I disagree with the author on a lot, so you know I’m serious if I’m sharing it: Congress should not be re-allowing federal funds to go mink farming. Pick your reason: animal cruelty, biosecurity, wasteful spending. It’s bizarre this is in the Farm Bill www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/bird...

An outbreak of H5N1 on a Utah mink farm puts the public at risk, and a bill in Congress could expand fur farming

The Trump Administration has stressed that she is only in the job on an interim basis, but I feel like Other Mommy From The Film "Other Mommy" has all the tools to become a very good White House Press Secretary.

He was very clearly considering getting out of his car to scream at me after he swerved off the road to yell at me, and I think if I had stopped walking even for a second he would have, cool!

Ultimately there’s fault shared: he had a green light and I saw him coming and stepped into the tiny intersection because I assumed he knew how to use his brakes, and again, there’s not even a crosswalk. So whatever. But what I enjoyed is I said “just don’t kill pedestrians” and he said “no”

A man with road rage who was speeding through Yale’s campus just decided to pull over and yell at me after almost hitting me, yelling “you’re wrong” and “I’m not gonna take this” and saying I was the problem for being on my phone (I wasn’t, I saw him coming, there’s just no crosswalk there)

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. wapo.st/4yt6dHY

the Big Wet Guy has driven a lot of innovation in the phrases sector over the last decade, and there is perhaps no craftsman in this area who I admire more than you, and EVEN by that standard, the concise horror of “fragrant shadow” has really cast a spell on me tonight

you don't need to misrepresent what rfk says to make him look like an absolute freak. you can just say stuff like "i guess someone invented a new sunscreen and he posted it with the caption MAHA WIN from his government account" and it does the job

It is simultaneously important that everyone else know the "MOAB" is less explosive than even the smallest nuclear warheads and also that the President remains convinced he has dropped the biggest bomb anyone has ever dropped.

my most black-pill opinion is that most of what's objectionable about political media in the US is a consequence of the audience's revealed preferences.

Colin Carlson @colincarlson.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
but like actually what
Individual motivation varies. Young women cite pleasure, curiosity, pleasing male partners, and coercion as factors.56 Up to 25% of women with experience of anal sex report they have been pressured into it at least once.7 Hit television shows such as Sex and the City and Fleabag may unwittingly add to the pressure, as they seem to normalise anal sex in heterosexual relationships or make it appear racy and daring.

This is just absolutely perplexing as a cultural artifact to me. Taking the lightest possible touch on white supremacy in MAGA, and legitimizing MAHA, so that you can eviscerate the sexually violent men it's selected as figureheads, to... what, get the MAHA moms reading the BMJ to splinter?
