Goodnight from Prospect Park!! Congrats to the Prospect Park Alliance on another great gala — and thanks for tending the park that has truly been the carousel of our lives!

the utter state of my free market bro my economics bro

Yes, this is why the “they’re not groyper” fixation also misses the target because it is only a technicality. This *is* postmodern fascism at its heart. 20th century fascism was a result of industrial capitalism meeting nationalism while this the result of consumerism meeting racialized nihilism.

2. I don't particularly care if he was charged (largely because of 1). The point to me, though, is they knew this and he's still in office. He doesn't need to be charged to be deemed by the administration to be not fit for office.

When your regime consolidation is going great.

If you want democrats to allow a shutdown, you need to boost their messaging blaming republicans for it!! Share with your family and friends

i said it sounds like he's just feeding bribes to republicans and then his ADA started crying

@thelouvreof.bsky.social there are two wolves inside every bsky poster...

remember when we had *several* news cycles over bill clinton getting onto loretta lynch's jet

You know what didn’t happen? Pundits going on Gab, Parler, Gettr, or Truth Social to repeatedly say “no one cares about this site, you’re in a bubble, you forfeited your influence, things are awesome on the site you don’t use anymore, so awesome that I come here to tell you you’re dumb unlike me.”

COOPER UNION MENTIONED

a few thoughts (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

God this is just the stupidest shit.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

LotR George Pearkes be like "uh oh ROHAN: WESTFOLD HAS FALLEN"

If abolishing the senate and greatly restricting private car ownership began polling well, it would be a good thing. it would not be like someone discovering my favorite underground band and the new audience diluting their appeal to me.

yeah man that's literally the entire point: I don't get off on being radical. it is not an emotionally important identity to me. I do not like that many of political beliefs are outside the mainstream. I consider that bad. I would be happy if that changed.

yessirrrr

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

Do you know how badly things have to be going in America for us to be owned this hard by the Dutch? The Dutch of all people

So, basically, the 'Ain't reading all that' meme?

the corollary seems to be that one of the most important defenses of liberal democracy is pandemic preparedness and vaccine development

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

I'm beginning to think the endless right-wing focus on letting comedians make transphobic, sexist, violent, racist jokes without professional consequences wasn't about protecting the freedom to make jokes.

I do not expect it, because the kind of people who were sanctimonious scolds about how hysterical our Trump warnings were are not the kind of people who ever apologize about anything but I want extensive mea culpas from every last one of them, because I am a petty bitch and we were right

Funny is one of the ultimate meritocracies, and elites HATE it

Not gonna lie I have to be up in six hours for a call for work, and I just, I don’t know how the fuck I’m supposed to do this right now man. My country is canceling television programs to play propaganda for a deceased member of the regime, And I’m supposed to worry about the excel?

Worth your time. Whether or not you can justify this as "standard police practices for public safety"—an excuse I've heard—this is horrible PR. I hope Kat makes it to Congress, and has an axe to grind against Homeland Security.

This from @democrats.senate.gov is much better than the reporting of a mere ACA extension just until the midterms. They need to be loud about it and hold to it, including causing a shutdown, to make it clear to low-info voters who is on which side. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

I’m not keeping my contempt for Republican voters internalized, I’m not on the comms staff for the local campaign in whatever swing district you live in.

Okay, to put an even sharper point on this: they are not even 9 months in and they are openly censoring *Jimmy fucking Kimmel* because he poked fun at the president for lack of empathy. These are desperate moves. They are desperate because they are weak and people are naming it.

nothing sums moment more than admin, its political allies, media, and pundits all obsessively telling us that Charlie Kirk was more important than Jesus…. …..and Kirk polling underwater with zero sympathy bump from being murdered.

elites siding with whoever makes the most death threats and then carries them out is not setting up good incentives for a positive society

all the comparisons to 9/11 and W years has me thinking about oil: I think we're in such a bad spot rn because the Oil Madness is synergizing with the Computer Madness

Pertient repost. Might've been from you.

@dropout.tv is one of the best networks out there not just because it's hilarious and everyone seems to love being there, but because of the very intentional approach to creating joyous, authentic content

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

the reason that i specify the disney+ subscription is that wall street loves monthly recurring revenue, disney+ has been growing at double digits year over year, and you eliminate viewership on several of their properties all at once, cancel it for at least a couple quarters to send a message

This crystallizes the incredible shrinking Congress under Trump: MAGA Republicans think that public employees should not communicate with Congress even when members of Congress make clear that they want to hear from them. Because they believe legislative oversight of Trump is fundamentally wrong.

In 2016, I answered a Q from a DCCC staffer on how to revitalize the Dem Party with: train & fund ordinary ppl (students; under-employed; retired) to cover statehouse/local issues. She looked at me like I had 3 heads.

marketing departments were already so obnoxious

just signed!

Nancy Mace is trying to censure Rep Ilhan and strip her of her committee spots over reposts about Charlie Kirk

horse shoe theory isn't real, That Guy is just the same guy wearing different hats

bio/anatomy teacher didn't believe in evolution, really good math teacher didn't believe in dinosaurs, bio teachers and a history teacher all talked about how much they liked Rush Limbaugh (and we knew Vive Principal did Not) yes this was in Florida, why do you ask 🥴

dawg

anyone else cultivating odd phrasing in work contexts? I've been using "I will meditate on this" when I'm just gonna think about something more

"The death of Charlie Kirk in Utah was tragic. However, we can take comfort in the fact that Charlie was doing what he loved best — spreading hate, racism, homophobia, misogyny, and transphobia on college campuses."

the nicest thing I'll say about Shapiro is that I've always enjoyed arguing online with fans of his. they're a fantastic combo of confident in their own ability to debate without having the smarts to back it up. nerds you can stuff in the locker and not feel bad because they're also not good people
