I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

The Pope is cooking now. www.reuters.com/world/pope-l...

“This morning, the Israeli Police prevented the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land…from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, as they made their way to celebrate the Palm Sunday Mass.”

“Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen” - yeah, it’s called watching the show, this thing is absolute dogshit!!

you all need to do more or less drugs

if you have a strong enough opinion (good or bad) about Hasan Piker, that you feel the need to look up posts about him to attack/defend him, please go the fuck outside.

House procedure is normally a snoozefest that only insiders care about. But this one is just such a perfect distillation of the incompetence in the GOP, failure of Trump as a leader and weakness of Mike Johnson. Let's roll the video tape:

Imagine the reaction if this were a woman.

yeah man this is fucking insane. i need an immediate denouncement.

damn this is bleak… ig Spanberger or Whitmer..?

the serious answer is that we need a wholesale recommitment on the left to public higher education as a high quality low/no cost public good rather than a jobs training licensing agency. I do not anticipate this happening.

Is it just me or do they only pop up on here to cry about people calling them out for their clear and obvious transphobic or Zionist bias?

People will seriously be like, "Look, sorry, but trans people are too biased to cover issues like this for mainstream news outlets," all the while here's a guy who quite literally helped spark the outrage that he acknowledges led in part to this policy change.

Kind of interesting that this piece published at The Guardian acknowledges that these changes are at least partly a response to the freak out during the 2024 Olympics about Imane Khelif, when the guy writing the piece played a role in fanning those 2024 flames. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

what a start to the game, EAT EM UP TIGERS

this is exactly why the whole "CEO of america" nonsense is DOA. this is what CEOs do. hey lets spend billions on the metaverse. whoops okay whatever. we dont need guys taking a flier on horseshit in the hopes of juicing the stocks. we need fuckin Statecraft. different shit

There are nods to things like single payer healthcare (as long as it exists as a theoretical concept paid for exclusively by billionaires with no apparent downsides) but the real ideological commitment, the thing that gets them excited, is that it's wrong to hassle people for any reason.

very cool that i now need to insert an extra level of friction before making psn purchases to ensure im not getting arbitrarily ripped off. certainly this will not lead to less impulse buys, which are of course a negligible portion of most gamer’s libraries

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

i guess those celebrating soras death didnt get the memo that some of us need daily personalized greetings from james bond—for mental health

FWIW absolutely no one I know who has expertise in spaceflight or planetary exploration thinks this is either remotely plausible or a good idea to attempt on such a timeline. The dominant reaction is somewhere on the spectrum between mockery and dismay. Real, important science was cancelled for this

For all my Lego obsessed friends

One day we will, as they kick and scream and gnash their teeth, tear down the fossil fuel industry. I have to believe it’s true. I cannot live in a world where it isn’t.

I saw Midsommar in a near-empty theater at like 9am incredibly hungover, and while i would never ever do it again, it sure did make for an immersive experience

this is the most Ann Arbor post I’ve ever seen. absolute dogshit NIMBY city

Tbh I’m not entirely sure why I even bother engaging sometimes, I am not a good communicator, and social media has constantly got people primed to expect bad-faith responses.

Facebook could have--and I mean this with no sarcasm or exaggeration whatsoever--ended world hunger for the next twelve years with what they spent to do whatever this was instead

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

man this website is always on the cutting edge of shitty, flavor-of-the-week, AI app technology

there is a real evil aura that radiates from those Trivago commercials

Buzzfeed is Bankrupt - And Bummed Folks, it's the end of an era. We're so bummed to announce that Buzzfeed is ceasing operations. But we're not the only ones buzzing about it. Bluesky user Farm Goth says, "Haha! Eat shit, buttfeed!" We're not crying, you're crying. <Schitt's Creek gif>

as Trump reportedly considers sending ground troops in to open the straight of hormuz, it's worth remembering how much extra, unnecessary danger it puts US troops in to preemptively declare "we will murder soldiers who surrender to us" (which is what "no quarter" means)

Cliché & basic point, i know, but it's really fucked up how many people refuse to ask "but how will we pay for that" about war & jail shit. Like they fully & fundamentally accept & believe in endless money taps for killing & jailing & hurting other people, but not like… food or medicine or housing.

the us is really giving the vibes of aging abusive father taking off his belt only to learn his child is now stronger than he is.

Self harmed (looked at twitter) and they got leftists sayin ZOG on there now

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter www.statesman.com/business/art...

on my relatively short list of topics id like to eventually write an essay about is the intersection of MAGA libertarianism, COVID, medical misinfo, climate change, influencer economy, and the US healthcare/insurance complex and the resulting effects on the public’s view of science/medicine.

guess I got blocked by that guy earlier but, imo, if you’ve got the self-image to publish a substack, id hope you’re at least willing to write the thing yourself instead of using chatgpt lmfao

characteristically good work from Serwer. again saying: we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

Woke 2 needs to include a complete and total purge of post-GG 4chan influence on our culture.

the most anti-health administration that has ever existed, and it isn’t even close

I can’t believe this is real

People treat them like they’re a news outlet instead of Catturd2 for libs and it’s very strange.

"in 2024, for every trump voter that we got, we lost four of our own, three to the couch..."

the campaign consultant economy relies on its close relationships with the establishment to make money lots of money. so they are happy to provide evidence and strategy that supports and justifies the leadership's priors

like some of us keep saying, it's a choice to pursue trump voters instead turning out our own base. that choice isn't about winning elections. it's about a democratic establishment that will sacrifice seats to continue preventing the progressive wing of the party from gaining power.
