Floating a theory that all Superman media can be mapped on a pair of axes labeled “Superman is/isn’t American,” and “and that’s good/bad.”

STOP playing music loud in bars, I am trying to DRINK and you are making NOISE that is LOUD

Cuba being the communist country that tries way too hard is low key one of the funnier recurring bits in international politics. Nicky K. got fed up with Castro trying to goad him into starting a nuclear war and had to walk Fidel through why America nuking Cuba repeatedly would be bad.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

this is almost certain to occur.

The worst idea bulk thing I ever saw in a grocery store was the big jug of red cap soju in SK

Does anyone know of an immigration attorney in Houston who they recommend? I have a friend of a friend in need and am reaching out to all my networks. Feel free to dm me

Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?

this reminds me that because my parents were so strict and anytime i was away from them other kids noticed i felt way more beholden to obeying rules than them, i developed a lifelong impression that still remains on some psychological level that most people *dislike morality* and admire misdeeds

theophite ended up in poster's Valhalla smh

i will go to my deathbed ashamed that i lived in an america were secret police grabbed citizens off the street

I'm starting to suspect that 20-30 year long bull markets in specific asset classes may occasionally lead to unworthy individuals becoming very wealthy and powerful.

The Plot to Enslave America. This slowdown in the labor market was precisely the outcome that the oligarchs who brought trump back into power were trying to engineer. The thing they hated about the Biden economy wasn't $50 burrito taxis, but 3% unemployment

Holy fuck they actually did it

Today’s Nazis aren’t even good at building rockets. No one’s gonna operation paperclip them for their posts and streams.

The same government that tried to throw a man in a hole for agg assault when he threw a sandwich at a stormtrooper, btw

I love that someone on here was like "it's not the agency so much as the people in it" and Bill Fucking Kristol is like "ABOLISH ICE" and if you can't get on Bills level well

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

Watching the video is not penance. It will in no way shrive you or absolve you of more effective action. It is a justification for said actions.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

The video shows an execution. And as we saw with George Floyd, there will be a tidal wave of creeps, bigots, and grifters telling you it doesn't. It's already started, I imagine. Don't let them.

Of all the competitive authoritarian developments of the past year I think the fall of CBS News is among the most chilling. That this can happen to easily and so quickly freaks me the fuck out.

"The Republican party is an outright enemy of democratic interests around the world" is an objectively true statement and something that I don't know if the current crop of Dem pols are gonna be able to fully embrace

No discussion of democracy. No discussion of elections. Plenty of talk by Trump about running the country and taking the oil. Let’s not forget to thank John Roberts for his role in immunizing this international criminal.

imagine being one of the people who’s spent the last twenty years patiently explaining that no, Iraq wasn’t a war about oil and was instead influenced by a whole bunch of ideological factors watching Donald Trump bomb Venezuela and yell “YEAH ITS ABOUT OIL WE WANT THEIR OIL”

I think the best argument against accelerationism is that nobody will ever blame the right wingers for doing what they do

To the extent that you agree with Project 2025 and the Trump administration that America is an ethnic heritage-based project, @washingtonpost.com is a pro-American paper. To the extent you see it as a creedal values-based project, the Bezos WaPo is an anti-American paper.

any democrat who hedges on this should be screamed at until they quit tbh and if they don't, they should lose their next primary

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

Most of the derangement about Mamdani is for the obvious reasons but part of it is also that a surprising amount of people were committed to the Cuomo rehabilitation project because they hated the idea that anything could have consequences for men of the right class.

Red Scare's trajectory from brocialism to outright explicit Trumpism is a really good reminder that a willingness to hate on the right people is not a substitute for having positions of merit.

i am still furious about how the entire elite media has been ramming trump's political commisar at CBS and all of her ideological fellow travellers down my throat as "centrists with some reasonable concerns, just like you."

this is the editor of Tablet literally retweeting a complaint about the racially subhuman and rootless cosmopolitans

sliding in right under the wire for dumbest fucking movie opinion I’ve read all year, congratulations

“Mr. President. This is a covert action finding. It means you cannot disclose the involvement of the United States in this activity to anyone or it will gravely harm US national security” A random used car salesman with a talk show at 7 am in the morning:

This is one of my favorite paintings, from any painter, ever. Not only is she crushing Mein Kampf, but the arc of her rivet gun's cable also evokes a serpent being crushed under her heel - even while the rivet gun herself is laid on her apron like Christ on the lap of the Virgin Mary.

I have to admit, I also always had kinda the wrong idea about Norman Rockwell until I saw the piece "Murder in Mississippi" as a teen in art history class

Evidently German employers will do anything to hire you.

He’s. He’d completely right though. Fuck Connecticut

i have very rapidly become incapable of thinking about anything that isn’t this video

“Why do people think Uncommitted was uncommitted when they said they were uncommitted to being uncommitted,” the greatest debate of intellectual titans in the history of Bluesk-“ *my guardian angel snatches my phone and impales it with her celestial lance for the good of all.*

Bluesky is the new place to go for high-level political discussions because half of the pundits, for lack of a better word, have credentials like "Guy who plays in a Portland post-punk band". "Professional video editor in San Diego". "Commodities trader in Nova Scotia". "Person named Sharon"
