He's clearly taken Elon's “the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.” as a life lesson

I suspect that defecting from the party of Sarah Pochin to that of Karie Lam is not quite the virtuous ideological leap he imagines it to be

FT graph showing massive UK public support for the opinion that it was wrong to vote to leave the EU.

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

So true, and a ghastly vision of right wing dystopia

I wonder how long it will be for the first new band to call themselves ‘The Fat Generals’

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Should be renamed as How The (Far)Right Gets In

Turns out hiring Ozymandias as his social media manager wasn't such a great idea

Wait... is this the best meme ever made?

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

Cruelty is both the end and the means with this bunch of misanthropes

Looks amazing but I’d be worried that I’d keep slipping off

The only album in my collection that I had to buy twice after wearing the first one out through playing it so much. Its spirit is still so relevant now, especially since Trump/Maga have declared war on everything it represents

I want a president who is tougher on Putin than he is on Harvard.

What DEI threatens isn’t merit. It’s monopoly. Political science professor Hakeem Jefferson argues for DEI's importance to de-monopolizing universities.

Got my mono version in 1969 and loved it ever since. Many of the songs are simultaneously both timeless and a distillation of the psychedelic period. Plus a bass/guitar partnership made in heaven.

no idea who made this but it’s genius

Wait till they discover how much American-made MAGA hat cost

The AI penis implant has gone rogue and is straying outside the white zone

Trump wants to grab Greenland WITH the pussy
