the eternally burdened ghost of pfc dennis silveri, cursed to wander the earth until 1 person mourns him, but people always stop at the name just above his for some reason
In Ewa Beach on Oahu, there is a plaque dedicated to WWII dead in the Pacific, and this is a real name on it. I took this photo myself.
Thanks for your service, Private Penis.

police chiefs, veterans, old white men, joe rogan, asmongold, the fuckin nra, and on and on and on, all saying "hey this is fucked up," and the list grows every day
usually the "even [traditional right-wing asshole] says this is unacceptable" posts ring hollow to me because it's just one cherry-picked contrarian opinion. but the volume and variety of those posts that are anti-ice now really feels meaningful. I don't think I've ever seen dissent this high.

The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians:
‘Jannik Sinner appeared to win the French Open yesterday after what supporters say was a comeback from being two sets down.’

they could set this headline to auto-publish every week or so and it would always be true about some new atrocity
About 20 or so hours too late, by @nytimes.com has finally taken our “appears to” out of this headline. For finding their spine, even if late, they should be commended because the bar is so so low.

Why does anyone need generative AI when nature throws things like this at us?
The Vulturine Guineafowl is the largest member of the pheasant family and lives in east Africa where they are widely domesticated and used as watch-birds on farms where they gabble loudly whenever an interloper comes into their territory. They're also gorgeous.

unarmed, un-armored, untrained civilians are supposed to be stoic and calm with guns pointed in their face by masked men with "absolute immunity." but if an ice officer sees a glint of metal out of the corner of his eye, he can execute you.

just under 10 years ago, in minnesota, licensed gun owner philando castile informed an officer during a traffic stop that he had a gun but was not reaching for it. then the officer shot him 7 times in front of his girlfriend and her 4-year-old daughter.
not guilty.
not guilty.
If LEOs can kill you for the presence of a weapon you do not actually have a 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Had a nice mute stream while passing through the jet cone of a neutron star on Spoihaae XE-X D2-9 A1. The sounds were soothing, the sights were glorious. 10/10 would risk life and limb again.

all the people worried about population decline should just imagine the pediatric wards about 36 to 40 weeks after It Happens

conservatives love conflating 1 data point with a trend. big point they make during heat waves is "how come every new heat record replaces one from like 1928 if it's so much hotter today than it was then?" well because in 1928 it was a once-in-a-century heat wave, and now every year is that hot.
K… for those who never took an atmospheric science class or statistics class (he does have a bachelors degree from Wharton), one cold wave does not make a trend. Longitudinal weather patterns make up climate change.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's already demoralizing to be a federal thug, a barely sentient ogre. Nobody likes or respects you. But then you go to work in -19 weather thinking surely today you'll get a break from people yelling at you. But no there they are. They're not even cold
Outside the Twin Cities this morning, where it is -19F—
Minnesotans are gathered early outside the Whipple Federal Building. ICE and DHS agents currently arriving at work to much disapproval.
