“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. #ICYMI, read the story that he wanted dropped:

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

i do find it a fascinating assumption rightwingers are making that they should be able to walk into any daycare center and observe random peoples children whenever they want

Jesus christ. www.npr.org/2025/12/30/g...

Adulthood is telling yourself you’ll feel better after you clean the house every day until you die.

“ The daughter of a well known conservative operative , whose paper did not answer the topic at hand and had a carefully planned media campaign , had a trans instructor fired for grading a paper according to the agreed upon rubric”

one of my most popular designs

i do not like these fuckoff large cars

The Trump supporter who runs CBS news just killed a story about Trump’s favorite torture prison. Here’s why America has a liberal media bias problem.

if you’ve been reading the awful Gen Z republican quotes today and haven’t seen this yet, it’s a fuckin antidote yr welcome

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov. He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

Keep going. Be meaner. Aim whatever lizard-brain impulse you have towards cruelty and violence in this direction.

There should be a constitutional mechanism for removing a president. Not impeachment, something that actually works, maybe like a catapult

President Dipshit here, there will be a War tomorrow. No I did not ask anyone else about it first. Thanks

The paradox of our times: everybody in software talks about how “AI” ramps up productivity by an order of magnitude Meanwhile the software I follow, the platforms I keep track of, and the releases I follow keep the same pace as before except buggier, less usable, and more prone to catastrophe

disturbing reports that donald trumps economic policy is doing the exact goddam thing everyone said they would

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

Damn, imagine if we had a political party that could use this information to make real sweeping change

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

The Half-Life 3 subreddit has descended into delirium after The Game Awards and I have concerns www.rogue.site/editorials/h...

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Shocked to learn that despite 1,000 op-eds about how they are now a workers' party, Republicans are doing what they always do when they're in power

Man, I fucking love Lorwyn. I wish Wales was real.

shoutout to the crowd that insisted it was a political loser to stand up for abrego garcia’s rights

Oh you broke ranks and squandered your politically advantageous position on the government shutdown, and the audacious gambit resulted in the most obvious outcome imaginable? You really are a Democrat.

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

Another way to interpret this: The Washington Post endorses re-segregation of American society.

happy stylish but illegal monkey day to all who celebrate!!!!! by the way his name is darwin and he lives a farm now

I need you all to be actively and intentionally excited about Lorwyn Eclipsed. For several weeks. Can you do that for me? Please?

NEW: A new congressional investigation prompted by ProPublica reporting has found that, contrary to the Trump administration’s claims, immigration agents have frequently detained and mistreated U.S. citizens. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Time to cancel your Instacart account and let them know why

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.

Help us, we're poor, we're so poor, we can't possibly greenlight new projects or keep from laying off employees by the thousands :( :( oh wait nm, we just found $100 billion to try to buy Warner Bros :)

Supreme Court oral argument this morning, in sum Sotomayor: you're asking us to destroy the foundation of government (derogatory) Gorsuch: you're asking us to destroy the foundation of government (complimentary)

i know this is styled as "trump says" but we really have to stop phrasing things this way. an executive order can't do that.

The media has cast it as a sex scandal so they're mostly focusing on the smutty texts but it's an extremely straightforward ethics scandal: "If Trump gets elected my boyfriend has a job."

We’re entering a new era of childhood mortality & disability, & almost no one will care bc they’ll just get used to “the new normal” within a few years. They’ll ignore the harm. How do I know? Because that’s exactly how it went w/COVID, which is the 2nd largest threat to childhood health rn.

What exactly is this force that compels these people to do the most asinine thing possible at just the wrong moment?

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI. I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

I didn't mention it in my bit on this story from earlier this week, but one of the most dispiriting things about this, beyond how predictable it was, is that all these elected officials care much more about doing shit like this than they do about the University of Oklahoma continuing to exist.

I Think Her Party Should Be Making Statements In Her Defense And The Greater Somali Community

The baseline acceptable position for Democrats NEEDS to be abolishing ICE, scrapping the DHS, rounding up all of the agents and contractors and shot-callers, and prosecuting them for their crimes and violations of the Constitution. We need to primary every Democrat and demand that of candidates.

TPUSA have been at this long enough that the default assumption of their involvement in literally anything that has to do with college campuses should be an assumption of bad faith based on a long and well-documented history of bad faith actions

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

The fact that TPUSA posted the entirely reasonable comments from the instructor here as coming from the “TRANS PROFESSOR” gives away the game. They’re not defending students, they’re targeting faculty — as always
