I've got a suggestion on where he can retire.

Currently reading this right now. Strikingly relevant and prescient despite first being published in 1997.

Good! More of this

I’m so sick of people throwing their hands up and saying abolishing ICE isn’t possible right now. Abolishing ICE is extremely popular and calls to do so will only continue to grow, meanwhile conservatives manage to do incredibly unpopular things all the time because nobody stops them

"people who wrote about covid school lockdowns causing harm to kids should be writing about minnesota's schools being closed" yeaaahhhhhhh but like. we knowwwwwwww they won'ttttttt. and we knooooowwwww why

I turned this thread into a blog post with a better set of links: naomikritzer.com/2026/01/21/h...

Could a Democrat, any Democrat, release a statement actually thanking the people that have been out there doing the fucking work instead of this constant scolding tone for the love of God

Frankenstein is Guillermo Del Toro's love letter to daddy issues.

Here are some Oscar nominations I'd like to see tomorrow that are highly unlikely. gossipreadingclub.substack.com/p/oscar-seas...

A very good thread:

Me texting my friend about going to see The Testament of Ann Lee:

Psychedelevator Mixed media on cardstock

This makes me feel more patriotic than the national anthem ever could

28 Lays Later: The Bone Zone

So what's everyone up to this Fri-Day-Night?

Truly the Kamp Krusty of universities:

This is from the Vonnegut museum, and apt as ever.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

proud to announce that i have begun work on the people’s dilbert, an all-trans adaptation of scott adams’ legendary comic

Old guard Portland political operatives showing their whole asses.

Pretty willd how the DOJ just straight up stopped releasing the Epstein files even though they're legally obligated to do so.

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

Worth noting that people’s “gang affiliation” is often that they are in danger for trying to leave them.

They're always lying but they are most especially lying if they are talking about gangs

Sorry I haven't been looksmaxxing, I've been focused on chillmaxxing. 😎😎😎

Do any of these plaques ever fly out of the fuckin' wall and make a vagina trumpet?

Framing that ICE agents just don't have enough training is shit. This presumes they'd be fine if you just gave ICE more money and training. They won't. Abolish ICE.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.” So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

In any event: remember that the real race in NY-12 is the primary, because whoever is the Democrat on the ballot is the one who will win. Conway is running to push out Democrats, not to beat a Republican.

Halt and Catch Fire Succession

(sitting on a backwards chair) you know who else jams econo?

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

If I had a nickel for every time an actor in a major 2025 movie played two different guys in the same scenes convincingly, I'd only have 10 cents, but it's weird that it happened twice.

this is the sort of thing that makes me genuinely question every dipshit centrist at Reason and elsewhere who is like "Can't we just get along?"

These goobers

you ever notice how transit cuts in the biggest city in the state aren’t talked about as a political risk for the governor, despite being vastly worse for transit riders than an unnoticeable gas tax increase is for drivers?

You sure about that?
