A poster with a colorful stack of books on the left and this text on the right: “Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

A meme which has a photo still from good omens and a screen cap of a Tumblr post. The text reads: “Longing, how soft a word for such a ravenous feeling. How we hunger in silence. Pavana पवन" the image is of Aziraphale and Crowley sitting on the bench in front of the church, looking hesitant

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Wales: embarrassed raptor* gets trapped on sun deck, has to accept assistance from mere mammal to get back in the air

*possibly a red kite?

even if they do actually arrest anyone (I have doubts) chances they actually make it to trial are… slim, I would say

as their hamhanded attempts to go after comey and james show, these people live at the nexus of terrifying and incompetent

Very interesting discussion of how Tisza managed to pull of a win under a rigged system

It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.

If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it.

Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.

In a reasonable world, no company with a name as cartoonishly evil as Palantir could possibly get any contracts.

let's make a cultural value judgment: palantir are a bunch of execrable fascist shitheads and their ideas go against the basis of every civilized country on earth, from which they should be extirpated like the intellectual cancer they are

what the iran situation requires is serious people capable of complex and delicate negotiations to extricate ourselves from an omnishambles entirely of our own making

unfortunately we have exactly zero (0) of them currently serving in this administration

Oysters and carbon capture: embarrassing that this combination comes as a surprise. If major media outlets all headlined one initiative like this each week we'd be a much better informed (and better) public.

not really of course, cause intelligence doesn't work like that, cause eugenics is a racist lie, as are the broligarchs pushing that lie. (who also aren't as smart as they think they are).

'She also documented how few women were in federally sponsored clinical trials for AIDS drugs...
That was significant, she told The San Francisco Chronicle, because “the clinical trials are the only way you can get treatment.”' Long helped save so many lives.

this is adorable and it’s extra funny because of the way mamdani correctly leaned into branding himself as “zohran” (it’s a really cool name!)

but now that he’s the mayor that’s his name instead apparently

mRNA technology may be THE most underrated and unfairly scrutinized (fuck you COVID antivax crew) medical breakthrough in my lifetime.

Like... The things this is already showing it can do in the last 5-7 years is incredible.

this reminds me, i don't think SCOTUS should be allowed to choose their own clerks. standardize the hiring schedule, put the applications in a pool, blind reads (perhaps by a panel of former clerks) and random assignments.

Revisiting Scott DesJarlais' abortion scandals and reelections: Notorious Nashville Scott DesJarlais advocated for abortion restrictions, but court documents show he privately coerced his wife and mistresses to terminate pregnancies.

Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN), who is staunchly pro-life as a legislator, pressured his mistress into having an abortion, but it's OK because he also pressured his ex-wife into having two abortions.

Let's all use this occasion to take a look at the many ways Tennessee Republicans have shown how much they value and respect the Traditional Nuclear Family™

The way Jesus is putting his hands together? This kid has been learning mannerisms from Aziraphale.

Just watched the trailer again and shot up like I'd been struck by lightning.

What do we think is going to be the Wing Moment in the finale? There's a formula, we open with a flashback, Aziraphale puts his wing over Crowley and vice versa. What is going to be the Wing Moment this time? #GoodOmens3

Stephen Miller almost says that Trump is seeking a "final solution" in Iran but then catches himself

also if you are visiting DC, go do this! you can call your reps for your capital tour even-- but go see how they actually live

As a recipient of federal grants from #NIH (for now! 😭) that funds research in my lab, I'd like to sincerely thank American taxpayers on #TaxDay for investing in scientific research that lays the foundation for medical and technological innovation in this country and keeps us ALL safe and healthy
