Scott Pelley is the only person allowed to use the word "disingenuous" from now on because he's the only one who actually knows what it means.

“Did Netanyahu trick you?” Taco Trump answered by ranting about Democrats, trans people, and how Israel supposedly wouldn’t exist without him. The man’s brain is a browser with 97 tabs open and all of them are playing ads. Completely unhinged.

The Libs of TikTok gang is obsessed with kids' genitals, and that shouldn't go over well anywhere, but it definitely won't in Philly.

there's a lot to be said for doing things that anchor you in the present instead of simmering in lurid paranoid fantasies about Others you've been told are somehow threatening your future agency or are somehow responsible for your current troubles.

I would have loved to be in that room when Pelley said "Oh please" to Bilton and the staff cracked up.

Scott Pelley sounds like a pretty awesome co-worker.

fascinated at how, in conservative discourse, black americans live lives that are nasty, brutish and short in horrifying dystopias

One reason Republicans have had lots of political success in recent years (i.e., control of all three branches of government, the majority of governors and most state legislatures) is because their movement is underpinned by the threat of state and state-sponsored violence.

This 'can't ever be wrong, always have to explain it into rightness, and how dare YOU for questioning' attitude being pushed by so many Platner supporters is the exact same song and dance an abuser uses to keep their victim off balance and on the back foot.

The most strategic fumble I’ve witnessed among dem leaders is letting their cops beat up their constituents. And it’s been going on for years and weakening us all. It leaves people with few options but to lose faith in the entire system. And faith is all you got because there isn’t very much proof

I've seen this sentiment before and totally agree. I've left plenty of message boards without looking back, ones where I'd even met other users in person. Twitter aka X, the Everything App was no more indispensable than the forum devoted to the 8th place finisher on American Idol season 3.

"Send those international flights to red state cities and the country will be safer and better off" sounds a lot like "Drop off Chinese and Egyptian tourists in sundown towns and let the local meth heads reenact James Byrd's murder".

And how does any of this help Americans stay clothed and fed? How does naming an obscure wide receiver help me retain access to the immunotherapy that will keep my cancer from coming back?

I'm sure your average Japanese tourist can't wait to get plopped into Coeur d'Alene or Conroe, TX and eat at Applebee's while half the other diners pull their eyelids back and call them "Jackie Chan".

How to file a pro se habeas petition for a detained immigrant who may not have an attorney:

What an absolute certified dork

That video going around of the TERF hassling a Marks & Spencer employee is of course and primarily crappy on the anti-trans merits. It's also part of my second-favorite hobbyhorse, defending Kids Today from adults who wonder why they aren't as adventurous as Kids of Yesteryear.

A whole bunch of gnats swarming around Dana White's angry bald head, you say?

Sonia is a Black DV survivor, won't get paid for 3 weeks, and needs transport to a job interview tomorrow. $100 for Uber and at least $200 for groceries plus anything you can spare for expenses #UrgentNeed 💸 💕 💸 💕 paypal.me/MsSoniaD or cashapp $spunkylilminx

I'm having a hard time squaring the "manly man eat meat seed oil gay and weak" stance of Steak 'n Shake with the gooey, whimsical ad copy of "cRoWnEd WiTh a ~cLoUd 🌥~ of fresssh 🤗homemade🤗 whipped cream and a ~🌧shower🌧~ of SpRiNkLeS"

Also: how many times did the adults who were concerned with "legality" exceed the speed limit, have too many beers before driving, or help themselves to grapes at the supermarket without paying for them?

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

I'll knock on doors for the first candidate who makes it illegal to write a post with "Funny how [x happens] but [something else happens]."

With everything going on in the country it's nice to see examples of community!

We hate to ask, but our animal sanctuary is struggling under the weight of huge vet bills, rising costs & hay deliveries If you feel able to help us in anyway, we’d be so thankful: gofund.me/f75e616d7 Please share our fundraiser so it finds help & support. Thank you 💚 #rescueanimals #sanctuary

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

dreamed i went viral for posting “if you want to be considered intellectually fruitful, you have to produce intellectual bananas”

What's kind of wild is that if I stick with a strict definition of "band" (no vocal groups or solo acts with a backing band) I'm pretty much left with the Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage and the Bacon Brothers.

Somewhere out there, MacKenzie Scott reads this headline, rolls her eyes, and sends another $5 million to an HBCU.

I have a dream where he barricades himself in the bunker and America, done with his shit, just bulldozes the ballroom, pours concrete over the exits, builds something decent there, and never thinks of him again.

So, 1) when a user who actually shares my overall views on Graham Platner goes after me for a jokey response, and Graham's #1 fan on BlueSky mindlessly taps the ♡ on my reply because all she saw was "makes me like him", that tells me I need to work on my comedy writing skills;

Sounds to me like Republicans like giving taxpayer money to child molesters!

If they get rid of Bari, who will oversee the "scoops of ideas"??

I'd argue that breaking MAGA spirits will discourage them from voting... well, some anyway.

Welp, it was already gross when it was a handout to child molesters, and now it's a bribe to kids to shut up and let people diddle them? I need to go take a walk.

I was going to interpret the original post as "Ew I had to look at poor people!" but I like this take much better.

A shame! I've only been following Alex a short time but his work is so solid.

What is with the ugly-ass new score on NBC Nightly News tonight? Is the regular music not good enough for Donald's latest trip to China? @nbcnews.com, help me out here.

@courtneymilan.com I recently took two cats in from a family member, and one needs expensive dental care urgently. Could you possibly share the gofundme to get him care?

Aww, I wonder if Ethan still keeps in touch with Big Balls and Gavin Kliger.

🐾3-y/o stray Kahrin had an offer that bailed & the back up offer just took a different dog so now there is no one for Kahrin. She has been cooperative, been on walks, obviously once had a home b/c looks well cared for. Who can help this scared girl out? foster needed 5/07: nycacc.app#/browse/252161

It's always a great time to encourage people to check out Holley Muraco's rescue beaver channel on YouTube, honestly. Tulip could kick Ben Shapiro's ass.

One of my least favorite recurring dreams, second only to the ones where I'm in a car going 75 mph on a highway and I'm steering it from the back seat.

I'm really hoping Melania's fake whining here becomes the parallel to the Charlie Kirk fandom tattling on people who didn't mourn him enough: officially overplaying their hands and sparking a bigger backlash. I don't agree with the "staged!" claims but I think they're a good tactical start.

I wonder why Clara Jeffery only quoted OP's original post and not this follow-up.

Clara's already had like 1500 quote skeets dunking on her so do I need to add to that? No, but I want to. What is this chin-chucking nonsense? Why is Weijia Jiang's trauma supposed to be more special and cared for than anyone else who's been screwed over by Donald and friends?

Jackie Robinson grew up in a diverse Pasadena neighborhood, & when one of those neighbors, his baseball teammate Shig Takayama, was incarcerated at Manzanar with his family, the Robinsons helped take care of their home. For my new column, a story of the worst & best of America through baseball. 🗃️

Is Don Jr. going to wear a band-aid on his face to show he's a cool dude from the mid-aughts?
