bill burr is doing what they hoped this event would achieve by spreading the word look how fine and normal this place is for a rich straight white man willing to accept money on the simple condition that he just be very careful to not joke about any of the wrong people or he'll die in foreign prison

Nonbinary people are nonbinary and they're trans if they say they are. Stop with the oppression Olympics and gatekeeping. I love ALL the members of our trans community, including enbies.

That was 13 years ago, nothing’s changed

Just think of those poor Nazi soldiers deep in the trenches trying to protect us from the horrors of Chicago and Portland

Wait the government only now shut down? Jokes aside - I’m actually shocked (happily so) that the Dems actually showed some spine - for trans people no less! Color me actually happily surprised.

Wild that EA managed to find a buyer who cares about video game workers even less than EA.

Fuckin yikes, man

I don’t know if these old guard Democrats can’t look at the road we’re on or won’t look at it, but either way they shouldn’t be at the wheel.

I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

the president promised to give us all magic beds that will solve all our problems and we just pretend it didnt happen like when an athlete is caught saying “fuck” on a live broadcast

Conservatives are the ones that want free things. They want to pay no taxes but drive on roads, have school busses pick their kids up & teach them, food to be safe, etc. They want to pay no wages but have fast food, retail, janitors, etc. *Every* accusation is a confession.

I have a question! I do the cooking in our house, and Mercy has asked me to make her okra sides. Okra is way outside my Ashkenazi Jewish cooking wheelhouse lol. So does anyone have okra recipes they feel comfortable sharing? So far I've done sautéed and fried but the fried...didn't work. Thank you!

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

EA will never get another dime from me. Ever. They’re about to become a massive propaganda and social conditioning tool for the alt-right and foreign interests. mashable.com/article/elec...

I feel as though not enough is being made of a president who wants to send troops into a state because he saw old clips of something on TV, thought it was happening IRL, and then said he was confused about it.

I think more people enjoy complex women protagonists in video games than a few divorced YouTubers would have you believe

good lord, dick durbin wants democrats to give up their only remaining leverage this year for an *informal commitment* from republicans. www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

for those who don’t remember, democrats already did this EARLIER THIS YEAR. they gave up their only real leverage for nothing. it was a predictable and resounding failure. party leadership has to go. NOW.

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log. This tells me two things: 1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day. (212) 486-4430

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

Like I think large numbers of us very reasonably suspected that the president is extremely detached from reality, but receiving confirmation that shit is happening because Stephen Miller is playing him Mad Max movies and claiming it's Portland just doesn't feel good.

the perfect american president would be an extracted rat brain in a jar hooked up to 4mb of RAM and no long-term storage, capable only of articulating a single priority programmed directly by whichever lobbyist has most-recently paid for a turn at the console. and we are so close to perfection

you don’t actually have to hand it to the guy who is leaving the office in disgrace and polling in the single digits as an incumbent

'out of the three mass shootings today'

I have been haunted by this statement all day www.kgw.com/article/news...

perfect encapsulation of what the far right is doing, they want to push the overton window as far as possible. they want to enact fascism and it’s intentional

No need for precedent when you just decide your cases based on the highest bidder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

But he can’t endorse his own party’s nominee.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Conservatives will try to point out where evil or sins originated in western society & think it's women, queer people, PoC or atheists etc and they're as always wrong No, it's this. It's a system that creates both people desperate enough to do this & rewards people rich enough to waste like this

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

He's gonna vote for the spending bill but he's going to be SO SAD ABOUT IT YOU GUYS

When you give yourself a Department of War, soon enough you are going to find a war to fight.

Geralt died

So he either knew there was child trafficking and rape being done by the world's most powerful people to hundreds of kids and did absolutely nothing about it or tell anyone. Or he's lying

Once again, the moderate position is for ICE to be abolished and Border Patrol to be gutted, and massive civil rights prosecutions leading to prison time. Anybody running on anything less is kicking the can down the road.

Fleeing immoderately from suspicion of involvement, Musk crosses over to implying he knew enough of what was up on that island to “REFUSE” but told no one and did nothing to protect the victims.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

Well then. If the Congressional Democrats had any spine to speak of, they'd simply fold their hands in the face of the looming government shutdown and say "What do you need us for? The president sets the budget now, apparently."

In the State Department’s original tweet, they tagged the wrong Gustavo Petro. Imagine being a random guy from Brazil and waking up to learn you’ve been visa banned from the US

They literally are mad at him because he said "Don't point your guns at people." The United States is a nazi shithole.

The Centrists are swooping in to save Democrats from growing a spine.
