Watching every national NBA reporter and pundit on Bluesky relentlessly dragging Tom Dundon is maybe the most heartwarming thing I've experienced On Here so far.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Whistleblower says Trump officials thought USAID did 'just abortions,' asked for 'Barney-style' slides before gutting agency, per new book Read an exclusive excerpt from Nicholas Enrich's "Into the Wood Chipper"

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.

'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”.

This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

Iran president: 'His Holiness Pope Louis XIV, I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.'

This poster hung in the entrance to my school. In 1981.

Stocks soar on 2-week postponement of Armageddon.

I picked the absolute dumbest year to be sober, how can any of us be expected to raw dog these horrors.

Meanwhile bike fuel prices have not changed at Costco.

I do think we are staring down the barrel of having to pay a handful of companies until the end of time just to exist in society while they harvest everything about our lives for profit and absolute control... and if we can't stop it now, it'll never be stopped.

Installing ICE at airports is a grade a level stupid idea but it also advances the larger issue, which is a private, unaccountable army funded by and ideologically loyal to a dictator that spreads militaristic oppression to all forms of public life.

No Phoenix officers will be disciplined after protesters falsely charged as gang members Phoenix police will not discipline any officers for their roles in a massive city scandal where officials invented a fake gang and then falsely charged protesters as members back in 2020.

user abbiistabbii: The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing. Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour. It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words!

That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go

It promotes a growth mindset!!

i’ve always said the generally hellish experience of going through TSA would be improved by bringing in other federal agents with no understanding of airports who love to shoot people

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

"you will have to play ze slop games eventually it is inevitable that all games will be ze slop"

Ok but considering general socioeconomic decay and my rate of video game consumption (~1.5 hrs/day) I am statistically likely to be dead before I run out of currently existing non-slop video games.

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,
