In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Grew up not far from here…now going down a Google Maps rabbit hole surfacing place-memories and the weird world of my childhood in the 70s-80s

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

Every normal real American man puts a no skydiving clause in the prenup

How about nope?

Gotta make these for real

Heh

This isn’t journalism. This is creative writing by fascist sycophants.

TRUMP: "I'm gonna fuckin' blow up all the fuckers! I wanna use all the bombs before I die! Helter skelter! Helter skelter! Race war! Race war! Fuck Easter and fuck you, too!" NEWS: "Trump promises to strengthen military in early morning Easter greeting."

Don’t tell the kids, but this is a free website for astronomy lessons

Just a few dozen handfuls, really

Lee “Scratch” Perry was born on this date in 1936.

Things seem to be getting pretty weird out there in Q2 of the 21st century

The resident chatbot of the Vatican is just asking questions here

Listening to Daniel Lopatin’s wonderful Marty Supreme score. Could soundtrack a ballet.

Trump is such an asshole he’s got the Irish guy defending the English guy

Extreme wealth leads to brain rot. This is why I decided not to be a billionaire.

I think the President musing about killing people "just for fun" would have resulted in every major paper demanding impeachment in the before times.

LOL

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

How about introducing a bill to increase federal spending on a clean energy transition you stupid stupid motherfuckers

It is time to get into the headspace

Your regular reminder that normal, mainstream, pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

"Who gives a shit about foreign countries targeting American soldiers in the reckless war we started?" is just a hell of a take for a White House press secretary

Got hammered with Henry Hill.

Can’t wait til this whole thing releases

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

Anyone working in "news" or "politics" needs to finally wrap their minds around the idea that X isn't reaching anyone that matters. You're wasting your time pitching no one. You're wasting your money pitching no one.

Can’t wait until we’re greeted as liberators

Another Bill has a new LP (In My Dreams, on Blue Note) I’m listening to: Bill Frisell. Good day for Bills.

Always be listening to Bill Callahan

We have an amazing guy right over here, your senator, Lyin’ Ted, I’m putting him on the supreme court

Going to be doing some deep listening with Bill Callahan’s new one

Adding a new word to my vocabulary: sloplord.

Comedy gold 👇

Listening now to the aurally stimulating new LP by Peaches

Peaches and Moby have records out the same day. I feel like that was planned somehow.

Maybe I should go look at all those articles I saved but forgot I saved and haven’t looked at

One of the greatest covers evah

Counterpoint: fucking soak the rich.

No one needs AI slop. It is absolutely not necessary to post images of AI slop to illustrate whatever point you’re trying to make.

A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.

Happy Residents Day!

Great article, but I will not be doing any further investigation into the cultural phenomenon known as “looksmaxxing”

Sing us a song, as long as you’re not the piano man

The current administration is staffed by a nightmare blunt rotation of childish and narcissistic cartoon villain bullies who flout basic human decency while flaunting their own racism and misogyny, much like the senile adjudicated rapist chief executive

Put it this way: if you are trying to predict Trump's actions, "what would a committed racist/minsogynst do?" will get you about a 95% hit rate. "What would a desperately insecure narcissist who is deeply afraid of weakness & drawn to bullying strength do?" will get you 100%.
