Escaping all the doom and gloom for a moment to focus on something much more important: William Shatner.

Saw a recent photo of him and thought, "The guy looks good for his age, which is... Umm... In his seventies?"

He's 94. Apparently he's aging even slower than Keanu Reeves.

Ah man, that's a bummer. He had a great run, though.

Now I am on the side of anyone who can stop what Israel is doing, and arrest Netanyahu for committing genocide.

I support Israel's right to exist, but not like this. Never like this.

On the day this nightmare began, I was firmly on Israel's side. The Hamas attack was horrific, and Israel had a right to defend itself.

The day after this nightmare began, I was still on Israel's side, but worried. What kind of response was this? Didn't they see it would make them look quite evil?

Did you see the AI-generated seal? It's almost impressive how bad it is.

Since #SCOTUS has decided to give parents special religious exemptions to hate LGBTQ+ people, I have a proposition:

Create the Church of Pride.

Religious symbol? The progress pride flag. Sacred texts? Books on tolerance. Pride festivals are religious ceremonies.

Fight fire with fire.

It's so weird that there are people who think if you *don't* want to spend all your online time in a state of constant enraged argumentation that something's wrong with you.

Spoiler-free review of Superman: It wasn't perfect, but they finally got Superman himself right. He's a big blue boy scout and just plain *nice*, as he should be.

It's just too bad Henry Cavill didn't get a better-written version of the character to star as.

So glad for you! You really deserve good things happening.

I hope... good things?

It's a computer-generated time lapse from photos Hubble took for approximately four years, and it's much closer than the stars you think it's engulfing.

It's not the evidence against the standard model you think it is.

I have a question I'd really like the MAGA crowd to answer. It's not complicated, and it's not a "gotcha" question. It's just this: Where is the money from all the savings DOGE made for us? Who has it?

I'm asking because you don't have it, and the NOAA clearly doesn't have it, so... who does?

I can't unsee the fact that his glasses aren't resting symmetrically on his face.

And now you can't, either.

It's not "Alligator Alcatraz." As horrible as Alcatraz was, it was an actual prison, to which people who'd been through the court system were sent when they'd been found guilty.

Call it what it is: A concentration camp.

Additional fun fact: If something on Earth could go at 68 km/s, it would entirely circumnavigate it in less than 10 minutes.

Fun fact: It's actually going 61 km/s (relative to the sun)but it's expected to slow to 58 km/s as it gains distance after a max speed (at perihelion) of 68 km/s.

What about to your American-but-feeling-really-conflicted-about-it-lately friends?

Medicaid Alternate Names | Created with Datawrapper Create interactive, responsive & beautiful charts — no code required.

So I created a table listing the names of the Medicaid programs in each state.

Feel free to share it with your Republican friends who depend on Medicaid for their survival and don't know it. Heck, make it go viral.

Holy fuck, that's *incredibly* stupid.

I will not be celebrating Independence Day tomorrow. I don't think there's anything left to celebrate.

Instead, I plan to have a quiet, restful, and peaceful day if I can.

So I guess today, as of the #SCOTUS ruling, birthright citizenship is null and void, no matter what the Constitution says.

How do we come back from this?

Seriously, don't wait. Call your representative. Fill their voicemail. Do it. It only takes a minute. Make them act to remove the orange asshole traitor.

Call your reps. Email your reps. Democrats, Republicans, doesn't matter. Call them and insist they remove that madman.

I would like to cordially invite all Republicans who screamed over and over again that Hillary/Biden/Harris were warmongers who would start shit in the Middle East to fuck themselves sideways with a pineapple.

Yeah, we're... Well, we're kinda stupid.

Goddamn, my life would be so much simpler right now if I had a wealthy sponsor who just wanted to support a random guy.

Anyone know somebody like that?

It's a guinea pig that got caught in one of those taffy-stretching machines.

Seeing everyone show up all over the country for #nokings is goddamn inspiring. Inject this directly into my veins!

"Stephen Miller ordered" is the start of a sentence that should never have been possible to write in anything but a piece of fiction.

Thanks. We're figuring out lawyer stuff now to appeal.
