Something way more people need to internalize and help their friends understand is that the *only* politics and culture that you can reproduce using pile-ons, networked harassment, doxxing, death threats and the like is a fascist one. It doesn’t matter what you think your motivations or politics are

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

maybe there was a time when it made sense, but i’ve come to the conclusion that social media dogpiles are always crappy, even when you agree with the mob’s point maybe it’s just my low-follower-mentality, but it is unfortunate how the incentives are against ppl letting it go and moving on

ok this is good, i laughed multiple times thru this variety.com/2026/tv/colu...

three bylines, six months late, almost zero new information we hadn't reported months ago. lowercased our name and mentioned deep in the story. no link to us. said they couldnt find the govt privacy document (we did). good job wall street journal

i mean this in the best way, but the “i’ve had it” hosts remind me of rush limbaugh. both in the way they are consistently entertaining and in the gleeful way they insult the opposition, down to how they have nicknames for everyone they hate.

They kidnapped the head of a Latin American country, replaced him with an insecure white racist who has spent his entire life arguing that Latinos are subhuman, and made clear that their primary aim is to plunder the country for its resources. If it isn't yet clear, yes, we're the fucking baddies.

The great isolationist ‘America First’ GOP President Donald Trump has in less than a year in office declared himself the ‘owner’ of Gaza and the ‘ruler’ of Venezuela.

this is also why exterminators will never get votes from “team roach” - why would a party that likes roaches ever vote for an exterminator, even if it’s a friendly one that plays with them, when they can just vote for a roach

the fact that tony dokoupil was already a cbs employee before trump’s takeover should be a reminder that while the maga movement has trashed our institutions, the institutions were inclusive of a lot of shitty people pre-takeover

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets. polymarket.com/@0x31a56e9E6...

starting in six weeks or so, you will hear right wing and centrist commentators on cable news, podcasts etc start to refer to Mamdani as if it's obvious that he's failed, extremely unpopular etc. its very important in order for their plot to succeed that any left wing pol be discredited

a grand scale looting, on a scale never before seen

geert is a made up name that a person racist about europeans came up with

this is the year it’s going to happen i can feel it in my bones

andy cohen's "am i excited about 2026? [pregnant pause] yeah. i... yeah. i mean, what's the alternative?" is the realest thing i've seen all night

the racism coming from the entire conservative movement targeting the somali community is so goddam disgusting and its just being completely ignored

libraries should have a nurse onsite with public office hours. they’d answer basic medical questions, (teens asking about puberty, adults asking about vaccine efficacy, etc), who corrects disinformation. an in-person cdc website, but who can also tell you what care you may need to seek (if any).

I was just alerted to the perfect joke

i should get into astrology

they should invent a year that's better than the one before it

RIP. I’ll forever hear the word shiiit in his voice

Who can ever forget this banger. We lost a real one.

ok at what age does the cdc now recommend kids start picking up dead bears and putting them in central park

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

🙁

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

"please welcome the voices of huntrix" no they're just huntrix now. they're huntrix and they fight demons

in 2006-2010 a bunch of people just stopped calling themselves republicans because they were so embarrassed by the bush years, that’s likely going on now too

another source bsky.app/profile/phil... f’ing amazing way for this to play out

The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.

If you got a problem, yo, I'll solvent, check out the gunk, isopropyl dissolves it

“The entire history of adversarial journalism depends on the premise that reporters can publish true, well-sourced information even when the subjects of that information would prefer they didn’t.”

casten has spoken before about how his impetus for joining congress was to help shape energy policy. it’s what he’s truly passionate about. yglesias picked a topic he really understands and cares about.

Between September(?) and now this is like the 3rd announcement of a vaccine change. They know they can overwhelm us by making it multiple stories over 3 months. I’m following this closely but I can’t keep the timeline straight- it’s intentional, but I don’t know what to call this method of attack.

why the fuck are their so many candid shots? who was taking these pictures?

this is clinton after trump blew him (trump is the one in the black box)

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

in every interview i’ve ever had for a job i’ve not gotten, none of the interviewers have ever followed up with me to tell me why i didn’t get hired. is this just something white people do for each other??

I’m at the combination Pizza Hut and Kennedy Center.

it’s under the broad authority of prosecutorial discretion

the more i think about this, the more i like it. the way all credit card companies are located in delaware, all football teams should relocate to indiana

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

assume it’s a statistically rounding thing but it seems like at least 1 person said “my finances kinda suck but overall economy is ok” which is funny

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.
