I wrote about more music than ever this year at No Expectations, so I compiled what I think are the 100 Best Albums of 2025. If you don't recognize a lot of the names here, don't worry. That's the point. I hope you find something new to dig. www.noexpectations.fyi/p/the-100-be...

Yeah, @quigley.house.gov, you can take your texts begging for money and shove them straight up your ass.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes

it's ok to hate the weather where you live

fucking braindead moron shit. "voting with their feet" pretending there's a true freedom of choice, indepedent decision-making context and not a culture of instant demand and alienation that cultivates this.

not the point, I know, but it's funny that these guys look exactly the same

Oh, just on track for the lowest it’s ever been in the 21st Century… No big deal or anything, definitely wouldn’t want that in the headline or anything…

Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston. THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES. These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations. This Is Fascism.

Heck yeah, Jim! Year that highway down! How do you make the most of your time stuck in traffic? Here's what you told us. These Chicago highway expansionists need to read up on induced demand @lakebiglake.bsky.social

This is a genocidal campaign against trans people. We must defeat this by any means necessary.

New from me: The DOJ plans to dismantle protections for trans and intersex people in federal, state, and local prisons, jails, and youth detention facilities, according to a government memo obtained by Prism.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder. We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

slowly sucking in my gut while I pee so it looks like I'm deflating. all the other guys at the urinal trough hooting and hollering like I'm David Blaine. guy in the stall is trying to shit faster cuz he knows he's missing out on something but he's not sure what

I saw Paul at the UC on Monday, and while his performance was incredible and the experience was incomparable, the video projections were, indeed, almost entirely AI slop :(

I don’t know what to caption this, hi @alorakid.bsky.social, I drew you and Cole because Cole is based on How To Be Cool and I thought it’d look neat :]

This is incredible from North Carolina. I increasingly worry that the siege 'shock and awe' tour that Bovino/Noem are doing means this all loses traction in the news cycle -- we can't let this get lost...

it's wild that trump is arguably the worst president in history (and I think on track to be the definitive worst) and completely independent of that he is also the member of an elite pedophile ring

The national security concern is that the president is a fucking pedophile

every day further proof that all conservatives are pedophiles and most leftists are puritans :/

just imagining waiting a year to publicly drop an atomic warhead on an ex but being like “gotta get that big bamboo metaphor up in there”

ok but Ryan's writing is almost just as bad

For real, y'all. You don't have to hate-read things. You don't have to hate-watch, hate-follow, any of those. There are so many things in daily life that is going to make you angry, if you're paying any attention at all. Why seek out more of them?

I think the best case for this is that "the South" no longer has a distinct political culture, with urban regions of the South being largely similar to suburb-heavy northern metros and rural areas of the North largely being Dixiefied

math textbook covers for some reason:

MTG face turn is just her accepting that she's not conventionally attractive enough to climb any higher in Trump 2

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
