Rob or Robert.

an NYT opinion piece/guest essay is headlined "donor organs are too rare. we need a new definition of death."

oh that seems concerning

Trump Went to War With the Ivies. Community Colleges Are Being Hit.

the trump administration is selling its war on higher education as a strike against the elites who have disadvantaged ordinary americans. in actuality, the administration is destroying advanced education for *everyone* in pursuit of its effort to deskill the american public

Not telling parents how to grieve their child, but the people around them encouraging that mess need to be shamed forever

Sydney Sweeney registered to be a Republican and moved to Florida in 2024, so she seems to be pretty on board with what the party and almost worse, what FLORIDA stands for. We're not in an era of nuance, so while I'm reacting exactly the way a "woke" person would, she really can go fuck herself.

I love how this eulogy keeps describing the show like a drug relapse.

iPod ads used to play a serious role in music tastemaking.

Texas House Democrats offer a brief response to Gov. Greg Abbott's threat of arrest and expulsion: "Come and take it."

If we still did real politics in this country, Rep Casar would respond to this gerrymander by stepping down as CPC Chair, reinvent himself as a Blue Dog, and just fight like hell to win in his new Trump+10 seat. 8:25 AM · Jul 30, 2025 · 73.2K Views MikeyK🐊 @mmg_krichevsky · 4h If we still did real politics in this country, Rep Casar would abandon his beliefs to maybe win his new gerrymandered district????

I will never understand how people can be so invested in politics while believing in absolutely nothing.

I would understand.

Bad job numbers = fire the job numbers guy.

From now on, we cannot trust any statistics coming from the administration. Enjoy, Wall Street.

I'm genuinely curious to see how the media and public at large deals with this. Biden spent his campaign saying "The economy is good. Look at the numbers." And everyone said "no." This guy's basically admitting "I'm gonna fudge the numbers."

Haru fucking Nemuri, y’all.

We may be broke, exhausted, and traumatized, but at least we're hot. 💅

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Seeing Kamala Harris openly say that the system is broken was so powerful.

Just having someone in her position say it so candidly without qualification was beyond powerful.

As far as I'm concerned, Paul Etheredge's HELLBENT is not only a significant slasher entry, but a crucial queer horror text. In a just world, we would have had numerous super gay sequels and that horned devil would be a Halloween costume staple. Great piece from @gayofthedead.bsky.social.

Can’t pay your student loans back? Maybe you’re not kidnapping enough dads.

The thing about the “pre-existing condition” defense is THEY BLEW UP ALL THEIR FUCKING HOSPITALS A YEAR AGO.

Big coming from a dude who keeps voting to confirm Trump nominees.

We’re at the” Epstein Island is actually a peninsula” phase of things. Good times.

✌️Hand it✌️to Marjorie Taylor Greene in front of me at your own risk. Just saying.

Emil Bove looks rodent as fuck.

"The man who is not yet mayor is to blame for a shooting that happened under the watch of an ex-cop mayor who's thrown every available dollar at the NYPD," insists sex pest

The Cowardice of Senate Democrats Made Emil Bove’s Confirmation Possible Senate Democrats could have confirmed Biden nominee Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit last year. They caved to a disgraceful right-wing smear campaign instead.

Emil Bove's confirmation was only possible because Democrats caved to a vile right-wing smear campaign of Adeel Mangi, who would have been the first Muslim appeals court judge, when Biden nominated him for the same seat last year. Absolutely disgraceful. Bove's confirmation is on them, too.

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Liam and Pamela? Hot.

This was my first thought too...like how did he even remember her existence if nothing untoward was going on?

Klobuchar has the opportunity to do something very funny that would also, you know, be the right thing to do anyway.
