tapping the "people underestimate how many of our society's elites are motivated not by self-interest, but by sadism" sign

The biggest trade in 2020 was betting in the spring on how severe the Covid pandemic would be. The people who bet that it would be over quickly and relatively painless were catastrophically wrong but made a fortune anyway!

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter www.statesman.com/business/art...

Alan Trustman, who wrote the screenplays for The Thomas Crown Affair and Bullitt, back-to-back 1968 films that starred Steve McQueen in two of his most memorable roles, has died. He was 95.

The martial arts scenes in It’s A Wonderful Life were a key influence on The Matrix

If you want to support a Nazi because he's a 'democrat' who might beat a republican we can't be friends it's the 'support a nazi' part

Hegseth is leading the greatest recruitment campaign for terrorists against the US government and armed forces.

"SHIT" "FUCK" "NO" "FUCK" "SHIT" "FUCK"

UK mainstream media published 6,500 articles about trans people in 2023. It published a similar number in 2025, almost none of which were written by trans people Reminds me of Hannah Arendt’s description of Adolf Eichmann & others like him becoming “experts” on The Jewish Question in 1930s Germany

They never forgave him for that neither

This is Yoda messing with Luke level chaos. Fuck I love cats.

I love how movies from the 70s can give you three of the most gorgeous women you've ever seen and have their love interest be a guy that looks like Benedict Cumberbatch was exposed to radioactive waste but he's in the best suit you've ever seen.

I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal. After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos. Here’s my investigation:

oh so it's oedipal. moving on

If it bothers you to see a Black person online say white people are racist, here's what you can do instead of attempting to refute them in their mentions. End racism.

ESPN: The Emperor promises another amazing new outfit for upcoming parade

whoooooooo okay now . More of this

Nobody involved in perpetrating this evil shit should breathe free air ever again. One way or another.

Prices are up 30 cents since this post and the nearby liquor store has taken down its decade-old Trump Wine display this shit is so monumentally over.

Is there a healthy fascination with Hitler?

Doesn’t she have a football team to be fucking up right now?

I can’t do this anymore

evil. it's ok to call evil people evil. in fact it is necessary

He's yelling at the dumbass Fox News guy. Definitely starting to feel the heat. Will it matter? Who knows, but he's not comfy right now and that makes me feel good.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's response to US troops dying

It would create a different impression if they went with "Still, Elliott Abrams, who aided and abetted a genocide in Guatemala, said he believed there were many benefits to killing the leaders of Iran..."

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

also sort of think the other marines who were allegedly with him and also got tattooed is a dog that hasn't barked, fwiw

I am so glad she's doing this. This entire situation was a horror and deserves prosecution.

I served, you're absolutely full of shit. The poster or book with forbidden tattoos is older than either of us. And I was a combat medic, saw plenty of infantry with ink and none of it racist symbols. Because they wanted to stay in the military.

He got a Nazi tattoo, he frequents anti-Semitic podcasts and posters, he says racist and misogynistic and homophobic shit on reddit...reality called, he's a wannabe Nazi. And, as I frequently point out he's also not equipped to lead anything. You could spin in a circle and point and do better

It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".

Holy fucking shit. 'If Trump says we won then we won' is even further down the hole than the Orwell quote people always dig up about eyes and ears. He attacked Iran so he could win another fake award. That's it. That's the whole thing. That's wild

An entirely unserious position from Schlossberg: - There is no funding available to fix these complexes via Section 9, which is why they're in the state they are in. - These buildings are nearly a century old and in terrible condition. - Rebuilding is actually *cheaper* than repair

Agree with every word of this

What I've been saying lately is that there basically are crimes that are disproportionately civilizationally destabilizing and things like J6 or everything this admin is doing fall under that category.

Incredibly angry about this every day. The people who pick on trans kids are not only disgusting freaks who want to inspect children's genitals, they're also miserable bullies who break the rules of decency laid down by every measurement of morality.

I am starting to get the feeling that the weird social media dynamics around this are downstream of a bunch of millennial dudes snorting cocaine together in DC

i've been putting on a lot of youtube as background noise because I have crippling ADHD and here are some delightful phrases i've heard people use

Happy Friday. Don’t skip school.

The whole point of stateless currencies is to enable lawlessness. Destroying sovereignty is the point.

This is why we will not be able to recover from this even after Trump is gone because the world is watching the entire Congress do NOTHING to rein this shit in.

Getting notes from daycare is so depressing. “He plays by himself…goes off in a corner with a book…doesn’t like to join in with other kids…punishment doesn’t bother him…” yeah, I know, it’s deeply fucking depressing to hear he’s just like I was/am. Had hoped he wouldn’t be cursed with that.

"regain its image as a fun place to shop for stylish clothing, housewares, beauty products and packaged food at affordable prices" lmao is this sponcon? the journalism way to write that would have been "improve its image after destroying its brand by pandering to Donald Trump."

Hawkeye (and the writers room) knew.
