A yellow "caution wet floor" standee. The bottom is flared so it looks like a banana peel.

Standee, deployed

This object is a legitimate masterpiece of design

Since Trump was too chicken to show up to the Super Bowl, can we just boo him all over the internets so he doesn't miss out?

Someone on TV vaguely says "Obviously there's a disgusting rotten stench in our country right now. Just an indescribable filth" and our big beautiful president immediately logs on to go "NO IM NOT"

kinda weird that the super bowl isn't free for anyone to stream given what the advertisers pay for the commercials

Finally made it to a local anti-ice training and I feel a lot more empowered. Being scared shitless all the time sucks and part of being scared shitless but able to still function a bit is finding your role and learning other people’s roles so you know the system and how to keep ur feet under you.

by contrast, i am mentioned exactly zero times

My first grader (a US citizen) came home from school crying because a friend from class (also a US citizen) hasn’t been coming to school because his parents (one of whom is not a citizen) are afraid of ICE.

Little kids don’t have concepts of racism and xenophobia. That has to be taught. Or imposed.

This does sound like a lot...

Imagine being called a loser by a man who pressures people to give him their trophies.

Even better. I can't make stock because if I start 'boiling carcasses' it will make Bill angry.

The most realistic part of Lord of the Rings is that none of the characters are having a good time and everyone wishes the events hadn't happened to them

This stuff is the truth!

i am a little worried that time is going to sand off the edges of how stupid this all is. that i'm going to forget. i want to remember. i have to remember how stupid it is

I actually forgot about this bit from the one pager I wrote.

They fast tracked Tulsi Gabbard's nomination because there was a bit of snow.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

(wait! before I actually log off!)

You know what you call a bar that serves even one, single, lonely, solitary Nazi (v much including the current American iterations)?

You call it a Nazi bar.

This weekend and always: Don't open a Nazi bar!

KICK 'EM OUT, BARKEEPS 💪

Speaking of Kid Rock, remember when Billboard interviewed him?

At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city.

“The Epstein class” is a keeper.

Flashback to this after Lutnick appearances in the Epstein files

He ran on a release the Files platform all while knowing what his own history was and while also planning to fill his administration’s senior ranks with multiple Epstein Island inquirers

For anyone interested, Sarah Gerard wrote a book about Caroline’s murder that includes a section on how Botstein’s indifference enabled violence against women at Bard. It includes a discussion of his one book, on the education of adolescents, which includes his thoughts on girls’ “menarche.”

Sex between faculty and undergraduates was permitted and tacitly encouraged. He berated a consent activist. Title IX proceedings were known to have his scorn. He personally intervened on behalf of male students accused of violence against women, including the man who murdered my friend Caroline.

A $50,000 Watch and Friendly Notes: One College Leader’s Ties to Epstein

Hard to overstate the extent to which Leon Botstein’s personal scorn for feminist anti-rape politics permeated Bard College’s culture while I was there. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...
