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

umm actually, neutrality means you're choosing the side of the milk hotel
I violently agree with this dek:
“The idea that Democrats are weirdly and extremely obsessed with "identity politics" and pronouns is a right wing propaganda fiction not supported by polling data, and Democratic party leaders should not be perpetuating it.”
When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project
there is an extremely long list of people who need to be held accountable in the next administration but sending the DOGE boys to big boy jail needs to be near the top of the list

The Navajo Nation commission's report detailed harsh discipline, language barriers, discriminatory hiring practices and more.
“It’s our kids, our students, who are suffering the consequences of entrenched racism,” the commission chair said.

"Trans women aren't women because the word 'trans' is in front of it. If the word has to be modified, you're not a woman."
Okay, I guess white women aren't women then, I don't make the rules. If you have to put "white" in front of "women," you're not real women.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.
1. Are you currently using an AI tool for work-related tasks or projects? * Yes * No, but I would like to (PLEASE SKIP TO QUESTION 7)
My employer asks me to complete a survey on AI usage for which this is the first question (required):
the thing is that
this is so funny
and they're all walking around miserably in shoes that don't fit and they deserve it
but also, it's not funny
because this is the same crumbling brain that is issuing orders to kill people about a hundred different ways every day
lawyer randos are just walking into federal court and racking up Ws against the federal government lol gj everyone
We didn't ruin the economy.
We didn't get you laid off.
We didn't replace you with AI.
We didn't raise gas prices.
We didn't foreclose your home.
We didn't cause your divorce.
We didn't get your kid snatched by ICE.
We aren't in the Epstein files.
Leave us the fuck alone.
Yes! John Brown and Jayhawks stole from slave owners.
If you thought it was OK to steal Black people from Africa and keep them as slaves? Then they thought it was OK to steal them from you and set them free, and to steal all your other stuff and keep it.
If you didn't like it? They took you out.
This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.

This is delightful which of course it is because it’s Tim Curry dammit but it contains two earth shattering revelations for the Curryverse and they are
1) he was considered for Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park
2) he read the screenplay for Silence of the Lambs and wanted to be cast as Hannibal Lector
starling (seth rogen): if you could take this survey that would be so awesome. i could get out of your hair before this guy's done jacking off.
hannibal lecter (danny mcbride): motherfucker that's miggs. me and him are boys, so you better watch yourself. i'm behind this glass cause i ate some dudes
It's not enough to prevent hormonal transition, they want to enforce gender stereotypes now, claiming they are divinely ordained despite the fact that the bulk of them come from an idealized version of the 1950s and are ridiculously ahistorical even within the limited western context.
Saw a Waymo driving on the street in Seattle today and felt myself instantly turn into Sarah Conner
honestly, I think it's charming and cute
except for the whole car safety thing
BUT IN A VACUUM? Adorable
Disney’ Robin Hood live action remake not moving forward says director. (I’m assuming this is because they couldn’t figure out how to make the fox hot enough.)
Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly this would have sucked.
Do not mess with perfection!
There needs to be like 5 "too nice to work" holidays controlled by each state. Like a snow day, you don't get any advance notice. The stations and alerts just put out the message that the next day is too nice to work and everyone is off.
People are already being murdered in Trump’s concentration camps.
And it’s going to get worse. Much worse. So much worse, we can hardly imagine.
how long will we let this continue?
Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.
Pope Leo XIV’s Vatican newspaper is the only publication in the Western world to run the photograph of 150 Iranian girls' graves — killed in President Trump's military strikes — on its front page.
