This is meme-based policymaking. These are guys who fully believe the "soy boy"/"low-t beta male" crap and think testosterone and machismo make militaries successful. I bet Hegseth watches the videos of North Korean troops karate-chopping wood for the camera and loves it. www.cbc.ca/news/world/h...

The logo and wordmark look like shit, too. Graphic design sure is the far right's passion.

I'd like to know more about Anna Vishev.

Can't believe Trump's big 4th of July bash was ruined by those pesky Antifa super-soldiers and their weather modification machines.

Theodore Roosevelt died 27 years before Trump was born. If Biden had said this, the Fox headlines would have run nonstop for months. With Trump, this obvious sign of dementia will be forgotten minutes after it happens.

JD proving yet again that Tim Walz did not miss with the "weird" allegations.

I've sat next to a police scanner. I've been to accident scenes. I know what happens when a car hits a bike and I know how dangerous it is when car drivers are reckless and irresponsible. It's why I get so frustrated when cyclists are also reckless and irresponsible. Please, be safe on the roads.

Russian politicians in ecstasy There manipulation of UK right wing media & Labour MPs to remove Starmer and and attempt to break UKs support for Ukraine Shows the UK is still as vulnerable to Russian political interference & influence campaigns, as it was when they masterminded Brexit

Orbán handled public money the same way. No-bid contracts to his friends and allies. The massive cost explosions were essentially cash transfers into those friends' pockets to create a class of powerful oligarchs loyal to him.

Good article.

That US-Iran MOU is a straight-up writ of surrender. The US pays war reparations and there's no meaningful enforcement of limits on Iran's nuclear program beyond a promise not to build nukes, which they've been making for years anyway. Straight-up Iranian victory.

The Spits fan in me is glad that Taylor Hall finally got to hoist the Mug.

Absolutely vile.

Larkin only wanting to go to teams where he can Facetime Kash Patel and not get judged for it. Florida'd be a good place for him. Mar-a-Lago is right there.

The Bari Weiss era at CBS continues to be an absolute disaster.

Gotta say, being a Red Wings fan lately has sucked.

I hope Armenians choose freedom from Russian imperialism. It's long past time for Putin's little empire to fall.

This Pope seems to have a stronger moral conviction in his criticism of Russian brutality than Pope Francis, whose tenure turned the Vatican into the Vatnikan.

Dogg, if we get an Alberta separatist goalie bringing the Cup to Vegas in his first season back from a sex scandal, I'm going to plotz.

Important study on the social impacts of AI sycophancy.

That referendum question is worded incomprehensibly.

Xi sees Russia's doom coming.

Can we talk about how the hostility toward Nuland is based on Euromaidan conspiracies

The President of the United States shamelessly giving China permission to invade Taiwan.

I try to be relatively neutral and analytical about politics, but this is so beyond disgusting that I can't even put up the facade of professionalism. Patel went for a nice little recreational swim at a WAR GRAVE. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/u...

Worth noting that handing ridiculously bloated public-sector contracts to cronies is straight out of the Orbán playbook. It's precisely how Orbán created Hungary's new class of oligarchs. Once again, MAGA copies its forerunner in gross corruption. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u...

Trump campaigned on bringing down the cost of living "starting on day one," and then: started a trade war; deported much of the farm workforce, bombed Iran, allowed healthcare subsidies to expire, cut food assistance, ran an interest-rate boosting deficit, and attacked fed independence.

It's genuinely astonishing that, 150+ years later, the United States still has a substantial block of people actively fighting to return to the pre-Civil War social order. The Confederacy never went away, it just took over the body politic from within.

Some serious signs of dementia going on here. This is not the same Trump from even a year ago, and that wasn't much of a Trump to begin with.

Just when you thought you'd seen the last of the Dragon of Budapest, Gorka returns to ruin everything. (James Adomian is a better Gorka than the real Gorka and I will die on that hill.) www.rawstory.com/amp/trump-26...

Worth a read as the Southern states set about dismantling multiethnic democracy.

as per melissa's thread, it is really important to understand that a major goal of this administration is the resegregation of key institutions of american society

It's not just the academic jargon. It's the tendency towards vagueness and the preference for process over principle that comes from trying too hard not to ruffle any feathers. But successful politicians *do* ruffle feathers now and then.

Poor Gavin McKenna. Another first-overall pick, ready for his career to be ruined by playing in Toronto.

The ongoing gerrymanders are pretty consistent with the Republicans pursuing the Orbán strategy: Creating an electoral system so heavily rigged in their favour that opposition becomes impractical. Nevertheless, Orbán lost. Americans need to get angry and vote in numbers never before seen.

At the rate things are going, Trump will have tanked the economy in both of his terms.

Nothing to worry about, just the Heritage Foundation publishing an article on how the Republican Congress can refuse to seat Democrats www.heritage.org/election-int...

"Good Tsar, bad boyars"

Genuinely happy that AEW finally gave Darby Allin a chance to run with the big belt. He's been around since the beginning and has more than earned it.

If true, that's a Putin proxy directly funding the American far-right machine.

Sure looks like Carney will get the clean sweep.

This is something that terrifies the crap out of me. We need to know what horrors go on inside these ICE facilities, even knowing that the answers will almost certainly curdle our collective blood.

Trump isn't beating the allegations that all he does all day is sit around and yell at TV and post.

Trump getting dunked on by the Pope.

Gotta say, Trump posting AI slop of himself as what might be the Pope and what might be *actual Jesus* viscerally infuriates the little leftover fragment of Catholicism that still dwells in my heart of hearts.

Marjorie Taylor Greene changing sides has been one of the more novel turns of events I can think of.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

"Voting doesn't work" motherfuckers! Watch as enough people vote to literally rewrite a constitution! Watch and fucking seethe!!!!

I do not think it is wise to feud with a man with a direct line to God.
