We all know charcuterie boards are just fancy adult lunchables right?

I've said it before, but I think the current spree of memekillings is the product of an ideological transition. It's hard to parse because it's rapidly evolving. It's clearly derived from far right precursors, but it hasn't progressed to coherence yet.

Wild af that *The Daily Mail* is the only place to even remotely attempt to reasonably address Affleck’s entirely scientifically correct speech at the UN

Q: What requires more electricity than every home in Wisconsin combined and uses as much water in one day as thousands of families collectively use in a year? A: Data centers.

If you know other cases where DHS/ICE and other agencies demanded data about an activist's online accounts, I'm still digging. My Signal is shawnmusgrave.82

The US president made the promise at a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, where Arab and Muslim leaders expressed their growing alarm at Israel’s actions across the Middle East on.ft.com/3VTFe7P

This might be an unpopular take, but I wish we had the same level of outrage for people being disappeared as we did for Jimmy Kimmel. Two-thirds of detainees held at the concentration camp in the Everglades have disappeared. No record of them anywhere… Is it because Kimmel is white?

At least three more immigration judges were terminated today, incl a longtime judge at headquarters who previously served as Air Force JAG for 20+ years. Meanwhile, the gov is asking retired judges to come back as “part-time and intermittent reemployed annuitants.” www.justice.gov/legal-career...

Mockler: Hunter Biden was being investigated during Biden's term. Do you think Don Jr. Would ever be investigated by Pam Bondi? Where’s the investigation into Tom Homan?

At least we can still play softball 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks to michaelproper on IG for this gem!

⚡️Denmark shuts down airport over suspicious drone sightings for 2nd time this week. "If we get the opportunity, we will take down the drones," Danish Police Inspector Jesper Madsen said. The incident comes two days after suspicious drone activity shut down Cophenhagen Airport on Sept. 22.

The Dawn Project took Forbes for a 90 minute ride in LA using the latest version of Tesla's defective Full Self-Driving software. FSD made 7 safety critical errors including trying to drive the wrong way down a one way street and illegally blowing past a stopped school bus.

omg. Macron took the stage by saying “I have my prepared speech, but I’d like to tell you what I really think”. And SLAMMED MAGA for 20 min on nationalism, climate, Ukraine, Gaza, democratic values, global cooperation and lack of integrity. Uploading it now. Must watch. MAGA table didn’t clap

From D. L. Mayfield:

More innocent people are dead. The young white male shooter is dead. But still no conversation about the radicalization of young white men. Still no conversation about the need for gun safety legislation. Nope. That’d be politicizing the tragedy of course. No let’s just pretend this is all normal.

Tired of hearing the claim that supporting trans rights is politically toxic? I’ve got you covered. New @theadvocatebr.bsky.social : My review of recent polling telling the real story—featuring data from @teamlpac.bsky.social @celindalake.bsky.social @glaad.bsky.social @gallup.com

Elected office is not an entitlement and having members die of old age in office is failure of party discipline.

This piece is phenomenally well written and horrifying. "In the case of extreme warming, the niche moves sharply toward Canada, leaving much of the lower half of the U.S. too hot or dry for the type of climate humans historically have lived in."

This kicks ass. Bravo @aft.org @rweingarten.bsky.social 👏👏👏 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

BREAKING via @aclunm.bsky.social — ALBUQUERQUE, NM – A federal judge today ordered the immediate release of Paulo Cesar Gamez Lira, a 27-year-old DACA recipient and father of four U.S. citizen children who was unlawfully detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for 42 days.

Kristi Noem still can't confirm who was killed during the shooting at the ICE facility today and can't even confirm that the victim's family has been contacted

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the University of South Dakota to reinstate a professor who posted criticism of Charlie Kirk on his Facebook page the day of the shooting, finding the action likely violated the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Watching some Democrats continue to smear trans people at the very moment the right is trying to exterminate them is one of the most shameful things I can remember witnessing. Wrote about it for @thenation.com today. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Oh I just kind of figured everyone knew their overt hatred of trans people was masking their sexual obsession with trans people

Ric Grenell, Kennedy Center president, organized a claque of Republicans to heckle a musician critical of Trump. It's like junior high school www.washingtonian.com/2025/09/23/l...

They didn’t vote for Trump to raise wages or expand healthcare or improve the standard of living in this country. They voted for him so that they could dunk on their enemies online. Don’t take my word for it. Take theirs.

Bullet "evidence" startin' to get a little too specific and whatnot.

I’m nervous about the James Comey thing because it’s obviously not going to work and every time the Trump regime fucks up lately people get shot to distract from it.

"As a result of the internal turmoil, 131 leases expired without the government actually vacating the properties. The situation has exposed the agencies -- and therefore taxpayers -- to steep fees..." www.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

President sending your tax money to Argentina so he'll have a nest egg in case he needs to skidaddle out of here for any reason

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

So like if I was one of the four journalists credited on this story I would ask why the president needs to “sign” a deal between private corporations. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

This is the biggest self own Democrats have ever done. They handed control of the largest social media platform to far right regime allies.

Kash Patel and Kristi Noem can’t even effectively communicate the most basic of information. The mainstream press needs to stop reporting “breaking news” from MAGA Twitter accounts and tell this administration to get their shit together if they want coverage.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Negotiations have stalled. Trump keeps changing his policies. Ukrainians, backed by Europeans, are taking matters into their own hands, by targeting the Russian oil industry: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

if we are going to have online magazines for Abundance, i think a wealthy patron should fund an online magazine for electoral reform — specifically for furthering the twin causes of proportional representation and democratic revival. seems like a comparatively neglected space

Methinks the couchfucker doth protest too much

YOU try doctoring crime scene evidence in a hurry with only the items you have on you and let's see how good of a job you do, alright?

It is unethical & journalistic malpractice for media to continue publishing comments from gov officials on ICE events b4 any of the evidence has been looked at. Reporting that the gov claims it was a leftwing shooter b4 investigators have even started! How many times must they lie b4 you catch on?

JUST IN: The Trump administration's bid to coerce states to comply with immigration enforcement in order to receive disaster aid is illegal and unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Vance telling Dem politicians to essentially ‘get their followers in line’ says 2 things. 1. The Trump regime isn’t doing much counter-intelligence. 2. GOP leaders can declare that Americans will do what politicians tell them to & it doesn’t even register as an insult to MAGAs.

"Stopping Putin now is cheaper than trying to protect every port and every ship from terrorists with sea drones. Stopping Russia now is cheaper than wondering who will be the tourists to create a simple drone carrying a nuclear warhead," Zelenskyy stated.

A police officer was killed in the attack on the CDC by an antivaxxer. Trump did not mention it. Use this as a benchmark to compare how the Trump administration responds to an attack on an ICE facility to judge which federal employees are deemed worth protecting. abcnews.go.com/US/1-week-af...

Enslavers used exactly the same argument as Cruz & others—that *describing* their system of state violence was the real crime. To counter this crime of description, they created, among other things, the “gag rule.”

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint. She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that
