Saw it this afternoon and enjoyed it. Brilliant performances and captivating action sequences. But it isn’t CE3K or E.T., and it isn’t even really a UFO flick at heart. I suspect my Gen-X peers will miss the point because of that. I say check it out. theatlantic.com/culture/2026…

Nice walk-off, Mango Mussolini. Now let's see you walk away from the presidency. Just walk away...🤣
WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her." "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.

I’d rather have a senator who eats meatless breakfast tacos than a senator who eats Trump’s ass.

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

Seriously what is the GOP’s end game? Burn down everything just to rule over the ashes?

The collapse of trust in science is going to go down in history as one of the most sad, bizarre, and destructive social contagions of modern times. We fed billions, cured diseases and powered nations - yet people ran toward conspiracies instead.

He is vandalizing the city of Washington, D.C., as a monument to himself. Mussolini attempted the same thing with the city of Rome. Fun fact: Il Duce was later lynched by his own people. politico.com/news/2026/04/28…

This week, we’ve been told that Donald Trump was once physically fit enough to be an astronaut AND a pro baseball prospect, yet somehow bone spurs 5 times precluded him from serving like most men of his generation.

If this country survives this lump of shit we’ve got in the White House right now, let’s remember how we got here. We were stupid. As a generation, as a country, as a people we were goddamn stupid. Record breaking stupid.

Every time I think about what these two brilliant women could’ve done for America, and how the nation said, “Nah— we’ll take the corrupt, racist, sex-abusing, demented, malignant narcissist”— it fills me with indescribable sadness and rage.

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

The worldwide reputation of the US has been badly damaged. But the success of Artemis II reminds us there’s another America, clever, bold, open to the world, which we love and admire.
