BREAKING: Son of the most powerful man on the planet who's name is on dozens of golf courses and buildings and shakes down every institution for payoffs and bribes is rich. HOW DID HE DO IT

Me on Chappelle in 2021: “Watching Chappelle contort himself to justify ashy ideas about gender, queerness and identity is harrowing, because the only thing more brutal than someone saying hurtful shit is someone saying hurtful shit moments after making you laugh…”

Witnesses Assumed Charlie Kirk Shooter Was Just Ordinary Gunman On School Campus

For those praising Charlie Kirk, ask them if they agree with Kirk when he said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, MLK was an awful person, Palestine doesn't exist, women's place is under their husband, and that the white supremacist "replacement theory" is real.

I'd love to hear the answers.

bold choice of a guy to go to the mat for, bestie

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah took down X posts Tuesday making an apparent connection between Gov. Tim Walz and the man accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, and blaming “Marxists” for the murders. The change comes after blowback from Sen. Tina Smith and her staffers as well as Minnesota Democratic and Republican lawmakers. One X post said “Nightmare on Waltz Street,” with pictures of Boelter, who is accused of killing Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and shooting Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in the early morning hours of June 14. Boelter also went to the homes of two other state lawmakers that night; one house was empty, and at the other, a police officer pulled up to the house shortly after Boelter arrived, so Boelter left. Another Lee post read, “This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way,” with a picture of Boelter.

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Do not let The New York Times gaslight you with this "America in Mourning" bullshit

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Call me crazy, but I am capable of both disagreeing with political violence and also not being forced to express empathy for someone who wanted me stoned to death.

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

It's simple. They see themselves in him. They do not see themselves in his targets.

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR

MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Losing my goddamned mind.

We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump • 27m In honor of Charlie Kirk, a truly Great American Patriot, I am ordering all American Flags throughout the United States lowered to Half Mast until Sunday evening at 6 P.M.

abcNEWS Trump says calling Walz after Minnesota shootings would be 'waste of time' "I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out," Trump said. By Rachel Scott June 17, 2025, 12:44 PM • 5 min ET read

Sigh.

mamdani had his fourth meeting with jeffries, and jeffries continues to withhold an endorsement in a race against a corrupt cop, a fascist, and a sex criminal who intentionally handed the state senate to republicans and gerrymandered against the democrats.

Holy shit. This legit gave me chills.

Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote.

WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.

At (another) Hampton’s fundraiser with Republican donors on Saturday, Andrew Cuomo said it plainly: he’s expecting Trump’s help to defeat us in November.

“I feel good about that,” Cuomo said.

New Yorkers won’t.

As always, Ted Chiang is great in this interview.

interesting how some tech bros claim college is overrated and people should drop out but “Ph.D level” is a marker of expertise

As someone who studies how racism & ableism harm kids of color-this is going exactly as expected.

Black & Brown kids are already over represented in special education, specifically emotional & behavioral disabilities-and will be the ones who will be subjected to racist AI generated behavior plans

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Last fall, the First Lego League project was focused on the ocean, so we had a massive number of requests for marine biologists come in to Skype a Scientist. I just got word that this year's theme is archaeology.

Know any archaeologists? tell them we're gonna NEED 'em.
