Starmer has said that what has been allowed to happen at X is "outrageous" and that those responsible should face the "full force of the law," calling their tactics "pathetic" no wait sorry, I got confused, that was him describing Just Stop Oil protesters who put some cornflour on Stonehenge.

The last nine years have been Democrats saying “Have you no shame” and Republicans laughing while saying “Nope”

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.

Trump is a clear and present danger to our democracy and our national security. He must be stopped at all costs. Both parties need to join forces and impeach indict and incarcerate this madman.

No. Social safety nets crumble when we wrap them in neoliberal rhetoric aimed at dividing people and deluding them into thinking that everyone--except some tiny group of perfect poor--should be able to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, even if their boots have been nailed to the floor.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

Seizing control of a foreign country without even informing, let alone getting authorization from, Congress is one of the gravest offenses against the Constitution. Maduro was a horrific dictator. It’s irrelevant. Our own dictator claims power to levy taxes, spend funds, and wage war single-handed.

No offense but if America’s the last best hope on Earth then we’re all pretty much fucked.

A petition is circulating to defend OU graduate instructor Mel Curth. You can read the letter to OU’s President and sign the petition here: actionnetwork.org/forms/defend...

Guess how many cognitive exams they gave my dad in the twelve months after he was referred to a dementia specialist by his doctor. After each one, they assured him that he “did great.”

I'll be thinking of you & your PROBLEMS.

One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.

It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

Reagan, 1981: “In the present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” Clinton, 1996: “I say again, the era of big government is over. But we cannot go back to the era of fending for yourself.” Mamdani, 2026:

This feels quite *how do you do, fellow kids meme*. Genuinely, who are these "influencers" and "grassroots activists" who Labour thinks are coming to save it?

It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

The difference in time between now and I can has cheezburger Is the same between I can has Cheezburger and the Berlin Wall falling

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

Blackbird in the style of Radiohead

I don’t know who needs to hear this but posting “new year, new me” on social media isn’t gonna fix you. That’s what pretty new notebooks are for obviously

Sometimes I think about how even when Trump and his crew are overthrown, the rest of the world will never trust American voters and politicians again and soft power was its most successful foreign policy, and while the ideologues in charge don’t understand that, Putin does

this is honestly demonic (in the most literal sense of the term)

I asked Robert Fripp for a handshake and he said, "No. That would be a commodity."

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Speech has never been freer! Not performing for the president is now illegal.

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.

If you ever thought, “Gee, this Radiohead song needs to be about 800% longer and slower”, this is the 39 minute experience for you!

Trump cares so deeply about Nigerian Christians that last week he banned them from getting any business, tourist, student, or immigrant visas. Merry Christmas!

Spread that Christmas cheer! 🎄🎅🏻🎁☃️ #CalvinandHobbes #Christmas

A little bit of White Christmas after all - just a fine dusting of snow here in Rottweil. Not a winter wonderland, but enough to bring a touch of calm, silence and holiday magic. Merry Christmas 🎅🎄

Just a reminder that Trump has, on camera, bragged about walking in on Miss Teen USA contestants changing and explained his 17-year-old daughter asked him not to “date” girls younger than her. I’m not sure what’s true in the Epstein Files, but when you recall those facts it all seems plausible

Remember when Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, wrote an op-ed trying to justify having sex with kids? Seems relevant now.

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.

Kash lied to congress.

Greenland has announced it will annex the United States, citing humanitarian concerns, chronic leadership instability, and an urgent need to protect valuable land from reckless mismanagement. Officials assured Americans they'll soon enjoy free healthcare, quieter politics, and less gold plating.

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

First question on KGB cognitive test is also a picture of lion, giraffe, fish & hippopotamus. They beat the shit out of you until you say the giraffe is the hippo. Explains a lot tbh.

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

“Climate action” is just another way to say “we want our beautiful complex planet to continue to be a good place to live, and to continue to be both beautiful and complex”. So much climate damage comes from assuming that Earth is simple, that it is easy to control and that it will bend to our will.

I’m convinced that this map is reflecting reality perfectly.

Trump has just added this vindictive plaque below Obama’s White House portrait and it bears all the childish pettiness and chaotic capitalisation of his 4am Truth Social rants.

“Disturbing… they had put in a ton of work and gone through every step of the process… they were pulled out of line steps away from swearing an oath to 🇺🇸…” BOSTON’s @mayorwu.boston.gov on Trump/Miller blocking immigrants AT THEIR CEREMONIES It was never just about illegal immigration

I second that! I think about this book ALL THE TIME! When I went digital I kept this book and @astrokatie.com 's "End of Everything." Both are very thought-provoking and have a permanent place in my head now.

Trump on Rob Reiner: He was a deranged person… Trump derangement syndrome. I was not a fan. I thought he was very bad for our country.
