Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

O’Hara was incredible forever, on SCTV, the Christopher Guest movies, Beetlejuice, Home Alone, etc. But she didn’t become as famous as her talent warranted until her 60s. Suddenly it was like everyone caught up to her, and she could’ve worked forever. To have her taken away at this moment? No.

Everybody who perpetrated this while covering it up should be in the Hague www.reuters.com/world/early-...

Many people are asking "why don't other politicians do this" and the answer is BECAUSE they don't want you to understand this shit and they want you to just trust they know what they're doing when they're secretly fuck you over. Look at the funding bill!

“following a brief illness” sounds like it was COVID. RIP

I know it’s been said a million times but it’s pretty funny how many short king steroid comedians with corny ass manchild tattoos called themselves free speech warriors right up until the moment free speech was actually under attack.

i once bought a new blazer for a schitts creek panel, and when i walked into the green room, catherine o'hara complimented me on it, and also noted that i had forgotten to cut all the threads off the vents. and then she leaned in and said, "it's because you're going to return it, isn't it"

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.

Macaulay Culkin on Instagram. 😢

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

this too was the 39% of Filipinos that voted for Duterte, just replace immigrants with drug addicts

by popular request i have turned the meme into a blog post, which explains how it works, links to the template file and includes a selection of examples from the thread #KirbyFraming

new flavor of incel just dropped

i continue to ask what people are still doing on the fascist white supremacy platform that generates child pornography

I say used to be because it's kind of not anymore - not since Covid. And it's because people have to commute further and further out. like it's one thing to have a restaurant close at midnight if your servers have a 20 min commute, it's different if their commute is 90 minutes on rerouted trains

One of the reasons why nyc used to be a 24/7 city is because people lived here. During superstorm sandy my bodega and local bar stayed open because the bodega lived above the bodega and the bartender lived around the corner.

Well

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom: "If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

Can't emphasise enough how futile this approach to politics is. If you run for office, YOU are the one with the power to construct a coalition that wins your election, no-one else. Nothing is more futile than complaining later at the people YOU chose not to build into your coalition.

what normie liberals need to understand is that 2024 was a rejection of lesser evilism, and their continued support of a lesser evil will result in more of what we're now seeing. what aspiring d politicians need to understand is we aren't doing lesser evil anymore, so you're gonna have to get good

what's needed is for folks like you to direct this anger at thise in a position to do something, but refuse to. if you want to resist the reich you're gonna need to stop running interference for vichy france

reach out how? meet them how? did Kamala ever change her policy on Palestine? no. did Kamala change her policy on trans rights? no. the record is clear. there was no reaching out, bc she was steadfast in her support of Israel’s genocide, and she was steadfast in her abandonment of trans people.

apropos of nothing, “we want ice out of the winter olympics” is a hilarious string of words.

A white guy threw a homemade bomb into a crowd protesting colonialism in Australia and the media have broadly reframed it in more gentle terms, eg this describing it as a "device" that was 'designed to explode'.

reminder that the west invented passports to control the movement of black/brown people into western countries after plundering their homes for centuries.

since we’re talking about something trivial in the grand scope of things, wouldn’t it be nice if the big corporation that owns those space stories stop selling toys and costumes glorifying space fascism? just a thought.

If you’re looking for the courts to intervene you should look at the history of court rulings about violations leading up to the election. It’s always too late to do anything for THAT election. So many acts will be found to be illegal but only after it’s too late.

Can’t help but notice a lot of social media reports of Tik Tok censoring anti-ICE content in its first weekend under Trump-directed US management, and no mainstream news coverage thus far.

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I would love to know how many people who were convicted for January 6 are now member ICE

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

it’s remarkable how the US is basically reenacting the poem “First They Came” in real time. First they came for the undocumented immigrants then the legal residents then the brown citizens then the lesbians now the straight white man exercising his 2nd amendment rights

as an EDSA baby whats happening in minnesota right now sounds like what Martial Law era Philippines was like, except accelerated and with more documentation, but still not as much as there should be

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

the greatest trick capitalism pulled is convincing the world commerce is capitalism

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

Delroy Lindo is British??

the reason the elite are so desperate to vilify hard-working people coming to this country to build a better life for their families, unleashing wave after wave of gutter racism in the process, is to distract from the fact that their incestuous degeneracy causes most of our actual problems

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

Seconding this. Geocities was so popular that they couldn't keep up with demand at first. LiveJournal had to close off applications for a year because folks overwhelmed them Something Awful had to start charging for forum access to deal with the load. And so on.
