The fact you’re all so upset about it is proof positive that taking a crap on the kitchen table is a legitimate form of visual art.

Sidenote: I think yanks sometimes miss how confusing their terminology is. I have an uncle who moved to New York back in the day who's black Caribbean in British ethnic clarification terms, which contrasts here with black African. So he spent a while objecting to people saying he's African American.

I don't think NYT should know peace until they divulge the full chain of decision making that led to the laundering of Nazi propaganda against a leading anti-fascist politician the same day fascism was codified in Congress.

Cremieux’s real name is Jordan Lasker. I put his name in the newspaper. He’s a scientific racist www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

SCOOP: Mamdani did something even we are forced to concede wasn't what it we are also making it sound like, to no tangible gain, for a college he didn't go to, 15 years ago. Our anonymous source is political activist Adolf Hitler

“At a meeting with constituents in 2019, Mandami told a 3-year old that Mandami had gotten the toddler’s nose. The real story was it was just Mandami’s thumb in his hand” - The NYT, probably

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

Take it from me—a guy who has made a big deal out of my fussy procedural and optics objections to every protest in my entire adult life—my fussy procedural and optics objections to the current protest are a big deal

Easily over 1,000 people outside the federal detention center in LA, with another 2,000+ at City Hall.

hey don't forget to turn off biometric access to your phone and if you did happen to forget, in an emergency, pressing the power button 5 times on your iphone will lock it & it can't be unlocked again without the passcode even if you were silly & left face ID on 🙂

beginning to suspect that LA wants ICE to fuck off

the decision to "be safe" is no longer yours to make. the state has decided to make us unsafe. but you can make informed choices, take calculated risks, and you can decide to be powerful.

protect your eyes, protect your head. "less lethal" munitions are lethal when fired directly at a human being and cops love to use them this way. pepperballs will take your eye out, a tear gas canister can fracture your skull. cops will kill you on purpose and by accident, all with impunity.

democratic senator from cali preemptively blaming protesters as video starts rolling in from the streets of national guard troops shoving and pepper-praying reporters, kids, and old people with signs.

L. Brent Bozell III, who Trump tapped to become ambassador to South Africa, was in a coalition that opposed Nelson Mandela's political party during apartheid. After Mandela died, Bozell, criticized news coverage that "mythologizes" the South African leader. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trumps-...

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

"Because this is capitalism, AI is more than a toy and a liberator of free time: it's the latest, and possibly the most complete means of capturing and imprisoning the soul."

Border czar Tom Homan is on CNN complaining that Chicago is “very well educated” and people “know their rights” too well for ICE to be able to enforce mass deportations. Good work, neighbors.

“an extraordinary break from decades of legal precedent” is a weird way of saying “illegal” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump doesn’t have the law on his side. What he has is power. Historically speaking, when the “rule of law” comes up against raw power and a dictator willing to use it, the rule of law always loses.

If Australia had bold leadership - or even leadership open to obvious opportunities - they would scrap AUKUS now it is obvious those subs will never materialise, and use a small portion of the savings to double federal research funding immediately.

US accuses RSF of genocide, which is accurate. A reminder that the RSF is supported by the UAE, a US ally. www.reuters.com/world/us-imp...

Cannot wait for the day my fridge locks me out because I can no longer afford the subscription service or stops working because it’s aged out of the manufacturer supporting the software.

The key takeaway is that the world’s richest man got what he wanted; stripped our cancer funding for kids, killed reforms to bring down drugs prices and caps on investment in China. Trump on the other hand demanded a debt ceiling raise and got nothing.

The only recent historical figure who claimed expertise in as wide a variety of disciplines as Musk was Stalin. Also lauded by his followers.

Step three: Protect PEOPLE, not the institutions.

Zauberberg, Buddenbrooks, Mann ohne Eigenschaften, Verbrechen und Strafe, Krieg und Frieden, Der Turm, Witiko, Middlemarch, Anna Karenina, Finnegans Wake.

I was looking forward to eggs being cheaper so I could pelt Republicans with them without breaking the bank. Just one more way this administration is fucking up my day. Thanks Donald.

I remember in the Blog Era journalists were obsessed with "conflicts of interests" for bloggers and I was like have you seen your opinion page contributors

“We’re not going back” was just a slogan. It wasn’t a promise. It wasn’t a commitment to action. It wasn’t about truly opposing Trump even if Harris lost. Like Pelosi’s hand clap, a gesture of opposition is all they can muster.

Ingraham: The instagram posts from nut bag people ..people celebrating. This this is a sickness, honestly, it's so disappointing, but I guess we shouldn't be surprised.. up next, the other big news out of New York, Daniel Penny, a lot of people think he is a hero.

Ah yes, what could be more “stabilising” than “dozens of airstrikes”

That’s a threat, obviously.

It’s actually happening. The Assad regime is going to fall.

can't they just put their execs in glass cases that you have to get an employee to open for you

I do not care about Hunter Biden. I don't believe anyone does. But the pardon was *uncouth*. And the hidden value system of our media and political elites is to defend the social order. That, more than anything, is why they prove so useless in resisting Trump II. open.substack.com/pub/davekarp...

Sarah Schwartz, a legal director at the Human Rights Law Centre, said the recommendations “risk making the University of Sydney one of the most restrictive university campuses for peaceful protest and free speech in the country” - cool cool cool. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

12yo: That’s the guy from the Minecraft movie trailer. Me: Did you just refer to Jason Momoa as “the guy from the MINECRAFT movie??” 12yo: Yes? Me: I have to get you some culture.

Wow that’s a tough one

This cartoon is literally just Plato's analogy of the ship of state, the OG anti-democracy argument. Its continued popularity is, in fact, very bad.
