Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about.

This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

“What are the best and worst Morrissey lyrics?”

For me. This was built for me. I love this truck so hard.

Sight unseen, I’m going to guess that a Nextdoor post from someone named Peggy is going to kick off a high drama thread.

Live From Minneapolis (3/31/2026) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

For the first time ever, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will stream the two opening songs of the Springsteen & E Street Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour kickoff in Minneapolis — live and free at approximately 7:30 p.m. CT tonight!

Having obsessively whipped through book 1, I’m afraid that this is my future.

in general you can save yourself a lot of trouble by staying away from those guys who use acronyms

Still figuring out what’s next. But I will say:

To any candidate who wants help setting up a new style of campaign, who needs advice on integrating mutual aid in their operations, who has questions about any weird, fun, unconventional part of our race,

I would love to talk. Let me know.

Hi! The Onion and Bluesky are throwing a party at South By Southwest in Austin on Saturday. It's free and spots are limited, so sign up nowish.

We did this last year and only a handful of people died, so we're hoping to keep those numbers down once again!

This is not a joke: I need someone to check for a lost stuffed animal on campus at UT-Knoxville outside Thompson-Boling. DM me for details.

2026 basically

I see that only a tiny fraction of you, my Bluesky friends, also follow @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social on here. Why not go follow right now? My guess is the more eyeballs we get here, the more attention we can give Bluesky relative to other social media platforms!

This Is What It Looks Like When Nothing Matters Welcome to the internet’s nihilism crisis.

I wrote about something I've been thinking about for a long time. A kind of post-ironic collapse in our politics and culture where nihilism has become the lingua franca of the internet and beyond. It links Kirk, Clavicular, Epstein, memestock/coin stuff, mass shooters. I hope you'll read it.

I feel this high every time my wife and I watch The Goonies, and I’m reminded that she is the only person in the world who loves that movie more than I do.

Same with Willow. Once I had those two data points, I knew I’d found my one true love.

I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

Hard to imagine what could be more awe-inspiring than this.

Could not agree more. Turns out that having a spine is a plus in governance during an existential threat to our democracy. Would be nice if said spine sticks around for awhile.

WHO KNEW that pushing back on an administration hell bent on creating a masked secret police who brutalized the populace would play so well with the electorate????

Fire every consultant who pushed for “kitchen sink issue” messaging in 2026.

Blessings for friends in Minneapolis, standing up for what's right, facing deadly danger. May you be fortified in coming days by small signs foretelling your victory.

The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you.

Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

I've covered ICE / DHS for about a decade now and more ICE agents are willing to talk now than ever before. The confidence the administration is trying to project is absolutely not reflected internally.

“We all want to see the Ark of the Covenant be acquired by a responsible steward, and Indiana Jones is only throwing gas on the flames!”

Noem:

"An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."

Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit.

Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

Well worth a watch.

Another case of normie radicalization. This guy is the former president of a local HOA, a web developer for real estate companies and a self proclaimed "member of the square community" and he's out in the streets.

Walz Reports ‘Another Horrific Shooting’ Involving Federal Agents In Minnesota Video Saturday showed federal agents wrestling a man to the ground outside a donut shop before shots rang out.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)
