Cat experts: Cats don't want to eat or drink out of bowls that are too narrow, because it bothers their whiskers.

Polymarket has created a market that would monetize a nuclear attack amid increasing concerns that bets are happening among government insiders who can make military decisions.

What stage of the apocalypse is this?

Whether it's Donald Trump taking bribes from terror-sponsoring foreign governments, Donald Trump plotting to rig the 2026 election, or Donald Trump posting a video of the Obamas as apes, both parties must do better.

We Stand with Our Community A few months ago, my coworker, Alex, moved from St. Louis to Minneapolis. This week I spent some time with him in person for the first time since the move, and we had a long chat about the horrifyi…

Are we at β€œNo one could have known this would happen” yet? I’m willing to pretend that is true in exchange for action on the part of those with the authority to change things.

he knows that we know he's lying. he's telling us we're all terrorists to him. he's telling us that to dissent is now a capital crime. he's telling us they'll shoot us, too, and they'll say we deserved it.

It really sucks to be living at a time when this quote is relevant.

my gut tells me american politics are about to shift radically within the next few days, as this rubicon crossing event occurs with both sides heading toward snowstorm-induced isolation and online algorithms

How much of the dangerous and ridiculous situation regarding Greenland is driven by Trump’s misunderstanding of the Mercator projection?

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.

I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

i’ve used em-dashes frequently in my writing for decades, so I find it irritating that they are now seen as a marker of AI generated textβ€”I feel like my punctuation is being taken from me. I can only hope that ChatGPT keeps its grubby AI fingers off my semicolons.

My wife Erin has COVID. Paxlovid helped, but she is now in a rebound. Yesterday she lost her sense of smell. It was like a switch: she went from smelling to zero smell, then, 15 minutes later, normal, then this morning, β€œflickering”, and now muted. Is this consistent with how others experience this?

Be kind. These are volunteer admins applying detailed guidelines, one of which is, β€œThe title is whatever it says on the cover.” I looked at the cover, and it is ambiguous at best. Even if they correct it to what you prefer, anyone can submit a correction, and the next admin will look at the cover.

This kind of libelous incitement is basically unremarkable now for Republican elected officials. Even msm press treats it as normal.

Look, I really like the song Golden, from K-Pop Demon Hunters. I like it a whole lot. I don't know that I needed to hear it three times in one short trip to H-Mart, out of the five songs they played; the other two were, of course, other songs from K-Pop Demon Hunters.

Federal agents arrest firefighters working on WA wildfire Federal agents showed up northeast of Lake Cushman to check identification of crew members fighting Washington's largest active wildfire.

Arresting firefighters putting their lives on the line to protect our communities doesn't make us safer. This evil stunt is putting families in harm's way just so Donald Trump can score a Fox News hit.
