I know this little dude is safe, but how freaking confused must it be?!

I have to wonder who Clarence Thomas sees in the mirror. It certainly is not what everyone else sees.

When the White House released their ridiculous “weaponization of government” report, claiming the Biden administration discriminated against conservatives, the press lapped it up Meanwhile today the Trump DOJ looked to vacate convictions against seditionists and Tulsi Gabbard did this

As terrible Swalwell appears to be, I’m heartened by how quickly he was dealt with. Democrats didn’t care about the politics; we believed survivors and he’s out. Meanwhile, how long did Gonzales hang around? How many GOP rallied around him? He only resigned AFTER Swalwell said he would.

I reiterate it is **impossible** to be both Catholic and oppose the Pope. If you don’t submit, you aren’t Catholic. It’s been that way for… some time now 🙄

The fact that evangelicals were okay with Trump threatening to destroy an entire civilization but drew the line at a picture of him as Jesus tells you everything you need to know about modern Christian morality.

For many years people have avoided fucking corpses. Jeffrey Dahmer is taking a different approach.

a lot of people whose work I like is substack, and they'll never get a dime from me until they move somewhere else.

IBM just paid a fine for DEI “concerns” it denies having engaged in. Meanwhile…

Absolute same!

Trump is now *so* backed into a corner politically that he may be on the verge of triggering a hot WWIII solely to “justify” suspending elections. How is China going to respond when an American warship sinks a civilian vessel with their citizens on it?

It is literally now impossible to be a Catholic and support Donald Trump. Literally impossible.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

I feel horrible, but I have $5 in the bank and don't have gas money to make it to my work meeting tomorrow, nor groceries, electric bill is late and about to shut off, and I'm behind as hell. I need $1k to be in the clear, but ANYTHING helps. Venmo is @BenKuchera PayPal is paypal.me/benkuchera

jd vance international tour of humiliation continues. visit pakistan and leave with the strait more closed than it was before. visit hungary and watch orban get posterized.

If I want Americans to take one lesson from Hungary it’s this: you can win even IF the system is rigged against you. Fascism is so fundamentally weak that it can be beaten with even limited democracy.

Aren’t Stand Your Ground laws built for ICE? If you’re an American citizen and they target you, why is it illegal to defend yourself? #NRA #2A

I visited Hungary with a scholarship class in 2002. It was so full of hope, so happy to be moving into a new era. It’s such a beautiful place, and the people were equally beautiful, kind and friendly. They lit up every time one of us said, “köszönöm”.

“Let me clear: While I have deep ties to a certain affluent individual and secret societies involved in pedophilia, I never once sexually harmed children anywhere near Jeffrey Epstein,” said the outraged first lady

I am absolutely not ready for #Colbert to be off the air. He’s gotten us through so much.

Saying “this is not a paywall” when you try to prevent me from reading your content unless I sign up doesn’t actually mean it isn’t a paywall. It is. You want my email address. That’s your payment. If you said that, I might give it. But you say, “this is not a paywall.” So fuck you

When US systems really start failing I want a camera on the President when he hears the words, “you got rid of trans people and they were the ones keeping it all running.”

the strait of hormuz is in a quantum superposition of open and closed that only collapses when you try to take a tanker through yourself and see if you get shot at

- The electoral college was supposed to prevent a Trump - Congress was supposed to approve a cabinet that would stand up to Trump - The cabinet was supposed to stand up to Trump - Congress was supposed to impeach and remove a Trump - The Constitution says a Trump (insurrectionist) can’t be President

I know people here look down on Mastodon but this is absolutely how I feel rn toot.now/@tyzbit/stat...

Have the people who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Kamala learned anything?

The fact journalists just went along with the term “prediction market” tells you everything you need to know about the state of journalism.

“There was widespread alarm at AI programs encouraging adolescent thoughts of suicide, but it now appears that this might be acceptable if a human therapist acted in the same manner.” apple.news/AzhvxLRhhQPq...

I’d support so many creators if they didn’t use #Substack. Better for my wallet I suppose.

I know there is no god because the meteors never land where they can do the most good

Every single American, and in some ways, most people on earth, are less safe every single day this man holds this job. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Hegseth (and all GOP): Every job is better served by *any* White man over *every* person of color and *all* women. These people aren’t against affirmative action. They just think it benefits the wrong people.

this is the chaplain btw. wonder why he was fired.

I played clarinet. This made me cry. Beautiful.

Donald Trump’s voters murdered this man. They’re responsible for hundreds of thousands from USAID. Which will be millions compounding over time. They killed every one of those soldiers in Iran. They’re killing mothers to be who can’t get appropriate care. It’s not just Trump.

Now that we’re nearly in market correction territory will #Bondi discuss #Epstein?

New: Pete Hegseth’s pastor and close spiritual advisor says he wants Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico to die. “We want him crucified with Christ,” Brooks Potteiger said of Talarico, as the podcast host said he prays “that God kills him.” www.huffpost.com/entry/pete-h...

I’m struggling to think of a better way to shut down international recreational travel to the US than deploying ICE to airports. I cannot.

The Onion’s Exclusive Interview With Sam Altman https://theonion.com/the-onions-exclusive-interview-with-sam-altman/

I spent the first eighteen years of my life in #Yuma, AZ, which gets more sun annually than any other place on earth. Where summers touching upon 120F was not uncommon. If you did not grow up in that, you are not prepared for the world you’re about to inhabit.

The left keeps talking about keeping cars off the road when it should be talking about keeping people off the road. You could eliminate a half of America’s car traffic by simply eliminating demonstrably bad drivers.

I’m the very last person who will defend Bernie Sanders, but the liberal response to his chat with Claude is a perfect example of why we can’t win elections.

jfc John Fetterman is a disappointment. What an unapologetically shameless turncoat.

Trump straight up lied about talking to a former President and the media shrugged it off. Can you imagine if Obama had made up a similar story? He'd already have been impeached.

Didn't expect #Godot area lights to blow up now, but this demo by @passivestar.bsky.social is beautiful! For those new to my acc: the area light PR is my Master's Thesis, I've worked on it for more than 1 year practically fulltime without pay - now, it could be merged any day! 🥹 Support me below!

I'll never forgive the tech crowd for abstaining in utilizing its collective power. Would Elon be a problem today if SpaceX employees simply refused to work until he was gone? Would Twitter still exist if enough of those six figure employees had simply said no?

Everyone knew Chrome was Google's Trojan horse but they invited it in anyway because cOnVeNiEnCe. How's that working out for you? "Oh we had no choice, that's what customers use." They sold us that shit in 2007 because of IE6. Did you learn nothing??
