Pangolins are so cool

Just rolled credits on Hades 2. That ending is sure something. So many plot threads ended up not mattering and the resolution we get IMO is not very satisfying. Phenomenal gameplay and art design but Ngl I'm let down by the story.

Newt Gingrich is one of the reasons we are in this hyperpartisan hellscape. He can go fuck himself.

I had to repost this fact!

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Over the weekend, we received reports of federal agents from ICE and Customs abusing their power. And now, we're being told the Trump Administration wants to deploy 100 military troops to Illinois. One thing is clear — none of this is making Illinois safer.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

BREAKING A federal judge that the Trump admin's policy targeting pro-Palestinian students for deportation violated the First Amendment. His blistering, 161-page ruling starts with a threat he received in chambers and his response.

fascism has come to the united states

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are both nearly as culpable as the Republicans for where we are now

My girlfriend finally got me to watch Wicked. We are in a bathroom break so a few things: 1. This movie is gay as hell (affirmatively) 2. In storytelling, why do we always default magic to telekinesis? What about transmutation? Clairevoyance? Astral Projection? It's always moving stuff with minds.

Says the mf that's literally doing a fascism but okay

A political party that was serious about defeating fascism, strengthening real democracy, pursuing justice and promoting the common welfare could do a whole host of effective things before sending us each 7000 texts a day asking for more money. But that’s what they think their job is!

A little something regarding Saros ❤️

Inject Saros into my veins please!!! I love The King in Yellow (specifically Chambers' works) and using Carcosa as a setting is fascinating!

Facts don't care about your feelings, chucklefuck

youtu.be/IS65dBNlng8?... This is the most helpful video I've seen in regards to best ways to use LLMs like Chat GPT! Thanks, @charalanahzard.bsky.social 😃

If you want to understand the failure of our media, since Kirk’s murder Republicans have fanned out across the media for interviews, all claiming Dems calling Trump ‘fascist’ causes violence. And not a single interviewer has pushed back with: ‘But Trump called Harris a fascist!’

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

free speech but only if it doesnt huwt my feewies 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

This is why @mskellymhayes.bsky.social was right when she said it’s not hypocrisy, it’s hierarchy. I can do what I want, but when you do it to me it’s illegal, because I’m above critique and above the law.

Come on man drop the decorum PLEASE

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.

Yesterday, the Attorney General asserted that "hate speech" is not free speech. Today, the President asserted that speech that is "mean" or "unfair' to him is "hate speech". Water funparks have slopes that are less slippery than this.

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences. The modern American right in 2025, folks.

Hmmm.

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

under this language charlie kirk would not have been allowed to speak on clemson’s campus

The existence of Tom Holland and Tom Hollander implies that somewhere out there, there is a Tom Hollandest. Where are you, superlative Tom?

Why didn’t anyone immediately follow up with “what’s the population of the United States?”

Jeffries’ response to Van Hollen rightly calling him out as “spineless” for not endorsing Mamdani is typically lame, weak, and unfunny. Dude isn’t qualified to run a school board let alone the Dem caucus in the House. Sheesh.

Yeah I'm sorry, when the mask comes off like that, especially so voluntarily, you don't get to put it back on.

Buttigieg: "We are not getting the leadership we need to bring this country together from the White House ... in order to deprive political violence of its power, we have to reject anyone who would try to exploit political violence. The response to this cannot be for the government to crack down."

You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.

The Long Walk was a hell of a film. Timely, brutal, and with a stacked cast of actors who will likely be household names one day. I loved it, but I definitely won't be watching it again for a while.

Hell is Us, among other things, does a great job narratively at showing how in a war, the brutality becomes mundane. We never are around the direct fighting between armies but we constantly see their results. The survivors. The destruction.

Don Jr went on Fox to attack people who call their opponents fascists. Yes, this Don Jr:

Pro tip to Laura Loomer who deleted this: The Internet is written in indelible ink.

How about that.

The pedofascist President literally cannot be a human when answering the easiest softball question

Nancy Mace acting on disinformation that the shooter was trans: goes off on tirade against "trannies" Nancy Mace when the actual shooter is a Christian white man: "he's just a poor lost boy, let us pray for him."

Community note on X

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.
