One of the reasons I think it’s also essential to not call the boat strikes “war crimes” but “crimes against humanity,” is that it emphasizes that Trump and Hegseth are acting extra-constitutionally and are not entitled to any shield from the courts. This systematic murder of civilians is illegal.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

Picked up Guilty Gear Strive recently, and I hate extreme arcade I HATE extreme arcade I HATE EXTREME ARCADE it's a pretty good game

What a great headline

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

NBA 2k15 got real NBA players to do voice acting. It went amazingly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2wp...

Oh my god that is the worst possible answer

I’m howling.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Yeah, my first thought on hearing it's only gonna be there a month and a half was "would you call fucking Oktoberfest a theme park?!"

"sympathy for some of the GOP's voters but contempt for their elected and appointed leaders" is the proper position for dem electeds, and instead we get "sympathy for GOP elected and appointed leaders, but contempt for ~Dem~ voters" it's truly insane fuck all these assholes

A good visualization of what I mean. This isn't one 2:15 minute ad, it's a hundred little scenes, each entirely discrete and detached from each other. There's no continuity both because it can't think, and telling it to keep the number of wheels straight is too much to ask. bsky.app/profile/wapp...

Grey Cup seriously turning the opening coin toss into a pseudomoney ad? Well that sucks.

I'm not trying to be mean, but racists who believe Trump betrayed them by being a child molester are not going to embrace the Democratic Party without forcing that party to embrace racism. And the people gained would in no way make up for those lost.

Rewatched Superman last night and now I've got Tequila (the song) stuck in my head for reasons that I'm not sure more than a single-digit number of people on this website could guess

The stakes for including trans athletes are real and high. Meanwhile, the idea of keeping sports “fair” is transparently a wedge designed to justify the exclusion of people from enriching—even lifesaving—activities. defector.com/what-does-a-...

Every ad now

The reason the headline is "doom!" is because when you see what's already been done, you see that we can do more, which means things can get better, which means rich people's "it's over, no stopping this, might as well let us do what we want" manipulation might stop working. Can't have that.

Anytime I mention this story theres a few dozen people who never heard about it, so for those unaware

my new AI powered lamp is trained on millions of lamp interactions so it understands that 50% of chain pulls are to turn it on and the other 50% are to turn it off. and honestly, it's a little spooky how it knows exactly what i want almost half of the time

Genuinely cannot believe that I got invited to TEDx as a ‘content creator’ only to go on stage and say ‘fuck content’ and then end up as an editor’s choice on the main channel. What have I done Thank you so much, everyone. ❤️

I’ve said it before but news outlets worry a lot about looking biased and not enough about looking phony. Why should people trust you if you won’t say what they can see plain as day?

Okay, so, there's a lot of takes going on about this right now. I just want to say that the number is ragebait. The pay is almost all in the form of Tesla stock, and the number they're attaching to it is based on an insane projection of Tesla being worth EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS by 2034.

shitfaced jamaal bowman saying this is so fuckin funny i feel so seen right now

feck

All the thinkpieces about Bluesky don't account for the fact that it's occasionally 100% wall-to-wall baseball on here

If you needed more proof that much of the pundit class covered the Harris campaign by listening to what the GOP was saying about it and not listening to campaign itself.

Like fucking clockwork. Every 4 months or so a bunch of queer terms are mysteriously blocked in titles and go live notifications, folks make a fuss, and it’s undone quietly after a few days. It’s almost like they’re testing if this is the mythical time they can finally abandon us as a market.

A really good way for the Democrats to prove that they aren't fundamentally the same as Republicans would be for them to clearly and unambiguously disavow Cuomo over stuff like this, and the fact that they aren't racing to do so should suggest a few things about how wide that gulf really is

There are no good-faith anti-trans arguments and no acceptable compromises on trans lives. "fuck you, eat shit and go to hell you smarmy loser. You aren’t owed good boy points or queer accolades for doing your job and standing up for your marginalized constituents, which you don’t even do."

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

Yet another Democratic consultancy group draws up yet another plan designed to lose, framed as a plan designed to win. Its recommendation: doing everything they've already been doing that has led to its state of absolute impotence, framed, once again, as a bold new direction.

no kings includes draft kings

Most Americans are deeply ignorant of how national borders and travel and migration worked, historically – but they assume that it was always like now. It wasn’t even like now when I was younger.

I honestly cannot express enough that there is ZERO reason to EVER hand it to Trump, but ESPECIALLY on his racist fascist immigration "raids" that are nothing more than state terror against racialized people and if you think this is "better," @sanders.senate.gov, please do go fuck yourself.

Bernie is dead-ass wrong on this one and it's fucked that he's for any reason finding a way to give credit to Trump. Democrats relenting the narrative on Immigration and Trans Issues to the framework of the Right is how they gained such power. Bernie is providing fascists with even more ammunition.

The worst part about Bernie's absolutely atrocious immigration statements is that his father, like my grandparents, WAS AN IMMIGRANT who came here BEFORE modern immigration law. Hell, even then, my grandfather had to wait to get naturalized because he was listed as a member of the "Hebrew" Race.

bernie's comments on the border awful for all kinds of reasons up to and including joe biden was fucking insanely restrictive and cruel when it came to the border, guy, what the fuck are you talking about. he was doing executive actions in his last months for border crackdown shit

Hey Bernie, quick question, what the fuck is wrong with you? www.newsweek.com/bernie-sande...

Schneider came to Canada a couple of years ago and did a fundraising event for a hospital that went so badly he was asked to leave the stage and the hospital made a public apology for booking him lol www.cbc.ca/lite/story/1...

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

The backlash against trans people is entirely artificial and top-down. Billionaires bought up media outlets and purged pro-trans journalists, before instituting anti-trans editorial policies. They spend hundreds of millions of dollars on anti-trans messaging. What were we SUPPOSED to do?

Moral panics have ALWAYS been stupid. The next time another Helen Lovejoy-type shrieks about some type of media, some type of activity or some type of people "endangering" or "corrupting the youth", remember the catholic priest who called teddy bears anti-white satanic monsters.
