Idiots don't remember that Prometheus ends up chained to a rock having an eagle eat his liver every day, only to have it grow back every night. Like all of this ilk they rarely read the whole story....

so "testing" means violating, got it

I just got a haircut in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and the closest I could get to tell the barber what I wanted was to show an old picture of Morrissey, so he started blasting the Smiths as he cut my hair. 🤣

this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press

the admin that imprisoned and tried to deport a student over a pro-Palestinian op-ed, calling it anti-semitism, calls outrage over "I love Hitler" texts by young Republicans "pearl-clutching"

Probably an unrealistic expectation but it still seems unfair that a musical governess never rescued me from my unhappy childhood.

I fear that schools being willing to drop diversity programs without a fight shows how flimsy their commitment to inclusion was in the first place. People fight for things they truly believe in.

Oh, you mean fall as in autumn, not as in "of civilization."

AirBnB-ing and Nothingness

The first part is also a problem, though.

It’s impossible to know what historic figures would think about contemporary issues, but I’ve read a lot about Eisenhower and I’m confident Ike would have nothing but contempt for Trump.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

They lied to help Trump win. Never forget it, never forgive it

Remembering how the media reported that the Trump campaign not only denied intent to follow Project 2025, but insisted that anyone associated would be barred from the administration. @politico.com had a big piece about it.

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

amazing watching tradcath converts discover they are protestants.

American Christians deciding the Pope doesn't know the Bible because he said immigrants are human is the perfect summary of the evangelist movement

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

We laugh at this shit -- I mean, how can you not? -- but it's serious: these guys want to infuse reactionary thinking into AI and then infuse AI into every nook & cranny of American life. They can't win the argument so they are trying to blunt-force their views onto us with money & power.

i don't understand conservative toughness, which involves being scared shitless of everything but also talking about how tough you are

So DoorDash will start advocating for more bike lanes, right?

That's part of why I wrote this. It's important to understand that MAGA is not "real" America. On the contrary, the reason they're all so fucking bitter is they know most people aren't like them. And they resent that. www.salon.com/2025/10/01/m...

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

A new report from Bright Line Watch finds experts now rate the U.S. as a "mixed" or "illiberal" democracy. The rating is dragged down by Trump's attacks on institutions, a weak legislature, political violence, and partisan gerrymandering www.gelliottmorris.com/p/experts-no...

Federal employees across the government reported seeing similar messages. Experts say the messages may violate ethics laws meant to keep partisan politics out of day-to-day governing.

The children are the future

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

The piss tank on the ISS is now 69% full.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

“Tapeheads” 1988

Let me get this straight: Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump called our highest ranking military officers away from their posts on the eve of a government shutdown to trash women and disavow the laws of war that help protect our service members when they fall into enemy hands?

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

An unprecedented violation of our civic and Constitutional traditions. Calling every military leader in the world back to the U.S. to hear a wildly inappropriate partisan campaign speech followed by a fascist call to use the military against Americans.

American Protestantism is a dead-eyed, grinning husk with nothing animating it but hysterical fear of death and a sadistic desire to inflict punishment.

The U.S. president just ordered all the military generals to an unprecedented gathering in Washington, then told them that they should plan to participate in a war on American cities.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Trump is now claiming to have ended eight wars since he entered office, up from seven last week

can you imagine sitting in that audience as a three-star flag officer — decades in the service, multiple post-grad degrees and a virtually unequaled level of command expertise — and being forced to watch this dunderheaded dry drunk give an off-brand jordan belfort seminar?
