When I was a kid we had a button you could push to hear music that you couldn't imagine, it was called the power switch on the radio

#OtD 29 Nov 1947 the UN passed resolution 181 recommending partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states. Approved by the US, USSR and others, it gave 56% of land to the Jewish state despite Jews being only 32% of the population. More in our podcast: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e86-...

Indeed. The "Western Civilization" they like is Nero, Columbus, and Hitler at the apex of their power. They hate all the rest of it, especially the art, philosophy, and democracy. Hence stuff like their confusion and outrage when the Olympic ceremonies included the Olympian God of Festivals.

Two things are true. A: journalism is not a monolith, lots of journalists are continuing to do principled work and do not carry water for fascism, don’t burn down the whole industry over Nuzzi. B: she’s absolutely emblematic of the problems with elite and access journalism.

he fell victim to one of the classic blunders! the most famous of which is, ‘never answer the phone for isaac chotiner,’ but only slightly less well-known is this: ‘never behave in a manner which causes derek guy to critique your fashion choices’

This being named a NYT Notable Book of 2025 seems to prove it's thesis

Look, we all agree this is amazing. But we used to live comfortable in the understanding that you had to invite Chotiner in, like a vampire. Now we know that Chotiner might strike at any time, like a velociraptor.

jfc. It was determined by a US judge that she could not be deported to Sierra Leone due to danger she would face in the country she fled. So they deported her to Ghana, a country she had never been to, and Ghana deported her to Sierra Leone. This country is fucking sick. Deeply deeply fucking sick

I understand why people are focusing on the, uh, considerable baggage of both people, but also, “let’s have Alan Dershowitz and Dana Loesch debate gun control” isn’t a bold or daring new idea, it’s what a Piers Morgan producer who fell into a glacier in 2013 would say upon being revived.

95% of authors are not making a living through book publishing. The public needs to understand this.

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they overturned women’s constitutional right to an abortion three years ago

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

this is all joe bidens fault more than it is anyones fault on earth. fuck him. we don't have to be fair to fucking joe biden. he fucked us. fuck him

Ruba really needs help ❤️

Your periodic reminder that @radiofreetom.bsky.social who many of you like to follow, and who writes for the Atlantic, was pushing the great replacement theory before Trump and has never apologized for it. He's part of what got us here.

JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.

Trump is an idiot and a star fucker, and Mamdani is a star, thus Trump likes him a ton in person. Trump did the same with Jenner even after she called him out lol.

i didn’t know “testing” was a synonym for “breaking” you learn something new every day ✨

I know you all are posting this because you hope that a CNN article will break through liberal genocide denial, but the headline ends with "Human Rights Watch has alleged" so no, they will just tell themselves it's propaganda, because it was phrased in a manner that allows them to do that

This piece...calls her the Hunter S Thompson of this generation and I think it's time for old dudes to be legally prevented from writing about women

We are watching a Charlie Kirk level character rework happen in realtime except now we're being forced to accept that one of the worst political writers to appear in print this century is actually a generational writing talent, the way these people are trying to manufacture reality via bully pulpit

If the AI is bored and needs some more reading material, I have a suggestion

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

Riley Gaines is part of a machine that harms trans people and creates hatred and fear toward them that contributes to their murders. #TDOR

This is part of why I hate them 1) There's not really a virtue in being honest if it's just attacking people out of anger and nothing else 2) They didn't seem to have a lot of empathy for those honest about their feelings about a certain right wing pundit two months ago

Top JPMC execs were in constant contact with Epstein and were aware of his shady financials. Top staff at JPMC, reporting directly to CEO Jamie Dimon, closely supervised Epstein’s accounts. One even coached Epstein on how to sanitize his suspiciously large cash withdrawals.

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Trans people have literally always been here; every time I see someone sneering "oh but there were no trans people when I was in high school," well. I dated a trans girl in high school, and was close friends with a trans guy.

*that signals Trump's desire to ban state AI laws

there were multiple different countdown clocks until the Olsen twins turned 18 reddit had its infamous 'jailbait' community online until late 2011 all of this shit was just out in the open, it was awful

Here’s the list of guests who honored the killer crown prince of Saudi Arabia last night at our White House, including Elon Musk (Tesla) and Tim Cook (Apple), and more: www.businessinsider.com/white-house-...

"I still think environmentalism is basically bad" is just his old "sweatshop workers should have the freedom to die making my clothes" shtick but applied to climate change. Casual indifference to human suffering is his M.O. and always has been, since he became famous for supporting the 2003 Iraq War

Well, yes, it is, isn’t it.

i don’t want to brag too hard but the vast majority of men i know aren’t weird pedophiles & in fact would agree with patton oswalt’s bannable words on the matter

This jackass thinks people want to "negotiate" for health care. We don't want to fucking negotiate a goddamn thing with goddamn corporations - we just want health care! This is all a fucking game to him. He has zero concept of how any normal human being lives. Never vote for any Republican ever.

I don’t want to hear about norms, I don’t want to hear about looking forward not back, I don’t want to hear about “bipartisanship” I want the filibuster gone, the court packed, new states, and a top to bottom cleaning of the federal government that ends with a lot of people in jail

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten. For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

Larry Summers is 70. Firing him is not ruining his life.

hey instead of reading and sharing some book that sucks by a woman in love with an insane corpse who neither deserves nor needs the coverage, why not instead buy and read MY book. due to me being normal simplicitybook.xyz

HBO always tries to do this which I guess makes sense as the two comedy current events shows but I genuinely can’t imagine someone who likes one show enjoys the other. Even putting the individual politics aside one is about researching and doing 20 minute segments and the other is a boomer bitching

Well, I met the Pope and thanked him for supporting Palestine. ❤️

Free Patton

I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

doing a bang up job aaron but at least the pedophiles feel safe

Rainbow from my destroyed city #Gaza

One serious tell is his stupid line like "It's not lost on me that the same establishment currently trying to destroy me is the same one that sent me off to fight their wars" HE IS A PRIVILEGED WHITE MAN THAT VOLUNTARILY ENLISTED!!! AND HE HAS CLAIMED HE DID SO BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO MISS A WAR!

FBI, check this man’s hard-drive

It cannot be remembered enough that these were the same people who got worked up about drag brunches
