I was happy to participate in this video from Chris the Producer. He created an LLC, hired an actor who built a miserly profile online, and flew a phone via drone into a ritzy area to try to influence the prices derived from data collection. And it worked! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCSw...

I want old school Chicago throat slitting. You don’t just punish your enemies, you privilege your friends and clear space for your enemies enemies. Example: have the UAW write a bill that encourages mechanics at dealerships to unionize and get auto industry support by adding direct sales. 1/

I want trials for every last one of these mother fuckers.

Would like to see the reaction on if President Barack Obama had a private company that charged premiums to Wall Street traders so they could front-run the general public in markets on his presidential pronouncements.

ICE officer who shot Colombian man in Maine has history of threatening behavior and mental illness, family and court documents say.

Congrats we just made it impossible to come here for a PhD www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/16/m...

Trump's own file release tonight says Russia was working to attack Biden and boost Trump's re-election campaign.

And so it shall be forever henceforth.

Wait, wait, you're telling me the guy who flattened a co-worker's tire and the guy who did a racist segment in Chinatown for Bill O'Reilly's show is threatening mass rapes against women in Asia? Huh.

This is how to speak to every single one of those sycophants.

"Our time will come, and when it does: no amnesty." www.bostonreview.net/articles/tru...

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

About Pete Hegseth’s talk about testosterone for service members … Rep Becca Balint (D-VT): “There are so many people in this Administration that have some weird, intense homoerotic feelings toward men, while also being homophobic”…

"What the federal government has been doing to people assumed to be immigrants is different from normal police brutality. It is a targeted campaign. We are witnessing, for the first time since Jim Crow, American death squads."

every time trump is president you gotta wash your groceries

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i had no idea this would become so literal

"how can you knock doors and register your neighbors to vote at a time like this, when democracy itself is dying" --the self-fulfilling prophecy of a religion that views donald trump as a vengeful god he's a stupid old man putting up Lavrentiy Beria 1953 numbers

i think for many people doomerism is a warm weighted blanket that justifies their underlying lack of desire to pursue legitimate political power - which will be very difficult, and which will not fully bury the evil people currently in charge for many decades. in their eyes effort is for rubes

Why I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.

Oh no, France has the Trump curse on them now www.politico.com/live-updates...

Our attempts to force the public to use technology they fucking hate and do not want remain unpopular and unprofitable, but we remain undeterred.

Their model: 1) Racism is largely individual not systemic. 2) Racism only exists if it’s egregious. 3) Racism is only egregious if it’s outlandish/one explicitly states their intent to be racist. 4) Even then, it’s probably just words that won’t extend to action, and they didn’t *really* mean it.

It's ugly and rotten-hearted to speak ill of the dead if they were a powerful politician who pushed constantly for war and misery. It's perfectly fine to speak ill of the dead if they were some nobody immigrant who was near a cop.

Every time.

Loyal Losers is good shorthand for: "Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty." Hannah Arendt

I know consultants tell Dems to only talk about affordability but it seems like you ought to be able to get voters to care about elementary schools being bombed & people being shot in the streets as Trump pardons thieves, drug dealers & violent criminals while grifting billions.

This is extremely good flaminghydra.com/issue-603/#t...

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

This is a really good explainer about the mortality estimates around USAID. One big point is that dismantling USAID also dismantled one of the main sources of mortality data in some of these regions. Early indicators of mortality are very worrying.

The value system of the greater manosphere is not just anti-female, it's anti-human. Success is defined by physical perfection, wealth, and dominance--but it's not in pursuit of goals these straight guys actually want like love or sex with women, it's just to impress other vacuous men.

Lindsey Graham always struck me as a sad figure. He didn't know - or was afraid to be - who he was, and that manifested itself in so many cruel ways. He'd latch on to whoever gave him a modicum of approval & do their bidding. His self-loathing manifested as hate. Very similar to J.D. Vance.

Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prize after wake up call: newspapers mistakenly published his obituary when his brother died & what he read as his legacy horrified him speaking ill (factually) of the dead is literally the most effective way to curb living racist & Nazi public figures/politicians

Iron Law Of Institutions, first promulgated by Jon Schwarz

this is basically like a colony

Get Wydenpilled.

I feel there’s a difference between those whose religion drives them to fanaticism and those whose fanaticism drives them to religion.

Someone said it looks like a suburban Thai restaurant lol

Crazy how People is the remaining publication that just goes for the jugular.

i think the funniest thing about this specific ai art argument is we already have a cultural reference point for technically competent realism with no artistic soul that no one wanted to see or buy. hes called adolf hitler

It's important to do what's Sam's doing here and parsing the law & Constitution, but we must keep in view the forest: This is a huge advance in the US's transition into a presidential dictatorship. It gives the dictator effective authority to cancel laws by firing those tasked with enforcing them.

This is the way.

Read this 🧵 👇🏻 The heart of the Bonkers Billionaire Beliefs is misanthropy: deeply hating humanity & wanting to replace other people with automatons. These bros see human complexity, emotion, and interpersonal friction as attack on their own claims to supremacy.
