Personally I think Michael B. Jordan should have been nominated for both best actor and best supporting actor and/or nominated twice for best actor. The latter might've split the vote but I do feel that we're glossing over the dual roles situation a bit

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This kid wants to get out of detention in time for his school spelling bee. What the fuck are we doing.

To avoid all the confusion of the daylight savings changeover, we should simply arrange it so the sun sets at 9pm every day and work backward from that to what time the rest of the day is

I keep thinking about how many stories there will be about the U.S. camps and how there didn’t have to be any stories at all

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

I have to watch the State of the Union because I sinned in a past life and am
being punished by a vengeful God.

Glad this is getting covered, but also… Completely surreal to read the NYT report on this as recently disclosed info, and just an allegation. This happened to every observer I know! It happened to me twice! I have it on video both times! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

The nice commercial about helping kids find their lost pets was the scariest thing I've seen in my life

The end of DOE’s grid work in Puerto Rico The Trump administration has canceled all eight of the remaining awards devoted to distributed energy on the island.

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

Like, the utility pole act and the lights in the stadium flickering were not just random. The power goes out in PR all the time! Because we ran their utilities into the ground! That’s political!

Senator Lucas basically ethered Youngkin’s signature issues on education and his personal passion project of opening up a sports stadium in NOVA.

She was never lying about wanting a 10-1 map lol

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

if I were a Democratic strategist, columnist, or politician, I would simply not be outflanked by Bill Kristol and this guy

this is it. this is the level. this is the standard for democratic officials. anything less is intolerable.

Liam’s mom dressed him in all those layers to keep her little boy warm and safe in this frigid weather, packed his book-bag w/ everything he’d need for a good day at school, and then our govt stole him out of their driveway. Used her little boy as bait. These people are monsters.

if it’s too difficult for any single person we’ve elected to congress to say, β€œnot one dime for the child stealers”…

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

This is heartbreaking, and also upsetting to see it amplified instantaneously when video shows her wife crying and talking about their kid at school. We have no idea what kind of family dynamics are at play and a same-sex partner is vulnerable to being muscled out of the story, so we should use care

Trump's conducting illegal kill campaigns and military raids and 7 of the 47 Senators in opposition just voted to confirm a Trump nominee to the Pentagon. We can dream of what it will take to change the party eagerly cheering the killing, but a good first step would be opposition from the opposition

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among β€œserious” people.

again, every Democrat has not in fact done this by any stretch of the imagination, and there have been multiple statements - here's a few - www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/art... - that condemn this unequivocally but sure, if you just lie about it you can feel fine saying both sides are the same.

"DATA CENTER WATER USE DOESN'T MATTER" is one of the silliest arguments I see floating around. unless you think re-writing 200 yr old water law (OG political third rail in the US) is a simple matter, the marginal consumption of new water is literally make or break for much of life in the western US

This began as a bit (and I'm not really a resolutions person), but my 2026 resolution is to bring more love and light into the year. Sorry that it's a phrase that is used insincerely 99% of the time but that's too bad because I love it.
