“Competence porn” - we need more of that in our current chaotic existence

JHC. 😱 Paraphrased:
"how should investors view genocide and war crimes? should they expect an uptick in their portfolios? or a downturn?"

great documentary series about the Persian people and how their art, science, food, and culture has shaped humanity....arguably more than any other.

I think I recall it was to do with recognizing crimes from other states (reciprocity of a sort) - an FL doesn’t “recognize” his NY crimes.

SIMONE @parasocialyte my family was doing the seder questions ("why is this night different from all other nights") and my dad went "because we have been freed from Pam Bondage" 8:51 PM • 4/2/26

This tweet just received a full-blown guffaw from my dad

"The Nights Are Quiet in Tehran,” by Shida Bazyar and translated from the original German by Ruth Martin. Bazyar’s novel traces a family’s life from communist activism during the revolution to the anguish of watching the Tehran street protests of recent decades from abroad."

Pam Bondi? More like Pam GONEdi…. Amirite?!

Friends don’t let astronauts friends use Microsoft Outlook. I wonder if Mission Control in Houston will set up a Teams meeting to solve this IT problem? 🤪🙄🤦‍♂️😉

Good ROI -- shooting down $20k drones with $4,000,000 missiles. 🤯 Everything is a choice and you can tell a lot about folks by their budgetary decisions. And don't get me started with the whole betting on war actions

not mutually exclusive choices ;-)

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.

Damn, this series of really brutal polls on the economy

🤣

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Hey I did a fun thing with @warren.senate.gov about breaking up giant healthcare conglomerates

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

This administration just wants to hurt people in states that didn’t vote for them

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.

I learned a lot.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

He knows the truth… He chooses to lie about it

i am a bari hater and take no pleasure in reporting this but nellie does seem to have been on the up and up re epstein: she contributed reporting to at least one story on him (www.nytimes.com/2019/07/08/n...) and also specifically wrote about him emailing her (www.nytimes.com/2019/09/14/b...)

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. And in case you never gave it a fair shake, DS9 is absolutely the real deal good shit. Ok, so here we see a fella named Damar. He's a Cardassian with a "C" not the other ones. He's got a boney ridgey facial structure because he's not human, with spiney features on his face and forehead and around his eyes. And a mega thicc neck too. He's wearing a military shell type armour outfit that also looks hard and tough. He's addressing the camera, as if he's making some kind of announcement. It's 3 screenshots but the visual is all the same. Damar looking serious as a heart attack. Closed caption reads, "RESIST. RESIST TODAY. RESIST TOMORROW." (Also, in case you were wondering, FUCK ICE)

Alts in pic 1

Alt is still in pic one I promise I'm not lying to you go check it'll be there trust me
