arsonist proposes water to soften the blow of his fires

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

American exceptionalism is Americans navel-gazing themselves into never being able to improve their government

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

CNN did not include this fact in their story about AT&T ending diversity initiatives, but they should have. we should have to reckon with the fact that AT&T has chosen to do today what a neo-nazi organization tried to force them to do 40 years ago. the nazis don't even have to ask anymore.

men please stop being weird like this, you're making us all look bad you dorks

Reminder that Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries and Steny Hoyer endorsed Henry Cuellar, and James Clyburn went to Texas to campaign for him in the 2022 Democratic primary against Jessica Cisneros after they all knew Cuellar was under investigation by the FBI

absolutely media reform is essential

the headline here is: ICE kidnaps 6-year old boy passive voice is destroying all meaning in journalism

"respected journalist" using the nazi site to try and shame a shameless nazi

so there's people on here right now sharing AI images of popular cartoonists' work as ha-ha funny stuff and I would like them all to please stop because it is not ha-ha funny to put fake AI images of real things in the world, it will deceive people

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that last year 39,345 people died in traffic crashes. The Governors Highway Safety Association says 7,148 pedestrians were killed by cars. When are we going to "reform" that one?

I missed this milestone - over 10,000 nights of acts at DNA Lounge in San Francisco (dnalounge.com) are now mirrored at the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/@dna... That's not shows - that's ACTS. Sometimes there are 3-4 acts a night. This is an incredible slice of live music.

if they ran this now some wankers would intentionally go out driving

James Carville is an embarrassing piece of shit who makes me not want to support Democrats every time I see him representing Democrats

I've never shopped a black Friday sale and I just want you to know that you can live without it

collective punishment that has no basis whatsoever, even if it was justified "the left" did not target and did not take out anyone the shooter was a product of your own poisoned ideology

Trump calls Governor Tim Walz “retarded.” How do MAGA parents justify the use of this word? How does Sen. Eric Schmitt, who has an autistic son, justify it?

as long as Stephen Miller refuses to assimilate into our culture, he should be made a pariah and cast out of it

too easy

Remember - if you're financially in a position to do so, skip the #BlackFriday deals online from big companies and shop instead from small and local businesses. The big guns don't need your money, but for small traders it can be what keeps them going into 2026, so support your community instead.

I'm not going to be sad if nazis get shot

being a higher ed person, I see how twitterx still owns the sports space - journos use it to report, coaches use it for recruiting, athletes feel like they need it to be visible. women's sports are certainly not positively served by having that cesspool as a backdrop, could lead the way outta there

in what ways could men becoming monks be beneficial for women who are uninterested in the constraints of patriarchal society? and men of the same mindset? discuss

Look I keep saying this - the most nuns I personally met or know about were women uninterested in the constraints of patriarchal society. While the church of course has those too a convent still frees you up from marriage to men and pressures to have children, and gives you access to education.

counterpoint: it's OK to not try to understand extremely stupid things

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

think of 207 billion dollars as 207,000 bags of 1 million dollars that could otherwise go to that many other productive things for our society

"left-coded" and "right-coded" is tiny-brained dummy shit that forces us into extremely basic and counterproductive tribes
