Ballroom donors won $50B in contracts after giving to Trump project, watchdog group finds www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Do I need mastercard to be my friend? No Do I need them to fear what will happen to their revenue stream if they are homophobic? Yes.

Who could’ve predicted this would age badly?

Man this is a good quote

The phrase “regulations are written in blood” exists for a reason

Rainbow capitalism actually is a good thing but it's as a warning light, not as actual social progress; when the rainbow capitalism stops, it's a sign that capital doesn't feel that paying lip service to queers' humanity is currently advantageous

It’s a real dark sign of the times if a brand as bland as Dominos feels comfortable enough to pander directly to incel gamergaters

The regulatory state is more important to the smooth operation of society to which we’ve become accustomed than anyone in this administration realizes, and in a lot of ways, we’ve already run off the cliff and are just starting to look down

I was not allowed to watch the show but my parents felt it was okay to read the book!

@infinata.bsky.social Something I’ve been thinking about recently: How far in advance did word about Order 66 go out to the folks writing “Republic” to give them time to prepare? How much info were they working with? Must’ve been tricky especially considering the back and forth around Quinlan!

(*me in 2027 waiting in line for my live-streamed execution in the now-permanent UFC arena in front of the White House*) “You know I actually did kinda think it would end this way”

too late guys, everyone younger than you is a communist now. you should have restrained capital like 1% more while you had the chance and then maybe this wouldn’t have happened

she did warn us

Scott Pelley was ousted from CBS News in the exact manner Bari Weiss *thinks* she was ousted from NYT

apparently there's a mod to remove gay marriage in skyrim like bro you're literally the only person who gets married at all in the game and if you need a mod to prevent yourself from getting gay married that says something about you

"Journalism" as a non-partisan, almost professional job wholly apart from pamphleteers and the yellow press was a particular result of the specific economics of reproduction and distribution and the American postwar. It was a pretty, delicate, soap bubble, and it is gone now

The Paramount website lists 8 people as 60 Minutes correspondents. As of right now, only 4 remain.

If you have something you'd like to say to the folks at CBS, here is the contact form.

Adam Hamawy is a seasoned veteran combat medic who literally saved the life of a sitting senator of the United States; volunteered to treat Bosnians and Palestinians during their genocides, helped 9/11 victims on 9/11, and this is how the NYT decides to describe him after he wins a seat to Congress.

There's just a certain fin de siecle absurdity of someone whose only achievement in life is having opinions on the internet ending the career of someone who managed to get into Kyiv in 2022 in the middle of the initial Russian invasion to interview Zelensky.

In the darkest night for American liberalism, Tom Steyer went against his class interests, his generation and his era to work for the Mondale 1984 campaign. Absolute lion, I don't care what anyone else says, he's a real one

If you go out, go out like a Scott Pelly, not like a John Cornyn. Fight evil, fight corruption, fight vapid anti-anti-Trumpism, fight the trash people ruining the country and the culture. But hey, congrats to Nick Bilton. I assume he’ll now get an invite to speak at that big FIRE conference.

This is one of those times when it’s important to recognize the asymmetry of the warfare here. For people like Weiss and Bilton and their backers, they win if they (1) corrupt CBS News OR (2) destroy CBS News and its credibility. Defenders only win by saving and preserving it.

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

Absolutely true, it was 2 to 1 women/men at Delaney Hall yesterday

Hello from Delaney Hall

@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social you know who this dickhead is? Showed up at Delaney Hall and started yelling homophobia and streaming but won’t identify himself

undiagnosed, but pretty sure

(I got permission to post this) Beginning today, I will not be posting anything about my son. I will instead be posting about my daughter. Happy Pride!

I have the honor of interviewing Alphan Eşeli and Hazar Ergüçlü about their dark new horror film MUTTER: DIARY OF A MOTHER, premiering at #TribecaFilm this week www.macabredaily.com/articles/alp...

Another morning where the two largest and most influential newspapers in the nation, both headquartered in New York City, do not have what's happening at Delaney Hall in Newark on its front page. Instead, some curious choices: NYT: Is Vance Trump's successor? WSJ: Bill Gates image is cracking

Ossoff: "While you pay more for everything, Donald Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom."

The First Amendment is your permit.

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

"Actually, I am the governor of this state and I'm not going to back down from stamping out human rights violations in my jurisdiction just because some military reject told me that a child rapist doesn't want me to enter this facility" ...is the response I'm waiting to see from any governor

Mikie Sherill should resign

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Amazing that Zohran Mamdani did not want to join a parade with Bezalel Smotrich, soon to be wanted by the ICC for crimes against humanity. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

Why does Mayor Mamdani not attend the parade for a country that he would be banned from visiting and other questions that can be answered by asking them out loud

The incredible whining over Mayor Mamdani not attending the Celebrate Israel Parade—as if he would be a welcome presence there—is more evidence for my argument that this is all about lost Zionist hegemony over the issue in US discourse. It's possible they don't know how awfully entitled they sound.

This answer alone should destroy this administration. This conversation is essentially: “people are hurting.” “ceos are fine.”

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

Can we normalize class war?

This will help with my mafia initiation where I burn one of these and pass them between my hands to represent how I will burn if I ever betray the family

This is really outrageous when you think about it. A jury found Trump sexually assaulted Carroll. News coverage often frames it like they’re political opponents.

Yes of course conservatives can and have made great art throughout history. Not these ones though. These one have not and cannot.

ICE is targeting journalists at Delaney Hall. They’re hitting photographers, breaking fingers and smashing off lenses.
