This is my favorite thing I've written for @mcsweeneys.net in a while. Hope you folks enjoy it! I think the headline pretty much clears up what it's about.

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

I hear he just talked to McConnell for 20 minutes

NEW: Maine Democrat Graham Platner suspended his campaign for Senate after a woman publicly accused him of sexual assault this week.

The Tortoise Ain't Aware

"He pulls a sacrament, you invoke ex cathedra. He sends one of yours back to the Diocese, you send one of his to Hell. That's the Chicago way."

I’m glad it seems to be sinking in that the right is not going to stop working to destroy birthright citizenship. The right knows the goal is within reach. It’s a long term project like Roe v. Wade. They aren’t going to stop after one SCOTUS ruling.

The vote on the constitutional question in the birthright citizenship case is an absolute scandal slate.com/news-and-pol...

This rotten racist scumbag.

Slaughter is an earthquake: SCOTUS has overturned a 90-year-old precedent that facilitated much of modern governance by granting many agencies meaningful independence from the president. Now SCOTUS crushes that independence ... for seemingly every agency except the Federal Reserve.

When you've clearly seen the originals. Hint: Bowden isn't even an attorney in the 1960 film (he only testified against Cady)) and his wife isn't in the 1992 one. Anyway, Cape Fear is a lot of fun

Gonna be wild for right wingers to pretend an Uwe Boll movie is good just because it's super racist

good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands

The president put a cult member whose statements and views were dictated by the cult leader in charge of all national intelligence services. And it's barely even a story. Wild

They're right to do it

Who hired Evil John Candy for this

Horrible news about Daveigh Chase. RIP

This is a murder

A horror icon is joining FANGORIA Studios for its latest film, with Ernest Dickerson set to direct an adaptation of a beloved comic book series.

Cops are so fucking pathetic when it comes to dogs, I swear

HORRIBLE news

The US Secretary of Homeland Security is taking the position that “racist pogroms are actually good.”

When these people insist the mere presence of people unlike them is an attack on them, their country, or their rights, this is exactly the outcome they are seeking, and disappointment among far right Trumpists is largely that he failed to produce events like this here. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

We need more rich people with normal interests like "your movie sounds neat" instead of, like, white fertility rates.

Of course this is horribly corrupt, immoral, and everything else we know as the enemy of good. But his name is literally Buyer?

We are devastated to learn of the passing of Anthony Head, endeared to fans around the world for his role as Rupert Giles on BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER the series. We send out deepest condolences to his friends, fans, and family.

'Backrooms' director Kane Parsons isn't a fan of generative AI "If I could snap my fingers and make generative AI disappear forever, I probably would" "Creatively, I get no enjoyment from using those tools. It defeats the purpose entirely for me"

Reminder that the Daily Wire is boasting of casting Jonathan Majors and Zachary Levi to do "Anti-Woke Sinners" Like yeah, keep trying

I hate to do this, but between bills, school, and now I guess trying to plan a trip to the states so I can be at my grandma's funeral, money is really tight right now. If anyone can contribute anything to make it less stressful I'd greatly appreciate it ko-fi.com/ladyemilypre...

As Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton offered a man 1 day in jail for raping a little boy. Why do Republican politicians always protect people who rape kids?

BREAKING: Ethics complaint just filed against Pam Bondi — & it's damning She ran DOJ like a weapon — & now 100+ scholars, retired judges & retired FL Supreme Court Chief Justice Peggy Quince — joined by @democracydefendersfund.org @ldadorg.bsky.social & LFRL — are holding her accountable -TN

I for one love the idea that to get a man to eat you must bounce and dangle his chicken nuggets in front of him like he’s a cute widdle kitten

my god

No

It's telling that Rs have had two months to prepare their attack lines and all they've got is "vegan" and "God is nonbinary"

For, Threadnought friends, evidently Vic Mignogna has cancer, according to his wife's podcast

tired: Trump arranged this shooting to bring martial law. wired: Trump arranged this shooting to get out of going to his son's wedding

That's about 15 times more than Obama transferred to Iran in the infamous "cash planes" that Republicans lost their minds about.

"Partisan hack doesn't want to change his behavior, just that people stop pointing it out"

The best thing John Roberts has ever done is prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Supreme Court is a political institution and we should dramatically reduce its power over our government.

Well, hope the spider's ok.

My best wishes to the hospital that has a critical case of Rudy Giuliani

so are they reporting he's on his deathbed or something because the only way he's gonna be "conciliatory" is when he stops breathing

This actually would piss me off enough to consider not watching any more Star Wars. Absolutely no Star Wars fan is clambering for more Cara fucking Dune. The ONLY (and I mean ONLY) reason to do this is to signal to culture war chuds that they won.

"But all of these reforms require constitutional amendments..." This is nonsense, and I wish people would stop repeating it The Judiciary Act of 1789 wasn't a constitutional amendment. It was a statute enacted by Congress and signed by the President. It can be amended like any other statute
