All of human history—nay, all of the many billions of years it has taken the universe to go from the Big Bang to right now—has led us to this moment.

The fever dream of Dante as he wrote his Inferno could not conjure up hellfire as demented as this.

All right folks, it’s my first #Caturday. Say hello to the big floof himself, Mikey.

Technically he’s my kids’ cat, but he has been rehomed with me rather than living with their mom, and so now I get to enjoy the presence of his goofy company! 😊

> Democratic socialists believe that capitalism is a “system designed by the owning class to exploit the rest of us for their own profit” and must be replaced by democratic socialism, according to the organization’s website.

Did you know? The Oregon Department of Justice has a Gender-Affirming Care Toolkit available on our website.

Gender-affirming care is protected in Oregon, and everyone in Oregon – regardless of gender identity – deserves to live with dignity and respect.

“I claim this planet in the name of Mars! Mmm, isn't that lovely?”

What is going on with our Looney Tunes government?! 🤪
What the hell: The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” and triggered a standoff with armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map. 🧵 1/

Indeed. This isn't merely another "there goes Trump being kooky again" matter! There is no conceivable world in which the sitting President of the United States can be allowed to call for executions of political adversaries. This is NOT just another Tuesday, or Thursday as the case may be.
Not many young people know this but it is generally pretty unusual for the president to outright call for the mass executions of elected members of the opposition party

Even an ordinarily sane person holding all this gunk in their head constantly would become insane. People aren't meant to be obsessed with constant vitriol. We, the people, just want our lives back. Spend time with family, enjoy friendly activities, get some meaningful work done. Relax with a book.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.

A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.

We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

I need a link to a clever video essayist who can explain why movie CGI seems to be getting worse not better. I don't necessarily have a problem with some CGI in movies where it makes sense (and in sci-fi, obviously)…but when it looks bad, it looks BAD.

Why did it seem to peak like ~15 years ago?!

Hey, all. Two weeks ago, I got the unfortunate news that my role was being terminated as part of a workforce reduction. I wrote about what I'm looking for in my next role, and I'd appreciate a signal boost.

Hey, all you urbanist nerds out there, you'll get a real kick out of this old Looney Tunes cartoon called There Auto Be a Law!

Even in the 50s they found ways to skewer car culture 😂
