@MintFantome Youtube has been having a lot of hour-long ads lately, sometimes even unskippable ones. Likely the culprit.

@CaspurrCatacini @niminightmare The video was hilarious, and your art really elevated it, great job boss.

The Internal Revenue Service’s free tax-filing system will get a new ability that critics say it should have had all along: automatically filling in information that the IRS already has. https://t.co/vKn3mLeaxt

Nobody is like "why does a company that provides therapy/discounts/vpn have infinite money" and go hmm

Luigi Mangione: I was going to use a bomb to kill the CEO but I didn’t want to harm anyone else

US gov: This is terrorism!

Israel: We are using unguided 2000 pound bombs in a densely populated civilian area to level entire apartment blocks

US gov: This is self-defence!

Thanks to Elon Musk and Donald Trump, Republicans cut $190 million for pediatric cancer research from the funding bill.

Congrats to DOGE on their first victory.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

Musk has ordered Trump & Republicans to end disaster relief funding, keep childcare centers closed, and shut down government services for farmers, veterans, and retirees.

None of this matters to the richest man in the world. But it should matter to us.

In January, Israeli historian Lee Mordechai released a 124 page report with 1,400 footnotes detailing evidence of Israel’s genocide. How many of you heard about it? Did any Western papers cover it?

The rest of our lives are going to be filled with people pretending they didn't understand what's been going on in Gaza for the past year, when they absolutely, 100% did and were ok with it.

No bank executives arrested for laundering $670,000,000 in drug cartel money. But jump a turnstile and get arrested or shot for $2.90.

From 1948 to today, ethnic cleansing hasn’t been about rare instances of Israeli extremity — it is a defining feature of the daily colonial subjugation of the Palestinian people. https://t.co/IhDRw9e6iY

Finally got to this stunning expose on the Ohio county where fossil fuel interests are trying to block a solar project by filling the local newspaper--once an actual paper, now a shell "pink slime" publication--with anti-solar propaganda. Dystopian stuff: https://t.co/pOe8jUXGCc

Things that must be said ⬇️
“The new state was supported unhesitatingly and unflinchingly, armed and bankrolled, coddled and applauded, no matter what crimes it committed. It grew up like a protected child in a wealthy home whose parents smile proudly as it commits atrocity upon atrocity. No wonder today it feels free to boast openly about committing genocide. (At least The Pentagon Papers were secret. They had to be stolen. And leaked.) No wonder Israeli soldiers seem to have lost all sense of decency. No wonder they flood the social media with depraved videos of themselves wearing the lingerie of women they have killed or displaced, videos of themselves mimicking dying Palestinians and wounded children or raped and tortured prisoners, images of themselves blowing up buildings while they smoke cigarettes or jive to music on their headphones. Who are these people? 
What can possibly justify what Israel is doing?”

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

Imagine if Kamala Harris said she was going to withhold disaster assistance to Georgia unless the governor accepted her policy position. How big a story do you think that would be? And for how long?
