First, Trump told the world Tylenol causes Autism. Then, he got up in front of the entire U.N. and told him they all of their countries are going to hell. This is fucking embarrassing.

If Joe Biden had told the country to stop taking Tylenol, ERs across America would've been full of MAGA chuds who immediately ate a whole bottle that night.

Disney fired and unfired Jimmy Kimmel the right way. by Ezra Klein

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

Its so obviously false on its face that barely anyone is even taking the time to debunk this "Tylenol causes autism" thing.

RFK: Ok we're gonna do a study. Mothers of children with autism... how many of you took Tylenol while pregnant? Ok, see? That's most of them. Study over.

Disney reverses course on Kimmel. Lessons: -Trump's anti-Constitutional stances, anti-1A in this case, are unpopular -Popular resistance via expression and spending choices can have an impact -Many corporate leaders are weak, amoral people who'll bow to threats unless they face countervailing ones

This is the absolute funniest thing imaginable.

Folks! Come join the combined Mutant Menace/Save Your Game discord! Chat with me, Pat, Roses and your friends about X-Men, Adventure Games, Hanson Swanson, Deals and Steals or whatever other bullshit that's on your mind! discord.gg/rEwuSmfU

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Hey all, @mattaukamp.bsky.social and I set up a discord server for Save Your Game & Mutant Menace. We were getting quite a few requests for one, so here it is. discord.gg/yFXTrYaY

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

When I see someone sitting alone at a social function, I have never once in my life regretted pulling up to them and starting a conversation.

This little twerp was bullied in high school, not for being a nerd, but for being an annoying and mean little antagonize. And since then, he's waited his entire hateful life for this moment - the moment he could strike back at everyone kinder, smarter, cooler, and more capable than him.

Between this, the FCC Chair's overreach on Kimmel, and their taking control of the TikTok algorithm, they are commandeering the media. None of this is hypothetical or doomsaying any more. They are implementing a North Korea style state-run media apparatus.

Ok so state-controlled media, huh? The White House is going to literally control the media.

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

Part of me thinks that Ezra Klein's pivot to "Can't we all just get along?" is his play to avoid the eventual Trump thought-crime death camps.

Replace them all. Primary every single one. They are useless to us as we fight this autocracy.

Who would've thought one of the points of momentum for resistance to the Trump regime would center around Jimmy fucking Kimmel?

We have officially reached "Michael Eisner would never have done this" levels of corporate spinelessness in compliance with fascism.

@midimyers.com Hey Maddy! I'm a big fan, and would love to have you as a guest on my podcast, Mutant Menace, to chat about some issues of the X-Men some time. Would you be interested in that at all?

Cool. I'm glad there's a law against it, but I 100% guarantee that no one will enforce it against the Trump administration.

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air. This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

I think if you're at all a rational person you recognize that there is nothing that this administration would not do. No censorship, no murder, no corruption that they'd stop at. They're 100% all in on this and Republicans are 100% on board with it. All that matters is how we react.

THEY. ARE. GETTING. AWAY. WITH. EVERYTHING.

These sentences - “we are going to have to live here with each other believing what we believe. Disagreeing in the ways we disagree." - do nothing to reckon w/ how one side is EXPLICIT abt not wanting to “live here with each other.” They’re trying to eradicate whole categories of people!

What a time to be alive.

it is really important for news outlets to be clear (unlike the nyt here) that Kimmel was suspended not because of some grassroots backlash but because ABC caved to threats from the head of the FCC

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Ok. I will do it. I will listen to the 2-hour Ezra Klein/Ben Shapiro podcast. I will attempt to remain calm and not bash my speakers in.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy ...that doesn't mean the rest of us have to do so: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

A wonderful discussion of Rosewater! Thanks so much @mattaukamp.bsky.social and @pushinguproses.bsky.social for the kind words :) youtu.be/rcdNLogVE9Y?...

cato institute analysis of murders by political ideology since 1975, excluding 9/11

The destruction of the Gaza city mosque is a devastating loss to humanity as a whole. A part of our global medieval heritage destroyed in furtherance to a genocide. I despair.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Russia designated the 'LGBT Movement' as a terrorist organisation. They know there is no such group; that's the point. It means they can choose to arrest ANYONE with any association with LGBT issues and treat them as a terrorist. The fact that 'antifa' is not a group should not be a comfort here.

The Supreme Court just ruled that stopping and detaining a person based solely on their RACE is now legal. This is a plain constitutional violation and a violation of legal precedent, as well as the founding principles of the United States. We are not *slipping into* fascism; We are there.

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

This is an article that @ezraklein.bsky.social should read, as one of the most disappointing people to normal-wash Kirk's violent extremist rhetoric.

Any news organization with a shred of decency would fire Brian Kilmeade immediately. There is no gray area about this.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves. The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

It’s almost like there’s a pattern we should watch for more carefully.

Totally normal country. Totally normal world.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

"I think we have him" is the funniest possible thing a President could say about the FBI that HE BUILT arresting a political assassination suspect.

When an utterly evil person dies, and the culture has not universally recognized this evil person as "evil", the most effective thing we can do is stop saying their name so that their memory fades and their legacy can do less and less damage over time.

We could keep raising security everywhere in the US constantly until there's a cop every 10 yards in all directions. OR we could pass more comprehensive gun control. It's a real head-scratcher, this question.
