lol

If Axl Rose was Jewish then today he'd be celebrating Rosh Hashanananananana *struck by lightning*

tying myself to a telephone pole, rapture or no rapture i'm seeing ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

what did we learn here folks

in case you were wondering, this exclusive interview was a key part of the special

I’m sure ‘ol Bob will do the right thing. Now to take a big sip of coffee and google “Bob Iger” and “Kundun.”

feels like a 'rewatch STALKER' kinda night

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

The Republican Party as it is currently constituted will destroy the United States — politically, economically, socially and culturally. The democratic reform of our federal system isn't only justified in itself, but necessary to force its moderation into a party compatible with liberal democracy.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

generally speaking, and with the glaring exception of november 2024, the more directly democratic an institution has been, the better it has checked Trump (eg grand and petit juries); the more elite and insular, the less effective (the Senate, the Supreme Court, big business)

Kinda telling that literally no one on either side expects Jimmy Fallon to say something

It took a lot of soul searching but there's really no way around it, the only way to mend the bridges of this troubled nation is for me to be given more work as an editor/assistant editor www.linkedin.com/in/jaredmsko...

Coates nails it with the Lost Cause analogy. "The rewriting and the ignoring were done not just by Confederates, but also by putative allies for whom the reduction of Black people to serfdom was the unfortunate price of white unity."

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

mildly hurt, frankly, that i wasn't contacted to contribute to this www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsuP...

Surrender your sight, fleshbags

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Ah. Covid.

I’ve been rewatching the Coen Bros filmography this month and while drawing a Barton Fink illustration, it struck me how much their films feel like Far Side cartoons: funny, strange, clever, yet frequently inscrutable. Anyway here’s a thread!

Wait, being under the weather feels… *puts on reading glasses* BAD?! *peruses notes* that can’t be right…

fuuuuuuuck off with this

This post that a friend of my partner's shared on FB potentially explains the Kristin Chenoweth thing, and is frightening.

THEY'RE CALLED GROYPERS COOP. A GAGGLE OF YOUNG MEN ONLINE WHO CAN'T DELINEATE BETWEEN VIOLENCE AND ENTERTAINMENT. DARNDEST THING. ONE OF THEIR SHELL CASINGS TURNED THREE OF OUR BEST AGENTS GAY.

The alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk is Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah. He comes from a very pro-gun conservative family and proudly wore a Trump costume for Halloween a few years ago. He's also a registered Republican. Not a lunatic lefty, transgender or immigrant member of MS-13.

Today's writing...

“Nobody should be killed for their political beliefs” vs “every child in Gaza is potentially a terrorist” is a fun contrast

Politics the right way

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

he certainly succeeded in building the world he wanted to live in, i'll give him that

This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"

UNDERSTAND: whatever the fascists do "as a result" of this 👏THEY👏 WERE👏GOING 👏TO 👏DO 👏ANYWAY.👏

as always i encourage u all not to post things that may attract the attention of an authoritarian secret police with unlimited power to surveil american citizens at this time

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.

"Accidentally"

Imagine minding your own business, trying to enjoy your meal and the worlds dumbest, loudest pedophile walks into the restaurant
