers, in their abundant wisdom, understood that all it would take was men and women of little courage sitting in the corridors of power and taking zero action as this precious inheritance was stripped away—and that is where we have finally arrived. Now is not the time for bravery or valor! This is the time for protecting your own hide and lining your pocket. Now is not the time for listening to your idiotic constituents drone on about what’s happening to their precious democracy. This is the time for getting down on all fours and grov- eling. Now is not the time to say, “Enough is enough,” and have the tough conversations about resisting the ongoing assaults on American liberty. This is the time to let the wave of apathy and indifference roll over you as you think about getting a really nice renovation to your house in Kalorama. But what can I, one coward, do alone? you might ask.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.

That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:

Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

I used Rawls in my research in the experience of justice in eastern DRC. I resonate with your take on his deep belief in the possibility of people to make better worlds

John Rawls on why we must believe that a just society is possible - especially in moments where it seems most in doubt

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

That is my confusion. Big knowledge fight fan but not as active a listener to the main show as yourself. In that case he might have him on to boost the grievance

I’ll be curious to see if he’ll bring the loser on as a guest anymore.

I might have gardening on my brain, but those look like raised beds in a super fancy greenhouse set up.
