We staffed the entire FBI with guys who only make memes and podcasts, hope that doesn't affect our ability to respond to major crimes

if these kids were conservative influencers, it would not have been "things can happen"

This is not normal, and continued and ever-increasing rhetoric like this should not be treated as normal. #holdfast #steadystate

online gambling is essentially legal and open money fixing and laundering at this point

Last night's biggest surprise was Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, led by Casey Hudson, who directed KOTOR (and Anthem). Exciting news for lots of people... but Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game

If you commit murder you should definitely fear "personal legal blowback."

If you’re wondering why Democratic staffers are happily leaking photos of Epstein with the likes of Bill Clinton and Larry Summers you’re really not paying attention. The parties (and their voters) are *not* the same. The Dems are not perfect and have ample problems. But GOP is different.

Q: If DOJ doesn't release the files it has by next Friday, is there anything Congress can do to compel that to happen? MASSIE: It's a crime if they don't. This is a new law with criminal implications if they don't follow it.

there is a very good book about transatlantic exchange of fascist, eugenicist and racist ideas in the early 20th century and how those ideas shaped the nazi government in its early years. this has been transformed in popular understanding to "the nazis copied jim crow"

If you’ve heard the “the Nazis got their ideas from the US segregationists” I beg you to please stop. This is both false and it minimizes historical European antisemitism in a misguided attempt to emphasize the nature of US anti-Black racism. It’s horrific without comparison to Nazism.

THIS LETS ME BRING OUT THIS POST AGAIN

Applying the Billy Graham rule *to your mother* is the craziest shit I’ve heard in a minute

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

In a HUGE win for federal workers, our essential services, and working people across the country, the bipartisan Protect America’s Workforce Act has passed the House! The fight continues in the Senate. When we fight, we WIN!

More people need to just call them on their lies immediately. They melt like this guy.

here is a frame from pluribus btw

thing about graphical realism is that a lot of the games that cynically chase after it don't care enough about the visual language of film they are trying to copy to make the realism actually interesting let alone work in games. something as basic as colour palette and scene framing is a good one

i stand by this statement every year

🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara to US citizen detained by ICE: "I apologize that this happened to you in my city with people wearing vests that say 'police.' That's embarrassing."

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

ok it’s legitimately funny that they can’t even throw red meat to Catholics without falling into heresy

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and moral, then it’s not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power. - Dwight Eisenhower

I am beyond upset, YouTube has age restricted my video tonight for thinking it depicts real actual gambling. The video is on CloeverPit and contains no real gambling, but does contain a massive charity push for The Trevor Project. Last time this happened I almost quit YouTube

I am so furious at YouTube for doing this. You have literal gambling ads plastered across your website. The video you take action on contains no real gambling, and is promoting an LGBTQ+ children's charity fundraiser. Absolutely horrendous image and optics for the website. Completely moronic

Saw a movie post about a film that I am a detractor for. But I did not comment. Rage posting is the tool of the enemy. We do not use it. We do not *need* it.

i love that a significant portion of the population of the world believes in demons and the devil and satan. they just think this stuff is real and it genuinely scares them

The overton window shifted so far we now say Halo had simple graphics.

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

“I brought this horrid creature into the world, and now I must take him out!” Winfrey said

6 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Biden, generally a lukewarm backer of trans rights as President, uses Intl International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference speech to slam Reps/Trump for turning trans rights into "political football...into something scary, something sinister."

Assigned's mentions for this post are flooded with people who want to jeer at Biden so may I just say: When a Democratic former president makes a point of standing up for trans rights in a situation where he is absolutely not required to do so, for God's sake, just take the W.

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He should’ve been sent to jail forever.

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

That's right

crazy all the websites and paypros are doing their big No Horny Allowed crackdown while every online advertisement now is iether "AI SEX HOT AI CHAT NO FILTER BOOB AI FURRY GIRLFRIEND only for adults ages 6+" or "NPR is now teaming up with Bumfights dot com to revolutionize gamified asset trading"

Schiff: "I think that all of these strikes are unlawful. They are a form of extrajudicial killing. These boats are not invading the US in an armed assault ... the fact the administration may put a group of organizations on a list doesn't confer on a president the ability to kill them at sea."

every time I see an A-list actor in an ad for some slot machine phone game, I think about how Bill Murray's character in Lost in Translation doing advertisements is framed as basically the highest form of humiliation an actor could go through.

Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

How about you just watch the tv show like a normal person?

it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

The fact that Netflix could afford to buy warner brothers means they could've afforded to let us share passwords.
