You know, the people that benefited the most from COVID were probably ventriloquists...

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

R.I.P Ace Frehley. Spare me Gene's comments about being sad. We ALL know he's just happy it's one less check he'll have to write. He treated Ace and Peter like shit for decades.

On a whim, I decided to check out "Midnight Mass" on Netflix. Wow! I'm 4 episodes in and really enjoying it. NO SPOILERS, PLEASE! (Honestly, I checked it out because I love Hamish Linklater in "Gen V". The show's not great but he's great in it. So I wanted to see what else he's done.)

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Fascinating lost tech the Mouse used for SFX compositing stuff like ‘Mary Poppins’

Oh my god lol This Dutch late night host absolutely eviscerates Trump and Disney- you gotta watch how

I'm in trouble. Ever since the inscriptions on the bullets were released, I've had the song "Bella Ciao" in my head. Must... resist... singing...

Wow! Kudos to your staff, @bencollins.bsky.social

New blog post: How the Hindu goddess Santoshi Ma achieved fame through a 1975 film, "Jai Santoshi Ma". enfolding.org/hail-to-the-...

Sunday reading: The Right Wants a Reichstag Fire I wrote about the murder of Charlie Kirk, political violence in the United States, and the Trumpists’ desire to find a pretext for purges and mass arrests. This week’s piece:

There's a word for someone who prioritizes the white race, says that Black people are less intelligent or less civilized than white people, Jews control the world through money, Muslims are evil terrorists anathema to Western Civilization, and being trans should be illegal. Nazi. That's the word.

At some point in the not too distant future, literal Nazis are just going to be called "conservative activists" by the media.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Newsom's already talking about what a loss it is that Charlie Kirk is dead. Kirk was demonizing trans people up to the moment he was shot. Remember that. Trying to make trans people out to be violent.

We should care about the desecration of water, land, and sky the way some Muslims care about heretical depictions of Muhammad or the Qur'an. We should be losing our shit about these companies that kill our rivers and poison our skies.

Younger folks might not be aware of this but the 2nd half of the 20th century was incredibly optimistic. I sometimes get nostalgic for the optimism we had back then. That the Internet would bring us together. That we would heal the planet. That racism and misogyny would be ended.

Hey just fyi being paid by a political party that’s responsible for genocide makes you a terrible person How many times did these “influencers” speak up about Palestine before Trump took over? Would love those stats.

This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...

Stuff like this is why I can't stand how popular Newsom is among liberals... He's scum.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

The mass shooting, like all mass shootings, is horrific and tragic, but now is not the time to talk about gun control in America. We're coming upon exactly the scenario why the 2nd Amendment even exists.

It's weird to me that "aged like milk" has become a popular phrase (and even a popular subreddit). Milk is one of the few things that aging makes demonstrably better. What happens when you age milk properly? CHEESE.

White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.

@iwriteok.bsky.social Is it too early to do a series of BtB episodes on Gavin Newsom? It'd be reallllllllly funny to piss off the libs in the BTB subreddit.

we have both computers and science fiction because Byron was so insufferable it inspired all the women around him to come up with elaborate reasons to get away

Yeah. Must be nice to just enjoy your bubble while your neighbors are being taken by ICE. While access to healthy reproductive choices are being taken from American citizens. While DC is being overrun by a modern Gestapo. www.reddit.com/r/simplelivi...

I considered the Department of Homeland Security’s new white nationalist recruitment memes, in the context of the well-documented history of DHS downplaying and disregarding white nationalism and “domestic extremism.” As upsetting as these posts are, it also tracks.

Theism just is Polytheism, by @timmodryoid.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/symmetri...

Really getting tired of having libs push Gavin Newsom just because he wrote witty tweets in the style of Trump. This is a man who has platformed far-right creeps. He's anti-homeless. He's anti-trans. He's a scumbag. It's like a few weeks ago when everyone went gaga over South Park.

Here Comes Honey Labubu!

Meanwhile in Oxfordshire, UK.... Endlessly vacationing Vance is getting booted out of British pubs. Even the pints are telling him to fuck off.
