People who traffic children for sex see no problem trafficking grown men for forced labor. If only we had a word for trafficking grown men for forced labor.

Charging fees on any facility that houses or supports these thugs is a good tactic. Bleed every dollar from the building owners who rent or sell to them.

Stop saying the special election in Texas “unnerved Republicans.” Good people everywhere are relieved that voters are waking up to the truth and voting for hope. The ones being “unnerved” are entrenched radicals, not all Republicans. Reduce divisive language, please.

Back in 2009 I joked about making charitable donations to the “CEO Legal Defense Fund” during my fundraising presentations. People laughed because that was before the timeline split and we ended up in the stupidest timeline.

The world has decided the US will be essentially irrelevant in the “new world order” as EU makes major trade deals with India and South America. The US is a union of sovereign states. It may be time for a rethink. After all, one of the two major parties is ignoring the Constitution already.

This must surely be recognized by the rank and file for what it is: punishing a scapegoat to protect the top brass from the consequences of their own failed policies and incompetence.

It can get lower!

I understand this is complicated, but I don’t see why FIFA couldn’t move all US games to the other host countries.

I will never understand why professional sports in the USA play the USA’s national anthem before starting. It’s baffled me my entire adult life.

Every country seems deeply alarmed that birth rates are going down, but what if—hear me out—as a species we are simply evolving a new way of staying sustainable without war?

i really need yall to be as skeptical about supposed left-wing news as you are about right-wing news. if it's not a source you already know and trust, vet before you share. lotta ragebait purveyors out there.

I suggest we stop calling for the “release of the Epstein files” and start calling for “cessation of the Epstein cover-up

What a massive role reversal and redemption arc if Germany ends up using Greenland as the staging point for a land invasion of the USA to defeat fascism.

AI is the first disruptive technology that has been launched non-consensually at a societal level. It’s not realistic to opt out of AI completely. Possible? Maybe. Realistic? No.

just have AI take this on

To paraphrase A.R. Moxon, there is a difference between a swear word and an obscenity. What ICE is doing is an obscenity. And anger is the correct response to an obscenity. Swear words are just a symptom of anger. The problem is the obscenity, not the swear words, and we all fucking know it.

As all my male musician friends have told me, nothing says traditional marriage and parenthood like spending all your time on tour.

It has been a rough couple of days for me. Not "my wife was just murdered next to me by a uniformed thug" rough, but still.

Of course they fucking are. Still: keep demanding they fight. Pressure works.

At some point, I realized people victim-blame out of fear. They don't want to live with the reality that terrible things could happen to them. So they tell themselves the person who did have a terrible thing happen to them must have deserved it somehow. But THEY don't, therefore they're safe.

Welp. Just got on here, and I think I'm going to get off again. May her memory be a blessing. May her memory grant some peace to all who loved her. May her memory spark a cleansing fire that burns down every bit of the evil that did this to her, Amen.

This is deplorable.

I used to root for my alma mater’s players in NFL games. The transfer portal has made this all but impossible, removing the last thing that made me care even a little bit about pro football.

Never forget. 🇺🇸

The problem with the US is that we have a Hollywood Cowboy complex. We demand to be the hero of every story while simultaneously rejecting any responsibility for our own antisocial behavior. Worse, we idolize that type of character. We have to stop electing perpetrators who believe they are heroes.

I know they would never do it, but I would love to see FIFA move all the US-hosted WC26 games to cities in the co-host countries, Canada and Mexico.

Mood.

The party of Unintended Consequences has just made another bold move.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

If you flee a city because of who just got inaugurated as mayor, you don’t love the city. You love pretending you’re part of the power in-group.

Happy for all my friends in Eugene, Oregon right now. One thing I noticed when I moved here is you can’t go fifteen steps without seeing someone in Ducks gear. There’s great Cal spirit in Berkeley, but it doesn’t come close to the dominance of the Ducks in this town.

There was that one day when everyone assumed he was probably dead.

ChatGPT is creating an entire generation of Christian de Neuvillettes and Lena Lamonts.

Toby Morton, a 'South Park' alum, bought www.trumpkennedycenter.org months ago on a hunch that the ridiculously vain Donald Trump would rename the Center. Donald’s stupidity is only exceeded by his predictability.

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

There is no such thing as a generous billionaire.

Why keep them if they won’t pay taxes? They just take up more square footage, water, and electricity per capita.

Watched House of Dynamite last night. If you make fictional characters and give them a fictional problem, I want you to tell me their fictional outcomes. I do not need a 2 hour “what would you do” hypothetical setup. It’s not provocative or edgy. It’s artistic malpractice. Finish the story.

Also the name of my next band

Citing racist pop culture from 75 years ago as a justification of how America could be “great” again is just exposing that MAGA has always been Make America Racist Again.

What do the Bible, the US Constitution, and the Epstein Files have in common?

Happy Christmas from the menagerie.

If you told me I had to watch @calfootball.bsky.social lose a bowl game on a last minute comeback, that #HawaiiBowl is how I would have written the script. Hoping all the Bears enjoyed not spending the holiday in Shreveport.

Best TV innovation of 2025: Sling day pass. Hawaii Bowl in :30. #GoBears

Wow that’s WAY more than 11,780

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

I don’t understand this. All it does is confirm that politics and theater are becoming indistinguishable. An appropriate official of the city should be doing this. 🤦‍♂️

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

I would like to see headlines stop saying “threaten to impeach” and start saying “move to impeach” Bondi. k thx
