I am kind of astonished at how muted the reaction has been so far in a country were people try to get, like, gas stations declared as historic landmarks. Can we at least get Mike Johnson on camera claiming he hasn’t seen these pictures? Or doesn’t know where or what the White House is?

Nothing’s funny anymore, but “23% of Americans yearn for the White House East Wing to be demolished” is sort of funny.

As a matter of current law, could the president just…knock down the entire White House? Just raze the whole thing to the ground?

'some kind of Celtic knot with a dog on it, because that's far more in line with my opinions' ... ... OH COME ON

("admits using 'indefensible' antigay slurs in unearthed Reddit posts") (funny/sad thread about how many times his tat has featured in movies about Nazis)

seeing some incredible screencap takes about platner and i'm starting to think that x users are frogs in boiling nazi water. really does something to your brain.

If I ever post something like “you hysterical libs are only pretending to disapprove of the fist-sized Nazi tattoo on the senate candidate’s chest because he’s an economic populist,” I hope my friends and family will call me up and tell me to log off.

I'm a "looper" for the amazon megacorporation and any time a labor leader arises to lead the immiserated masses I go back in time and give them an insane tattoo to neutralize them

Platner should've fixed it by adding Calvin peeing on the existing tattoo

The Democratic Party has very little to say for itself at the moment *except* for the fact that it’s the one national party that’s not chock full of people with Nazi group chats, secret Nazi social media accounts, Nazi friends, or Nazi tattoos.

FWIW















ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

(The (hopeful) suggestion is the wrong billing codes were entered) (We'll be hearing for years about these weapons going unaccounted for)







Guess we'll find out how much of this was a small number of people

Nice to get a break from editing stories about ~digital technology~ every once in a while to do stories about, for example, a train line in Florida that cannot stop killing people (“track snacks”). @kait.bsky.social did an amazing job with this feature on the Brightline and creaky US infrastructure:

("Last year, the train hit and killed 41 people—none of whom, as best as authorities could determine, was attempting to harm themselves", but later the article says, "Brightline's director of media relations, wrote to me in an email. 'All have been the result of illegal, deliberate and oftentimes reckless behavior by people putting themselves in harm’s way.'") (And this rejoinder to the suggestion that Floridians are uniquely foolish: "But if the people of Florida were uniquely stupid in a way that made them more susceptible to being hit by trains, you would expect them to be hit uncommonly often by all trains.")

Does this mean they're for sale again?







In Austin, I sat with #USMNT legend Landon Donovan to talk about his openness with a big vulnerability and the unexpected reward of sharing his hair journey with the public. “We’re just people struggling, trying to figure it out and doing the best we can,” he said. www.nytimes.com/athletic/672...

(The article is about him feeling tremendous depression about his hair loss, trying one thing after another that failed, and (at least for now) finding happiness with a hairpiece)







((Unpleasant) trailer for their upcoming movie, but knowing what the movie is about makes the real life clip funnier)

@wanderingdonut wtf is this bird?!? we had been on our South Island roadtrip for a week or so at this point, already crossing paths with the cheeky keas, lots of sandflies and even a few seals but as we set up our site at 📍Glentanner Park Centre we had the strangest welcoming committee (side note: this is by far the best campground for Aoraki / Mount Cook adventures) anyway, this damn bird would not leave us alone even checking out the inside of our RV but taking a particular interest in Jedd ... i'd never seen anything like it! despite being kinda terrifying in the moment it's been one of my favourites to look back on and laugh at how ridiculous the whole thing is. Mostly how ridiculous the bird itself is because, well, just look at it! - Love, Dana your unofficial unique travel expert #davidattenborough #goldenpheasant #aotearoa #birdsoftiktok #nzroadtrip ♬ original sound - David Attenborough
