we’re looking up money laundering in a dictionary

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

The Epstein files are clearly more damning than we assumed, which is saying something.

Watching the DNC is like watching a horror movie where the villian is right behind the cast members, and they ignore it, and also they can hear you screaming warnings from the audience at them, and they find it irritating.

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

As of this morning, it is imperative that the Democratic caucus in the senate remove Schumer as Minority Leader, Durbin as minority whip and Cortez Masto as Vice Chair of Outreach. Replace them today with Van Hollen, Murphy and Merkley. Or anyone else who actually knows how to lead and discipline.

the real move if you want to be the presidential nominee in 2028 is to come out and say who did the vote swapping, air the dirty laundry, and say “our voters deserve better” imo. position yourself as the champion of the dem base against the crooked leadership they hate

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Heya, @oliveklug.bsky.social, big fan of your music, and it's great to have you here. Welcome!

Due to the shutdown, Yellowstone National Park doesn’t have enough employees to maintain the holographic sky. Visitors are catching glimpses of the metal ceiling

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

I know it's not the most important part of the Kimmel thing - that would be the right-wing attack on the First Amendment - but I hope Lou Wilson is okay.

I prefer this

it does seem weird to declare war on people and then demand they mourn your dead

April – 1805 Napoleon is master of Europe Only the British fleet stands before him Cheesecakes are now oceans

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

My magnum opus…..

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

@thisone0verhere.bsky.social Hey, Winterset Hollow was fucking great. I'm camping right now, so I lay on a blanket out on a grassy Island and devoured it in about 12 hours. It made me think about how Christopher Milne resented his father's books about a perfect childhood he never had.

its actually good james dobson is dead. he was an evil man who promoted child abuse. repeal43.org/docs/Dobson%...

🧵🧵🧵 In this thread, I lay out more than a dozen facts about Trump and his child-molester friends Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. I challenge you to read the whole thread and then decide what the odds are that Trump did not abuse girls or tolerate his pals Epstein and Maxwell doing so.

"I Hope That Something Better Comes Along" is a musical number from The Muppet Movie (1979), wherein Jim Henson sings a duet with himself as his two primary Muppet characters sit together in a hotel bar and wish that someone would hurry up and invent some gay furries or something.

They should make cops wear clip-on ties and stupid hats again. Letting a generation of failed high school athletes play dress-up as delta force operators to direct traffic for $160K a year isn't the whole problem, but it feels like a part of the problem.

Sad to see Brennan go. The end of an era. I look forward to following his new career, though.

microplastics are going to kill me? ma’am I just ate three hot dogs for lunch, there will simply not be enough time.

I just think that it's fucking disgusting how Oklahoma City elected a conservative Christian white man as mayor, despite the bombing in '95. It's like they've learned nothing.

I am so used to the candidate I prefer getting crushed I barely know how to react here.

I've just learned that the first appearance of the "ultimate villain" of the DC Universe, Darkseid, was in the pages of a 1970 issue of "Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen." Comic books are weird, man. Don't know what to tell you.

I hope everyone who farmed clicks by arguing that trump was anti war in some sense is proud of themselves

You Gov numbers: "Only 16% of Americans think the U.S. military should get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran; 60% say it should not and 24% are not sure" It's going to change quickly, but let's at least remember where we started. today.yougov.com/politics/art...

at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

We need to start referring to politicians who oppose environmental regulations as, "Objectively Pro-Serial Killer," and I'm not kidding.

i am not particularly nihilistic or extreme, but elite impunity increasingly has me ready to spit on my hands, hoist the black flag, and start slitting throats, because *so many* of our problems are downstream from it

I'm sorry I'm not done yelling about how fucking violent and cruel this policy is-- I just went by an encampment that was being swept to drop off donation and it was fucking crushing. Venmo @love-and-justice to pitch in for all our unhousend neighbors who have NOWHERE TO GO now.

i remember white south africans being stupid and evil but maybe that’s just the mandela effect

Hey, who wants something nice? So I was on tour this month, and when I was doing my event for the Princeton University Library and the Princeton Public Library, I ended up at the graveyard, where I found this gravestone:

A healthy line outside @zeppelincomics.bsky.social for Free Comic Book Day!

This is straight up nazi shit. The nazis published propaganda on Jewish crime. If this were blackcrimeuk or immigrantcrimeuk everyone would see it for the bigoted shit that it is.
