It's very very funny when American news outlets panic over stuff like baby boxes which are very normal in other western countries (Like Scotland) as if its a brand new communist terror threat unheard of throughout the globe.

The Not-So-Great Replacement Theory, Revisited The success of Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral primary in New York City has predictably set of the worst possible takes from the worst possible people. And while I'm generally loathe to drag out any pos...

Some perspective on the great conservative freak-out about Mamdani in NYC:

Masked men in U.S. Border Patrol vests take Santa Ana father after repeatedly hitting him In a graphic video that has since gone viral on social media, about seven or more masked men wearing U.S. Border Patrol vests are seen violently detaining a Santa Ana father before forcing him into…

KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

Cuomo's reemergence has already damaged the party by causing Democratic leaders do outright hypocrisy and cheapen #MeToo. The same people who ousted Al Franken for less than Cuomo's serial harassment, then ousted Cuomo himself, now endorse him.

A functional party would coordinate to say "stay out"

I'm not sure who turned my words into a meme, and included U.S. citizens (most of whom do not want a new war!), but I appreciate how many people are connecting with it.

May all of us, in all of our different situations, somehow help bring the justice this world so desperately needs. 💔

Well not going to throw away our insta pot, but certainly won’t buy from them ever again.

Actually meant to repost this. I guess I'm hasty and disorganized as well...

Update: This seems quite disorganized. A reader I trust sent it to me but now she says she's iffy on it too

Probably just hastily organized.

okay, so. i have bipolar disorder. we have a suicide rate of about 1/5. i've basically spent my entire teenage and adult life trying not to kill myself. so with that in mind, here are my tips on how to hang in there: 1) don't isolate. i know all the excuses. but don't do it

As a father of five kids, I totally agree with this evergreen post.

In the space of half a day, the new administration has trashed the Constitution, subverted the independence of the DOJ, granted a broad amnesty to traitors, abandoned the global community on climate and public health, and launched a wide-ranging attack on minority rights.

I don’t know who did this, but thank you 🤣

When Do Parties Lie? Misinformation and Radical-Right Populism Across 26 Countries - Petter Törnberg, Juliana Chueri, 2025 The spread of misinformation has emerged as a global concern. Academic attention has recently shifted to emphasize the role of political elites as drivers of mi...

Lol. Of course everyone already knows what the results will be. Sure enough: "we find that radical-right populism is the strongest determinant for the propensity to spread misinformation. Populism, left-wing populism, and right-wing politics are not linked to the spread of misinformation."

I’m in England, in a field of Barley. Today, I’m going to collect wild yeast under that tree back there, and I’m going to show how to feed and grow it until it’s ready to bake with. We are going to start at the very beginning, and end at the end.

I get the Shreds when I do that.

Nothing to worry about here, just a political purge of our national security apparatus that will replace long-serving experts with dimwitted bootlickers.

I'm sure our safety and security won't be impacted at all.

There is a word for my specific brand of morning insomnia.

With gratitude I am overwhelmed by the response

Grotesquely wealthy people (for some unknown reason) would like to take away whatever benefits you have. And yet there is no possible way they can even spend the money they already have.

Thanks for making me spit up my last cup of coffee.

Yes, as is cereal in milk.

Random opened can of Ligo squid sitting on a wall

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to eat more squid. But come on, it’s not even 2025, give me a week before nagging me.

There can be only one!

A round jellyfish with glowing golden stripes on the bell and long tendril tentacles against a background of deep sea sediment.

An anemone with many white thin tentacles

Happy New Year from invertebrates that look like fireworks.
