MARKETING EXEC 1: so I was thinking, vampires, garlic, what if the book was garlic scented MARKETING EXEC 2: incredible idea. ill call my guy at hellmans MARKETING EXEC 1: your who where????

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

Ah yes the master of horror himself

"daddy fell asleep on the floor when we were playing ponies" okay, and so what? so what if that's true?

I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.

This is so funny because what does the word "boss" mean. Do you think the "boss" is the person at work that you get to boss around? I'm pretty sure you've got that backwards!

Another possibility: he has considered it, and he’s decided that he’d rather have an army of abusive, roided-up white men staffing our military because they’re more likely to be Trump loyalists willing to kill for him without compunction

Not to put too fine a point on it, but: if you don't feel like you get to draw the line as a public thinker, why are you clutching so hard to the public pen? What do you think it's *for?*

one of the weirder parts of this wave of total surrender of core civil liberties is there is no fucking reason for it. no world war 2, not even a 9/11. we're just bored and mad

fun fact that while trump v. us says that the president cannot be held criminally liable for using his core powers, this does not extend to his officers

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

I agree & furthermore predict that the central premise of this piece will prove to be the opposite of the case: that the Democrats will AVOID prosecuting crimes committed by the Trump administration in order to avoid the appearance of politicization

thankfully for this gentleman your right to recover damages from federal actors who violate your rights is well estab-- *aide starts gesticulating wildly*

For @truthout.org yesterday I wrote about how the government's lies about tylenol and autism reminds me a lot of the government's lies about trans people. truthout.org/articles/ant...

it’s so funny trump can repost deepfakes of himself claiming bacta tanks are coming because he thinks he must have said that at some point and he’s still going to be in office a week from now

Ever notice how nearly every right-wing influencer starts talking about the same things around the same time, often using the exact same terminology that didn't exist a week prior? Ask Tim Pool about it.

We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us

can't stress this enough, FUCK ICE!

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

They made my existence into an "issue" then complained I'd become a single issue voter

I’m never going to stop being mad that hedge funds and tech middlemen siphoned off all the money that should’ve let someone like Kaleb Horton have the career he deserved

consumers aren't gonna spend shit on this garbage because it sucks ass and does nothing useful, so I'm guessing their exit plan is the same as every other bubble, big taxpayer bailouts for the well connected players and devastation for everyone else

Recent reporting alleges that civilian men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and sexually assault immigrant women, with cases in North Carolina and New York. Unmasking ICE agents is important, but it’s a Band-Aid on a broader, systemic crisis. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social's full Op-Ed ⤵️

Yup: "80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding." For more on this listen to "Carbon Bros," the latest season of @drilledmedia.bsky.social with @amywestervelt.bsky.social

These guys are going “What else.. what else” with the most horrific shit throughout American history

The video is... something else. This ICE agent has zero training. Stuffing the gun in his belt, so of course it falls out? What restraining hold was he even trying to do? Why did he point the gun at the crowd? Everyone who played a role in putting this guy on the street needs to be fired.

Me: What was for lunch today? Kid: Hot dog. But I threw it at this boy who was making fun of Mia. How was your dentist appointment Daddy? Me: What? Kid: I asked how your dentist appointment went Me: Dude

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

Anyways, I think anti-feminist backlash/male identity politics is going to be one of the dominant pan-ideological elite obsessions going forward, for much the same reason that transphobia is so popular: It lets you cosplay as a brave outsider while pandering to the most powerful people in the room.

one thing i think about @moiradonegan.bsky.social's point is that you never hear people go from "male loneliness" -> why don't we get men involved in collective projects of meaning for the most part. instead it's usually a discussion about how society is too "feminine"

i want "7soulsdeep" brought to justice

I think the world is finally ready for Goth Worf. brandonbird.myshopify.com/collections/...

In the first Trump admin there were clearly people unwilling to go too far out of fear that there would be professional or legal consequences. They leaked to the press, defected, quit, or were fired. Failing to impose those consequences, or even threaten to do so, has removed those fears

If your political party’s entire theme is “MASCULINE MEN DOING MASCULINE THINGS SO STRONG,” I feel like endlessly whining about an escalator stopping for five seconds is the opposite of that

Now that the Rapture’s come and gone and all of Christ’s anointed have ascended into heaven without us, we can finally say what we REALLY thought about them

CHOTINER: Record shows you didn’t post a Chotiner meme until Thursday? ME: That’s correct. CHOTINER: That seems unusual. Wouldn’t you say you usually jump on all the viral ‘bits?’ ME: I’d say so, but I had lots of work to do yesterday. CHOTINER: So, that work is done now?

Yeah I’m sure you do wish you had been asked about dogs and not a war criminal but the reason we repost this guys interviews is because he asks about the war criminals

I understand what this actually says, but also I can't stop laughing at how that meaning changes if you're outside of Iowa. www.etsy.com/listing/1868...

I've been screaming about the weird double-standard between avoiding the word "lie" but freely using the word "believes" for years. A lot of journos and editors are not just deluded by their neutrality theater priorities, they're also not very smart.

A crackdown on gay cruising inside the Penn Station bathroom by the federal Amtrak Police has landed one person in ICE custody. Amtrak Police, unlike the NYPD, are not bound by local sanctuary protections. www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/24/a...

Just a reminder that these "pivotal votes" that the Democrats got in these recent special elections aren't pickups. They are pivotal seats that have been vacant for months because the Democrats who previously held them ran for office notwithstanding age and cancer diagnoses, then died in office.

i have seen exactly zero evidence to suggest that peter thiel is anything other than a dumbass who got lucky once

to me, the “column” is less a form than an opportunity (and a challenge). you’re telling me i have as much space as i’d like to make an argument about anything i’d like to an audience inclined to pay close attention? well let’s see if they’ll read 2000 words on democratic legitimacy. (gift link)
