I reject the notion that we must coddle and support people who don’t want to live near people who speak other languages, and it’s not clear to me how this is significantly different than “it’s fine not to want to live next door to someone of a different ethnicity or religion.”

These lefties trying to find a way to say "no actually see, Ukraine is all Nazis" are exhausting. No, it isn't. No, we don't care about your weird-ass conspiracy theories. Yes, we know it's just soviet pining. Fuck off and simp harder for Platner.

No kings but Zohran.

I'd be so mad if I was Canadian. Trump is taking away your chance to burn it down again.

My feelings about my military service are complicated and ever evolving, but one thing that I’m certain of is that my experience of war, of doing violence and having violence done to me, all for no reason whatsoever in the end, has left me with an almost crippling empathy for my fellow human beings.

This guy is truly the best to ever do it. I wake up every morning with a faint malaise until I check to confirm that the sun has risen and derek remains on our side.

I don’t understand why some people’s reaction to Platner is “well that seems kind of implausible, but I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt”. If there’s anywhere you should have low trust to the point of seeing conspiracy theories, it’s around Nazis. They conspire. It’s what they do.

*person handing me a shit sandwich with wonder bread and shit smeared on both pieces of bread and more shit on top of that with a diarrhea condiment*: what are you? a sandwich purist?

Bernie's implication that a veteran is just expected and allowed to be awash with toxic masculinity had me thinking today about the time I read @lorencrowe.bsky.social (one of the gayer men [laudatory] I'm aware of)'s jaw-dropping Silver Star citation.

It really concerns me how getting a Nazi chest tattoo is being described today as just a youthful indiscretion. I think the state of X is responsible for a lot of it. DUI with resisting and assault on an officer is a youthful indiscretion. Nazi chest tattoos get you lined up by the wall.

What a contrast to what he has to say about the heroes defending Ukraine.

It's wild to see how many Calgarians hate blanket rezoning. Like "fuck the 'character of your neighborhood' Barbara, we're building housing now". Nothing makes me welcome a metaverse of boomers jacked up on soma like people fighting to live in a sea of bungalows until the end of days. #Calgary

Why do all these people look like russophiles? By which I mean pedophiles. Why do all these people look like pedophiles?

Congratulations to the people of Madagascar after the president flees the country. The military refused orders to fire on and instead joined the demonstrators, of whom 22 had already been killed. Heroyam slava.

Sometimes, when I talk to people, I feel like a boxing couch watching his fighter stand puzzled as he takes haymaker after haymaker. On the buzzer, I advise them to defend themselves, but they stubbornly insist that protecting themselves would be a provocation. The judges, they think, will admire it

Seeing him defeat the legal system is a crucial factor in all this, yes. It made various actors less concerned about punishment for lawbreaking, and less confident that the law can protect them.

There really needs to be a disclaimer online about who is getting paid to say what. It's honestly unacceptable how all these people pretend they are just passively analyzing history and telling things like it is.

Said this before, but watching a bunch of "Death To America" red triangle emoji posters crying on Tiktok about Canada cutting off electricity to the Midwest in response to annexation threats, saying collective punishment of Americans is wrong and half of us didn't even vote!, was illuminating

A responsible government would ask our intelligence and special operations apparatus to keep a drawer of plans of action ranging in covertness and effect and keep them updated as our situation develops in order to protect our national interest, is all I'll say.

I was just thinking about this yesterday when I saw a clip of him chiding Democrats for "the rhetoric". "The fact that they don't want us to take them over makes me want to invade. I want to quench my imperialist thirst." [my response redacted]

Kind of excited to pull the reverse gun-guy move and say “ackshually it’s a clip” when someone calls this a magazine.

This is a russia-tier bad op.

I definitely don't think the post Trump deleted and then reposted was meant for public consumption, but I don't see people suggesting what seems most likely IMO. It wasn't intended as a 1:1 DM (maybe I'm wrong and he really does DM like this). It reads like a private group chat message to me.

Based Poland showing the world how to talk to russians.

The fact that Democrats allowed themselves to to be gaslit into not running primarily on abortion, and that abortion is no longer treated as an uncompromisable issue, is a sign of how much male pundits who are completely out of touch have taken over the consulting class

Max Blumenthal is a piece of shit that never saw a conflict between an obvious good and bad side he didn’t want to obfuscate to help make the bad guy look better.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

as for optics, I was a fifteen year resident of China who saw Han, Uyghur - and one white Canadian! - friend disappeared or put into solitary confinement by the Chinese state, I could not give a single solitary fuck about what you think the 'optics' of making a joke about Chinese nationalism are

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Hard to think of a more on-the-nose encapsulation of how far the online speech wars have swung in the year of our lord 2025 than major U.S. corporations racing to fire people whose tweets offended Milo Yiannopoulos

If you want to know why comedians are not rising up to defend Kimmel this is an essential text:

This is fucking insane. Our elite is just as rotten as theirs.

“First they came for Kimmel…. so I’d like to take a few minutes to tell you how much I’m nothing like Kimmel.” 🤦

lmao at this vatnik invoking "digital blackface" over a reaction image in 2025.

“Do you condemn the Kirk assassination?” “Of course, I condemn all political violence” “Aha! He won’t specifically condemn Kirk’s murder!” “No I said ‘of course’, I condemn Kirk’s murder specifically too. Remember like 5 minutes ago when you were defending ‘ALL LIVES MATTER’”?

Huge banner that says “get nukes”

I'm waiting with baited breath to see if Joey Mannarino here remains consistent now that the shooter was found to be a cisgendered white man.

What really needs to be banned are social media algorithms. This is just telling kids they can't have digital crack cocaine until they're 16.

Cannabis becoming a legal market that has bus stop marketing and everything has been nice from a user and taxpayer perspective, but I feel like it's been a bad look for ending drug prohibition more widely. I want to see users get heroin and support from a pharmacy. But people think "bus stop ads".

This also counts as political violence.

Now hang on, @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social. When you say you "decided to trust the witch's will" at the end of that first paragraph, does that mean you bought the $50 spell booster upsell, or not?

Melissa Hortman

If you’re an American terrified that today might open a new era of right wing political violence, it may be smart to take some precautions, like reviewing your digital security and perhaps arming yourself and thinking about what to do in case of home invasion.

The Speaker Emerita of the Minnesota House was gunned down in her home and slaughtered along with her husband and dog, and Trump didn't say a thing. Half-mast, my ass.

This seems an awful lot like how the tutorial mission to Broken Arrow ends.

The sitting president is a traitor who attacked congress and is now invading and occupying american cities, his authority is fundamentally illegitimate, and we cannot permit them to continue brutalizing our neighbors out of fear of retaliation.

This is a graph about Vyvanse.
