The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

The reason you don’t see any time travelers around is because they’re all in 1997 eating kudos bars and drinking sobe and listening to Natalie Imbruglia

If only we’d known in 2015 that we could just turn off the escalator.

Sex workers posting wildly incorrect WW2 rage bait to get people to click on their bio instead of thirst traps is the funniest anecdote you can tell about this place

Checked in on my distant cousin who is deeply MAGA-pilled and saw on her Facebook that the red hat girlies are telling each other to take belladonna for headaches, so I don’t think that birthrate is going to be climbing any higher yall …

Lord, give me the confidence of a public figure who earnestly believes he just crushed that interview with Isaac Chotiner

Conservatives are saying Kimmel’s return refutes the notion that Trump’s administration is fascist, as opposed to the fact that the the voice of the people rose up against the rising tide of fascism and won.

If you are listening to any medical advice this reheated baloney sandwich spews, you deserve your headache.

there's always a John Waters quote, it seems

Romancelandia: even if you don't read dark romance, the new Bsky guidelines should concern you. Disallowed: "Illustrated or animated" depictions of nonconsensual adult content. Why ban fictional depictions of anything? And how will consent be determined from an illustration?

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

Now sure how long this will last, but the August Lane ebook is currently on sale for 5.99 across all platforms.

The wildest thing about this whole episode is that it reveals Trump apparently communicates with his administration via Truth Social DM. *Just* aware enough to know not to text, but still so spaghetti brain addled that he thinks a Truth Social DM is the ticket.

Look we all need to find our little rebellions in These Times™️ and one of mine is that I will never learn/refuse to remember how to pronounce Emil Bove’s name.

According to the vote the ACIP just took, I no longer qualify for the shot I got 90 minutes ago (the BMI requirement is now 30)

I'm in Tennessee and have to affirm that I'm eligible for a covid vaccine. I looked at the list, and the list "BMI over 25" as a risk factor. Thank you 18 months of lifting, I now officially have a BMI over 25 because I built a fat ass and thicc thighs.

“Fascism is a temper tantrum disguised as an ideology. It’s for weird, whiny little babies who feel sad and scared, and instead of growing the fuck up, they make it everyone else’s problem.”

I can tell this site needs more sports knowers because everyone's been yelling about canceling Disney+ and Hulu all day and I literally haven't seen anyone yelling about canceling the new ESPN app, which was just rolled out and the success of which is existential for ESPN.

It’s wild that he’s doing concentration camps and controlling speech and invading cities and destroying education and weakening public health ALL WHILE TANKING THE ECONOMY!

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

It’s easy to forget, but important to remember, that we also have a responsibility to wring the goodness out of life.

Turns out the fuck-your-feelings crowd has A LOT of feelings.

I regret nothing, I don't apologize, kiss my ass.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Is the free speech in the room with us? Or does Melanie have it hidden under that fuckin’ hat.

Robert Redford on Richard Nixon's death. Not much changes, I guess.

i can live with people who truly believe that dinosaurs were in the bible, i cannot live with people believe that queer people should be eradicated from society

I cannot take the horrors OR the minor annoyances and so for lunch I’m getting an ice cream cone, a Coke, and fries.

I’m so sick of old white elected Democrats stubbornly continuing to play by the rules of the game when the opposition has thrown up on the game board.

live your life so that when you die everyone talks about how hot you were and not how you were a hateful bigot

Man if Butch and Sundance hit NOW, there wouldnt be room for anything else on AO3

Thank you to Marc Andreessen for finally breaking my TikTok addiction. I look forward to getting that time back in my day.

Olive Garden’s neverending pasta bowl (threatening)

Sometimes a pizza lunchable just hits

I have been against political violence since the time when JD Vance was against Donald Trump. If he wants to be against political violence, he can start by apologizing for everything he has done to stoke political violence.

Cam Skattebo shakes off tackles like a toddler who doesn’t want to get in his car seat #Giants

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Omg enough of this just give me one of these and one of those pls

Apparently it’s only “political violence” if it comes from the Bluesky region of the internet, otherwise it’s just sparkling bigotry

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet

Dessert mode ACTIVATE: Best pie: key lime Best ice cream: mint chocolate chip Best donut: pink frosted Best bar: 7 layer bars Best cake: yellow with chocolate frosting from any box mix Best other: oatmeal scotchies

After several days of enduring some intense national gaslighting, reading this felt like a bath for my brain www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Oop.

The problem, is young white dudes stopped forming bands and started forming podcasts. That’s where everything went awry. Maybe we need a WPA for revitalizing garage rock.

Maybe the GOP should turn down the shitposting so they don’t keep inspiring memelords with guns.

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

At what point do we start categorizing “radicalized by the internet” as its own thing separate and apart from political ideology?

I need you to recognize that this is white "nationalist" stuff here. It's not (just) "oh, look at the weirdness of a Hindu talking about a Christian with Norse references." This is Patel speaking in the language of the extreme white right. (See below)
