there's an old saying in diy — I know it's in woodworking, probably in diy — that says, 'measure once, cut... cut twice, measure... if you just cut it you don’t have to measure again!

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

all eyes now turn to truth social, where the president is expected to respond from the toilet any minute now

musk tweet: for a country to survive, there has to be a common culture

this is all racism, obviously, and multiculturalism is great, but i'll note that i'm pretty close to being a median american, and i can't think of too many other people in america with whom i share fewer cultural values that elon musk

Gallup reported in February 1965 that, when asked about the Civil Rights Act specifically, 42% overall believed the federal government was moving too fast in guaranteeing "Negro" voting rights and the right of "Negroes" (the term used in the question) to be served in public places such as restaurants, hotels and theaters, while just 25% thought it was not moving fast enough.

A Blaring Warning For The Democratic Party From Across The Pond Popularism has been tried in the UK, and failed.

"Liberals the world over have to stop playing defense if the left is ever going to stop the right's oligarch-fueled momentum. They must stop accommodating or—worse yet—imitating the fascists, and fight them." www.liberalcurrents.com/a-blaring-wa...

i’ll end this little brainstorm by just asking what it is, exactly, that the MAGA right likes about the United States, since it explicitly rejects those things that make this nation distinctive — its pluralism, its revolutionary heritage and egalitarian aspirations, and its republican institutions

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Baby's first bike lane.

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Analysis | The fact that Joe Biden isn't in the Epstein files shows how politically and culturally irrelevant he has become.

This is just unconscionable man

Trump's EPA Revokes Scientific Finding That Underpinned U.S. Fight Against Climate Change The Environmental Protection Agency has revoked a key scientific finding that supported U.S. regulations on greenhouse gas emissions.

The Trump admin revoked a scientific finding that has long been the central basis for the fight against climate change

I’m 34, this accurately describes 4 of the 5 GOP terms I’ve lived thru

"…because in a few years you will be busy migrating north, scrambling for resources and cobbling together a subsistence lifestyle."

Flyer: Support Families at a South Minneapolis Public School We are a Title 1 neighborhood community school in South Minneapolis that is fundraising to provide financial support to our vulnerable families during the unprecedented federal occupation of our city. Funds will be disbursed to families requesting help with rent, bills, food, transportation, and other necessities. Donate: gofund.me/9d2c453cf

My neighborhood school collectively fundraised over $100,000 to support our neighbors with rent and bills this last month.

Now we need to do it all over again for March.

PLEASE HELP!

Every family we're working to keep housed & fed has elementary aged children.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Yankees fans pray the World Series drought ends. For their kids, 'It has been a lifetime'

Teams with longer World Series win droughts than the Yankees: Guardians, Pirates, Orioles, Tigers, Mets, Athletics, Reds, Twins, Blue Jays, Diamondbacks, Angels, Marlins, White Sox, Phillies. Teams that have never won: Mariners, Padres, Rays, Brewers, and Rockies. www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...

Good time to remind everyone that "no fap" and similar anti masturbation pushes are — and this is not hyperbole — literal Third Reich Nazi propaganda that was digested through the bowels of 4chan and shat out in its current form.

The end of DOE’s grid work in Puerto Rico The Trump administration has canceled all eight of the remaining awards devoted to distributed energy on the island.

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

very interested to hear the justification from evangelicals about why they hate this performance which appeared to me to be full of mainstream traditional values like marriage, family units, blue collar work, then literally ended with the performer saying “god bless America” in English

Fun fact: The divorce scene in the Kid Rock show was an actual divorce showing a wife leaving her conservative husband.

Like Kendrick, political as hell precisely because it doesn't bother to acknowledge the haters. They're irrelevant, beneath attention. And nothing is more intolerable to fascists than the thought that their enemies are cool, enjoying themselves, and not thinking about them.

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.

The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.

Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.
