If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Imma let yall have these hotep memes

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

apologies accompanied by no changed behavior is just a performance.

LA Fire TikTok comments are BLEAK. Every conspiracy theory I’ve ever heard plus a bunch that are brand new.

Why I'm quitting the Washington Post Democracy can't function without a free press

Bravo, @anntelnaes.bsky.social.

I guess the new slogan for the Washington Post ought to be:

“Newspapers die in cowardice.”

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Now Watch Tomorrow Be July 4th

I’m always looking for things that explain a lot but that people have a hard time remembering.

Examples: Air is stuff. Pee comes from blood. All land vertebrates have a single common ancestor. Venus is bright enough to cast visible shadows. Clouds are heavy. Bones are alive.

Any others you know?

The thing is, you can replace “cruel” in this sentence with funny, artistic, thoughtful, thoughtless, compassionate, greedy, kinky, creative, or any of 1000 other adjectives.

Why are so many of us only able to see us as exceptional in our faults?

This one is very good and goes for way more than dollars. A great way to get a little more intuitive about large numbers.

every new restaurant in every major city is either called Thistle+Thorn and thinks adding turmeric to brussel sprouts makes them worth $30 or is called Burger Bitch and has a neon sign in the window that says “im gonna fuck a hamburger”

AI Needs So Much Power, It’s Making Yours Worse There’s a strong link between proximity to AI data centers and higher levels of distorted power in residential areas

AI data centers are multiplying across the U.S. and sucking up huge amounts of power.

New evidence shows they may also be distorting the normal flow of electricity for millions of Americans

my armchair psychological diagnosis is that the drive to accumulate as much wealth as possible eats away at the drive for self-improvement or the internal desire to cultivate any skills or tastes. these people build huge mounds of treasure and then essentially just sit around looking at it, empty.

Regardless of the poems message, Ozymandias was a King and lived a full life. And you're still talking about him.

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are

That’s because his bone spurs were fake and his “staged performance” was fake. Everything about Trump is fake.

i'm joining the bandwagon ☺️
