I just want people to know that there is no active insurrection, no regular protests, no rioting or whatever. The only time people are in the streets is when masked armed ICE thugs descend on one of our neighbors to disappear them as part of a federal government-led ethnic cleansing campaign.

Oh my god. The good people at @defector.com are running a sale to test Nick Kaman's theory... "A monthly Reader subscription to Defector costs $8, which Kaman et al claim is spiritually $5. Well, until midnight tonight, you can try a month for just five real-world dollars..."

I can't believe J.D. Vance went on TV and said "Ich bin Evil! Ich bin Evil!!! Ich bin der Evil kleine Chocolate Boy!!" with chocolate smeared all over his mouth and lederhosen. But he did. And we all saw it

pretty good website in my opinion defector.com

This unsettling blog from @christhompson.bsky.social had me thinking: Would editors at the NYT or WaPo also sit on leaks about a planned attack on, say, Greenland, to protect US military members while they killed Danish citizens?

I was there when Homeland Security was created and that is NOT the point of homeland security

American conservatives will look you right in the eye with a straight face and tell you that complete and utter subservience to masked federal police is patriotism, anything else deserves being executed in the street, and tax dollars for healthcare is tyranny.

very funny to me that there has been exactly one NFL coach in my lifetime who looked like a guy I could conceivably be friends with and I hate him roughly as much as I hate Mussolini

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

sustaining a thought more complicated than "do we have any bread" for more than a few minutes at a time while being the parent of a four-year-old is the hardest possible thing that a human can attempt

"The world's richest man, a well-documented drug addict who is a Nazi and a major support and adviser of the President of the United States of America, has created a website that produces CSAM on demand at scale while he demands ethnic cleansing worldwide"

One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.

Incredible lol

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: i got easily tricked by a moron and it took me years to realize it THE MEDIA: wow! may we hear your insights??

I think one of the defining things about our era and about conservativism, is an inability to distinguish between like, the actual government, and mid-level marketing managers at Target (who choose "happy holidays" to avoid leaving out non-Christian customers)

one way you can make good on promises of infinite progress is by explaining how things getting worse is a necessary component of said progress.

christ, that was this year??

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

An editor who thinks novelty is having a town hall with Alan Dershowitz, or publishing the thousandth anti-woke story, doesn’t think having first hand testimony of migrants suffering abuse because of US decisions is newsworthy.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

who calls the shots where you get your news? defector.com/products

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

speaking from long personal experience: Black and Tan Coonhounds are the sweetest dogs on the planet

When your “exclusive” lasts all of 7 hours, because you publicly named a guy who was never charged with a crime, and who now is being hounded by trolls, and will have this show up in internet searches for the rest of his life.

Couldn’t Sam Altman just ask ChatGPT how to make itself profitable

I think "financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion" might be the worst thing I've ever read the competition is strong but it's a real contender

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

this is a great damn blog www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all
