Anyway what’s amazing is that it’s a vampire movie but the real monster is the inescapable labyrinth of the Jim Crow economy. www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...

Harrowing NY Times expose of the FBI, with some operational details of Minneapolis investigations & comments from ex-agents on the current federal occupation. The FBI is more fucked than you expect, which makes them less effective AND more dangerous. www.nytimes.com/interactive/... (gift link)

This is a mock up of a plan for total erasure of a population. Genocide per-se. Auctioned at the world's top conference for the rich. By the son in law of POTUS. But Harris would have been worse, somehow, I'm told.

Leave it to @vermontgmg.bsky.social to clearly, incisively articulate exactly the awful vibe I have about this week and all that Trump is doing, but couldn't quite put into words. A must-read on the historic, crushing moment the United States has found itself in because of our president:

Be the person who is horrified at ICE, not the person who is horrified that people are shocked by ICE

remarkable how much contempt this white house has for the nation’s historical and artistic treasures

Trump gutted the NWS so much that the forecast is for between 9 inches…and 22 inches of snow. Seems like a pretty gigantic difference, no?

Conservative shit rags have nothing on the mayor and it eats them up inside, so they have to publish absolute drivel like this (I’m sorry to even share it).

One of my favorite tracks by Yellow Fang, the criminally overlooked 2010s Thai indie band. My buddy and I saw them live at a club in Ekkamai (BKK), and they rocked.

I appreciate the Trump opposition, but please stop trying to make Gavin Newsom happen—he’s not what we need in this moment. Just look at the guests he’s had on his podcast to understand that this dude is not only willing but eager to make overtures to literal fascists.

Trump repeatedly said "Iceland" when he meant Greenland in his Davos rant. But his press secretary is just blatantly lying about it.

“Get your gear squared away, man, you look like a soup fucking sandwich” Grade-A Mainer insult

Nah, fuck that

Trump is giving a deranged, rambling monologue in Davos to an audience stunned into silence. He sounds incredibly tired, his voice raspy; he keeps trailing off into long pauses. It's jaw-dropping. The sanewashing headlines are going to say "Trump Doubles Down On Greenland Demand In Davos Speech"

things are bad! (gift link)

For once, a decent headline: Trump’s E.P.A. Has Put a Value on Human Life: Zero Dollars www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/c...

"China is the world leader in wind power generation, with the largest installed capacity of any nation" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_po...

Oral argument begins in 15 minutes...

The NYT is about to make the price of cabbage skyrocket

As a millennial between permanent opportunities (for the love of Gd if you have any leads in the journalism, library, archive or anything world, let me know), it was nice hearing this from Ted Danson and his soothing voice.

the sheer stupidity of this woman never ceases to amaze me. refusing to elaborate and outsourcing it to grok is really the cherry on top here

Tonight might be the night I finally check out this masterpiece of 80s horror schlock www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_7D...

Hear me out: candy payot based on the Nerds Rope™ design, with a THC-infused option for our groovier Hasids

The entire White House press corps, if they are/want to be on the right side of history, should burn their press passes and take turns telling Trump exactly what he is to his face. The fact that this badly made-up, pants-shitting, STUPID pathological liar is so guarded from criticism is a crime.

I’m old enough to remember that “conservatives”—especially evangelicals—would’ve lost their fucking minds the moment any president cursed and defamed the office as much as this ghoul does on an hourly basis. Trump doesn’t just lack class, he’s a class void; a classhole.

Happy birthday, David-we all miss you terribly.

Need to re-up this classic because seriously FUCK DONALD TRUMP forever. Cannot wait till all the salt, fats, amphetamines, hate and lack of physical activity does its thing because it’s gonna be the best party the world has ever seen.

The moment it was crystal clear we were in the worse case scenario, was exactly a year ago when Trump pardoned every single Jan 6 perpetrator, including the ones that beat the crap out of cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy.

He's just straight-up telling everyone that he's deployed a vicious occupying force to brutalize an American state and terrorize every non-white resident because they didn't vote for him

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

The Founders (rightly) thought financial corruption was so concerning they banned it in the Constitution three separate times: the two emoluments clauses, and the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Starting in 2017, America decided it just kinda didn't matter anymore, whatcha gonna do.

This being in People magazine is why the Trump administration is fucked

in fairness, what do you expect us to do about it, other than what we’re doing? Civil war? Armed insurrection? What? oh , what Europeans did to protect their Jewish citizens when they were being hauled off to camps. That sort of what.

Once again, the fact that we are betraying the Danes & have betrayed the Canadians - quite, literally, the closest of our closest treaty allies - this way is a national shanda that should have immediately ended this presidency a year ago & should immediately end it now.

So that is why Gavin Newsom has been laying the groundwork for his presidential campaign by heavily signifying to fascists that the hears them and is willing to listen & even concede to their bullshit. It is why there is no reason to believe that he, himself, is not a fascist or fascist sympathizer.

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.

Release these and watch the lunatic wither and die. Too bad Congress is useless

This is 100% correct and the EU should do it immediately. The USA will break if a bunch of entitled Americans suddenly can’t book get-aways in Paris.

Once this song enters one’s head, there’s no removing it

The fact that Hegseth is still gainfully employed under this administration tells you everything you need to know about how inept and clueless our supposed leaders are. In no functioning society would this worthless piece of shit be an officer, let alone Sec. of Defense

Stay warm, stay safe New York.

Is there another official music video that looks as much like a cheap East Asian karaoke knockoff than this one?

The division has lost over $77 billion since its inception in 2020.

Fuck Nazis, fuck misogynists, fuck human traffickers, and fuck anybody that platforms and (tacitly) supports these views in any way

"Clash" has become the most common word used to hide state violence. It's certainly mealy-mouthed; but not neutral. It's the "both sides" of coverage of even mild discord on the streets. At its worst, agents shoot a person but members of the public also "clash" with them by yelling mean words?

it's crazy that there's isopod species spanning from the deep ocean to arid deserts while still looking basically the same. this is a message against fast fashion trend chasing. find a look that is truly timeless and for all locations, like the isopod body plan
