i'd be a bit annoyed if I heard that there was a Hamas SuperLair under a hospital which required bombing the hospital and then later I found out there was no SuperLair at all. Has one prominent person written a "shit, that wasn't nice, lying about the hospital SuperLair" piece?

This still only counts as one loss, and they can still even avoid going back to Toronto, but if I'm a Mariners fan this game is making me sick to my stomach about what might be upcoming.

The question really must be put to everyone: if fascists are able to take power, if all media, all education institutions, and all corporations will collaborate with it, then do we have anything resembling a society worth preserving? Are the ways we relate to each other and how we survive adequate?

Say what you will about Pets.com ads, they still offered a website where you could buy pet food

On the topic of morality, I think what may account for a lot of the "young conservatives weren't always this bad" discourse is that in the past, those people often acted as if they were in the moral right and now they've entirely given up that pretense and indeed revel in doing deliberate evil.

Assuming we survive the current moment, liberals will absolutely tell us that using governmental power to punish Trump and his enablers would make us "as bad as he is" and it's important to remember that that's only true if you don't think morality actually exists

Does it make me even older to be like "This is a nearly impossible choice" but I'll go with "Closing Time"

What percentage of people insisting that Bush-era young conservatives weren't as bad as the current ones either were Bush-era young conservatives or had a bunch of friends who were

i refuse to accept both as a factual matter and a political point that republican staffers were historically any less openly racist in private conversations. strom thurmond was some of their boss! pat buchanan was on msnbc! thinking their underlings were LESS comfortable talking like that is naive!

That’s weird. I wonder how that got there

One of the recurrent themes in Greta's testimony is soldiers stripping and photographing her, sexual humiliation being an out in the open policy of the IDF for years, particularly since Oct 7th. Israel torturing and sexially assaulting a bunch of foreigners should be the biggest story in the world.

BREAKING: corporation unable to force unwanted product on populace, panic grips markets

You know it’s ALMOST like when Republicans pretended to be very concerned about “antisemitism on college campuses” bc students were protesting Israel doing genocide, that was bad faith and they have no problem with the most blatant antisemitism as long as it’s from their camp. Weird, I know.

very annoying that we had to endure about a month of these people going “calling us nazis hurts our feelings” to then immediately be revealed saying nazi shit and going “yup, we want gas chambers. so what libs”

If I have to see another post on here claiming there used to be good republicans and they got replaced by the baddies I’m going to fucking scream. The Southern Strategy was in the 1960s. Lee Atwater was giving speeches to these “nice people” where he just shouted the n word in the 70s

Right, none of us have ever criticized RFK. Great post.

Meanwhile, if you've even so much as typed the hashtag "#FreePalestine," you are automatically disqualified from being a staffer for most Democratic elected officials

Of course young Republicans are always the worst, by the way. Do you know how racist you have to be to be conservative when you aren’t even doing your own taxes?

Ah, I see why she’s doing this now. She has to pretend it was totally different when she was a part of it. Well it’s true that the kids are more openly nazi now, but they were always racist and transphobic and antisemitic. Did you really never hear one of them say “faggot,” Amanda? Really?

The Republican Party completely locked down the South in the wake of the Civil Rights Era and people are really out here like “but were Republicans always this nakedly racist?”

You are out of your mind if you think young republicans in the early aughts weren’t bigots. They were saying the n-word all the time, too, they just didn’t have group chats to get leaked.

“I hear you’re a racist now, Father!”

There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

Sam Altman went from “AI will cure cancer" to "ChatGPT porn" in less than a month

“I object to seeing brown people on my street but I will give up this view if graduate requirements are shortened from two years to 18 months” give me a fucking break.

This really amounts to taxation w/o representation, and I seem to recall we actually went to war over this once upon a time.

Is it possible to sell negative copies of a book

If you're submitting identifying information to get yourself verified to let ChatGPT write porno for you, you absolutely deserve the inevitable data leak that reveals to everyone in the world that you did that

I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually. The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a “someone is being mean to hecking doggos” cause.

Does it count if it was just my mom

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

If your first thought as a reporter when racing to the scene where an invading fed paramilitary of murderous freaks are blanketing yet another neighborhood in chemical weapons after kidnapping people is to count how many objects are thrown at them, just quit. Just quit

The idea that the agency that posts Nazi propaganda on main every single day DIDN’T just make up a “report” about Mexican cartels offering bounties on ICE agents out of whole cloth is so ludicrous it’s barely worth addressing but mainstream media loves to be stenos for fascism so I guess we gotta

The boring and obvious take that anti-woke positions have the effect (and in many cases the intent) of making it acceptable in polite circles to be a degenerate racist was and remains correct.

if pep boys said that now the pep boys could call you up and talk sexy to you you wouldn't think that pep boys was doing really well, as a company

Anyone who wants this shit has the mind of an absolute infant

new theory of why everyone is so stupid just dropped

this is, flatly and subjectively, intolerable to anyone who fancies themselves free people. simply intolerable

Newsom seems remarkably unconcerned with things most Democrats want for someone who ostensibly wants to be the next Democratic presidential candidate. Do you think he literally believes he can get there just by trolling Trump on social media?

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

What kills me is how often it’s for the WORST shit. Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow plugging “Royal Match.” Harrelson and McConaughey for some Salesforce AI bullshit. It’s like the Riyadh Comedy Festival where the world’s most evil person wrote a number down and their eyes bulged like a Tex Avery wolf

Every drug ad being like “don’t take this drug if you’re allergic to it” sounds stupid but why do I suspect it’s also a cynical attempt to dodge legal action if someone dies from an allergic reaction after taking a drug they could not reasonably have known they were allergic to in advance

As much as it pains me, you have to credit the Brewers for situational awareness the Dodgers did not have (although to be fair it’s a lot easier/less risky to tag a base “just in case” than to run to a base “just in case” when the latter might lead to you being out)

One of the all time craziest double plays

Eddings now calling this strike zone like he’s got dinner reservations

Saw multiple people say "the Free Palestine crowd is awfully quiet now that Palestine has been freed," it must rock to be that stupid
