Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Person 1: Hi! I'd like a wake up call. Person 2: If the federal minimum wage had grown in step with worker productivity (like it did until the 1970s) it would be over $25 today. We're all being underpaid so billionaires can have another yact. Source: "The Minimum Wage," by ILR School Cornell University.

good morning

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

What neonatal Tylenol does to a motherfucker

Access to the internet shouldn't be a mandatory requirement of belonging to a society. People should be able to use physical currency, and receive physical mail, and connect with actual human beings when they have problems.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

But it's okay for America's billionaires (and Trump allies) to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

Do I have this right?

The question that'll really bake the noodle is: would these miserable assholes be able to perceive how shitty their genAI stuff if they weren't using it?

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

So much for the free speech commitments of thin skinned tech billionaires. They waited for a lame excuse to fire @karenattiah.bsky.social after she declined to take their buyout, which I knew they would do since they are nothing if not unsurprising, and here we are open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Part 1/2 of a 6-panel SMBC comic update. It this update, a young man consults a wise master to see if he should achieve total spiritual oneness or vain spiritual glory. The wise master points out there's more millionaires that enlightened people so it's a pretty big gamble.

I don't know if you can build ethics out of expected value, but I know that if I'm on a deserted island with someone who DOES think that, I'm running in the opposite direction.

one of the most important technological revolutions in modern history and you're likely not hearing anything about it because it's making the oligarchs who control our information environment poorer instead of richer

The media doesn't want you to know that like 92% of Americans died last year from illegal drugs. But we're not going to let them conceal the truth any longer.

Yup.

“ I realized we were doing a late night comedy show about loss. And that’s related to love because sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it.

My friends, I have never loved my country so desperately.”

the trans pride flag

Here is some non-satire for you:

Trans rights forever.

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

different types of shit, explained

love a typology

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

Let it forget all the violence against Democrats

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

A post from X by William Kory Amyx, who is running for Congress in Indiana. It reads: Today, news broke that Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University. Let me be blunt: I will not pretend to feel sorry for Charlie Kirk. For years, he has profited off division, peddled conspiracy theories, and targeted marginalized groups with rhetoric so toxic it has made this country less safe. He has called for public executions, mocked trans people as “abominations,” treated politics like a holy war — and in 2023, he even said that gun deaths were an “unfortunate” but acceptable price to keep the Second Amendment. Today, he became part of the very toll he once dismissed. That doesn’t make him a martyr — it makes him a cautionary tale about what happens when leaders treat human lives as expendable. That doesn’t mean I condone what happened. Political violence is wrong — always. It poisons our democracy, no matter who the target is. If we go down that path, America as we know it collapses. But here’s the truth: when you spend years throwing gasoline on the fire, you don’t get to act shocked when flames break out. Charlie Kirk built a career out of incitement. He’s not a victim of political violence so much as he is one of its architects. This is a reminder that words have consequences. Leaders — real leaders — should be lowering the temperature, not raising it. They should be uniting people around solutions, not cashing in on fear and hate.

This got a lot of people angry over on X

Out of respect for Charlie Kirk’s belief in the second amendment and skepticism about the utility of empathy I will not be mourning in accordance with his wishes

Dave Portnoy tweet saying ‘absolutely disgusting and disturbing video from Charlie Kirk shooting today. Hoping for the best for him and his family. Anybody who is happy about this is a disgusting human.’

Pop Crave Tweet: ‘Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy says he hopes a missile hits Greta Thunberg’s boat as she sails away with aid: “I hope they hit a f*cking, like, a missile on her boat. Knock that boat down. Greta or whatever her name is”

This explains it better than I can

I remember this. This was said right after elementary kids and their teachers got shot at Covenant School in Nashville. What a dark day.
Did he know be was sending out chickens that would later look for a roost?

Which AI chatbot is the biggest liar? A new report has found that AI chatbots, including OpenAI and Meta’s models, include false information in every third answer.

Ok sure Trump is a pedophile and a Nazi sympathizer, but at least he’s also destroying the jobs market

I can't tell you how excited I am to share this story. We've been buzzing about it in the office (well, Slack) for months. It's just insane www.wired.com/story/the-ba...
