Today was the day Donald Trump finally became President.

I guess we now all know what we'll post when Trump dies.

Saving this post for when It Happens.

Just feels like every material representation of masculinity for 12 year old boys, all crammed into a tiny digital space that will fit your screen. So farcical that I don't know how anyone working on or watching this production doesn't feel like their intelligence is being insulted.

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

Glad to see strong pushback in the replies to this motte and bailey bs. Favreau made some basic, plainly true points about aipac. It’s pro-Netanyahu & it hides by running ads about other things bc it knows it will lose that argument with US voters. He never said lurking bogeyman or core villain

Whoa whoa whoa. WSJ reports that Trump *personally* pushed the Justice Department to settle its antitrust case with Live Nation. Several sources for my NYT column speculated this was the case. The Journal says it's a fact. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

I sure would hate to be living under a system with censorship, propaganda, shortages, humiliation, repression, and destruction. Gee, I bet that would be just awful.

i’m so glad censorship, propaganda, shortages, humiliations, repression, and destruction won’t be a problem for us in the liberal democratic west what with us having banished communism and all

Bluesky is people.

Not once does this story mention that offering a federal job in exchange for a political favor is a crime

And they are both trying to explicitly use Catholicism to do that. It's why they won't shut up about it. It's why they keep publicly misinterpreting scripture. It's not a quiet part of their persona, it is a public part of their marketing if you will. It's also deeply weird shit.

The reason I keep harping on Vance and Thiel being converts is not because I think being a cradle Catholic makes you better. It's because Thiel's whole goal has been to invade and dismantle institutions, it's why he funded Vance.

Once in 2019 I was in navasota tx and I saw this huge fuken ranch called "the lone wolf ranch" and I went like "what kind of cringe made bitch names their ranch the lone wolf ranch" anyway it was chuck Norris

BREAKING: In Final Act, Chuck Norris Defeats Chuck Norris

Remember when Hawk Tuah girl launched Hawk Tuah coin and a bunch of people went “this seems to be a logical investment” and then she was accused of running a pump and dump scheme? Someday that might all seem pretty silly

Good to see Gemini giving YouTube proper credit for its role in in, uhh, cultural burning practices???

IN FRONT OF ZENDAYA

Copper thieves be like I love the wire

Hey babe are you an unhealthy PM 2.5 level? Because when I'm around you I gasp for air.

I like when you wake up and can only sniff the peripheral outrage about something stupid and you're never sure you should bother to dig more deeply

The "in front of Zendaya" elevates this to art, for me

1. "Two dolls." 2. "Chicken, tortilla, and one other item." 3. "One less trip to Starbucks."

I honestly feel like that’s the lesson of the Trump era the country is gonna take the longest to learn. like oh okay so we have been lionizing the founding fathers for 250 years and it turns out they didn’t do their ONE JOB. they didn’t Mad King-proof ANYTHING! first Mad King crashed the system!!!

Philip Kennicott’s brutal review of the Trump coin. 🔥 🦅 🌭

my gotten gains are so ill

I think we should put Trump on Mount Rushmore. I mean that literally. We should helicopter him up there and let him figure it out

It would be great if our national political leaders could bring themselves to adopt such a mature attitude toward America’s history, especially in this year of the 250th anniversary.

I’m sure there are outliers, but I think it’s beautiful and important for Californians to be able to say, we don’t need to honor this guy by name anymore but we’re going to continue to honor farm workers because the values they fought for were always about more than just one man.

Perhaps I have missed things, but most of what I’ve seen from labor/Chicano/California folks has been: acknowledgment of harm, support/gratitude for the victims, consideration of dynamics that allowed the harm to happen, and an intention to decenter Chavez without abandoning the farmworker movement

It’s pretty striking to see the mature response to the Cesar Chavez sexual assault allegations from his longtime supporters, especially after so many years of absolute temper tantrums when other cultural or political leaders face allegations of historic wrongdoing.

mind-boggling to me that i still have yet to see a single democrat utter the phrase “every republican president of your lifetime has destroyed the economy and started a war”

A first-time candidate who came onto the scene as a young TikTok’er getting over 25% in a crowded primary against other elected officials seems like an objectively strong electoral performance, whatever your thoughts on the candidate might be. She did something right with voters:

They haven't even given a reason for the war, and are asking for an amount of money that would be like funding the whole EPA for 22 years.

Post a gif of who you wanted to be when you were a kid

the reason we dont have high speed rail or healthcare is so we can stuff money in the pockets of a few guys who were in the right place at the right time a few decades ago so they can do shit like this, this is the innovation we’re getting for funneling money to these people

I am just so very sick of people failing to actually process the ways in which the New York Times is load-bearing for journalism in the year 2026. I’m not saying it should excuse its failures; I’m saying we need a theory that discusses why its failures matter VIA why its successes matter.

What the upside-down Atari is this shit

Men out here saying misogynistic shit and not even having the common decency to say it over poorly played power chords with a catchy hook

How’d they do it? Have I got a book for you: cup.columbia.edu/book/making-...

Holy shit this is A READ. Respect to Afroman. Never, ever ever ever, cross Afroman. He will roast the shit out of you, and you will deserve it.

Perfect

Almost have a joke about Sisyphus, but such an uphill struggle to get it rolling

This problem -- the RW takeover of media -- is like fucking Voldemort or something. He Who Cannot Be Named. People seem to think they'll burst into flame if they discuss it. It's baffling. I've accepted that I'm going to live & die without ever understanding why this is.

"The public has lost trust in government and come to think that everyone involved is corrupt." Oh? Interesting. I guess they just concluded that through their own comparative study of gov't efficacy? Or was it something else? Thoughts? Anyone?

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

Zuck’s stupid avatar will forever live even if his $60 billion pet project is dead

Dude literally named the company after this project. One of a billion reminders that these tech bros are not geniuses, but rather oligarchs with too much power and held up by the tech people they employ and the companies they bought.
