After Ilhan Omar & I discussed Charlie Kirk’s assassination, that both of us condemned, conservatives screenshotted an unrelated part of the convo where we were momentarily smiling & ridiculously claimed we were ‘celebrating’ his death. It’s an easy enough, & very cynical, trick to play. 🤷🏽‍♂️

No matter what this meeting is about, Pete will always be a National Guardsman assigned to a Civil Affairs unit who got a bunch of crusader tattoos in his 40s because he wants you to think he's a cool, war-criming operator instead of an extremely online wife-beating loser

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Not buying anything EA as long as I live if this shit succeeds.

you win if you fight

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

Trump gets humiliated at the UN, Kimmel returns, he drops further in the polls and just goes fucking crazy at the White House today. Insane new tariffs, Comey, war against his domestic opponents, shutting down the government. He is losing it, and it’s getting dangerous out there.

Irredeemable gutter racist trash elected by irredeemable gutter racist trash

You’re not gonna wanna miss what I do to this punk

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

great time to turn the reins over to a right-wing bram stoker villain looking dork

well meaning people love to be like ‘aren’t you scared of being left behind if you don’t start using AI in your work’ and from the bottom of my heart: no, im not scared of that. i would rather go back to restaurants for the rest of my life than publish AI ‘books’

Ahhh, the GOP

CHOTINER: And yet you installed him as headmaster. XAVIER: He’d changed for the better! He was my friend. CHOTINER: So it’s okay to lead a group literally called, let me check, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants—if they’re your friend. XAVIER: I didn’t say that. CHOTINER: Didn’t you, though?

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

Dems should be clear that post 2026 election any political prosecutions ordered by Trump will be investigated, line prosecutors called to testify, and if warranted, impeachment of AG and any other senior DOJ involved. There have to be consequences.

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

Work’s been very fluid this week but I think I have it sorted. We’re going back to Portal island! If I finish it on Saturday, Sunday will be The Eternal Castle [remastered].

Jello Biafra mused on a Maximum Wage in a mid-1990’s spoken word cd (Beyond the Valley of the Thought Police?) and I’ve thought about it once a month ever since.

This dialogue verbatim but in Babu Frik's voice

Zelenskyy celebrating Trump's reversal on Ukraine is strategic - he *must* cheerlead for it. At the same time, he's also obviously smart enough to know that Trump's sentiment can (will!) flip on a dime, so tact and trust are diametrically opposed when looking for aid under this administration.

"Too hot for tv because of Republican feelings" and "inspired by a true story" is perhaps the most crystal clear evidence of Colbert's axiom "reality has a well-known liberal bias."

We have exported our greatest domestic product: stupidity

Those station groups not allowing their viewers to see tonight’s Jimmy Kimmel are denying them access to an important moment in TV history.

🎯🎯🎯

Diamonds Are Forever has some dreadful film moments (the open with Donald Pleasance's Blofeld) but also some amazing ones (Bruce Glover/Putter Smith, the theme song by Shirley Bassey). It's the perfect bridge from Connery to the corny Moore films. (Moore is still a better Bond)

Tired of leftists being labels as having Trump Derangement Syndrome when this homeboy is the epitome of TDS.

I hate to be the guy who was cool before it was cool but I've hated the fuck out of Sinclair for nearly as long as I've been married www.mediamatters.org/sinclair-bro...

Fucking brazen right-wing shithead propagandists from AT LEAST the 2004 election on. Fuck them. Shut 'em down.

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

And, bluntly, it's hard to do so without swearing or just going

Lmao. WaPo-ass business model: poss off your customers, then piss them off again.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

Right now: CNN vs Democracy Docket Notice a difference? Support independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

always kind of mystified by people who say stuff like “I don’t want to vote when it feels like a choice between stubbing your toe and getting shot” as though that’s a challenging dilemma

The University Democrats at UT-Austin, a longstanding student group, has been told that no guests, candidates, or speakers can speak at their meetings unless the administration approves them. Submitted speakers' lists have been ignored or summarily denied. Please HMU if you know a good 1A attorney

LA Rams' second-half defense:

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

WWE presents Great Bawls of Fire

Wonderful news!

The slightest scintilla of joy to be derived in these miserable fascist times: there is nothing - no victory on earth, no amount of hateful policies passed - NOTHING that will ever give them the remotest feeling of satisfaction. They are forever miserable.

AJ Brown with a chip on his shoulder is the BEST

The only thing more delightful than the last two Eagles' Super Bowls has been a lifetime of Cincinnati football misery. The Brown family deserves nothing but generations of scorn and sadness.
