Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

I can't explain why but a #FIFA Peace Prize has the same feel, to me, as Bruce Wayne getting a Nobel in chemistry for his discovery of the element Batmium.

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

When someone uses the word, "illegals" I am done listening to what they have to say. I live in America, a nation stolen from the indigenous natives, built on the backs of slaves, & made prosperous by the sweat, & blood of immigrants. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." My country is not white. It's not Christian. It's American. It's made up of people from around the globe. Humans aren't illegal. But your dehumanization, & demonization should be.

"If your country opens a Department of War and closes the Department of Education then you live in a shithole."

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Da sind echt düstere Aussichten: Klimakrise, Rechtsruck. Ich weiß wirklich nicht, ob ich extreme Hitze und Faschismus gleichzeitig ertragen kann.

Dutch late night TV has its take

Celebrating the stock market right now is like thinking it's a miracle that you can suddenly breathe after your head is no longer being held under water.

My wife is showing me mass spectra and explaining her analysis process. It is so fucking hot.

Hope it doesn't give you the...runs

I've worked in radio before, and I know how hard a few hours of talking can be on the voice. More than 24 is genuinely astonishing. Major respect.

Considering how much of the government is already being gutted, would we really even notice a shutdown?

Free Mahmoud Khalil!

Pass it on.

I don't think it's right to call elon a "jester high on ketamine"

Jesters are actually funny.

Chrysler actually did this in the fifties. They had to use a spring-loaded needle, so it destroyed the record after a little while.

Please share widely, here and elsewhere. This will be long.

Traitorous Moron Ave does have a nice ring to it.

Where are all the people who like ironic grammatical errors? I know there out their.

See what I did they're?

I don’t have kids. I just care about the world and the people who live in it. It’s never wrong to do the right thing.

Es ist problematisch, dass wir "Faschismus" oder "Nationalsozialismus" so untrennbar mit Krieg und Holocaust in Verbindung bringen. Dann kann man heutige Faschisten für vergleichsweise harmlos erklären. Aber auch damals hat es nicht gleich damit begonnen. Auch der Weg dorthin ist bereits Faschismus.

Can't wait for a college athlete to point out that, at conception, they belonged to the sex that produces large reproductive cells and, therefore, per trumps own EO (Sec. 2 d), they are considered female and not, in fact, a transgender athlete.

I really wish people who worked at the DMV understood the difference between a hybrid and a PLUG-IN hybrid.

For such a car dependant country, you'd think drivers in the US would know how to fucking drive.

I know you all already know this, but this is going to get really bad.

My wife and I needed to get passports, so we went to the local library. Only took 30 minutes, including getting pictures and making copies before the appointment. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Public libraries are the shit.
