"bring Britain into line with other countries such as the United Arab Emirates" Well it's good to have goals

RIP David Foster Wallace you would have loved it

WHAAAAT IS HAPPENING

But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Tiktoker alone.

This has been brewing for more than a decade tbh, the F-35 program has been this conservative boogeyman of waste and inefficiency for so long that Republicans memed themselves into it being actively bad.

Holy shit. The administration might be evacuating the ICE facility we've been protesting for weeks. If this ends up happening, it's a huge deal. Protests matter. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ev...

The thing about journalists and pundits is that "attracting rich patrons" IS "making money". The Intercept? Funded by Omidyar. ThinkProgress? An arm of CAP, funded by Gates, Soros, etc. For Lee Fang, fundraising is normal and fundraising as well as Kirk did is admirable.

Bearing your cross is a lot easier with wheels.

A bit underplayed that the Homan sting didn't reportedly come out of a public corruption investigation, it was a counter-intelligence one. Which means they somehow made the not-very-far leap to him from initially targeting a foreign and almost certainly state actor.

Buried details: the 18% of kids whose identities shifted over the course of the study were overwhelmingly between binary trans and non-binary or vice versa. The number who shifted between binary cis and trans was very low indeed - out of a subset of 254, precisely *one* kid shifted in this way.

Left wing hero Bill Maher has stepped in it once again

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

So um. This is what's been up with me for the last year. I hate hate hate asking but very much appreciate your support. www.gofundme.com/f/fund-me-if...

I regret to inform everyone that a lot of Men Who Have Verifiably Had Sex, as well as many Verifiable Havers Of Vaginas hold this same dumb opinion

…if you want to see the Republicans in DC abandon Trump you have to make his polling collapse. Which means that people who used to support him have to prefer the alternative. Telling those folks that they deserved what they’re getting just reinforces Trump’s narrative that we are two Americas…

Trump and Vance’s contradictory messages on these killings: 1: Our glorious military carried out hyper-precise attacks on dastardly drug smugglers. 2: If you’re an innocent fisherman, watch out because we might kill you by mistake!

How many Trump officials (current and former) have now called him Hitler?

Does she know...?

College "financial aid"

If I was going to make the case against running big tent candiates (eg pro life Dems) it would be that this simply doesn't matter much because politics have become so nationalized and that it's better to build infrastructure that will pay dividends in future cycles (Stacey Abrams theory, basically)

On the contrary

This leads, of course, to an interesting alternative theory of why Ezra Klein was so defensive of Charlie Kirk

I solved the Sunday 9/21/2025 New York Times Daily Crossword in 13:38! www.nytimes.com/crosswords/g...

yeah I think this is a good metaphor for the tension between people who do longer term activism and the more normie types who join in moments of unrest and momentum like the present. warriors who regard the conflict as a part of their identity, vs. soldiers who want to win and fucking go home.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation — known in Australia as ABC — has received hundreds of complaints about the cancelation of Jimmy Kimmel’s show. These messages were, presumably, meant for the US-based ABC channel that canceled Kimmel. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Like 3/4 of my kids seemed to not or to barely know who Kirk even was but both grandfathers were absolutely beside themselves about his death. Like in a way that was genuinely startling to me

He's younger than them. He's their imaginary son, not their imaginary dad.

Clearest evidence yet of the "they're using Charlie Kirk as a trial run for Trump's eventual death" theory imo

We're +570%.

Dems should genuinely just run everything through the simple English Wikipedia style guide

during the late Blog Times, before GoFundMe, Sara got sick. possibly terminally. i was in law school. she ran a relatively small feminist blog at the time, in Idaho, and Ezra had intermittently reposted her stuff on his original Blogspot blog. he raised about $42k in actual checks mailed to us.

Good, but stop using the word "graft". It sounds wonky and technical. "Tom Homan took bribes. Pam Bondi and Kash Patel covered it up. Why? Are they also for sale to the highest bidder? Maybe even foreign governments?"

Post now deleted, more or less confirming it was a DM. Great opsec!

Ayfkm

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Oh my GOD. This is the first official confirmation that the new H-1B entry ban does not apply to people with current visas (despite the text not containing ANY exception for people with current visas), and it’s not even something on an official website, it’s a passive aggressive tweet!

One of the most toxic things about the Democratic base is that many continue to view votes through an all-or-nothing racial collectivism where eg Indian Americans or Hispanics are collectively traitors because a percentage of them swung to Trump in this election.

As an #H1B holder (not in tech) I also woke up this Saturday to an email from my employer's international office with guidance to cancel international travel for the foreseeable future and to come back to the country today before midnight for those currently outside.

New: The federal probe of Charlie Kirk’s killing has yet to find a link between Tyler Robinson & LW groups, per 3 sources familiar “Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Let's say Man A has a one night stand on a work trip. Man B blows off, say, lunch with his wife to make fancams of the late pop star Selena. Which one "cheated"? We all know it's Man A.

this is art

A reminder that in order to mourn Charlie Kirk they had to make pure AI versions of him to ghoulishly insert normie liberal values into in order to make him palatable to be played in churches

Military lawyers within the Pentagon have taken issue with the legal justifications for the strikes, warning that the soldiers involved could be held personally liable for the killings.
