btw for trans women to offer this kind of practical warning and sympathy is a serious mitzvah and we cis women really owe it to them (and to ourselves!) to step up our solidarity in kind

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has six panels. A caption at the top says "History, Rhyming." PANEL 1 A close up of someone's hand lying limply on the ground, in sepia tones. CAPTION: August 20, 1965: Civil rights activist Jonathan Daniels put himself between a deputy sheriff and the black teen the deputy was attacking. The deputy shot Daniels to death. PANEL 2 A close up of a gloved hand lying limply on snowy pavement, a cell phone lying nearby. Drawn in blue tones. CAPTION: January 24 2026: Anti-fascist activist Alex Pretti put himself between border protection agents and the woman the agents were attacking. The agents shot Pretti to death. PANEL 3 This panel is divided in two, sepia on the left and blues on the right. On the sepia side, a man inn a suit sneers. On the right side, a man in a border patrol uniform sneers. BOTH (in unison): He was intended to commit a massacre! CAPTION (sepia side): Arthur Gamble: Corrupt prosecutor who threw the case. CAPTION (blue side): Gregory Bovino: Border Patrol Commander. PANEL 4 Another panel divided into sepia and blue sides. On the sepia side is a cheerful middle-aged man in a suit. On the right side are two masked Border Patrol agents. ALL THREE (unison): I was in fear for my life! CAPTION (sepia side): Tom Coleman, Daniels' murderer. CAPTION (blue side): Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez, Pretti's murderers. PANEL 5 On the sepia side, three people with 1960s haircuts are angrily yelling. On the blue side, same thing except with current-day hair and clothes. ALL (unison): If he hadn't put himself where he didn't belong he'd still be alive! Cops have to make split-second judgements! Law! Order! Bark bark bark bark woof! CAPTION: Boot-licking stooges. PANEL 6 In a clearing, surrounded by grass, trees, and shrubs, two men talk to each other. One, wearing a clerical collar, is "Jonathan Daniels, 1939-1965." The other, wearing a winter jacket and baggy jeans, is "Alex Pretti, 1989-2026."

This one hits hard.

Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional.

Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO.

USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+

NOT.

DRILL.

I was missing the school figures this year in particular. Not flashy but definitely showed expertise and it forced a level of

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

The CBC made this clever & cute video that uses kids to explain the rules of curling:

Oh no!

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

Absolutely worth your time to read through this educational thread.

It’s good messaging, and Democrats across the country should be using it. And it’s powerful because it’s simple and connects concerns of the working and middle class to an admin that is hostile to those concerns and is instead laser-focused on elite impunity and interested of the uber-wealthy.

Cross country skiing variations:
Biathlon- shoot a gun every lap
Skiathlon- switch skis halfway through
Bovathlon- milk a cow every other lap
Mathathlon- complete five math problems in the final 200m of every lap
Groovathlon- half the race must be completed while doing those rave dancing hands

Yeah. We are going to need more of The Muppet Show revival.

The U.S. ranks 40th in healthcare—dead last on this list—yet Congress keeps shoveling billions into ICE. We fund raids, cages, and weapons while people die waiting for care. This isn’t incompetence. It’s priorities. And they’re lethal.

So excited!!

Anti-ICE protest draws massive crowd at South Portland facility, feds deploy tear gas Thousands of demonstrators marched on the ICE building, leading federal officers to launch pepper balls and tear gas at them.

He’s just describing The American Dream but you’re supposed to hate it for some reason

For the record, I'm fine with open borders. Especially if this is the alternative. Fuck this.

The people who are saying shit like "well it's either this or the borders are totally open" are doing their best to convince America that we should have completely open borders.

Catherine O’Hara Could Do Anything And she pretty much did everything. The only tragedy is that it feels like she was just beginning to get the recognition her decades-long career always deserved.

For The Ringer, I wrote about how amazing it was that the brilliant Catherine O'Hara finally became a superstar in her 60s, and how sad it is that she was taken from us just when we had all finally begun to appreciate her:

In my ongoing attempts to give you a break from *gestures widely* THE HORRORS:

Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring.

Here's a weird starting point:
There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr.

Cats that roar = genus Panthera
Cats that purr = genus Felis

Same

It’s a long way from the happy bat incident, that’s for sure.

I don’t know how to process the horrific fire hose of tragedy that has been omnipresent but has spiked this weekend, and I suspect I’m not alone. We aren’t meant to carry this much suffering and be able to function at “normal” capacity. Be gentle with yourself and others, if you can.
