One of my favorite takes on this website by the Ball Knowers was that the year plus of cracking down on anti-genocide youth movements in this country, on campuses and otherwise, had no effects whatsoever on turnouts come November nor in general for mobilization etc. Goldfish levels of myopia.

I promise you, the gaping maw of loneliness & a lack of purpose borne of the mismatch between the self you truly are & the one-size-fits-all mold of patriarchal masculinity will NOT be filled by subjecting a woman to pregnancy, childbirth, and unequal divisions of labor just so you can be a father.

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation

“Men are in trouble. Unchallenged private sphere domination over women and children is a solution.”

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

A 15-year-old autistic boy walked away from his mother's fruit stand. When she called police for help, they found him, called ICE, and locked him away for weeks.

Unconscionable.

if elon just hired an Inverse Jester (guy hired to listen to his jokes and pretend they're funny) we could solve every problem except how to keep the inverse jester from killing himself

Destroying DEI because they will never be FEI (funny, esteemed, or included).

If you see a recipe that says to caramelize onions in “about 15 minutes”, know that they LIE and you’re not going to get the depth of flavor of properly done which takes about 35. Had a felonious French onion soup this weekend that I suspect did 15.

I actively chose not to “upgrade” because it seems to be all about adding more and more Ai and, firstly, that’s necessitated a thicker device to accommodate a larger battery and, secondly, yuck.

I suspect I’m not the only one. Maybe they should listen to their customers.

I hope all the libs who say "just move out of your red state if you hate living under tyranny" realize that you sound as idiotic as Bessent here

Why is startup culture always “I am inventing a coffeeproof phone you can put in your coffee cup to keep it warm with cell radiation” and never “I’m inventing a new library wholesaler to replace the single company that is shutting down and sending libraries into crisis”

There’s also its key aim of procurement capture for its corrupt owners. We will not know whether DOGE has been uprooted until we have gotten into the Signal chat full of white supremacists and extremists where all of its activity is illegally coordinated, entirely outside of government authority.

american oligarchs uniformly abandoned a lifetime of democratic support because it was easier for them to believe that “based meme” accounts run by czechoslovakian teens were proof of a mass populist movement in service to elon musk than face the hard truth that most people hate their fucking guts

hank you can't be doing that you're her boggle coach

a tub of country crock could fix me

We should rest assured that on Mark Zuckerberg's watch, nobody, and I mean nobody, will do sex trafficking eighteen times.

N.B. ICE is currently insisting that face recognition matches outweigh identification documents in deciding whether to kidnap people

We have a rear angle view of Her Excellency and The Smaller Minion sitting at a sliding glass door watching a turkey eating bird seed on our deck. The turkey is roughly 3 feet away from them as they both sit in almost full loaf position.

A very special surprise Thanksgiving #Hedgewatch

*Turkey is definitely Her Excellency's favorite. And she absolutely knows that is her favorite food on the deck.

i'm shopping for a new dog ramp for the couch and i am obsessed with this diva

we still haven't moved past the double meaning problem here---the people who want Zohran to be "tougher on antisemitism" really mean "silent on Israeli genocide."

This was the calculator included every version of Mac OS from 1984 until the launch of Mac OS X in 2001. Steve Jobs designed it himself.

A snowy owl preening. November 22, 2025, Chicago.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.

BTW, as with most early women lion tamers in America, Louise Morelli doesn't even have a Wikipedia stub. Aside from occasional, tangential references from the occasional entertainment historian, most of these women's stories had been forgotten before the research I serendipitously began this spring.

About this time 62 years ago JFK was pronounced dead at Parkland Hospital in Dallas. If you go to my profile, today I have a ton of markers, photos and videos of modern-day Dealey Plaza and its environs to hopefully add to your knowledge without sending you down a conspiracy theory rabbit hole.

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

this is the world's most confusing day for centrist Democrats who just voted to condemn socialism and tried to sink Mamdani's campaign for months
