To recap: three GOP-led states that wanted the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade in order to "send abortion back to the states" are now asking the Court to strike down abortion protections in blue states

also, the idea that electoral politics is a game of always following and never leading is just nonsense.

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

I can't narrow it down to just one, so here are a few favs that I think are deeply underrated:
Kidnapped Teen Freed, Though Freedom Is Its Own Kind Of Prison, Is It Not?

BEDFORD, IN—The Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Wednesday that Jessica Paulsen, a 15-year-old who went missing last month, has been freed from the home of two men accused of kidnapping her, although isn’t freedom itself, as both a figurative concept and a state of being, merely another kind of prison, one that entraps us all?Wendy's To Phase Out Unpopular Hamburger Sandwich

DUBLIN, OH—Representatives for the restaurant chain Wendy’s announced Tuesday that due to the item’s continually dismal performance, the company would be discontinuing the widely disliked hamburger sandwich.Arby's Now Charging $2.99 To Let Customers Go Behind Counter, Grab Handfuls Of Roast Beef

ATLANTA—During a press event at Arby’s headquarters last week, the company officially launched its new $2.99 Grab-N-Go Meal Deal, which allows patrons to go behind the counter at any franchise location and grab as much roast beef as they can with their bare hands.

“We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new dining option that lets customers step right into our kitchen and dig hands-first into our famous slow-roasted beef,” spokesman Gavin Milne said while standing in front of a cardboard cutout that depicted Oven Mitt—the Arby’s mascot—cupping a steaming mound of beef slices. “As soon as we ring up your transaction, you have 15 seconds to grab all the meat you can carry, and however much you manage to bring back across the counter is yours to eat—all for under $3! Who could resist?”17-Year Cicadas Horrified To Learn About 9/11

May 7, 2013
NEW YORK—Following their synchronized emergence this week after gestating underground since 1996, a colossal swarm of 17-year cicadas were horrified today to learn about the events of September 11, 2001. “Holy shit, are you serious?” said one member of the East Coast brood of winged insects, expressing its continued shock and horror about the coordinated terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of 3,000 people. “They just flew the planes right into the fucking buildings? Man, oh, man. People must have just been completely freaking out. Christ, I know I would have been.” At press time, the 17-year cicadas were beginning to express serious doubts about how two structures supported by reinforced concrete and steel beams could just collapse like that.

Cosmically, there is something very darkly funny about spending an entire decade of American politics obsessed with repudiating the mistakes of the Iraq War, and then immediately doing it again at the first opportunity, but with even less justification, planning, strategy, or foresight.

Today is a great reminder that we can never be too ready.
A chart outlining the RIP BOZO Readiness Condition (RIPCON), which is a riff off of DEFCON. There are 5 levels, with 5 being lowest and 1 being the highest. The chart details descriptions of these levels, examples and actions to take in the event something occurs.

I love how the worst government on Earth, along with its similarly depraved Gulf neighbors, has spent the last 20 years egging on war on Iran from behind the US & Israel's apron, and realized like a month ago they'd be taking the brunt. Zero sympathy

The reactionary mind is incredibly neurotic about both being stolen from and being laughed at and that's part of why they're so consumed with anxieties about welfare cheats, fake refugees, fake disabled kids, etc. It's like an asexual version of their cucking anxiety.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.
