Great time for the toilet to stop working. Really, fabulous timing

Right, he's the Pope. Being the Pope. He's a pretty great Pope so far, as far as I can ell, but if you are freaky he is gonna cause you some friction because of his Pope-ness. Maybe don't worry about it. Unless you are Catholic, of course, in which case I got nothing for you, sorry
look, polyamory is extremely not for me but I have a ton of friends who it works great for, so obviously I disagree with him here

but I always find it very funny when you get a bunch of outraged posts about the Pope being Catholic

even if he’s pretty cool for a Pope he is, you know, the Pope
In a new doctrinal note, Pope Leo and the Vatican sharply reject polygamy and growing Western polyamory, praising monogamy as an exclusive union between one man and one woman.

In my opinion, it is not worth engaging with MAHA's CDC. I do not see any utility in submitting comments for the ACIP docket. There is ongoing litigation aimed at undoing the damage Kennedy has done to ACIP, but that litigation will, in no way, turn on the commenting docket for future ACIP meetings.

jfc this is bleak. has eugenics always been this closely tied to the profit motive? i kind of think maybe, but not sure?
Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

"...A sweeping new online Wiki built on the ICE List project, promising, for the first time, a central, searchable record tying individual immigration agents to raids, vehicles, local police partners, and the legal machinery behind US immigration enforcement."
NEWS: ICE List Launches Wiki to Expose Enforcement Network

I beg you, if you know anyone who writes for the Atlantic please for the love of God shame them until they stop
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Can anyone help me with a question re: indigenous cosmology among Algonquin speaking peoples of the Northeastern Dawnlands? I'm wondering if kinship relations - which extended beyond one's immediate family to include other people, animals, the spirit world, etc., also included one's enemies? Thanks

Literally EVERY parent should ban Roblox
Every parent whose career has to do with online safety also bans Roblox.
Every game designer parent I know bans Roblox for their kids

This whole thread is a great read.

“…AI provides coherence and validation, stabilizing the narrative…” is a hell of a phrase, which I think can be applied both as risk statement and value prop.
The content is still obviously delusional to anyone reading it. It’s just organised crazy. But the real danger is the internal effect on the user. The AI provides coherence and validation, stabilising the narrative they’re caught in.

I closed social media for like three hours and the Pope threw a rave, MTG resigned, and Trump endorsed Mamdani before Chuck Schumer did? Now accepting bribes to close social media for all of next week
November 22, 2025 at 2:54 AM
maybe Mamdani can get Stephen Millier fired
November 22, 2025 at 2:01 AM
I hope Mamdani and Trump become real friends. I mean that.

Trump just wants to be loved. The only way he really knows how to do that is through fear. But you can see that he knows other ways are possible. You can see it in how he talked about FDR

Mamdani could show him.

I always recommend this thing by Todd Snider that’s all the thoughts he has about how it might go if he met Bob Dylan and all his secondhand stories about other people who met Bob Dylan

You might want to consider reading this and posting it in people's replies when they say stuff about Bondi is going to redact everything, or whatever

Also.. it is okay to celebrate victories! Really! And this is a huge ass one
Very important for people to read this portion of the Epstein Files Transparency Act so you understand 1) why Mike Johnson was so upset today, and 2) what is NOT permitted to be redacted by the DOJ.

Todd Snider, RIP

I cant remember if this is the show he played tripping balls, but here’s an acoustic set he did a couple of years ago.
