New Muppet Show yet again confirms the unassailability of the “puppets scrambling to put on a little show” format

This is excellent & draws out something the rest of the media is ignoring: among other things, the Epstein files have made it super, super clear that the entire "anti-woke" cultural hysteria was engineered by powerful men averse to accountability.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

you give me and the fellas 24 ice cold high life bottles and we’ll come up with 8-12 new must see Winter Olympics sports, I know that

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

She votes with Trump all the time and just said that the proposed ICE reforms were ridiculous so what exactly is her empathy doing in terms of helping anyone besides herself?

Console Archives unironically the hypest thing in that Direct

Ah yes! The signature Schumer move: the pre-emptive power collapse! "Well, one or two concentration camps would be understandable, really. We're open to negotiation. Okay, three or four."

commercials used to be like "Envision a world where a kid can have Lunch. No teachers" . now theyre like "Please buy the 2025 nissan altima"

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed." A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends. Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

The thing about all these men is they could date anybody. They're rich, they're famous. They could bag socialites or models or actresses or whoever. Instead they single out the most vulnerable women and girls they can find. They cannot form relationships with women who are their peers.

the problem being faced by the court is that it is fundamentally political and therefore cannot escape the stink of our modern politics regardless of how it maneuvers or postures itself

In honor of Groundhog Day let us celebrate when the Mayor of New York was the fun kind of embarrassing

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

Hard to suss, as always, how much of this is a conspiracy and how much is just horrible people all believing the same horrible things.

The pure cruelty of putting a five year old through all this for absolutely no benefit to anyone or anything

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

honestly one of the most insane things i’ve ever seen. i cannot believe this. i feel insane seeing this and it being real. everything is unreal

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Smartest man in the game and he's telling you the press are cowards. Telling you someday everyone is gonna find out

Developing a hypothesis based on each new Epstein revelation I see on the tl

This round of epstein files just seem to be revealing that the perpetrators for all our problems are old pedophiles

The same DOJ that backed Bovino is also attacking universities around claims of anti-semitism, but this is the type of shit that would get you quickly punished at a university.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

Elon Musk last year: "Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED" Musk to Epstein emails: • “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” • "I really want to hit the party scene" • "Is there a good time to visit? Story: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

You're telling me that famous guy who built a csam bot and everyone decided to stay on the platform/app anyways is now in the epstein files? Surely this will make people stop using his platform/app

Let's keep funding the government because he's gonna do even worse shit now because nothing happened to anyone after the killing of Good and Pretti and now he's saying everyone liked it. Surely not ominous

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

I keep coming back to this clip as a symbol of the Democratic Party’s challenges. Murphy correctly says ICE “is not about safety or immigration, but a pretext for Trump to take over.” Given this fact, Democratic leadership’s reform and fund plan makes no sense.

right now we have the worst of all worlds, where copyright lasts basically forever and can be used to prevent normal people from engaging in all kinds of creative endeavors...but corporations can steal all your stuff without paying for it and use it to compete with you and put you out of a job.

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island). The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

Again, talking about ordinary government processes as if we're not living through a major political crisis creates the illusion of normalcy. It's counterproductive. We have a lawless, illegitimate president and we have to confront that fact, loud and often

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

the pony was “stop funding a genocide”

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

If we had had a solidly liberal Supreme Court for more than a decade or so out of >200 years it seems quite plausible this might have happened.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

digging thru old pics, quite fond of the ponderer..

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

I'll say yet again: Trump & his party do something virtually every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist.

Shit like this is why it’s been fuck AI from day one. Always where it was heading.
