Don Lemon has been arrested, and the federal agents who killed people in MN walk free. What's wrong with this picture.

Another fun fact. For all the talk about border security and illegal immigration, the largest share of people in the US who are out of status (ie undocumented) are people who entered legally on a visa and overstayed. Guess where the largest number of them are from?

AI is a fascist-adjacent technology. It undermines anti-fascist messages. It steals from artists. It homogenizes individual viewpoints. It reinforces bigotry. It's backwards rather than forwards looking. It obscures truth. It denies the idea that truth even matters. It's their tool. Not ours.

hello I am launching my very own podcast with @jordanjamboree.pittbert.gay where we (mostly casually!) chat about car culture in the decline of the American empire, auto racing, and industry news interspersed with tales of our former auto journo careers. we call it TRAN GIRLISMO

There really seems to be a lot of kayfabe happening right now. Trump is pretending to de-escalate to placate Dems so they don't demand reform, and Dems are making up fake reforms so they can pretend like they made changes while they vote to fund DHS.

Man these He-Man right wingers sure are a bunch of pussies

Y'all I'm tired.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

the elite rot the people lead

Happy large boulder the size of a small boulder day for all who celebrate

Ah, the moment when you've spent a bunch of money and time on a big project and you're halfway through and then one of your pets develops a mysterious limp. Makes you want to die so hard it goes all the way around to feeling alive.

mr. mamdani i sincerely apologize for the mileage this image is going to get

"Slavery was real" Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington. Presidents House, Philadelphia.

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

Once again reiterating that it's a genuine problem for U.S. diplomacy that American elites are too goddamn stupid to see "The president is deterred by the threat armed force" and "Mister Trump does a Reasonable Diplomacy because The System Worked" are entirely different outcomes.

Finally found a spiritual practice that speaks to me

Some of us were already boycotting Target. Get your head in the game.

It is. You don't need permission to consider what's happening in Minnesota the greatest betrayal of the country since the southern secession. Possibly since the founding. Arguably the secession was at least based on the untested legal idea that states could leave the constitutional order at will.

Alt Hed: Democrats Attempt To Step On Their Own Dicks Again, Despite The Shrinking Size

Nothing has been ok since Bowie died

hey Mom can you come pick me up. yeah everyone on the niche microblogging website is arguing about who has the correct emotional posture to the unknowable future again

Your average UAW worker says "fuck" five times before breakfast. Still though

Star Trek, but without all the touchy, feely, acceptance of different cultures and ideas, isn't Star Trek. Thanks @chadkirchner.com for the assist on this one.

The @wired.com guide to ICE invading your neighborhood:

Davis School District (UT), which is one of the school districts in the state responsible for nearly every single book banned statewide, was too busy obsessing over books to protect actual kids being actually groomed in the district. kutv.com/news/local/l...

she also helped start the fabricated "cancel culture" panic by writing for The Nation that a bunch of Black women are mean for calling out racism on Twitter

Local parents groups asking if adults can ride school buses to help protect children from ICE after a special ed bus got stopped this morning. Like a Dirty Harry movie except the villain in the federal government.

There's this episode of Star Trek where Captain Picard is captured and tortured, and the main way that the torturer tries to break him is by showing him four lights, and telling him that there are five. There are four lights. This is not a post about Star Trek.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

AMC trying to make me care about a straight relationship in their Anne Rice fan fic was the ultimate queerbaiting move of 2025.

How many citizens were killed by police in each country between 2010-2019: Canada: 305 France: 233 Germany: 100 Australia: 53 United Kingdom: 22 United States: 15,008

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

Discord's Captcha is making me doubt my humanity.

Spent the entire Christmas day protecting my vicious pit bulls who were cowering from my Sister In Law's 10 month old golden retriever only for an in-law to remark on how scary my dogs are. Yeah. Right. Ok.

And the winner of this year's ugly Christmas ornament is my sister's entry, Shartcuterie! There was strong competition this year, but the entrails and glitter combo here is a clear winner

whew

After all this holiday baking I'm starting to think Thanksgiving and Christmas are the product of Big Dairy trying to force more butter into our lives.

I have to say I think it was a mistake putting Barry White in charge of CBS News. Great singer but he’s no journalist, and he’s been dead for 20 years

so cool! now when I commit high crimes in flagrant violation of international law, all I have to do is refuse to talk about them on camera, and then, since they couldn't get "both sides," I can avoid an embarrassing news report on them! amazing system. A+

Heated Rivalry is great but I'm also excited for more people to know about the lovely and strange Spencer Krug and the Canadian indie super group Wolf Parade.

I have such a cool tattoo idea but it involves runes. Fucking white supremecists ruin everything. (the idea is the earliest sentence we have written in what would become English)

every year I am asking myself this

Oh, and the stock is +130% higher now than it was at the start of this earnings estimate chart.

God forbid a woman take interest in her family history.
