This mostly feels like Tucker (and MTG) trying to gauge interest in a far-right nationalist third party -- with Carlson as its figurehead.

really disturbing news out of Texas today from my colleague @joshkovensky.bsky.social who has been covering the Trump administration's campaign to treat dissent as terrorism:

Remember how CDC “Director” Jay Bhattacharya abused his power and blocked the CDC’s journal, MMWR, from publishing a paper showing the clear benefit of COVID19 vaccination among healthy adults? Well, it was just published by a very reputable journal. Hope you enjoy the humiliation, Jay.

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

Do not speak to me of the Deep Magics, Weeaboo... I was there when it was only available on 2nd or 3rd generation VHS bootleg mailed to you by your Japanese Pen Pal. Happy 40th, "Project A-ko"!

look folks we're never getting anywhere until we eliminate this system that encourages the shittiest people alive to buy anything they want and transform it into a weapon in their service

The intentionality behind storyboarding is so metatextual there's really next to no chance it's actually going to succeed at doing this. AI can only emulate surface level aesthetic, it will have no idea why a shot is framed from below or whatever. It will just make shit up

Never forget: Alan Greenspan chaired a 1983 Social Security commission that raised payroll taxes for working people. Then in 2001 he told Congress that we needed to lower taxes on the wealthy because we were in danger of paying off the deficit too fast. His legacy is regressive taxation.

I've harped on before about how Laibach's latest offering "Musick" is brilliant like a million suns. With assistance from Magnet, Laibach lay it out for the uninitiated. magnetmagazine.com/2026/06/21/f...

For my newsletter I wrote about how Kier Starmer should serve as a warning for centrist Democrats in the US. It's a real crystal ball moment. www.burnsnotice.com/its-the-cent...

"I have accepted Keir Starmer's resignation as my chief servant and have invited Andy Burnham to lay out details for how many meals a day he'll give me"

Alan Greenspan is finally dead. Good. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/06/rare...

Glad House Of The Dragon is sticking with "Living in a medieval-esque world sucks immensely if you're not nobility, and even then it's pretty craptastic." (Poor flying danger lizards with roughly the intelligence of a housecat. All they wanna do is fly around and barbecue livestock, but Nooooo...)

Of course Lestat's gonna repaint his conversion to look like an 80s Bonnie Tyler video... or that single that Meat Loaf did for Bat Out Of Hell 2. And then when the truth arises... Godsdamn.

Looks like the World's Richest Podcasting Thumb is starting down the ol' Alex Jones "They're All Out To Get Me!" route. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

'Went twice' lol

Reasons for writers to use "big" words: 1) The "big" word conveys a nuance of meaning that the "normal" word may not, being too vague 2) The "big" word sounds cool (as in, the word actually does sound cool and not like the writer is trying to get sapiosexually laid) 3) You fucking feel like it

Desmodesmus antifascisticus, l'algue du peuple.

Fascinating that Dudes who: Started an online bookstore Created the online version of MapsGo Turned "Hot OR Not" into a website All claim that they are at the forefront of Human Potential. Capitalism is a helluva drug.

-without using AI. *cough*

Happy 82 birthday to The Kinks' Ray Davies!

Anyone messing with the reflecting pool algae will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, in accordance with the National Trump’s Shitty Presidency Metaphor Preservation Act.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

BUCKAROO BANZAI AGAINST THE WORLD CRIME LEAGUE (W. D. Richter, 1988) Dr. Eduardo Lizardo (Peter MacNicol) is recruited by the World Crime League to exact revenge against Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers while, simultaneously, stealing a doomsday device from Area 57.

"The problem with the internet is anonymity" ok but people on nextdoor are insane next to their full name and address

Mitt Romney and other respectable Republicans are different than the Trump kind sure. They still think the poor are subhuman and deserve to suffer to enrich them personally, but they think it's impolite for you to notice and mention that they think that.

Paradeolia - a tendency for making something distinct out of something vague. Paranoideolia - when Right Wing "news" reports on that same vague thing, and then blames Postmodern Marxism, Antifa, The Left, Democrats, Socialism, The Gays, Trans People, Vegans, ad infinitum...

I learned most of my vocab from reading books, so learning that some people think there shouldn't be novel words in books is very weird. I don't know what words you don't know. That is not my problem.

How do you publish this article without noting that it's a violation of the constitution. What is the goddamn point of you.

I had hoped things had moved on – I recall having this conversation over 10 years ago – but am still coming across these same "objections" to gender-neutral pronouns in the wild so thought I'd come up with this handy guide to debunking them.

If Waffle House doesn’t make this their new slogan, then capitalism has failed

My dad's response to a letter: "As to your questions-for relaxation I build model airplanes and read. I can't dance the length of a small closet, but I like music. My pet peeves are Senator McCarthy and the Ku Klux Klan. My favorite people are Eleanor Roosevelt and Jackie Robinson." Rod Serling

I would rather have an inefficient space program than a trillonaire nazi

There's probably no correlation that the DC CW verse was at full-fledged awesome when Stargirl had Teddy Bear's "Cobrastyle" in an episode & then the DC Movies hit similar levels of Awesome with Superman which had Teddy Bear's "Punk Rocker" in it. Probably none, but I like to think there is one.

Eric Metaxas, of the most prominent Christian nationalists in the country, recently wrote a book that so misleadingly equates the modern right to Bonhoeffer that it was publicly condemned by Bonhoeffer’s descendants.

Here is the reverend Dietrich Bonhoeffer, hanged by the Nazis, in his own words, especially for Representative Brandon Gill. Someone please forward it to him

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945. He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.

Bluesky as a whole should be intellectually hostile to this RFK-ass bullshit. It’s the gateway to antivax stuff that literally kills people.

REPUBLICAN SENATOR: Democrats want you to believe that sending FIVE MILLION DOLLARS of YOUR tax money to MEXICO to “manage” the “Dick Exploding Spider” population is “normal” SAME SENATOR SIX MONTHS LATER: (walking like a saddle-sore cowboy) This is the greatest public health crisis of our lives,
