Killed the goose that laid the golden egg so I could isolate the rare protein that made it lay golden eggs and now so many geese lay so many golden eggs that we just call them eggs, I have made the world choke on what it once considered magical. I also got to eat the goose

Glad about the result, but I don’t think it speaks well of us as a country that after two years of human rights violations, war crimes, naked gangster corruption, and contempt for the Constitution, he’s finally unpopular because gas got expensive.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

"doesn't understand the appeal of patina" feels like neat summation of American aesthetics

A BBC story headline reads: "Worth $5M? Visitors react to renovated Washington horse statues." There are two photos. One from 2013 that shows the horse statues in their older, patina state. And one from 2026 that shows them covered in 23.75-karat gold leaf.

Really captures Massachusetts politics

“Inside ICE’s only contract with a blue state”

“In fact, Massachusetts is the only state that voted against Donald Trump in 2024, and where the governor is a Democrat, where a state agency is contracting with the 287(g) program. It’s also the only state where Democrats fully control the state government that has such an agreement.”

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

trump getting involved with world cup stuff is why i initially had the ick about paying attention to the whole thing. i ended up a bit swept up in it anyway and it's been fun to have a unifying event in the states, but then we get smacked in the face with a reminder that he ruins everything.

The president’s allies responded to an election loss by storming the Capitol and trying to overturn election results. And yet it’s liberals who are everywhere called on to work to show they can be trusted to accept results, & to accept to change the rules of elections accordingly.

Cats share a fascinating bond with humanity because when you see a cat walking around outside you and the cat share an equally intense but opposite reaction where the cat is like “ah shit I don’t want to talk to this guy” and you get to be like “cat my old friend! Come here buddy!”

Comic panel of Donald Duck and a wide-eyed young Mickey Mouse. Donald's speech bubble: "Democrats should do a huge middle class tax cut to address affordability." Mickey's speech bubble: "Fool that you are, for you treat taxation as a burden rather than the means by which our burdens are eased. Behold a civilization rich in private wealth yet starved of public provision, where every man owns what his grandfathers could not imagine and yet trembles at the thought of how he will weather an illness or loss of livelihood. Will you fight for an affirmative vision of broad contribution and universal benefit? Or will you perish like a dog?"
