The snort I let out when I saw the plaintiff and got through the third sentence of the summary.

Well worth reading. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o... Quote below is from Jamelle Bouie.

Trump can be stopped if we have the courage to stop him.

When elected Democrats only offer tepid resistance, that sends an unmistakable signal to other institutions that nobody is going to have their back.

genuinely believe that a large number of political, economic and media elites do not realize that nearly half the voting public did not vote for trump

Biggest story in the world, told in the mainstream press perfectly well: AP/PBS headline: TRUMP'S MOVES AGAINST MEDIA OUTLETS MIRROR AUTHORITARIAN APPROACHES TO SILENCING DISSENT www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Leaving aside the obvious first amendment problems, “people aren’t aloud to say mean things about me” is just unparalleled loser energy. Absolute weenie shit. A laughed-out-of-the-room-level offense.

"You won’t be hearing proposals along these lines from the MAGAsphere, which is seeking to exploit men’s troubles, not solve them." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/exploiting...

generally speaking, and with the glaring exception of november 2024, the more directly democratic an institution has been, the better it has checked Trump (eg grand and petit juries); the more elite and insular, the less effective (the Senate, the Supreme Court, big business)

Don't be chickenshit.

Okay, to put an even sharper point on this: they are not even 9 months in and they are openly censoring *Jimmy fucking Kimmel* because he poked fun at the president for lack of empathy. These are desperate moves. They are desperate because they are weak and people are naming it.

i’d bet that it’s online tomorrow and gets more views than it would’ve if the show had gone on

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Gonna be quite a trick filling a whole hour without directly saying a single real thing Kirk said or espoused.

“fascist government controls media and bans dissent” is a straightforward description of what’s happening in the united states

If we see the other side of this, people who voted to confirm the likes of Patel and Kennedy need to be, at a minimum, stripped of committee assignments if not exiled from politics altogether.

The new TikTok US entity would be controlled by a consortium of Silver Lake, Andreessen-Horowitz, and Oracle. 80% US, 20% China ownership. One board member appointed by the US government. Existing users would be expected to shift to a new app (lol). Would not be surprised if this nukes usership.

I for one love to have my nation’s content moderated by like the same five guys with close links to the belligerent ruling faction

The reason why people like Vance want to resort to snitching and doxxing is because that's culturally where the online American right comes from when dealing with political opponents: they love speaking to people's managers.

hello 911? yea its me again…uh huh thats right, theyre still posting his exact quotes

Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

Went to ihop drunk at 4am and asked them to make the pancakes Evil. Maybe one of the best escapades I’ve Ever been on LMFAOOOOO

a question I often find myself asking these days: "are these the moves of a movement that feels that it's winning or one desperately afraid that it's about to lose everything?"

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

If sanitized, objective statements of fact about what a person believed or advocated for is seen by polite society as some kind of transgression, that kinda gives away the game about what kind of person they were. (It also kinda says something about polite society.)

You're going to see a lot of "he's a violent antifascist leftist" and "he's a groyper" but the core of Tyler Robinson's motivation is almost certainly that he's an online-poisoned idiot gamer.

Can’t help but reminded of

"Don't speak ill of the dead!" Brother there was like a 95% chance he spoke ill of you in some way, shape or form and did so *repeatedly* and *for profit*

one thing that would be nice would be to live in a world, online or off, that did not require you to harden your heart and adopt a full suit of cynicism just to move through life in relative peace

It's only a matter of time before it makes the jump to this site, but one of the Charlie Kirk videos is EXTREMELY graphic, so if that's gonna be a hard watch, you can update your settings to turn off autoplay. settings > content & media > autoplay video & gifs = off

[me, a very smart Dem politician] The President being repeatedly invoked in the world's most notorious sex trafficking operation is just a distraction from his One Big Bad Balderdash

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results: 1) Does UBI work? (yes) 2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

“Once surveillance data is collected, it is notoriously challenging to protect against federal misuse…Department of Homeland Security and ICE have successfully accessed data from the Washington Healthcare Authority and the Washington Department of Licensing. Seattle should not line up to be next.”

Look, yes, sure, Bari Weiss is a sociopath and an incompetent writer, and she lacks the basic mental equipment to know what an idea or a principle might be, but set that aside and focus on the question of whether she has any idea of what news journalism is or how it works (the answer is no)

Because I doubt @sfgiants.com will post it here.

Donald Trump Sir please prove the haters and losers wrong and walk briskly up a steep hill #TrumpWalkUpAHill

Okay this is getting out of hand
