Retailers have quietly tightened return policies (with shorter windows and new fees) to increase their profits. Before you buy this #BlackFriday, check the fine print of the return policy – just in case. buff.ly/FV3DzCG

“It's both possible, and even necessary, to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects" was such a simple message that was so thoroughly and viciously rejected, but i think many of you still need to learn it

somebody on here suggested awhile back that a pretty compelling 2028 Democrat campaign promise would be "on day one I will deploy a WPA-scale army of forensic accountants across every square inch of the federal government" and I think about that every day

Just further proof that the real violence is only being perpetrated by one side, and it’s not the left no matter how much Fox and Stephen Miller stomp their little feet

OMFG HELL YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

Please hear me when I say that 1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements 2) they pre-date the age of social media 3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

Eating your seed corn.

Bard rolled a natural 20 to charm the lich king

Said it already and many others are as well but two things really cannot be emphasized enough: - Mamdani has The Juice to an unusual degree - he’s also a celebrity and Trump is to his marrow a starfucker To my mind, those two facts alone explain virtually everything we saw yesterday

We don’t need to reform ICE. We don’t need alternatives to ICE. We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE. ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

Yoda: "The boy you trained, gone he is, consumed by Darth Vader." Bluesky: AND YOU'RE SURPRISED????

This is a wonderful time to support journalists who do the work, don’t fuck sources, and actually have moral clarity.

p.s. I checked just out of curiosity and all but 19 of the 84 House Democrats who voted with Republicans to condemn 'the horrors of socialism' (77%) received $$$ from AIPAC in the 2024 cycle (per Open Secrets records)

who the FUCK is letting boots on LinkedIn, is it not bad enough???

I don’t think that age gaps are inherently bad but when your fiancée keeps boffing significantly older dudes with histories of abuse and harassment and you are a significantly older man who just lost his job because you harassed people you are maybe not the outlier you think you are

I think perhaps D-0 (one of our two new bois) may be a Big Boss in a Tiny Cute Package, not that you can tell from these photos. All I know is I've seen Loki take off like a bat out of hell after getting ONE tiny cute mew in his direction. 😂 #Caturday

”That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way.”

Wow. As I’ve been periodically saying, the front for good actions is local and state til the DNC quits being a corporate party.

Imagine dealing with fucking Stephen miller and JD Vance all day every day meeting mamdani must have been like drinking a tall glass of Diet Coke with the good ice after crawling through a burning desert for a week lol

NEW: After ProPublica reported that the White House intervened on behalf of Andrew Tate, two senators say the behavior “raises grave questions regarding the independence and impartiality of federal law enforcement operations. By Avi Asher-Schapiro and @robert-faturechi.bsky.social

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Considering the wildly unethical conduct we've seen among certain members of the U.S. Supreme Court, this is a ludicrous reason to push a judge out.

I've said in the past that I don't write for skimmers. If you skip past something and get confused, well Mr. Policeman, I gave you all the words. So I'm certainly not going to write for scrapers and summarizers either 🤷‍♀️

We need apps (like anti-virus and anti-malware programs) that will scan your devices and disable these settings for you. Every day there's more of this stuff and they're always opt-out and always buried in the settings.

this is the correct way to react to anything the president says-

yeah yeah let's all be fucking buddies at the fucking war criminal's fucking funeral fuck the lot of ya

"fuck your grandpa and his purple heart" -- the us coast guard

I'm glad Dick Cheney didn't have a 21 gun salute because someone would have gotten shot in the face.

I love him. “The first time I caught up to [ICE], I could tell that they already knew who I was. They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ‘Ha ha, bitches, I got a new scooter!’”

me bc i have just nothing else to say: "well those fucks aren't even in the military" also this is fucking psychotic are we fucking kidding

with alt text, because everyone deserves a good cry. come over.

let me guess, DC will collectively not care about this either

this has got to be one of the best things the onion has done in years

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

i thought i was supposed to be surprised by who was in the epstein files. so far it’s just “people you absolutely would’ve guessed with 10 seconds to consider it”

Whole thread worth reading, and Wyden is exactly right. We do not know the truth about Epstein until we see the whole money trail, including how it was handled inside JP Morgan.

Feel like a lot of powerful people kinda need to go to jail for the entire Epstein situation

It is the most basic of moral litmus tests to not care about the political affiliation of child abusers. The continual circling back of one particular side on this angle suggests to me that one side GREATLY cares about the political affiliation of child abusers, and I'm VERY curious as to why.

“If you’re quiet now, you would’ve been quiet in 1940.”

The worst thing Pam Bondi can do in the Epstein case is move too quickly. by Merrick Garland

"We're a bunch of nerds. We're looking up money laundering in the dictionary."

A banger day in courts for the DOJ.

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

Krakauer's "Under the Banner of Heaven". I will add a note that I don't think he does enough to differentiate between Warren Jeffs and non-fundie polygamy, but the book is a RIPPER.

Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute.

never thought I could see federal law enforcement so depraved that it would negatively polarize local cops to the left, but nothing is impossible for ole Donny Trump

Not the point but not only is this not how “shopping” for healthcare would work, it’s also not how shopping for shampoo works

Agree this is an important piece. Also: -Don't miss Lincoln Caplan's excellent piece, on same theme, last month in Harvard magazine www.harvardmagazine.com/legal/suprem... -Every Roberts profile should point out that he was on GWB's Florida Recount team in 2000. As were Brett K, Amy CB.
