Appreciating maps!!!

Matt Damon playing a 14th century French knight that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mullet. Beard. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and cigarette smoke.

Matt Damon while playing Odysseus who also looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Long, skinny beard. Smells like horseshit, pine tar, and perhaps Mediterranean herbs.

Matt Damon playing a 19th century cowboy that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mustache. Shaggy hair. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and definitely chewing tobacco.

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

Fuck yeah, Virginia.

AEG Owner Phil Anschutz Is Still Donating to Causes Promoting Anti-LGBTQ Beliefs AEG owner Philip Anschutz donated $1,020,000 to two organizations that made public statements against LGBTQ people -- Colorado Christian University and the Sky Ranch Christian camping organization.

The owner of Coachella is a right-wing nationalist and gives lots of money to anti-LGBT organizations.

Fun Fact: Morgan Stanley said we got about three months before oil reaches $200 a barrel. Are you prepared for that? Probably not. You need 3 months worth of rice, beans, and water (and something to cook with). Also buy a $25 set of wide band radios on Amazon. Two-way comms. Stay frosty.

Counterpoint:
A decent stockpile of food and ammo and porn have kept people alive in hard times and disasters.

That sounds so frustrating 🫠

Oh cool, didn’t realize Welpton was on here.

If you are obsessively refreshing the VA redistricting vote--as I am, for obvious practical reasons--bear in mind that most of the rural counties have reported, but there are big parts of Richmond and NoVa that are still out. So "No" has a big lead that can disappear very quickly.

The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Correct.

Every time.

What if I told you government could do things to meaningfully improve your life?

Oh you're a disingenuous mediocre white dude.

My mistake.

You go ahead and eat shit daily.

I thought it was shine box?

Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”

This is NUTS

A digital illustration of Godzilla silhouetted against a red and orange fire-colored background with his back spines all glowing blue as he blasts nuclear fire at whomever you would most like to have nuclear fire blasted at. Go ahead and make a wish. Jagged lettering on Godzilla’s back and shoulder, also glowing blue, reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’

Here’s mine 😵‍💫

Got to say "one enema away from solving world hunger" on cable news' most watched show last night. InfoWars is already paying off.

Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

Thank God, drove my Toyota in the rain once and it dissolved.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

In the 1990s, the working class of this country was told that unfettered free trade would create millions of new jobs and raise wages.

As many of us understood then, that claim was a lie.

Now they’re being sold the same false promises about AI.
