Skyline cleanser

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

I have been hesitant to post, or say much about something that happened 2me the night of December, 30th in the parking lot of my building, but after what happened in Minneapolis today, I want 2 speak up.

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.

Video makes clear almost every word of this is a lie.

they’re raiding schools and daycares and killing people

This city is going to explode. ICE killed someone three blocks from my house, then shot pepper balls in the face of people who had gathered to witness. Then they moved a couple blocks away and kicked in the doors of a house. They can rot in hell.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I like a man who looks like a slight breeze could knock him over. An aura that exudes cuddliness. A baby deer-ass man.

I'm a sucker for a little guy in a manuscript, I have to say

It's good to use the resources at hand to fight because sometimes you win. Also, I keep thinking of the period after this man was killed and how a group of people tried to impose a new social reality. It didn't work. This too is a lesson.

If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money. Famously, we know that's people working in child care.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

And this is one of those things where identity matters. You can’t do this to a man, it doesn’t have the same effect. Putting a male politician in an ai generated thong and baby oil can be laughed off, doing it to a woman delegitimizes and humiliates her for some stupid cultural reason.

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Like, I am not equipped to get into the footnote of 18th century legal texts, but this sort of stuff gives the game away. Its not textualism, or originalism or whatever, its just "everything I don't like is unconstitutional."

This is a complaint borne sheerly from privilege, but I hate how understanding anything about American politics and the intricacies of its media requires me to pay attention to the biggest losers in the world.

Sharyn Alfonsi is an award-winning journalist who has worked for 60 Minutes for 20 years. Before that she reported for ABC, CBS & local news outlets. If Alfonsi says her story was spiked by Bari Weiss political reasons, that’s exactly what happened. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

I knew when the used the word "fervor" they were really enjoying themselves with this one.

Accepting the position under these circumstances is absurd

Anyone who accepts the job under the present circumstances is demonstrating that they're morally & intellectually unfit to hold it.

For obvious reasons this is reminding me of that time during John Adams presidency when he arrested some guys for saying they hoped the cannons announcing the president's arrival in the city shot him through the ass

tell me about feminism Bank of America, teach me your wisdom

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

Elon Musk and Marco Rubio are going to hell. But first they need to be hauled in front of The Hague and charged with crimes against humanity. So should all the people who literally ate cake as they shut down food aid to the world's poor. www.propublica.org/article/keny...

everything is so fucking stupid

Jfc Skin so thin it’s see-through

I said it on here, I think, but the fact that there can even be a separate unemployment rate for Black people and that that isn't looked to for indications of...anything other than Black people's collective FAILURE is exactly why Black women can lose more than a quarter of a million jobs quietly. 💀

I understand that it must be tough to go into what you think is going to be your big break interview and then not get the job. Consider what it feels like to get hired for your big break job and then find out that the man who hired you did so because he thought you might date him.

It must be such a psychic relief to be a straight white man, and to know that no matter what professional failures or disappointments you face, the problem is always with the undeserving women and people of color, and never with your own inadequacy.

Shame on you, Tim Kaine and Mark Warner. Pure cowardice

As more and more creators are expected to be on camera to promote their comics, can we talk for a second about how this opens up female creators to intense harassment about their looks? Not to mention a lot of "You only have a career in comics because you're good looking" comments?

Conservative judges in 2025: "the founders did not understand the First Amendment to extend to aliens." James Madison, the author of the First Amendment, in 1800: "wtf are you talking about."

You betcha!

This is my favorite thing about John Adams as well open.substack.com/pub/williamh...

Yet another day studying the American Revolution where I find myself drawn into the beef between John Wilkes and William Hogarth

A classic

There are ample numbers of arrogant bastards interested in the humanities, but trying to make any kind of living in the humanities tends to be an extremely humbling experience in a way that has been far less the case (until, like, last year) for “studying compsci and getting a job in tech”

OMG

They probably had to scrap actually putting George Washington's real writings into the AI because all he talked about in his diaries was cock fighting, fox hunting, and gambling

After I had my daughter, one of the qualities I looked for in infant formula was existence, which was an aspect my breast milk lacked
