Absolutely /do not/ lick it.
Keep far away from any Supermen.
If a wingéd creature emerges, do not agree to any pacts.

Let's talk about the science here.

unless and until republicans agree to a ceasefire in the form of strict anti-gerrymandering provisions: fuck them to hell, squeeze every last drop of blood from the stone, lock them out of every seat you can

Once again "the death of the West" meant "the death of my secret bank account."

I stared at this photo *way too long* wondering when they jettisoned Orion's heat shield - and how they found it on the seafloor - before I realized the divers took the photo looking *up* at the bottom of Orion.

From an amateur fencer: look how the dominant fighter barely does any flourishes--it's all to the point flow

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

I know historians aren’t supposed to predict the future, but sometimes the patterns are really clear.

Which is time not being spent raising money for Anera.

(Reassuringly) No, see, this is like Vietnam

Some days you wake up and immediately start to worry. Nothing in particular is wrong. It's just the suspicion that forces are aligning quietly and there will be trouble.

Mexico to probe security role of US officials killed in Chihuahua car crash — Reuters Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday she was not ​aware U.S. embassy officials were working with the ‌northern state of Chihuahua to combat drug cartels and said her government would rev...

Mexico's president says it's news to her that American and Chihuahuan officials had teamed up to fight the cartels on Mexican soil.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

a bear vacuuming a floor as a japanese salaryman looks on in terror

found out about the manga kuma gurashi which is like those ones where a manic pixie dream girl comes into a salaryman's life and starts doing all his domestic chores for him to heal his heart except in this one it's a realistically drawn bear and the salaryman is terrified on every single page

It seems like the fact that this political movement -- what, 25, 30% of the country? -- has effectively convinced itself of a grand collective paranoid hallucination ... that this hallucination has reached the highest echelons & is now dictating strategy ... ought to ...

I dunno, matter?

the funny thing about Peter Thiel is that he is literally a vampire in the sense that he tries to use human blood to stay young but he is also metaphorically a vampire in the sense that he's an utterly amoral capitalist, and actually it's the metaphorical kind of vampirism that's worse.

annual reminder for people heading to
the Boston Marathon finish line: you have one job as a spectator and

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

It's silly and wrong to act like Trump was gonna be committed to pacifist foreign policy before the Israelis blackmailed him. And, yes, it is in fact anti-Semitic. For one thing, there's evidently a section of the American military establishment who have been gagging for war with Iran for decades.

i was just saying to a friend a few days ago that trump's public opinion collapse opens up the field of possibilities in ways that are truly unpredictable. it is one thing for a president to be this popular at the *end* of their turn, but not even two years in?

i also think that some of the delayed response — both culturally and politically — stems from it being functionally impossible to wrap your head around how wealthy someone like elon musk is and how wealthy he is going to be in the future, both for the average person and for policy makers alike
