I can't believe people would steal from France at a time when America is unconscious on the ground with money falling from its pockets.

And they’re just being forced to do it? Shit, I think there should be a law or an amendment preventing involuntary servitude.

Amazing that “No kings and no Nazis” is suddenly a controversial slogan and up for debate in 2025. These are the two most basic creeds of American history.

The entire confederate south should’ve been dissolved into federal territory with states later redrawn and entered into the union after a second constitutional congress to remove all the slavery concessions within it

Actual advice for Europeans offering advice for protesting in the US: GFY.

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

[best read with a French accent] “I am so very sorry sir, without a reservation, there is simply nothing I can do for you.”

Did you know a group of bison is called a “perfidiousness”?

Someone hands Amelia a camera. “We want you to shoot the Baroness when she comes to town.”

so where do the shitheads fit in then

love u Italy but you also have a fusion cuisine like everybody else and that’s Fine

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Pretty sure that when you have giant frogs everywhere, God is very disappointed in how you are treating immigrants.

One of the things we have to do is require police officers to wear slightly doofy uniforms again. Powder blue, short sleeves, conductor’s hats, dress shoes, stripes down the legs. It won’t solve everything, but dressing like a mass murderer causes more mental harm than you’d think, too.

They're all just so boring.

It's not that I won't vote for Gavin Newsom if he's the presidential candidate. It's that if the Democratic Party chooses him, then they are communicating to me that they actively do not want my vote, and believe they don't need it. I will simply honor their wishes

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

and scene

"too"

meanwhile at the Riyadh Comedy Festival

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

ummm.. holy shit? tool use in bovids confirmed? holy holy shit?

Regular test to see if @moderation.bsky.app is more prudish than the Victorians. If they auto-label this 1900 trick film as "graphic" you know they still are.

one of the crazier things you see people say out loud is "you made me this way" -- really man? you're just going to admit to being that weak minded?

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

I keep thinking about making a typographically nice site where you can put in one number and then a second and it will show you: * what percentage of the first number the second is * what percentage *greater or smaller* the second number is * how many *times* the second number is of the first.

“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞 👉🏻 archive.ph/ewBhT

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

I cannot believe literally have people asking me "but where's the EVIDENCE that Charlie Kirk was homophobic." Well "friends," I have your back. Please enjoy this thread of examples that took me all of a nanosecond to find. If you want more, I'm sure it's out there. Go look for it yourself, I'm done.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

i see another journalist at the atlantic is employing the "you can't prove i'm acting in bad faith, what if i'm actually this stupid" defense

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

"I wish we could blame this on muslims or migrants, but turns out it was one of us." what a wild thing to say

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed. spitfirenews.com/p/the-nation...

oh my god someone slashed our tire

"Does that mean he deserved to die?" See, this isn't the discussion. The discussion is about how every commentator is now painting Kirk to be someone who just wanted to engage with all people everywhere and suuuuure we disagreed on things but his quest was worthy. It wasn't.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit. Come at me, Bluesky moderation, you fucking assholes.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

Just so everyone is clear who we're, uhh, eulogizing today: A guy who made a career on getting people to believe this shit. (Reposted with ALT)

The most piercing judgments of Charlie Kirk I see today are the ones that simply quote his words for all to hear. What a legacy he earned.

xAI has a $200 million contract with the Department of Defense to provide... whatever this is.

"Violence is never the answer, here is a snuff film." Jesus people.

No people on the planet will ever be AI. This is Orwellian bullshit. Zero people will ever be AI. This is no different from saying half the people in the country are television characters. Do not let anybody convince you that you don’t know the difference between a human being and a machine.

every birthday message to epstein is like "dear jeff, you're so rich and so handsome but probably the thing about you i love most is that you're a prolific child predator. never change <3"

Them: but what about Bill Cli All of us:
