Graph title "2026 is already one of the worst years for US measles infections since 2000"

Graph shows sharp rise in measles cases throughout 2025 and even moreso in the start of 2026

Idiots: vaccines don't work. Durrr

World: have some fucking measles with a side of mumps, dumbasses

Seems to me that if you're upset that there's not more of a student movement fighting fascism in 2026, the first place to direct your anger is the people who crushed the wave of student organizing that crested in the months immediately preceding the fascists' rise to power.

So Daughter of the Sun is about a trickster goddess disguised as a mortal who goes on a road trip with a lady paladin whose job is hunting and banishing gods back to the divine realm, and who has no idea she’s falling for the enemy. It is EXQUISITE.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

I yelled, “No!” which I’m not supposed to do; I’m always supposed to speak respectfully to the clients, even when they’re about to accidentally commit suicide.

Screenshot of an X post by HasanAbi commenting on how to discuss trans issues with median voters. The post quotes Marco Foster, who says the anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to distract from tax discussions and notes that very few trans kids compete in high school sports there. Below is a podcast-style video still of a man speaking into a microphone.

When you hear them target any vulnerable community—immigrants, trans people, refugees—ask first why they're trying to distract and divide us. Don't fall for it.

This is an important fact that everyone should know: Real rednecks historically were and should be antiestablishment socialists who hate cops. This guy explains it more brilliantly than I ever could

also basically any attack on a country will rally a lot of folks who live there to the government’s side on the basis of “we don’t like being attacked” which is only demonstrated by, well, the entirety of military history

Imagine a Britain where we had used the profits from North Sea Oil to prepare for it running out and having a transport network that works rather than giving rich people a tax cut.
