I hate to fan the international flames, but has Minnesota considered applying to be Canada’s 11th province? It would solve some problems.

Kamchatka, like Greenland, is an important territory in Risk so I’m sure the Trumpian “brain” trust is on it
Kamchata rn is a fun reminder that human civilization has no idea how to survive another mass glaciation event and we have as little as 10,000 years to figure it out

Minneapolis residents are painting tunnels onto brick walls and ICE agents are running into them. This is not funny.

I’m realizing that Renee Good’s murder has actually ended up scaring ICE goons more than anyone else. They realize that killing someone might make them a hero to some but also a monster to many others.

The insistence on making these robots bipedal is probably the most obvious giveaway that it's all a big carny gimmick

If you think the trans athlete issue is contentious, wait till we have the genetically modified vs. natural athlete discussion

If closing the government means ICE agents stop getting paid then I’m for it

Shutdowns are the outcome when you need 51 votes to enact policies but 60 votes to pay for them

I see many people asserting with 100% certainty that there will be no more fair elections in this country. This is an incredibly self-defeating attitude. The only way Trump can have such power is if people willingly give up their right to resist

At the time of the events of Lord of the Rings, Middle Earth has been experiencing FIVE THOUSAND years of economic decline.

Is it any wonder that some people were turning to Sauron, who for all his faults was at least a different kind of politician?

Doing large scale immigration enforcement only in blue state cities is a good way to get immigrants to move to red state cities.

No, Google did not build an AI that can communicate with dolphins.

Anyone can talk to dolphins. They just have no idea what you're saying.
