This rules, this is the way to name a kid. Stop all the bullshit with baby name gurus and just pick the two movies you went to last, pick two characters in those movies. Boom you’ve got a kid named Zora Galactus, you were never gonna pick a name that good Hollywood did it for you.

Post something random or you’ll have an awful December

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

This lady is not your friend.

Jefferson raped Sally Hemings and tried denying it. It is rumored that Hemings had several lighter children believed to be Jefferson’s. So Ivanka using this as an example, really?

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

Who's gonna tell him

Yeah whoever jacked up tariffs on coffee from Brazil earlier this year must be a real bonehead

Ms. Rachel 2028

Rogan, talking about Zohran Mamdani: "What else has he done that makes him a swindler?" Musk: " Um, well, I, I guess if you say, uh, what I mean, if you, if say, if you say..."

This stuff is almost always just someone extrapolating from the people in their own life. Jake Tapper has a 15-year-old son, a fact I only know because he got very publicly upset when some random podcaster made fun of how his son wants to be a cop. “Gen Z” is probably one 15-year-old boy he knows

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

I do think we have a pretty good chance of turning gambling into a genuine popular moral crusade 19th century style, because it's becoming a social evil that's destroying young men's lives in particular but also making sports coverage really shit.

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

I don’t even know what to say anymore except that his sense of impunity with regard to the use of lethal force will likely eventually inform his actions toward us as well.

Much like Hillsborough, you have to marvel at how Britain as a system is so utterly impervious to accountability: decades of orchestrated bullshit, legal shenanigans and institutional roadblocks, and then one final great rasping fart of “maybe it was elves that did it, and fuck you”.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

It’s almost like when you don’t have a rabidly trans-hostile media ecosystem, people generally support human rights. lens.monash.edu/@politics-so...

I hate how fucking clever this phony piece of shit thinks he is, it’s like Rachel Dolezal but for ever living without a cleaning lady

AI has lost the dunce vote. It’s over

I can’t wait for tomorrow

This is exactly what we need. This is it. "New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

the only thing people want to do on Sora, it seems, is generate images of copyrighted characters. now that they can't, they're crashing the fuck out www.404media.co/sora-2-conte...

Beyond the fact that legal immigrants and tourists can attend the Super Bowl, I find it absolutely hilarious that they're gonna have ICE harassing a bunch of rich people. Tickets are almost $10k. Please own the libs harder.

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

Unfortunately, this is going to be the last magnet fishing post for a while, because the magnet got stuck on what i believe was a car abandoned in the river and when i tried to pull it out with my car the rope snapped (RIP magnet) but at least i found one last hilarious thing. Oh, the memories!

If we're finally going to crack down about lying to Congress under oath, I think there are several Cabinet members and a few Supreme Court justices whose testimonies might need revisiting.

This is SO fucked up. A sarcastic "Some of our friends" yeah man those people who hate the idea we can't just assault women are terrible

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

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

yeah man nobody on the left goes into conservative strongholds to have real conversations with real people

Obviously this is all horrible but it’s pretty funny that everyone on the right keeps being like “Our vengeance will be swift and unyielding” and “The cry of the Valkyrie calls us to war” and then they just go and get Jimmy Kimmel fired.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

“Debate Me” culture is not organic, endemic, or apolitical. This mode of high jacking discourse is and has been central to a 30-year conservative training program that has produced untold numbers of people to do this for every reason but “civil discourse”

I’m more used to saying this to people on the Left than people on the Right, but, “hate speech” is not an exception to the First Amendment. “Hate speech” is protected by the First Amendment unless it falls into a traditional established exception.

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

If you want to dress well this fall, imagine yourself as Big Jim Collie, a Scottish crofter in the 1970s who lived alone in a bothy and rode a rickety old bicycle through the Lairig Ghru, the highest mountain pass in the highest mountain range in Britain, while sustaining himself on a bit of dram.

Every parent in America must make sure their kids aren't being brain-poisoned online. What are they seeing in chats? Who are they talking to? What about their friends? What do those random nonsense things they're saying actually mean? This is our job now. Lives depend on it.

Violating my "no Bluesky during football season" tenets to parachute in and say that my weird obsession with far right splinter groups and their shibboleths has finally made me the expert on something. The shooter wrote 4 shitpost memes on bullets and every single one of them is a dumb groyper meme

this is a poorly worded post that makes it sound like rns published an opinion piece by thiel, but actually it’s an interesting (and disapproving) look at what thiel has been saying lately

New Mexico is such a fascinating success story because it's the only solid blue state that's also poor by US standards and despite theoretically having the least tax base to work with they quietly roll out some new social democratic policy every year

The belief that poverty and homelessness are about "individual choices" didn't arise on its own. It was manufactured through decades of messaging designed to protect the policies and interests that create mass precarity. As this new poll shows, that propaganda campaign has been wildly successful.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.
