they're getting on this website because they're running out of gas and understand that the juiciest segment of libs now exist on a platform that isn't owned by one of their oligarch allies. when faced with increasing uncertainty of their own power, all they understand is theatrics and the spectacle.

People have a hard time accepting what's happening right in front of their eyes.

Kind of ironic that they go “do you have your ID on you?” and the ICE guy is like are you fucking serious I guess this is communism USSR like lol who do you work for brother

saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever

I just gotta stretch as often and exaggerated as a kitty cat does

you don’t take that from a man, that’s evil

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

AOC has just officially become the top House fundraiser, beating out Hakeem Jeffries. Now lemme take a big sip of coffee as I look at the age distribution of donors to AOC vs Jeffries

past-itch book two has arrived!!!! a pair of haunting tales from @merrittk.com @shaydh.bsky.social get yours at www.pastitch.com !!!

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?” @aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

lol this is the shit i was talking about on sora. someone made a really antisemitic edit of a marc cuban cameo and someone was getting jake paul to say “i hate snickers” repeatedly fast enough for it to sound like the slur. those are people who have OPTED IN to letting people use their faces in slop

it is sooooo important that we prop up and support the corporate real estate market and say fuck the workers!!!!!!!

OK the wife quote is absolutely NOT the best part of the Cybertruck article

Here’s the thing: this place has a ton of problems and the team running it is actively hostile to solving them, but the goddamn Boer doesn’t show up and make your lives miserable every few weeks, doesn’t that seem nice

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

important note from libcrusher:

*about to completely botch explaining the Gorillaz* okay so have you seen Space Jam?

The strength of libertarianism is you never run out of other people’s money

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free. When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

Republicans love creating fake problems where there are none. that's like their whole thing

The freedom of speech lovers are at it again

yesterday on twitter, some of the biggest far right doxxing users were suspended and then elon musk caught wind, and reinstated them. get everyone you can off twitter. it is firmly a pro-doxxing-if-you’re-far-right platform

these people know how extreme they are

Ta Nehisi Coates went to a country that imposed a military dictatorship onto five million people on the arbitrary basis of race and came away thinking that that's bad and some people are still angry with him because of that

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018. bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats

socialism is virtuous, and it's popular, the capitalists have devoted decades of propaganda and trillions of dollars in all kinds of sabotage to ensure that no one brings about peace and prosperity

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

Fascinated how the guy who made superstars of Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson, and Michael Knowles thought that unfettered racism and every phobia in existence wouldn't eventually include anti-semitism

Everyone collectively dreaming, in their own ways, of a life that's not 90% scams and violence.

Because TikTok is an incredible place, every time we open the app now, we are shown that fake video of a reporter being arrested. Simultaneously, a bunch of commenters are convinced our video of state troopers in Broadview from yesterday evening is AI. Perfect, no notes

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States. Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

im alive as like a favor

father that's not very poggers of you

imagining Democrats coming out and issuing a statement that protesting in inflatable animal costumes needs to stop

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

as we say in the Slot Machiners club.... if you're spinnin' you're winnin'

love your work mrs theranos but how do you walk into this

Made this short animation yesterday. It's spooky season, baby.
