It’s finally over

It fees a bit strange but “are they a wartime consigliere?” is now the defining question for D primaries

School choice’ = get the education you can afford and to hell with everyone else. Public schools starve, private schools skim, and inequality gets a PR makeover.

Choice’ is just a polite word for abandonment. If you can pay, you’re fine. If you can’t, tough luck. That’s the policy.

Stars can consume their planets if tidal dissipation causes a planet's orbit to decay fast enough. Nom nom. 🌞🌏😋

A USPS mailbox in New York City

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Antisemitism in the U.S. is real—but it’s already a domestic law-enforcement issue. There’s no crisis requiring “joint combat” with a foreign leader. What is happening is criticism of Israel being rebranded as hate to chill dissent. That’s dangerous.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

Never not impressed with Caine's delivery.

And poor Rizzo.

Trump just announced his own Hunger Games In case you needed a reminder that we're living in a fascist hellscape.

Today, Trump declared that the nation will host the first-ever “Patriot Games,” an “unprecedented four-day athletic event” featuring high school athletes, one boy and one girl, from each state and territory.

If you think this sounds like The Hunger Games, you're not alone.

Comic. [Equation [rjf = 2GM / (4.5 m/s)2] with small drawing showing a circle with the radius delineated. On top of the circle there is an arc showing a small frog jumping and landing with RIBBIT and PLOP sound effects.] [caption] More practically useful than the Schwarzschild radius, the *Jumping Frog Radius* is the radius at which an object’s gravitational pull is so strong that even a champion jumping frog can’t escape.

Woo! Won another spool of filament from @loyalmoses.bsky.social !!

Now I just need to get my 3D printer in. 🤣

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

@bradbauman.bsky.social - The MCRIB is back!!!

A black and white photo of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin. She is sitting at her desk and looking up at the camera, which is in front of her and to her left. Payne-Gaposchkin is wearing a baggy, ribbed sweater and has a wristwatch on her right arm. A pair of glasses rests on the desk in front of her, next to open books and papers which are just visible at the bottom of the photogaph. Filing cabinets, drawers, and another desk are visible in the background. She has short, dark hair which is no longer than chin-length, pulled out of her face behind her left ear.

“There is no joy more intense than that of coming upon a fact that cannot be understood in terms of currently accepted ideas."

Astronomer Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, who decoded spectral lines to deduce the elemental composition of stars, was born #OTD in 1900. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬

People are following federal agents around DC w/the Imperial March. 😘

CHICAGO!!

Will add some basic ICE melting🧊 resources below.

Plz add other resources/ideas, & let’s get sub threads by city, so eg one person can start a Boston reply thread and everyone can add stuff to that thread — ?

This is not at all an exaggeration. Elon Musk, a single deranged billionaire, killed USAID and thus will kill millions globally.

Started playing #RobocopRogueCity on stream and just re-creating the "Our #Robocop Remake - Scene 27" scene 167 times and it gets funnier Every. Single. Time!

Plus there's an achievement for it!

so the techbros on this coup know how to admin an Exchange server, maybe, which is more competence than we could have expected

Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

People with guns proudly posing in front of the Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

A bulletproof Emmett Till memorial. Riddled with bullet dents.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

Pretty much on brand for a Bolsonaro supporter.

DHS to cut 75% of staff in its intelligence office amid heightened threat environment DHS plans to reduce its Office of Intelligence & Analysis to just 275 personnel, four sources said.

In the middle of a heightened threat environment with Iran, DHS is gutting its intelligence office by 75%—and put a 22-year-old ex-grocer with no natsec experience in charge of countering extremism. What could possibly go wrong?

With ICE's *enormous* new budget and its ability to hire *many* more agents, the United States is about to enter an era of brutal domestic terrorism that we've never seen before.
