I really take for granted just how much of my humor was shaped by the years of reading the big books of Calvin & Hobbes with my Dad and brother. Gave me permission to be a lil stinker, wildy imaginative, AND still a dumb kid all at the same time.

“Distributed by Angel Studios” Netlfix dropping this is one example I support of them “killing” a film. How did so many people sign onto this?! Seth Rogen—you just did The Studio and yet you also are leading THIS?

I mean, I love Miners too

It would be easy to see the listing for Predators online and think it another quick and dirty true crime doc churned out by Netflix upon quick glance. The film's mix of archival footage and crisp 4K interviews even walks the same line as that ilk. But Tiger King, this is not.

“‘Nobody ever loved me that much.’ And who’s ever been loved enough? Who’s ever been loved half enough? Would you get me a shot?”

which i think is what trips many "it's not fascism!!" commentators up. they are trying, but they have not succeeded. i think it is bad enough that they are trying. that alone is worth fighting.

i wrote about musk's claim the english are 'like hobbits' invaded by orc immigrants my 1st piece with @theunpopulist.net www.theunpopulist.net/p/even-by-a-...

Wouldn’t you know it; he’s also attached to THIS as well!

Who on earth would ever want to be attached to a project like this? *sees director* Ok that tracks

Pre-owned Yaris Gang rise up

Entering my *old man stares into the fireplace for hours* era

Moving to Helsinki was when it really clicked with me how much internalized homophobia there is in the states about men *eating ice cream* because here the most rough looking Paavo looking like he’s headed to a black metal show will be happily lickin on a cone without a care. Dudes rock.

If you want to feel something again, go watch Train Dreams (now on Netflix) on the biggest screen you can.

Made a podcast about the Three Stooges. Somehow got an interview at a think tank. Made a DnD reference in interview. Had a girlfriend who somehow didn’t break up with me despite my involvement in such an industry (podcasting—not think-tanking).

I used to think that the right wing move to identify pedophilia and grooming as particularly gay or trans was just queerphobia. But it’s also an attempt to deflect what should be a serious discussion about powerful men molesting underage girls.

The promise of "no new wars" has proven to be all slogan and no substance.

lol

Acting like Mamdani is going to put Zionists in camps when there are literal Nazis littering the GOP right now is insane

make them answer for why they care more about checking a child’s underwear than whether you can afford your electric bill!

Stolen from the other place:

Dick Cheney, the gay marriage advocate?

All the pundits and news outlets that bought into these schmucks’ transparent nonsense about antisemitism at the Ivies should reflect for a few minutes on how badly and easily they were played.

They went pretty seamlessly from demanding we have to effusively honor Charlie Kirk's legacy to mainstreaming Nick Fuentes.

"The system that we have today is completely unfit for the kinds of challenges that we have." - Drew Penrose on the benefits of proportional representation #LibCon2024

I had a lot of fun on this one

One of the best parts of my job is getting to hear these chats before anyone else. For a short time I feel like the smartest person in the world (and now you can too). Subscribe to The Reconstruction Agenda, hosted by @andycraig.bsky.social, a new project from @theunpopulist.net!

Look, you probably have a lot of podcasts on your plate, but this is the inaugural episode of a new one from @andycraig.bsky.social, and Andy is one of the smartest, most informed, and most principled people I have the pleasure of knowing, so this is very much a give it a listen.

Deeply racist, yes, but also deeply stupid. Rural counties have higher enrollments than urban ones. Some of the largest enrollment states are red ones like Louisiana, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible. Most beneficiaries are required to work 80 hrs/month.

"Donald Trump will not be in power forever, and neither will his enablers and co-conspirators. In the aftermath of such a dramatic constitutional collapse, there must be accountability, but there must also be rebuilding." My new project at @theunpopulist.net:

The No Kings Day is a good day to start planning for a post-Trump future and rebuild a country where someone like him never gets near the White House again. And that is what we are doing at @theunpopulist.net. By @andycraig.bsky.social www.theunpopulist.net/p/this-no-ki...

WITNESS ME

In my latest piece for The Unpopulist, I wrote about the convolutions of the Epstein story and how the throughline is MAGA using children to achieve their political ends. For MAGA, what's supposed to be about the children is never about the children.

"[The American right] wants to destroy the world around them. There's not one single principle or transcendent value. There's just the will to dominance." - Tom Palmer, #LibCon2025

the civil rights movement is worth studying in terms of its actual reality--in terms of the strategical and tactical intention that went into its actions--not just as a sainted icon in the american pantheon. www.liberalcurrents.com/how-to-win-a...

The Trump administration is using the shutdown to ramp up its commitment to the Project 2025 blueprint for government. @landryayres.bsky.social

lol can you *imagine* the kind of stuff in JD Vance group chats. (i mean, yes very easily)
