Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

the abyss is staring back at me

this is beautiful in so so many ways.

oh it's going to be a Recession recession

ten minutes ago: wow exciting game, OT, cool! now: fuck this stupid game, refs are evil incarnate

trash

A real Thomas Friedman moment

US higher education was a crown jewel, generating knowledge, wealth, prestige, and power unrivaled by anyone. And the US is throwing it away, because Americans elected a govt ideologically opposed to truth, science, merit, and racial/gender equality, preferring to weaken the country to reduce that.

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

reach for your phone around one of these freaks and they’ll shoot you, reload, and shoot your corpse

This is honestly remarkable. ICE's legitimacy has completely collapsed in less than a year and show's no signs of slowing down.

the FAFO crowd at its finest

happy first day of school to semester colleagues please enjoy this jameson syllabus from January 1996

Five armed masked federal agents to guard a Target restroom while Greg Bovino uses the facilities. A scene equally at home in authoritarian regimes and comedies about authoritarian regimes

I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history. The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership

Lmfao what an awesome proposal. One reason you need a 90% income tax rate at this level is these guys are too stupid to have the amount of power they do. Like giving a glock to a 4 year old

My first for @dropsitenews.com: after a grueling three-year strike, workers at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette returned to work in victory. This week, the 240-year-old paper’s wealthy owners decided to shut it down. open.substack.com/pub/dropsite...

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

It’s always struck me as odd how the objectives of the regime and the opposition are exactly the inverse of what they should be. The regime should *want* peaceful acquiescence to their rule, just as the Democrats should want an escalation into a situation the latter can’t control.

intensely proud to be part of this organization, now more than ever

American conservatives will look you right in the eye with a straight face and tell you that complete and utter subservience to masked federal police is patriotism, anything else deserves being executed in the street, and tax dollars for healthcare is tyranny.

video has already escaped containment and our investigative arm is working to shield America’s Gestapo from the barest accountability so it can kill again

We published this fascinating review of “Your Dazzling Death”—the book by Cass Donish @cassdonish.bsky.social reviewed by Jeannine Pitas @janinalapapita.bsky.social 💙📚Neat twist: Pitas translated a book by the poet Marosa di Giorgio that inspired Donish’s work. cablestreet.org/issue-10-tab...

I was wondering how this might all turn out to have been my fault

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

My original prepped quote was going to point out that for that figure over five years you could pretty much literally have made GTA V, and all we got was a pretty crappy tailored version of a pre-existing database management program, but I worried my senior colleagues might not take me seriously.

🚨🚨THERE IS ONCE AGAIN A LITERARY, MARXIST-INFLUENCED COACH IN #mls !🚨🚨 Please, Henrik Rydström, just give us fun quotes like Vanni Sartini did. PLEASE.

may get back on facebook to keep tabs on my mom’s family

The era of big government been here for a while, news is Mamdani is trying to wrestle the state from the grubby hands of capital

if / when he succeeds, the Wall Street Journal will run a piece arguing that Mamdani’s affordability regime is killing New York

in case anyone was wondering, the large dose of aspirin I choose to take daily has caused me to bruise easily

in 2026 I’m getting so much worse

oh, your 2026 reading goal is 100 books? Mine is reading this book 100 times

good piece with an incidental insanely brutal takedown of klein

guess scott pressler is hanging in PA for the holidays

thrilled to report that there’s a guy at the grocery store more obviously unshowered than me

Boilo Day > Christmas Day

hint: they always threaten to leave and they never do

it sucks so bad to walk around town knowing I could run into Shane Gillis anywhere

Ok @erikstrobl.bsky.social, you gotta admit this is pretty hilarious.

I actually didn’t want the Lions to make the playoffs

Phyllis Schlafly snuck up on me and said hi

the Detroit Lions are not the worst team, but they’re absolutely the stupidest team and they exist to torment me

casually, over lunch, my mom just said she doesn’t know anyone who was adopted. I was adopted
