happy 4th of july everyone

it works

CABO VERDE YOU LISTEN TO ME! IF YOU’RE NEAR A CONVENIENCE STORE RIGHT NOW, ANY TYPE OF 24-HOUR STORE, GO INTO THE STORE RIGHT NOW AND PUT YOUR HAND IN THE CASH REGISTER FOR NO REASON! THEIR MONEY IS YOUR MONEY AS OF RIGHT NOW

I'm seeing a lot of discourse like this, and genuinely, do they not realize why this isn't persuasive to voters after he becomes president again? You can argue that she played her hand as well as she could, but why would anyone care when the results are clear?

It's just like MAGA, except it wants a more tolerant, egalitarian society, where everyone has healthcare and the material prerequisites of a life of dignity. I guess from the perspective of the theater critics in media, that difference is invisible.

My friend just texted me "no goal is offsides on stolen land" 😭😭😭

this post is a reminder that Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) is the enemy, not digital-only content we can scrape and back up CDNs and decryption keys! we can fight the restrictions imposed upon us, and this is by no means a battle we are losing. not giving up to doomerism that easily bucko

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

By "split" we mean more than 85% of the caucus voted for Tlaib's bill

One thing that's undeniably true is that throughout all of 2023 and 2024 we were told that if we wanted better politics on Palestine we need to elect better Democrats and now that we're doing that we're being told not to do that lol

Re Dem primaries, a lot of people in the party and the surrounding institutions really bought into the idea that resistance didn’t work and “the groups” were the source of all evil and now they’re caught flat footed

If you can’t handle me at my worst (eating cake with my hands in the shower), then you don’t deserve me at my best (eating cake with a fork in the shower)

This is a great reminder that although EVs have environmental benefits they are just as dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists — if not more dangerous than gas-powered cars when you factor in the weight and acceleration.

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

“Parents rights” is an extremist right wing ideology that asserts that children are property and not human beings. This does not end when they turn 18.

COMMENTATOR FOR MY RETURN TO ISS AFTER 7 hr 20 min SPACEWALK: this completes his first spacewalk, and the first spacewalk performed entirely with a helmet on backwards ME: CAN SOMEONE GET MY EARBUDS OUT

the FIRST journalist to leak all the Jesse Singal Pederasty National Child Sexual Abuse Planning Group Chats is the one who gets amnesty. the thin blue by-line WILL fall☝️

I found a place. You go in and at first it just looks like a fairgrounds. Then you keep going and you realize none of it makes any sense. Imagine describing a dog to someone who’s never seen one before and asking them to draw it.

Sorry I was absent from my job as the Baby Healthcare Slasher. I had depression for reasons that I’m sure are entirely unrelated to that. Anyways back to my job giving everyone infectious diseases and driving teenagers to suicide.

It is not hard to imagine any of this, either. When I played sports as a kid, I remember sore loser parents accusing certain kids of faking their age to play, despite zero evidence. 9 times outta 10 those kids were children of color.

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

check. mate.

Anyway, shit ass supreme court ruling means every birthright baby now has the mandate to militantly weaponize their status. That was already the case but no more chicken shitting from some of you.

5-4 on maybe the most straightforward question ever put to the test in postwar history is genuinely an abomination. Destroy the Court.

I’m getting offline but I just want to say before I go that I hope these fuckers die screaming

5-4 instead of 9-0. Just a completely illegitimate institution at this point.

anyway, while i’m sure the shitforbrains liberal conlaw types will be rushing to offer Nuance here, law is fake and court-packing is a litmus test

And you know for a fact that this is the actual question because Mamdani actually says Israel has the right to exist, as a state of all its citizens, but everyone who insists on this question takes this to mean Israel shouldn't exist. Why? Because Israel is constitutionally not of its citizens.

The question being asked is never actually "does a country called Israel have the "right" to exist", the question being asked is 'does Israel, the Jewish state, have the right to be Jewish at the expense of all its non-Jews, its neighboring states, and at any cost".

Dr. Oz seemingly not understanding how insurance works is precisely the point here, since it is almost assuredly going to be used as a pretense to take away millions of people's healthcare.

scenes without mommy’s face in them are unnecessary in movies. it does nothing to advance the story of where did mommy go

There should be a social group called Friends of Garfield where men eat lasagna together

“Do you want the last modelo?”— Did the SCOTUS steal the 2000 presidential election on behalf of George W. Bush thus beginning the American Century of Humiliation?

Yeah. No. I don't think this is right.

The right: listen, if we don't *immediately* get teenagers pregnant in concentration camps the world will literally end Normal people: what the fuck Centrist dems: woah there, you sound like a dirty commie. The adults in the room are talking. Give us between $5 and $50 to continue talking.

Everything is like this now One of the battles of our generation will be to destroy all efforts to dismiss truth as a central ingredient for how we process the world I remember when JD Vance said he doesn’t regret lying about Haitians because ‘it started a conversation’ It’s why I hate GenAI too.

denocratic socialists: [wins elections] centrist democrats: no, thank you

These things are the worst and so dangerous. I can't tell you how many horrific accidents involving the Duck Boats happened in Philly. People died. One got hit by a trash barge too.
