no one’s more defensive than a hardware store employee lmao

delauro’s comments today pretty much confirm this

The democrats are absolutely failing to understand that the *moderate* position is abolish ICE. Too many won't act for the moral good because they think they can't keep their jobs that way. They all need to feel that the *only* way they can keep their jobs is if they actually fight for us.

could I possibly raise $122 more dollars to cover the initial $1,000 deposit I had to put down for my surgery date? That payment is due on the 18th

didn’t know i needed a Kermit the Frog x Sabrina Carpenter “Islands in the Stream” duet, but im sure glad i got one!

One thing I’ve learned that is that arguments in favor of something that does measurable harm to your community — using genAI, skipping vaccines, not wearing masks — are generally not reasoned or based in science or even deeply held beliefs. The actor simply does not want to *have to do something.*

Clapping my flippers together and honking like a harbor seal when a Super Bowl ad for a condiment or gambling app featuring two celebrities unexpectedly reveals a third celebrity as its punchline. Bouncing a ball around on my snout. My wife has to throw me a herring to get me to calm down.

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

One day I’ll be as cool as this guy

This is why I can't understand the incrementalism. There's horror shit happening to kids in these places. Horror shit. OK? That has to matter. The longer we wait the longer these kids suffer.

I cannot stand the "this is a good start" discourse. The Democrats in Congress do not want to abolish ICE. They have proposed a series of bog-standard reforms regurgitated by a think tank. Everyone knows they do not work. The Democrats supporting this do not care. They just want to move on.

i appreciate that you described the razor-edged pendulum swinging back and forth above us, and noted in detail that it is also slowly descending towards the table we're strapped to. and yet i can't help but ask why you failed to condemn these acts or make clear to your audience that they are bad?

just remembered that this exists and is exceedingly pleasant. if you want to see some high quality indie comedy-horror, you need to check this out. really a breath of fresh air

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

These numbers are simply incredible. It's very clear that most ordinary people have figured out that ICE is not remotely functioning as a law enforcement agency any longer and that none of this is about enforcing the law in any recognizable sense.

After a lengthy appeals process and productive discussion with the Blue Sky safety team I will no loinger be sending George Thorogood lyrics to beautiful women on here via DM. Thank you all

Lol they suspended dril, great work to the morons running this place

The reaction to a genuine US public shift regarding Palestine (particularly among Democratic voters) has been for some of these liberal Zionists to go completely off the right-wing conspiratorial deep end at a speed previously only achieved by transphobes

man i love taking a big swig of mcdonalds coke and feeling it dissolve everything inside my stomach like Drano

If anybody thinks this is a joke

exactly. this is not difficult. as.ft.com/r/58ed1b23-d...

i think of this tweet once a week

This is a very shocking profile of Mace that nonetheless makes no mention of her obsessive and abusive behavior towards trans people in Congress, one of the more dangerous manifestations of her desperate addiction to attention

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

I can't quarantine Mr. Sharpie in another room any more because he's figured out he can move the vent covers. This guy is walking around in the ducts like John fucking McClane.

Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

" they expect one of us to be in the wreckage, brother"

call me the beacons of minas tirith, cuz im lit

One effect of the gendered split in the US political imagination, in which liberals are feminized and conservatives are masculinized, is that liberals’ opposition to the right is cast as disavowed sexual desire. Liberals secretly want fascism, in this view, the same way women secretly want rape.

damn RIP Catherine O’Hara, what a terrible loss

I know it’s been said a million times but it’s pretty funny how many short king steroid comedians with corny ass manchild tattoos called themselves free speech warriors right up until the moment free speech was actually under attack.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Great question. Get people that are priced out of new hardware hooked more on f2p and subs and slowly raise the temp of the water over time through price increases and fomo driven mtx most likely.

Anyways, expecting hardware prices to keep going up, for more premium targeted accessories to be made available, and for even more creative ways of packaging games into fancy editions at higher price points. Idea will continue to be to drive higher ARPU from a more concentrated console audience.

two thoughts: a) i imagine they won’t enjoy one of the major job perks being taken away (ability to harass and assault random citizens) and b) they do not seem to have the discipline or track record to follow this order

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

second sitting black congressperson to be assaulted in the past week. all the violence seems to be coming from one side, and it ain’t ours

My favorite tactic of the Democrats is when they proudly introduce a bill that says "things that are already crimes are now illegal".

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.

When the CBP or ICE agent that Stephen Miller is trying to get killed dies, it is extremely important that every member of the media be told, repeatedly and loudly, that they wanted this and that people called it out in advance.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

This martyr could be any of us. He is doing what so many of us have been trained to do. Standing and recording on his phone, trying to warn his neighbors, and now he’s dead because armed, masked federal paramilitaries are acting with impunity to perform ethnic cleansing.

glorilla’s rap game go fuckin crazy, easily my fav in the game rn

this has flown under the radar, but we are doing third-country detention in a country with a worse human rights record than North Korea

smoking weed with kash patel and his eyes scare you so bad you call the police on yourself

They like cops so much that all we’re getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops
