all I wanted was something on in the background but then all of a sudden Anthony Bourdain was eating bun cha in Hanoi with Barack Obama asking on behalf of his daughter if everything was gonna be alright and now I’m broken

The reason Moby Dick is the most American novel ever written is because it is about a violent white man enacting a confusing revenge fantasy against a cheap source of oil.

What could go wrong

“Why do we categorize traditions derived from West African practices built on liberation, protection, and survival as demonic while other traditions—like astrology or many meditation practices—get to be “spiritual”?”

maybe so many rightwing Cuban-Americans are groovy with the US starving that country to death because lots of the Cubans still on the island are Black and whiteness isn’t English-only or is it more than maybe?

… Speaker Johnson now also with the ‘Bibi made him do it’ line

Something I'm always thinking: what sort of music do tinies make? What sort of music do giants make? Obviously, both have a whole spectrum of sounds and idioms, there's not just one sound for either.

I’m not saying it matters, but Heather Cox Richardson is basically Lisa Simpson and this is why we love her. Also, Heather Cox Richardson likes Nelson.

“Well, sir, you’re chairman of the FCC, so FCC you. Because I think you are motivated by partisan purposes yourself. Sir, ya smelt it ’cause ya dealt it. You are Dutch-ovening America’s airwaves.” — STEPHEN COLBERT 🎁 article 👇🏼

I understand that DHS has a subpoena list of hundreds of names they've provided to social media companies. 1/3

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding? Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

”This is a world of compensations; and he who would *be* no slave, must consent to *have* no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.”

I've become a fan of the term "crybullies"

please be sure to use the correct terminology for government troops: when they go after heavily armed white men in compounds they’re jack-booted thugs when they go after people of color or women on the streets they’re smol beans

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

I've been online all day long and NOBODY has said a word about this. TRUMP HIMSELF ordered the flag to be removed. Dear God, can't this inbred motherfucker go away?

Every time RFK Jr mentions "science" he botches his claims to uphold any evidentiary standards, let alone "gold standards." The claim that Keto diets cure schizophrenia is based on a case report of one man, on medication, who followed a keto diet to lose weight, & reported fewer hallucinations...

He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face

I just want to call this line from petitioner's counsel out specifically: "We shouldn't need a specific court order to ask the DOJ not to put somebody's life in danger." Bars.

You know how in 2024 there were all those Cletus safaris to talk to normal American families who buy like 26 gallons of milk every week? When are all the news orgs going to talk to people who have had their LIHEAP cut, who can’t afford heat or a/c, and businesses affected by rising energy costs?

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

In authoritarian politics, culture is not a prelude to coercion but its companion. While power is enforced through pressure and intimidation, art and public institutions are refashioned to legitimize that power. Both processes reinforce each other. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

mark my words. he will demolish it; because he is a toddler who can’t stand that it exists as greater than him and because he has had all the artists cancel performances there bc of him. gift link: wapo.st/4a3L10Z

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Bouie: they are sending ICE agents to Springfield, to round up Haitians who are legal immigrants. They remove their temporary protected status and they’re sending ICE agents to round them up. That is ethnic cleansing. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/o...

So if I’m understanding this sequence correctly, from Thanksgiving to Christmas 2012, Elon Musk was essentially pestering registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to throw him a wild party on the island.

If I were the liberal equivalent of Alex Jones I’d spend months discussing how Trumps immediate statement after the attack on Ilan Omar was to discuss how someone might fake an assassination attempt to elicit sympathy.

#ICE agents blocked from entering Ecuadorian #consulate in #Minneapolis, ministry says.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"
