i wonder if a sufficient number of viable democrats have it in them to effectively counter a narrative of "i am tanking the economy, firing everyone i can, and sending soldiers to push you around if i dont like the way you think, and also lee greenwood is the only music allowed"

"The consumers won't care if it's AI." Ah yes, horror fans -- y'know, the people who famously ask "Are the FX Practical?!" about literally every movie -- definitely won't care that you're feeding them prompt-generated slop. Good call there.

The world makes sense now, we're just in an offshoot of Goat Simulator

Shout out to this tracker because just when we thought all of Jay’s shit was the most pathetic shit we’d ever see on this website, the labeller literally named “for shame” got sad we don’t like Jonathan chait

Jack Posobiec is criticizing Weimar Republic Germany the right way. --Ezra Klein

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

no they're LITERALLY exaggerating this issue. there is absolutely no data backing up their claims. ffs just say that!!

Spoilers: Watched It Chapter 2 yesterday and... Oh boy there were sure some choices there.

This is how propaganda works. They slapped an image on this from Los Angeles in 1992 during Rodney King riots.

They didn’t stop being rapists just because Epstein “died” they’ve got new channels to get young girls I’m sure and it’s still happening and nobody is doing anything

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I am Jewish. Israel is a country where sexual assault and child murder are core tenets of the culture. This country should not exist. They act with such extremity because they know when you tell people what they actually do, it's so bad it registers as unbelievable.

Am I correct that the only Americans to get any benefit from the WH this year who isn’t in the Administration (or a relative) are Ghislaine Maxwell and the 1/6 insurrectionists?

It's OK to analogize today's state paramilitaries targeting scapegoated minorities and violently violating rights of both citizens and noncitizens to historical paramilitaries that targeted scapegoated minorities and violently violated rights of both citizens and noncitizens, even if not identical.

The problem is, once he's out of office again everyone's gonna be like "well, I'm glad that's over," instead of "WE NEED TO CHANGE EVERYTHING!!!"

"The fights for trans rights and Palestinians are over and we lost" is something I'm seeing over and over from cis white progressives. And I'm seeing variations of this popping up about racial justice, marriage equality, and disability rights too. Sorry, but fuck that.

Wow, so shocked that so many "comedians" who made their name shitting on vulnerable people and populations and giggling out slurs on podcasts would take House of Saud money that forbids them from joking about the House of Saud all while braying about the sacredness of Free Speech shocked shocked

You'd never know the NYT is supposed to be some sort of prestigious publication when they routine run headlines like the lowest clickbait website. Yes, the unhinged RW psycho who stalked and killed these girls is a murderer. Theyve been a rag for at least a decade, with no intent to change.

It's times like these I almost wish there was a hell so Netanyahu and the IDF monsters could fucking burn there. Pure unfettered fucking evil.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

the hand-wringing Atlantic articles that are gonna come out about how unfair the radical left is being by refusing to rehabilitate or work with any of these fucking nazis once their knees shit the bed and their kids won't call them back

nobody who ever had anything to do with ICE should be welcome back in any part of daily life once they leave

George Carlin would never have taken blood money to perform comedy for a Saudi Arabian tyrant.

Early on I thought she was doing some decent work, but was kind of meh because there's a lot of ppl who make a living on low risk/impact activism. There's no denying that's she's putting herself in harm's way trying to maximize a chance at helping Palestinians. My respect for her now is immense.

The thing I respect about Greta Thunberg is that she understands most people in the Western world don’t give a shit about atrocities until someone white is affected. So she’s doing what needs to be done to keep up the pressure. If more white folks followed that example, we’d all be fine.

Comedy is dead in 2025 in the sense that ludicrous amounts of money are funding washed up comics whose routine is just Not Doing This for the Bit rage punditry about not being allowed to be 'funny' anymore

Very funny seeing the disgruntled fans arguments that amount to "Nuh-uh," "Nice things only please," or "WHO DARES TO IMPUGN UPON A GIRL WHILE SHE IS BOSSING" She's milquetoast as it gets with top shelf level marketing. She's Mr. Beast in musician form. Its incredibly popular and utterly boring.

Being passionate about Taylor Swift is like being passionate about Bed, Bath & Beyond. There's nothing there. Just marketing and brand identity and hollow, acquisitive greed.

i just can’t get over ICE going into the streets of the city i live in, throwing gas at citizens, invading people who live here. this is state sponsored terrorism being enacted on americans

Most American Jews are antisemitic, according to right wing gentiles who are constantly employing anti semitic dogwhistles www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It's kind of wild seeing a politician actually manage to be fun with this instead of unbearably cringe. God I hope he wins.

Imagine you open a restaurant and any time a customer complains about finding metal shards or bleach or such in their food you're like "listen you can just go open a copy of this restaurant, I'm not even in the restaurant business, I sell kits to make restaurants"

I am just so fucking proud of her.

and scene

The reason a lot of white people can operate in the privilege of a comment like “we used to be able to have dissenting opinions & now they break friendships” is because the people of color in the room had to be silent in order to remain in the room safely.

i looked at the methodology for this and it is a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and b. p-hacked

How many times do I have to hit "not interested" and block every fan account for the boring ass white girl singer before I finally stop having that crap over my discover TL 😩 Don't even want to put her name because I'm terrified that'll just strengthen my broken algorithm

Blessing to @darrylayo.bsky.social for trying to preserve the sanctity of waffles while bad actors drag it's good name down with them 🧇

former spirtual advisor to jeffrey epstein's best friend donald trump

✡️🇵🇸 We never see Israel as a Jewish state. We stand with the Palestinian people and support the Palestine state. The day the State of Israel was founded is a dark day for the Jewish people and history. (Credit: Jewish Voice)

some people told dave chappelle his jokes weren’t funny and this ego maniac has been having a meltdown over it for ten years

First of all we already have an AI actress and have had one for years. Her name is Gal Gadot and the results have not been great

A woman who did good for decades and encouraged the expansion of our empathy beyond our species. We were lucky to have her. She changed many of us for the better.

Ohio’s new age verification law targeting porn goes into effect today, which means people will either have to use a VPN or submit their IDs to use Bluesky. This is Project 2025 in action. The goal is to limit freedom and make it harder to access anything remotely progressive

I'll put this marker down now: if we go into a shutdown and Dems actually hold the line and don't immediately cave, their poll numbers will go up 90% of the reason their numbers are so low with non-Rs is they've managed exactly zero concrete opposition so far

“I don’t know enough about the subject of Palestine” is not an excuse for not speaking up anymore. It is not. We’ve been flooded with information about Palestine for two years now. If you still don’t know, it’s because you don’t want to know. That makes you a coward in my book.

yeah this is the fundamental problem, you can make all the rules and checks and balances you want but if the people in charge of enforcing them completely abandon their duty to do so there’s not much you can do congress and the court have all the power they need to stop this but refuse to

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.
