Which ethnofascist billionaire-owned media conglomerate do you want sabotaging the Dems? Here's a cheat code for outsider Dems looking to break through: say you'll legalize selling young boys' blood to older men for de-aging purposes. You'll be center podium.

anyways however you jump on this one, i think this piece makes a strong argument that letting media that hates dems and want them to lose host democratic primary debates is not, in fact, the greatest of ideas

This is absolutely brilliant -- but you might need to click through then scroll back to find the context. Though, I'd suspect a lot of you will get the context immediately.

Our robust scientific framework says atoms are binary.

This is pretty well known, but the Australian flag Sam Neill wore on his uniform in Event Horizon was designed at his request to show the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal flag, because he hoped in the future this is how it would actually look. A proper fucken ally in every way, this bloke.

From Stephan Zweig's The World of Yesterday.

Hard to pick a best John Carpenter, but In the Mouth of Madness is at least tied for the top spot. RIP Sam Neill.

I watched these male American goldfinches fighting in midair. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

a lot of people take the wrong lessons away from both AOC and mamdani, sure, their policies are popular amongst people who pay attention to policy, but they're both approachable, friendly, charming and gregarious, which was true of the centrists who got elected 675 years ago when they first ran, too

Despite leading the French to victory in the WW1 Battle of Verdun, after Marshal Philippe Petain died, a lot of people focused on that other thing he did. Is it really fair to speak ill of the dead like that?

Father and son are going to the gulag. - Father, where are they taking us? - Son, I'm not interested in politics.

I don't know, Margot Robbie is just extraordinary. "But I don't control the trains OR the means of production!"

Ten years ago, this wouldn't have been acceptable on Main. Now it's everywhere.

Interesting choice by NYT to publish an op-ed bemoaning America’s projected population decline by a guy who’s massively racist against immigrants and compares IVF to “Nazi eugenics.” The “pronatalists” only want more of a very specific kind of person in this country. It gives the game away.

NY Tmes exec editor Joe Kahn said in 2024 that the issue of democracy's survival was not a top priority in his newsroom's coverage. Now Trump is sending federal agents to NYT reporters' homes to deliver subpoenas over coverage he doesn't like. I wonder if democracy is a priority for Joe now.

The power of disjunction (Apparently that’s how the question was asked) Growing number of youngsters think that „getting breakfast, sometimes feeling sad, being hungry, or having hallucinations“ is a sign of mental illness.

We could always solve this by running it in the Best Documentary category in the 2026 Oscars.

Baristas with piercings and tattoos. The vast majority of them are not, in fact, working their way through a lit PhD

I do think a big part of the “working class man” narrative IS that the working class doesn’t actually look like blue collar white men. It looks like immigrant nurse aids in nursing homes and bookkeepers like my grandma and every other area dominated by women, often women of color.

Modern people seeing a giraffe: Wow! What an unusual animal! Dinosaurs seeing modern creatures: What's with all these no-neck chuds?

My latest @ms.now, on ICE’s killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, and on the striking degree to which the media has refused to just accept ICE’s narrative of things. The extent to which the NYT, WaPo, et al keep stressing ICE has no evidence of its claims seems like a real narrative shift.

A regime whose army crumbled when it actually had to fight paras and marines rather then murder nuns and rape people.

we are scarily close to general artificial intelligence

Service fees. I suspect they’ve been secretly taken over by Live Nation.

Review at @skiffyandfanty.com blog: "This is one of the most grounded-feeling urban fantasies I’ve ever read, with deeply developed characters whose real-life issues marvelously intertwine with the magic in their lives, featuring a strongly positive theme of a supportive, inclusive community."

lying to them about how everything will be perfect and Medicare for All is a magic pony is going down the exact same road which led to discontent with the ACA, when it turned out that you couldn't really keep your plan if you liked it, because your plan was useless bullshit.

In the army I overheard a staff sergeant telling his squad that he'd been flown to North Korea over the weekend on an SR-71 Blackbird for a secret mission. He wasn't joking -- this was just the sort of stuff he said. He was also mellow and personable, frankly, the kind of guy you'd want to believe.

Here is my full 30 minute interview with the Republican frontrunner for Colorado Governor: youtu.be/KywOV9EkNFg?...

Just logged into a game and it asked for my birthdate, so I typed it in and then a WARNING came up saying "you have entered an age of 60+, are you sure?" and 60+ was in RED TYPE and fuck you, fuck you very much, game

It's stunning that Trump can do things like this without congress having to go on the record and each individual member giving it either a thumbs up or thumbs down. There are no checks and balances if two branches of government are collaborationist cowards.

Vance is more of an atheist than I am. I at least believe in right and wrong.

big surprise this guy is gonna wait to pull out until he's risking it being too late

I don't care if she texted "Come over and fuck me right now." She then wrote, "Don't come over!"

In the universe next door, the map did include Jewish neighborhoods and exactly the same people are outraged he’s equating Jews with foreigners.

The little ethnofascist's cheeks get so pink and adorable when he talks about genocide.

Scifi games and fiction: let's make this giant, difficult to armor machine that can't find any cover Army: is there a way I can make this tank even lower?

Billionaire ethno-fascists backing AI in the hopes that someone will take it back in time to WW2, have it plan the D-Day invasion, and ensure the thousand year Reich.

Let it not be lost how much of a disservice these guys did *Graham Platner,* the human being Especially if his whole "trying to be a better person" thing was ever, in any way sincere

Coupla old-timers at the liquor store reminiscing about memories of buying drugs from the current Premier Of Ontario in the park. Pretty wild this is just an open fact in this neighborhood while we all turn on our TVs and see another ad from him about how only he can keep Ontario safe and drug-free

Unironically, America needs a Honey Huan:

Ryan Grim is so good at confirming my priors about Ryan Grim.

Between this and the national guard in Memphis it’s kind of disturbing me (yes I know I’m a member of the media) the degree to which these killings aren’t really breaking thru rn

These sorts of lawsuits are so important. I can't imagine being a black or female officer with 6 or 8 years of service right now thinking about whether or not they want to continue and having to consider the real possibility that a future Hegseth will kill their career and pension at 18 years in.

Lol, Ohtani didn't make people wait for HR 300.

Though also it remains startlingly relevant that the main epic in the Western canon is about a massive war because dudes can't tolerate women choosing for themselves.
