KKK-Pop Demon Hunters (2025)

In the Foundation series one of the signs of Imperial decay Asimov had was scholars merely reading previous works and summarizing those rather than doing primary research.

I'm not in marketing but an angry guy shrieking "Guess what asshole...AI isn't going away so you might as well accept it!" doesn't strike me as the way you'd pitch an ostensibly useful product

Knives Oot (2025)

“There’s never been a moment when someone’s like ‘oh, I didn’t want to let you know I really want universal child care.’ … When you say ‘I’m a moderate,’ or ‘I’m a centrist’ I immediately know you’re right-wing, and I also think you’re a coward.”

Since a lot of people seem to be confused, this is what fascism sounds like in the American context.

Al Qaeda’s high point came with a cult of personality around Osama bin Laden. His successor, Ayman al Zawahiri, was once described as “a black hole of charisma,” and couldn’t replicate bin Laden’s (relative) success. Not a perfect analogy, but I’ve been thinking about it a bunch lately.

You absolute chucklefuck. We don't have to apologize for being white, we have to keep apologizing for all the racist bullshit you and your ilk have been perpetrating for centuries. And in between apologies, we're trying to stop you, and fix the messes you've made. So kindly fuck all the way off.

This bargain is acceptable.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Neither is herpes, but I’ll keep doing my work without either.

Nothing to see here, just a right wing hyper-nationalist government going to their party’s youth event sponsored by a group with a martyred leader they’ve pledged to avenge, recruiting people to join their masked police force devoted to removing auslanders from ze homeland.

I just spent six years writing a book. I learned how to use archives, how to handle secondary sources, how to structure a 140k-word argument. I fell so hard in love I went back to school for a PhD. Now people ask how I use LLMs to write or summarize and I can only think “You don’t value what I do.”

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

So fascists love brutality, not because it creates safety & security & plenty, but because it creates danger & uncertainty & lack. Creating something of value is a threat to those who create nothing and deliver only theft. But if you hold power despite creating nothing but pain, you dominate.

There is no trend or epidemic of kids being trans or non-binary.

This was my biggest tweet over in the bad place. It will live here now. 🧙‍♀️🎄

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

White supremacists getting their jaws broken. More of that please.

Bank of America first started offering credit cards to women in 1974

"Those who put themselves above the law's reach are beyond the law's protection."

I can’t think of anybody who could be in the Epstein files that I’d want censored and protected Jim Henson could be in there wearing Kermit and I’d be like drag them. Better that we know.

I cannot state any more baldly or clearly than I already have about what an immense menace RFK Jr. is. The number of preventable illnesses and deaths - of *babies* - will be horrific. This anti-vax crap is grotesque anti-science, and always has been.

67 Senators could remove RFK Jr. today but there aren’t 67 Senators who care about Americans’ lives, health, or wellbeing. Babies will die. Our leaders hate us.

The whole point of being an academic is that you need to be willing to spend three days creating a 700-word footnote that you will later delete. And you need to LIKE IT.

The case for treating The Atlantic as a useless fascist mouthpiece.

in conclusion:

It IS our war. We made a deal with Ukraine that if they gave up their nukes, we’d protect them from Russia.

I'm pretty sure that at this point in time, the remaining opposition to renewables are nothing but the tantrums of those with interest in fossil fuels and/or could not get the logic of "there's no cost to obtaining the fuel" to sink into the brain.

The minimum acceptable position for Democratic Party candidates MUST be: • abolish ICE • empty CBP • round up these motherfuckers and prosecute them to the fullest extent possible

“The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed.”

'how do we get our employees to be more loyal and not leak dirt' well here's one wild ass plan

😂 a dear friend once said that no email is an emergency people who get to declare emergencies have our phone numbers and it's been shaping my life ever since

good morning

From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.

SNAP benefits should be universal, with zero means testing, and generous. Even from a purely capitalist perspective this would benefit the economy massively. The only reason to be against this is because you're pro-suffering.

What percent of white men are pathetic, self-centered assholes who can't countenance their demographic not being supreme above all others? Fix that, and the rest will follow.

Feminism is the idea that women are full human beings, so the question “has feminism failed women?” interrogates the assumptions of those asking far more than it interrogates feminism.

The 6 richest men in the world are all Trump allies. They control your algorithms and data on X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and YouTube. Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

Most weak-kneed phrase in journalism right now? “Critics say…”

It's best to understand that fascists see hypocrisy as a virtue. It's how they signal that the things they are doing to people were never meant to be equally applied. It's not an inconsistency. It's very consistent to the only true fascist value, which is domination.

“These brownies aren’t just a treat—they’re a ” They’re a closing the tab and finding another recipe, is what they are

Again, I really wish more papers would get accustomed to the form “Trump unlawfully pretends to…” when describing things Trump says he’s doing but has no legal power to do.
