The original post is probably peak “all context triaged away to maximize hate-clicks” social media content. And yet it’s so inconsequential I can only find it funny.

Cats are cool, though half the people i love would die of allergies if one lived here. I bet these two were making a funny.

So many horrors to go around, but the routine transfer of detainees to 5th circuit jurisdiction is something I feel like has not landed with most people yet, and it‘s one of the things I find most terrifying.

I’ll be psyched if my kid begs to watch “Raise the Red Lantern” when she’s older. At the moment we’re more likely heading towards a 5th viewing of “Troop Beverly Hills”.

I'm sure this is a standard metric in policy circles but it took me a minute to stop short-circuiting at "average median" and realize it is a meaningful metric when considering a murmuration of corporations.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

Star Trek is a very serious sci-fi show about exploring space and the human condition.

Also Star Trek: “Hey, remember when Lwaxana Troi’s telepathically shared menopause made everyone on DS9 snog each other?”

Fun fact: Rotta doesn’t have a mother because the Hutts are hermaphrodites who select their own genders at will and, importantly, love to fuck

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

Congressman Brandon Gill @RepBrandonGill How many Americans have to get Allahu Akbar’ed before we realize Islam is a problem?

The way sitting politicians can say this stuff about Muslims while facing zero consequences is an indication of just how entrenched Islamophobia still is in our institutions and culture.

“But what if we gave the One Ring better training?”

Right now in my freezer I have a bunch of dinosaur meat that’s been chopped up and reformed into the shape of ancient dinosaurs.

every time i mention freedom fries to my students when discussing the global war on terror era, they think i’m joking. and there will be the one older student nodding in agreement

The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace

“Accordingly, Netanyahu, the Sunni countries, and Trump’s American military advisers all talked him down from attacking.

They … caught by surprise that he was ready to attack so soon and did not think that either he or they were ready.”

Netanyahu momentarily in the role of the “dog who caught the car” is astonishing. Imagine pushing the case for bombing Iran for decades and then finding yourself having to talk the president of the US out of attacking.

I know I'm friends with and follow so many progressive and talented artists bc they're all depressed and haven't drawn shit in the past 4 months

“Tetris for Trauma” Viral Twitter Thread: A Master Class in Misleading Psych Research A TV writer claims that research shows that Tetris is “literally a trauma first aid kit.” Her tweets sound scientific, but the research behind it is unconvincing.

David Lynch saying ‘One day, the sadness will end. But I don’t think today’s the day.’

There are two types of Trump II appointees. Guys you haven't heard of because they're 23 year old groypers, and guys you vaguely remember from some scandal revealing poor moral character.
