Rough game for Coffey so far. Lots of wayward passes. #USWNT

Not a great performance by #USWNT so far but we do have Emily Fox launching Chloe Lacasse into space so call it even.

Two votes. Just insane.

I say let them drag out the recount and lawsuit process as long as possible. Just set that money on fire, boys.

Every trans person is like "I knew something was up before I had the words to describe it and had to fight for this for years" and every transphobe is like "one conversation with a doctor could have convinced me to get the walrus surgery from the movie 'The Walrus'"

May their memory be a blessing, and a reminder that electing unserious men carries serious consequences.

Between this and all the fighters getting lost off carriers, the whole approach of replacing technical competence with "lethality" and the "warrior mindset" doesn't seem to be working out so well.

And Noem has been personally holding up much of the funding because of her decision to personally sign off on all the contracts.

We're about to have a bunch of "Portuguese" tempranillo and manchego

I think anyone broadly on the left should think very carefully about giving a government run by Il Douche more power, even if you think it's for a good reason.

Dirty rice. In Louisiana, a mixture of cooked meat and rice is called "dirty rice". It's not new, it's not just for boys, and it's not "kibble". It's one of the sides on Popeye's menu, y'all (though I think theirs is made from ground chicken).

I'm not military obvs but referring to a casualty of war as a "squirter" feels kinda disrespectful?

The savings we're getting here by annihilating decades of American science will pay for whole minutes of the operation to create decades of death, immiseration, and chaos in Iran.

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

There were def people in Washington who advised Trump not to do this, basically saying, "hes 90, hes had cancer twice, hes going to die soon anyway. Dont make him a martyr for the cause". He didnt listen.

Well, RFK's HHS leadership is basically predicated on "ignorance is strength", so why not

One of my colleagues wrote about this over 30 years ago, noting that Congress was all about "blame avoidance" in foreign policy, which basically made the president a king

sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this

Hegseth pulls off a left-wing coup here - getting elite universities to stop collaborating with the military has been a big goal of the far left for decades!

One of the West Wing's lasting legacies is Bruno Gianelli's rant about how Democrats respond to GOP extremism by rolling up and saying, "Please. Don't. Hurt. Me."

When Ds are told to not talk about something like trans rights because of the polls, it’s “Please. Don't. Hurt. Me” politics in action.

What in the Joe Exotic is that

In 1938, the German Reich invalidated all German Jewish passports.

They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as a Jew.

In 2026, the state of Kansas invalidated all correct trans drivers licenses.

They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as trans.

Not even @maddox.xmission.com from 25 years ago hates kids' art this much.

Who does this? What does this accomplish other than cruelty? I really struggle to get into the mindset of someone who would just arbitrarily take crayons from kids.

Nominative determinism wins again

Three words:
Venus.
Fly.
Traps.

A key aspect of this is how culture war politics function as a way of creating a scapegoat for elites - elite impunity requires the public's ire to be directed at anything other than those who deserve it.

A Venus flytrap kit? I'm sold.

One utility of education is teaching people how to discern trustworthiness in sources. Great thread describing how LLMs make that impossible.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
