For many years I wondered, "how bad will Republicans have to get before the media/political establishment in the US gets over its endless obsession with scolding & tone policing the left?" I think at this point we have to acknowledge that the answer is: never. Literally never.

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

I’ve been excited for GTA VI for years but now I’m hearing that you play a criminal in the game? And it’s *mandatory* that you commit crimes to progress?? Gross. I’m out.

Meanwhile real consoles are left to suffer

did bluesky hear about Miss Teen Indiana’s Garfield costume

Did I miss the big open letter signed by a hundred academics opposing this?

A civilian geography professor was fired from West Point for pushing back after department officials barred faculty from teaching that humans contribute to climate change.

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. 1/

babe are you okay? you've barely drank from your four-font "YAY! SAME Penis FOREVER" mug

Anna Paquin is a real one

Putin's method isn't to get you to believe a lie - it's to keep you from believing that *anything* is true. That's life under AI - a world of uncertainty, an epistemological void full of plausible phantasms, some of which are actually real. 8/

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

It's me, a Telegraph columnist, taking a break screaming bloody murder about fairness in the women's sports I wouldn't be caught dead watching to wax lyrical about academic integrity in sociology, a field I consider to be fake, at institutions I consider to be communist indoctrination centers.

amazing article

'If you miss the train I'm on Then you'll know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow 100 miles' A whistle audible 100 miles away would be like an acoustic weapon. Passengers would drop stunned, bleeding from the ears. Glass would shatter. Ludicrous claim that mars an otherwise charming song.

yeah man "woke 1" sucked ass. I "woke 1" morning from uneasy dreams to find myself transformed into a giant insect

If you missed the solar eclipse, this is what it looked like:

Delta Airlines charging me for my bag? That's obnoxious. Delta Airlines charging me to book a seat? That's obnoxious. But Delta Airlines working with ICE to ship people to concentration camps is COLLABORATION. Boycot #delta

Well said, Doctor! 🙇‍♂️

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

I think what we're seeing around the internet right now, vis a vis AOC & her ex-boyfriend & her eggs, is just a tiny, tiny, tiny sliver of the absolute madness that will break out if she runs for president. No matter how f'ing weird you think people will be about it, they will be much, much weirder.

Someone from @mathworks.bsky.social once contacted me after I ranted about Matlab, and I strongly feel that if you don't want me to get mad about Matlab, perhaps don't throw errors like "you don't have a license for the version of Matlab you're not using" at me.

Heat can be dangerous, but health experts say there are ways to manage the threat. https://to.pbs.org/4v9dQBU

@unormal.bsky.social started porting Qud to Doom this afternoon...got Joppa up and running

The entire support service for US Customs and Immigration has been replaced with a DOGE chatbot that repeatedly emails and texts links to the form, no matter what question you ask, and no matter whether you call, email or use the website's chat interface: pluralistic.net/2026/02/06/d... 26/
