We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

One of the most absolutely insane and very fun podcasts is back! Give it a listen. The VA work is incredible, the story is ridiculous!

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

every epstein email is some creep complaining about MeToo and then being like “oh before i forget, any advice on how to use my position of authority to force women into sleeping with me?”

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much” SNAP does not drive up grocery prices. That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed. For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy. While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

Everything so stupid but I have faith it can get stupider

I've been using @pocketcasts.com for years! I paid for the app. They introduced a premium level and didn't grandfather in those who have paid. Now they've introduced banner ads that can't be closed. On an app I've PAID FOR. Time to find a new podcast app.

Liberals are unwilling to admit that there is a form of politics that exists in the world that centers around causing harm for pleasure, destroying things, and looting the rubble, and they're unwilling to admit that this politics has a stranglehold on the right

there's no contradiction between "hating trans people" and "wanting to fuck trans people". have you guys heard what men think of women

[the shooter is unidentified] the left must be purged with the sword [the shooter is, again, a compulsive masturbator who loved Hitler] I believe it was pascal who said that the heart has reasons that reason may not know

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

The one time we got the smoking gun of undeniable ideology that mapped neatly onto american partisanship in political violence was J6, and we decided it was too scary to treat it as such, so now we return to deciphering memes of school shooters like medieval peasants panicking at an eclipse.

one of the big things that happened in the background that a lot of people didn't see was the Groyper Wars - Fuentes and Kirk were beefing, Fuentes controls a bunch of insane white twinks who were intimidating everyone at conservative events

"I can't believe you Liberals don't want a nation peaceably united by the belief that only white, straight, Christian men should have rights."

The biggest scandal in US public life *ought* to be that we are the richest country in history & yet our infrastructure sucks, our transportation choices suck, our cities suck, our healthcare sucks, our public administration sucks, & in dozens of little ways, our daily lives suck.

If a dude offered to help you write crappy memos and essays, and you found out they were also helping children kill themselves, would you keep working with that dude?

For most of the last decade, our media and political class has panicked over the idea that progressives were intruding on free speech rights by loudly criticizing people with unpopular views. Anyway, here's far-right federal paramilitaries advertising that they'll rip down pro-immigrant messages.

Stalin ass shit

What is the point of having a constitution if it allows this? “Humans should not be subjected to torture” is an extremely basic principle that should never have to be explained or justified.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

on January 6th, while attempting to overthrow an election, multiple rioters wore Nazi paraphernalia. they declared their intent to murder elected officials. the right stood steadfastly behind them and are now more powerful than ever. you can stand behind someone waving a Mexican flag.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

Men who feel unmanly: if you've got a volunteer fire or EMS department in your community, I guarantee you they're desperate for help. Get your Firefighter 1 or EMT cert and literally be a hero and save lives.

so, arresting judges should be more than enough reason for complete obstruction at in the house and senate. complete obstruction. anything you can do. interrupt proceedings, deny consent, holds on nominations. everything.

one thing that Democratic politicians should take note of is that the overlap between “great political optics” and “actual morally good stuff” is really big right now

Say it with us: Constitutional crisis

TALK TO "MY DOCTOR" LOL - dashare.zone ADMIN

MSNBC just showed a montage of world leaders calling the USA idiotic, illogical, hostile, unhinged.... literally never seen anything like this. From the shining city on a hill to an object of global derision and contempt.

FACT: You don't destroy the CDC unless you want people to die in large numbers.

there aren't any words for how much I hate the people doing this. I wish every harm upon them, it is right and just to pray for such harm

Good. Booker is a smart guy and a good showman, glad someone has decided to play ball.

Good morning. Listen, you have to just decide. They are not taking the Black Smithsonian. Resolve it in your spirit.

BE SO BRILLIANT NONE OF YOUR ENEMIES WOULD DARE LOOK AT YOU.

getting absolutely bodied every day by canada was not on my bingo card

The situation at the NIH and for all biomedical and cancer cure research in the United States is MUCH MUCH WORSE than you realize.

Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees — roughly 700,000 union workers This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history

The Montana Bathroom ban is signed into law. Gianforte thanked the Alliance Defending Freedom and Riley Gaines in his address. This makes it against the law for trans people to use the bathroom in the airport, parks, the capitol building, and more. It also impacts me and my wife Zooey personally.

it's not sustainable to be this overwhelmed, sad, and decision fatigued every day

I'm happy to be a member of @maximumfun.org - it's a great way to support a lot of amazing podcasts, including one of my favorites @missiontozyxx.bsky.social

we are on the verge of curing maybe the worst cancer of all the cancers but the whole right wing media makes too much money scaring people about "mRNA vaccines" so time to toss that in the trash

what the right is offering young men is the subjugation of women in lieu of any material gains for men. that, like many components of fascism, feels very immediately rewarding to some people. it’s not something you can easily replicate on the left.

The "scolding" you always hear about is mostly a fabrication of right-wing propaganda. From prominent feminists to elected Democrats, progressive figures frequently show empathy toward men — as they should! Men are turning to Tate et al, because Fox is falsely telling them they're under attack.

I’m sorry people are rude to you online but if we’re talking about a political problem you need to tell me who *specifically* denies that men are struggling. The entire institutional left, from think tanks to mainstream publications to elected Democrats, acknowledge this constantly.

the biggest win the right-wing manosphere has gotten, imo, is convincing men that any solution to men’s problems has to be *specific to men* and, implicitly, somehow fuck over women (& trans & nonbinary people) in the process. it’s not enough for a solution to benefit *everyone*.

They aren't getting scolded. Stop with this shit. They aren't the center of peoples worlds anymore and they feelings are hurt.
