ftr I only use natural pain relief (getting really drunk)

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

so weird that that anytime a conservative writes a novel it involves people they think are unworthy being killed, usually extrajudicially, often in large numbers. I'm sure it's a coincidence

Get in losers, we’re grieving

lol nevermind, packers right back to "pretty good but not good enough." universe returns to normal

ME BEFORE THE PACKERS GAME: if jordan love can stop making 1-3 awful decisions per game this could maybe be the best team in the nfl ME IN THE 4TH QUARTER: welp.

Ethnic pogroms and daylight terror, torture and death in camps, save your lectures on the strength of this regime until we find the +50,000 humans, thus far, who have been disappeared under the colors of our flag. Reparations and justice will be the proof of their weakness, nothing less.

genuinely i think you could probably do a "roman decadence" ad for the midterms

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

Steve Aoki: Are you sure? Stylist: Yes. I am 100% sure no one else will be wearing the big red shoes

"Fascism is a temper tantrum disguised as an ideology" is a great line

ACCOUNT ON BLUESKY: (follows me) ME: oh jesus christ, what is it this time

the core of MAGA government is giving resentful mediocrities to power to act as tyrants and dominate others

"macrohard" what a fucking idiot. apparently even infinite dollars still can't buy a sense of humor

These Quisling fucking cowards. Let it be known that it was us who saved their worthless asses in the historical record.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

good fucking night and good fucking luck

you just cannot divorce the success of the Nazis or Mussolini's fascists or any of them from the routine of violence, the massive numbers of underemployed former soldiers who had experience taking human life. that's *why* it worked. that's why it took a war to stop them.

what I'm learning from the fact that every one of these decisions has a "huge merger waiting to be approved" factor is that we should no longer allow mergers sorry, you can't buy any other companies anymore, too dangerous to civil society only antitrust breakups allowed

the hard line of 'racism is not part of any conversation' is the very minimum to maintain to have a civilized order, and the reactionary centrists are among the biggest quislings around when it comes to that.

Exactly. Politics in the US is no longer a debate about which policies to adopt within a liberal framework of accepted rules. It's now a blood sport and one side playing it like it's still cricket won't work

one of the last bursts of great/prescient writing from Hunter S. Thompson www.espn.com/page2/s/thom...

"It is unusual for a civics initiative to not include liberals, experts said." It is impossible for the Post to assert anything, no matter how obvious, as fact.

American elites are deeply corrupt scum. Dimon fluffing the GOP Senate caucus today was a perfect example of it.

okay, well, so,

LBGTQ rights is the greatest cultural victory that Democrats have won in most of our lifetimes, a cause that went from controversial to completely mainstream and wildly popular, making Republicans look old-fashioned and bigoted. Naturally the centrist Dems are scared of it

"If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein." Justice Robert Jackson, 1943

I've never used waymo but my problem with tesla's self-driving mode was never the self-driving part, but rather the part where it's horribly implemented and unreliable and hobbled by elon musk's involvement and sometimes it kills people

robert redford was nothing if not hotter than the fucking sun. good actor, made some great movies, environmentalist, by all accounts a decent dude, blah blah blah, whatever. that stuff is fine - admirable, in fact - but we all know why we're here

The shape of politics in the US right now is increasingly that the media, political and economic elites are allied with the Trump regime against the actual people of the country who hate it

NEWS: By vaccinating babies at birth, the U.S. nearly eradicated hepatitis-B in children. Kennedy's vaccine advisory panel is expected this week to recommend delaying the shot, opening a window for kids to be infected. Exclusive by @jackie-fortier.bsky.social kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

"if you say something mean about any of us we will destroy your life" sure seems to be the theme lately huh not that they ever cared one bit about it, but it's pretty funny to think about the cancel culture panic ginned up by the right, and how a bunch of people took them seriously

Lisa was both the most worried about social issues and the most reliant on the saxophone and that’s just logic

ftr, bertrand russell has been one of my heroes since I was ~18 years old. here in 2025 we desperately need a lot more bertrand russels and fewer ezra kleins leading the way

nope

can't find a clip, but roy and red eating dinner together in THE NATURAL is one of my very favorite scenes in one of my very favorite movies

Civility is when you peacefully back down against the people who want you to be servants or dead so the stock market can keep going up.
