This one has my official Killington00 Seal of Approval

This guy sucks

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

if you like retro video game content but are interested in something different than the usual coverage, Basement Brothers / PC-88 Paradise is just absolutely fantastic stuff their Neo Geo series is also good, though not quite as exotic IMO

Thinking on this more, I think we need to re-arrange our thinking to get on the "Steam is a monopoly!" wavelength. Is Steam the only place to buy PC games? Not even close. So what are they monopolizing? They're monopolizing.. the attention and interests of game-buyers

It's not so much a monopoly as the only game in town. Imagine if you had one really nice movie theater in your town, and 3-4 others that didn't have seats, smelled like shit, and cost about the same amount. But they occasionally had free showings. The alternatives are just terrible.

I'm starting to feel like Matt Yglesias' big thing is just pissing off bluesky. He doesn't have an argument. He doesn't have policy positions to support anymore. He just jumps from ridiculous stance to ridiculous stance to justify whatever gets some hate on bluesky.

I will support any New York mayoral candidate who admits bodegas are just convenience stores and everywhere in the world has them

I'm sure a Democrat running against a Republican is totally comparable to a Democrat running against... a Democrat with apparent support from leading Democrats

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

Is social media dying? How much has Twitter changed as it became X? Which party now dominates the conversation? Using nationally representative ANES data from 2020 & 2024, I map how the U.S. social media landscape has transformed. Here are the key take-aways 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2510.25417

We should never forget that this synagogue was targeted specifically because of their work with HIAS on refugee rights. Seven years later, we should honor their legacy by fighting antisemitism, but also by continuing to do the work of supporting refugee resettlement and migrant rights.

I'm developing a way of categorizing top tier comedians based on whether they have mastered comedy or have embodied it

I bet Chicago can land at least one more world religion, if it plays its cards right

RIP to everyone killed by Isaac Chotiner for their hubris but im different. and better. maybe even better than Isaac Chotiner

Lol, I would call this shameful and be-clowning, but, of course, it's enough just to mention that it's Jacobin.

boy is that true. in 2022-3, burrito taxis going up got about ten thousand times more attention online than the fact that it was the best labor market for low income workers in like 60 years

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

Hey, friends. This has popped up here. You may want to block them, as they are not actual Canadian news. In fact, the government here does not recognize their “reporters.” They are funded by dark money to spread disinformation and outright lies. You’re further ahead watching SNL update.

Nazi tattoos are disqualifying, no exceptions

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Nothing that any elected Democrat has ever said about Republican voters is ever as crass or as cruel as what Trump says about Democratic constituencies every single day, and the media just treats it as background noise.

Centrists walking around like, "where's the Only a Few Kings protest?"

If you haven't seen One Battle After Another yet, I'd check it out soon.

We can’t trust the government with this power, better leave it in the hands of a private citizen who uses it to build a child militia

I am sad to say that this joke would've been better than the actual recipient of the prize

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

new polls website just dropped fiftyplusone.news

I was working an entire essay on this very notion this summer and this is reminding me I should pick it back up. TL;DR - every price is someone else's income and whether prices going down on something is "good" depends a whole lot on what you do for a living.

the Nobel Peace Prize committee should hint that a "U.S. President" is a likely recipient and then give Obama a second one

I'm under attack

Tressie, herself, wrote a whole Op-Ed on how it was unfortunate that the Poors were costing too much to hire, and that we should put them in their place

Is there anyone who was once as fêted as Merkel who has now been as beclowned? Giuliani is probably the only other person, though at a smaller scale.

this is an excellent joke

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

to put an even finer point on it: the percentage of U.S. adults who say they “strongly disapprove” of Trump‘s job as president (about 46-50% of adults) is significantly higher than the percent of adults who voted for him (about 32% of adults)

🚨🚨trailer for CHAIR COMPANY🚨🚨 Created by Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin, starring Tim, premieres October 12 on HBO Max

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

How’s that for timing www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

This is extrajudicial execution, without any clear threat to the US, no authorization from Congress, and far beyond even Article II. The military is not the president's personal hit squad. Or wasn't, until now.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

When you’re the paper of record and have definitely understood the franchise up until this point

Kind of weird how Roberts declared the VRA preclearance to rest on dated and unfair assumptions about the South and within 15 years the former Confederate states will have effectively eliminated almost every black district within those states.

In all seriousness, I'd love to see a reporter try to get comments from all of these people about their initial impulse to declare a literal war on half of their fellow citizens and to see if any of them regret it, apologized for it or learned anything at all from it.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

There is simply no value to Democrats in helping with passing budgets or CRs when the administration claims limitless arbitrary impoundment and rescission powers.

One day they should make a Star Wars IX

This particular insight is about immigration, but sadly it can be applied to just about any public policy *at all*. I don't think we've come anywhere near to realizing the degree to which Republicans have completely abandoned any kind of factual basis for their preferred policies.

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.
