A public health catastrophe. Not “immanent,” not “potential.” This is the catastrophe.

man the thing is. if you're lucky enough to get old, when you're dying, you know there's gonna be a few people who don't mind it. everybody has haters. it's what it is. but our special boy at 1600 pennsylvania gets to live knowing that millions of people were excited to hear that maybe he died lol

and people on this app say they don't understand sports while they all try to will a thing into existence like Jets fans every offseason

We’ll know it happened when his weave floats out the door and descends straight into hell

If he isn’t dead I guess he at least gets to see the entire Internet going apeshit hoping he is

wake up babe a new slur just dropped

Worth remembering that any time I say "It's happening!" I'm talking about Paramount making James T. Kirk canonically bisexual

“As Al Qaeda seeks to empty out the World Trade Center towers…”

Now die, die, die, die, die.

Fuck these people, truly.

With mirth in funeral

You can instantly tell which country every procedural is from based on how they solve the crime: US: Bring in Incredibly Hot Forensics Team UK: Fetch the CCTV India: Break the locked door

I don’t care what Bill Maher thinks about literally anything, whether I agree with it or not, because it has been decades since he did anything except get attention for saying uninteresting things. People go after Kardashians and so on for “being famous for being famous.” Maher is the same.

Listen I’m sure he just fell asleep in a sunbeam somewhere dreaming of inhuman deportation techniques, or accidentally glued himself to one of his golden toilets with his own orange clown makeup, but we can all have a little happy hope in our hearts it ends up being something else, can’t we?

I was online AS the stories broke for both Four Seasons Total Landscaping Day and Ted Cruz Liked a MILF Porn Tweet Day and I would rank tonight on that level even though nothing happened but vibes and maybe a pizza traffic spike

okay this is it this is the one that finally broke me

Remembering Fred Hampton born Aug. 30, 1948, assassinated Dec. 4, 1969 by Chicago police and the FBI

trying not to think about how just one of those $8k Dem “influencer” payments could have paid my half of the rent for 10 months, hahaaa

How now? Where’s the King?

What’s happening is a lot of people who thought a little fascism just meant clearing out some undesirables and making the trains run on time are realizing that actually yes they too will be effected and it’s making them slightly nervous.

I'm hoping we all get the best news ever today!!! 🎉☠️🎉🪦🎊🥳⚰️🎈🎁⽍🍻🥂⚱️🪅🍾⚰️🍾💀

Michelle won't be at the funeral. That's all I have to say.

“Don’t speak ill of the dead” should only apply to petty shit that would just grieve the family. Not to abusers and rapists and Trump was that at SCALE.

Here is a nice mushroom

me reading y'alls tweets about the question of the day

just need to know if I have to send a small muppet bunny to the butcher shop for a goose or not

this might be my fav one yet because usually there's only one but this time we got a double scoop of the most tedious person around

dc public safety ppl send out a silver alert I dare you

Listen folks if it is true the barbecues are going to be lit this weekend

If it’s true this weekend is going to be three days of jubilant debauchery unlike anything this country has ever seen

Despite the academic capitulations, media collapse, and Trump's attacks on history and race, it's now more important than ever to teach on all of these issues. So I will. I have set up an independent course to teach Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102 in October. Sign up here!

We should be ready for a cascading # of well-known politicians dying in the coming years because these people are incredibly old.

Cool to see this federal agency schedule an important workshop for early career people to overlap perfectly with Rosh Hashanah This, actually, is the antisemitism problem, not people who oppose genocide

a society that wants to keep functioning needs to discourage balanced lying, especially by authorities

run to the light, baby

Remember things like this when supposedly serious people suggest the best way to organize society is around someone like this making decisions for you.

now I will say my sister did call me in a panic to do a wellness check because I napped through January 6 and she was like “there’s a coup and you haven’t tweeted I thought you died”

it's like that guy at the bar who's there every night trying his one line on the ladies and still getting nowhere

if it's true things are about to get wild because no way they ever admit it happened

Gotta enjoy the vibe like that time he got COVID and was obviously on a respirator He may not be dead but hope lives

If you’re a feminist you can spend your whole life grappling with the inadequacy of narrative to convey reality or summon enough political will to enact change. But if you’re a fascist you can just use narrative as a hammer to claim ownership of reality and beat material conditions into conformity.

dad tried to chatgpt together a family photo from two where different people were holding the camera. I think it came out great

I CLEARLY SAID YEAR TWO.

My special posting gift is that I can write posts that, the second they break containment, attract the worst reply guys. Prior to breaking containment we have fun. Afterwards, no fun. For a fee I can write you posts that will attract the same guys

During this tough time-- We are going to have to unlearn-- A LOT. Including how we learn, how we teach, how we gather in community, etc etc. Yes, the old institutions are showing their weak points. Sure we want to burn them down. But what do we do with how they've conditioned us internally?

He's not going to resign Bernie, now what?

My god, he will select the head of John the Baptist

I’m sorry but people trying to collectively believe a death into being like Tinkerbelle is what “Death Note” should’ve been.

at least he tried it before passing judgment

Shout out to the physician who sent me an email to tell me I need to rewrite my column because while I was right, I was also wrong, and then signed it with his MD at the end, as if that made his comments about cosmology more legit

Thanks to Karen Hao's brilliant book Empire of AI, I learned that potable water is the only type of water that can be used to cool data centers. Saltwater or wastewaster isn't useable.

admire and model thyself after the whale! Do thou, too, remain warm among ice. Do thou, too, live in this world without being of it.

perhaps you were craving a Defenestration of Prague illustration, I can't be sure

future historians are going to have a tough job combing through the Posting Archives to figure out the politics of our era

Let’s start a rumor that the guy playing golf was a body double

that blood moon is tonight is WILD

I know you are all doing something... different than doomscrolling, but you should still try not to stay up too late

I’m remembering when he had COVID and he went through so much effort to seem ok and now they’re not even trying that

ftr everytime I've said "it" tonight I was referring to the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift engagement

welp. i just went to try to schedule a covid vaccine at the local duane reade and got this pop-up

I don't think they will actually hide it for very long if he dies. Vance will be eager to seize the wheel. What would be rougher for them is a messy in-between stage of him decompensating, clearly unable to function, but of course unwilling to yield power.

we can riff but this is what's real

Oh my God? Apparently then-39 year old Mayor of San Francisco Gavin Newsom was dating a 19 year old? abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=...

People are complaining about this but it’s true. You couldn’t make Life of Brian today. They already made it in 1979. If you tried you’d just get weird stares

We just got a mini fridge this week and it has occurred to me that we should really put a bottle of champagne in there to chill. Just in case

I'm thinking about how Trump insisted on going on that bizarre car ride when he was hospitalized with COVID.

Choosing to read this as Jake Tapper keeping his own death a secret so he can reveal the answer in a book

“With our might combined” type shit lol

Of course the number's long since been disconnected and/or reassigned, but I'm definitely going to phone Mother Dreyer when the blessèd day arrives and give her the good news.

I am not normally a conspiracy guy but that doesn’t look much like Trump at all. It looks like an aged David Lander, best known for playing “Squiggy” on Laverne and Shirley. Lander died in 2020.

if everyone on here changed their display pic overnight, how many of your regulars would you recognise

Ridiculous how much academic scholarship on Star Trek: Discovery reproduces the total falsehood that Michael Burnham starts the war

I finished this embroidery last night and it will also be available to purchase at our Craft Fair Fundraiser for Gaza next Sunday 9/7 from noon to 6 pm at Another World in BK.

local squirrel friend

Eugenics is a common feature of post-enlightenment scientific beliefs, among professionals No need to blame poor people from the past

(Remember when our president called other countries “shithole?”)

Whole planet gonna be Ewoks

My old landlord is so pissed at me because we are refusing to give her our security deposit- so she’s sending me pictures of “damage” and it’s probably against my better judgment as a lawyer but I couldn’t help myself

ok this is super exciting. The two Kurdish novels I’ve read — Every Fire You Tend and The Last Pomegranate Tree — were both terrific. Maximum support to Henar Press

If the big thing happens tonight, I hope a friend calls me to wake me up

The person running the fundraiser for Saleh is Italian but this is the translation of their campaign

This was also what an FBI agent told my partner after waking her up at 5 AM with 4 flashbangs thrown into the vacant apartment above hers, shattering all the windows. “You’ll have a great story to tell at parties”

This is very awkward, but someone is impersonating me using the email [email protected], contacting artists and asking them for money. Several artists have forwarded examples of the emails.

Saleh sent me this photo of some of his sweet kiddos ❤️

I sort of want it for Colbert

I need someone to tell me with great confidence whether it's real or not

god I can almost taste the vibes of that long-awaited day

He's definitely locking up the "New Yorkers with total amnesia" vote.

I'm so confused by this, like what is the point of name tags if ppl aren't supposed to be reading them

Anyone in the Edmonton area, please spread these links around -- Premee's beautiful cats are missing and any help or sharing is much much appreciated 💚💚

my British girlfriend woke up and texted me like “what the fuck is going on” 😂

I know these requests are endless but if you have a little something pick a family and help

ugh did we get proof of life is he mad it trended on Twitter at least

It’s important to ask *why* people thought a racist regime would be competent? What makes people look at figures like Trump, RFK Jr, Elon and the like and assume they’re going to do things well.

I leave the internet for two days and suddenly we’re talking about the kerplatz we’ve all been waiting for

One of the less discussed but more important reasons to be against fascism is that it’s fucking stupid and informed self-interest rules it out

It’s very wild to run a “charter schools tried to help but they just weren’t meant for higher education” story around Katrina’s anniversary. These are ghoulish people.
