Don’t worry, he’s on it!

Went out on Castro street last night and the energy was just incredible, especially after the Sam Smith show got out. I can’t believe people were complaining about the Theater renovation and its use as a concert venue.

the level of people currently scrambling to blame democrats for trump's attack on iran is off the fucking charts

Look they bought him on as a vibrant voice of young conservatives two decades ago and they’re not going to let a little thing like his writing, age, moral idiocy or lack of talent change that decision.

“From what we can gather, Chopra has been deliriously wandering the now largely uninhabited Epstein Island for years, crying out for food and forbidden eros,” said independent analyst Gina Mosley

War is not a morality play. The relevant question isn’t: Are the targets bad people who have done bad things? The relevant question is: Will going to war make things better, achieving something that’s worth the death and suffering it causes?

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

Huh I wonder why the right wing billionaires who own all the major social platforms fill my lefty friends' feeds with "leftist" content about how the Democrats are awful and there's no point voting for them because it won't bring any real change. No reason, I'm sure.

yeah this is light work

The US has allegedly included a demand for Iran to demolish its nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Each of these facilities was also allegedly destroyed in June, with 14 GBU-57 bombs specifically designed for the purpose as well as Tomahawk missiles and other munitions.

Keeping the buildings the same does not preserve a community. When you make it illegal to build new housing at the high end of the market, rich people just buy up existing less-expensive housing and renovate it into luxury homes.

RIP Jesse Singal, who has died in an accident. Someone painted a road tunnel on a wall with a sign that said "Trans Clinic (Barefoot Only)" and he drove a Tesla into it at 275km/h, destroying all his bones instantly. Musk fans are calling it an "Epic Bacon way to go"

America is falling behind

Anyway I knew I was officially old and uncool when I went to see my favorite DJs at an illegal gay warehouse rave, then left after 20 minutes because I realized that the venue didn't have enough fire exits.

80s Anime Producer: put some english text here. it doesn’t matter, nobody outside japan is gonna see this Production Assistant: you got it boss 🍺

Phrases in Trump's SOTU: Blood all over. Gushing blood. Pouring blood. Bleeding profusely. Shot in the head. Shot violently. Violently murdered. Brutally extinguished. Shredding his leg. Lying dead in a bathtub. Viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body. Searing pain. The edge of death.

Being a Marxist in 2026 is like if liberals called themselves "Tocquevilleans" and pored over Tocqueville's writings for clues as to what position to take on current issues.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

very funny to me to see folks who have no social media presence outside of twitter say you have to be on twitter to be influential

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs aren’t costs.

American leftism will never achieve power if the response to getting peed on while taking public transit is “toughen up” public spaces should be safe and pleasant, and that shouldn’t be a hot take

The framing of data voids and AI data stuffing as “scams” (cf the WIRED article) is hopelessly optimistic. These engines are platforms designed for businesses to operate on top of. This *is* the business model for which the platform design is optimized, not an abuse of an otherwise working platform.

I (don't) hate to say this, but basically if you're looking for a political affiliation in the year 2026 that won't force you to eventually climb into bed with and defend some kind of fascist, authoritarian, or general bigot, you have precisely one option, and that's unapologetic liberalism.

A Japanese Twitter user goes to an American Denny's for the first time & finds them much different than their Japanese namesakes, with "pancakes containing as much sugar as we eat in a week." Their conclusion? "I wish every Denny's in Japan were an American Denny's."

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

the real hot take is that democrats are the actual party of capitalism (complimentary) but neither capital nor democrats want to acknowledge that for reasons that have nothing to do with economics in either case

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

We are going to stop the killings on the streets of San Francisco.

We’re back, baby!

the thing that really pisses me off when i'm being strafed by enemy aircraft is knowing this guy's fuckin sitting down up there. if anyone should get to have a chair it's me

Like I said, the idea that this is gonna be a "win" for Trump bc voters will think tariffs are fully gone is nonsense. He's gonna spend the next 8 months aggressively talking about and trying to still do tariffs!

"The judge upbraided the Meta team and said if you guys have recorded anything, you have to dispose of it or I will hold you in contempt," Jacob Ward, a technology journalist and the host of the Rip Current Podcast, told CBS News, calling the incident "an extraordinary misstep" by Meta.
