the degree to which i feel like i am living in the pre-title montage of a post-apocalyptic movie cannot be overstated.

Pushing for a cease fire so you can look good in a genocide you specifically enabled, at the same time as you’re assaulting your own democracy & waging war on your own cities, is never going to get you a prize for peace. If there’s a prize for hypocrisy and narcissism though, you’ve got a real shot.

Ukeleles being strummed en masse. Chickens openly addressing government officials. Line dancing in a public thoroughfare. Frogs, unicorns and dinosaurs getting their interspecies groove on.

Portland is lost. May God and Donald Trump save what's left of the United States of America.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

A highland cow having a little nap on a boulder on Dartmoor (ok, it was actually scratching its head)

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.

They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whiteness— for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justify—as a racial war. They will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sins—that is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.

James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

Screenshot of court order, which reads in part: “A combined hearing on the preliminary injunction motion land a trial on the meries under Rule 65(al(2) is set for October 29, 2025l before the Honorable Judge Karin J. Immergut, in Courtroom 13A, beginning at 9:00 a.m.”

While we were sleeping:

A federal judge in Oregon has blocked the Trump administration from deploying any federalized National Guard—Texas, California, the state’s own—in Oregon.

That’s big news. Even bigger: She’s decided to hold a trial on the merits. That is: She’s putting people under oath.

SOYBEAN FARMER SOUNDS OFF: Trump’s trade war is crushing farmers. Now Trump is giving $20B to Argentina—the same country taking much of America’s soybean market.

Soybeans are the no. 1 cash crop in Tennessee.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply can’t feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

I suspect a party platform of 1) turning back every Trump action and policy, 2) arresting every employee of ICE for involvement in or abetting of crimes against humanity, would do very well.

Y'know I'm not supposed to say that word things are correct or incorrect because that's classist and snobby and gatekeeping etc.?

"Woah" is incorrect.

Imagine standing on a grassy headland, the wind brushing against your face, carrying the scent of sea and earth. Before you, shallow ponds glisten like fragments of sky, their stillness set against the restless movement of the waves beyond. Dark, rocky shores curve into the water, and far on the horizon, muted mountains fade into a heavy sky of layered clouds. In that vast silence, you feel small yet free - part of the raw beauty that stretches endlessly around you.

Sometimes silence, wind, and open space are all the company one needs.

I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.

At some point the “this isn’t who we are” and “I didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT?

WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

So exhausting..

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats.

The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

I'm pretty sure that Trump isn't panicking because the Epstein files would hurt him with the public but because full disclosure would hurt the people who could hurt him.

The next time anyone from DOJ so references their agency they need to be immediately corrected. It's now DOR, the U.S. Department of Revenge, which pairs nicely with the new Department of War.

The trash who now govern us have outflanked Orwell entirely. They show you the lies and just shrug.

Cuomo could never.

The president stood in front of the UN and whined about a malfunctioning escalator and tomorrow 15 centrist pundits are going to write the same op-ed they’ve written for a solid decade scolding the left to not get outraged over every little thing, by which they mean human rights.

My memory of Claudia Cardinale is indeed a blessing. Saw her in a rerelease showing of Once Upon A Time In The West in a big-screen theater in D.C. at the age of 12.

Have not been right since.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I'm not sure what's going on, but this year's freshman class is giving me ... what was that word ... hope?

They're energized and excited, they're doing the reading and doing it well, they're asking great questions and offering smart answers too.

Is this just me or are others seeing it?

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.
