For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.

*screenshot of feed*; Poster 1 - “true crime brain has fucked people up so bad and they get really mad when you point that out. and also that the entire true crime industry is predatory and exploitative” Poster 2 - “I'm from Shreveport. I wrote about the tragic murders of these kiddos.”

You might think that, but actually…

A slice of "big mac" pizza on a paper plate. Toppings: ground beef, pickles, american cheese, big mac sauce, sesame seed crust

This might make you sad right now, but if you ever go to Denver and try the big mac slices, you'll probably be pretty happy.

New head cannon: Bowser produced all their koopalings via parthenogenesis.

Didn’t you ever wonder where all the kids came from, with no moms in sight?

The far side of the moon fills the foreground (left), in the distance (right) the Earth is seen as a small white/blue crescent.

Moon's Farside in the Foreground, Earth Beyond Seen from behind the Moon during Artemis II, the Moon and Earth align in the same frame, each partially illuminated by the Sun. The Moon’s surface appears in sharp detail in the foreground, while Earth sits much farther away, smaller and softly lit in the background. A faint reflection in the spacecraft window is also visible, subtly overlaying the scene. Though their phases differ, both are shaped by the same sunlight, revealing the geometry of the Sun–Earth–Moon system from deep space. Credit: NASA

And there it is, *the* shot.

It's not so much that a lot of people use it for that - but that someone has recently embarrassed them, with chatGPT's inability to do some basic tasks around timers and counting.

Illustrating the large gap between these agents' proclaimed hype and their current capabilities.

Chicago Turns All Public School IDs Into Library Cards To Boost Student Access Chicago Public Library and CPS announced the expansion of The 81 Club, building on a pilot launched in 2022 to give students access to the library system's vast collection and databases.

This is such a good idea. We should do this in NYC.

"All Chicago Public Schools students now have access to nearly everything the city’s libraries have to offer — including physical items like books as well as extensive digital resources."

Welp, party done.

Obviously not a substitute for Congress doing its job, but now would be a good time for Clinton, W, Obama, and Biden to say something jointly.

Accountability is very important. Without it, the people who do bad things are just emboldened to do more bad things. You vote for a capitalist, and you'll never see accountability. If you vote for a capitalist from either party, all these criminals walk free. Divine justice is fake. It's up to us.

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch

This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days

Another one of those what-if-it-happened-in-another-country moments:

The president is suing the government for $100 million dollars for searching his home for the classified documents he stole, and the attorney who represented him on those charges is currently leading the Justice Department.

The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."

FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."

hmm

Now any white man promoted has to be considered suspect because he may well have taken the place of a more qualified black or female officer personally removed from the promotion list by Hegseth.

It’s arguably less a war than it is just a string of war crimes

A screenshot of two tweets by Representative Nancy Mace. The first, published at 8:02AM today, reads: "To anyone celebrating "Trans Day of Visibility" today, we sincerely hope you get the help you need." The second, published at 9:06 AM reads: "The media wants to talk about Bryon and Kristi Noem's personal drama and indiscretions. I want to talk about who is getting deported, who got paid, and who's stealing from taxpayers. Different priorities. Let's focus on what matters."

"trans ideology is a sickness."

[reads the news]

"people's personal affairs are none of our business and we should talk about immigration"

Somehow just looking at these images summoned macintosh plus from the backrooms of my mind.

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

People like making long posts, waaay more than they like reading them.

Always wild to watch the main character of the day, succumbing to poaster's madness.

With each wildly unhinged reply, pulling more randos and shitpoasters into the pile-on, until the whole mess collapses in on itself, and they're just left shouting profanities into the void.

It's time to start demanding UBI, the right to healthcare regardless of income, the right to housing, and the right to basic necessities. There is enough for everyone, the billionaires are holding us hostage.

THINKIN BOUT YOU - FRANK OCEAN (GUITAR COVER) YouTube video by Justice Der

This is nice! The horn especially…
But it kinda feels like he’s biting Justice Ders: youtu.be/boexE-33Uck

A quote by Rick Owens. It reads: "Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead."

The proliferation of this quote is so interesting to me. It's often posted by right wing chuds who use it to defend conventional aesthetic ideas — such as the importance of having a lean, athletic body — but they don't really understand Owens's work.

Let's talk about it. 🧵

Just gonna say that is not a dodge. It is a confirmation that he would absolutely without hesitation and knowingly break the law for Trump.

Senators will hear that as a dodge, but that's because they refuse to believe what these lunatics are saying.

quote from BBC article: [Adam Mosseri, who heads Instagram, testified in court that even 16 hours of Instagram use did not strike him as an addiction. Mosseri instead referred to someone spending almost an entire day on social media as "problematic". ] - (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0mg3zd7xwpo)

Thinks spending the entire day on insta might be problematic; has determined that 16 hrs/day is “OK” though.

We’re left to conclude it’s not a problem till you’re using it 24hrs a day. - www.bbc.com/news/article...
