Can I help print whistles?

WinRAR is more profitable than OpenAI

Abolish ICE is not enough.

Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.

Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

If you're in line to demoralize an ICE agent, STAY IN LINE.

Singing that like it’s the Cranberries’ song, and now my wife is leaving me

I see he’s moved on from the couch

Can I let you in on a little secret?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

You’re absolutely right — you are Pagliacci. It would certainly be difficult for you to attend your own performance! I should not have given such paradoxical advice, and I apologize deeply for the error. There is no excuse for my failure.

I heard there was a secret verse
That David used to make AI worse
But you don't really want to pub that, do ya

hey, just a reminder:
being trans is good.

"I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable Asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong."

This is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you profoundly

who else up pondering weak and weary

I don’t even have words for this.

One of the 2 guys responsible for this mass death wants a peace prize and the other wants $1trillion to be a bad CEO.

We’ve all got important work to do.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

I'm trying to get more news from magazines. So far that's The New Yorker, The Economist, and Wired. If Teen Vogue had a print subscription, I'd get that, too.

That’s just, like, your opinion, man.

@bsky.app has not yet verified @alistapart.com, we suppose because they’ve got bigger fish to fry first. We guess that at least some members of the Bluesky team learned their craft from us and trust that they’ll get around to verifying us sooner or later. Reshare if you care.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

*both* a distraction attempt and an egregious act of fascist despotism

Genuinely incredible that she's saying this with 2 accused rapists on either side of her

A brown graphic with tan text that reads: “When ICE agents come into our communities, we need to know who is behind the mask.” Below this text is a smaller graphic containing two images: on the left, an image of a person holding a sign that reads “immigrants are welcome here” with a blue overlay, and on the right, an image of an ICE officer wearing a mask and helmet with a tan overlay. The ACLU logo is featured in tan in the bottom left corner.

The VISIBLE Act would require federal agents to wear visible ID and ban their use of ski masks and other non-medical face coverings.

Urge your members of Congress to support this critical bill at aclu.org/pass_visible.

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

Oh, and your whole aesthetic is perfect, but that mortise and tenon raised counter is especially exquisite.
