Every once in a while I wonder what happened to Pete Hegseth as a child that turned him into a misogynist drunk rapist who gets off on killing people and feels like he has to cosplay a level of masculinity that forces one into such a tight, malignant box. Whatever it was, it must have been bad.

If Batman were real he’d be extraditing Pete Hegseth to The Hague the way he went after that dude in Hong Kong in The Dark Knight

I do appreciate that this administration is too incompetent to manufacture even the thinnest pretext for this, so we don't have to relive that 2002-2003 run when opposing an obviously idiotic war basically made you feel like the one sane person in a Twilight Zone episode.

The Ides of March has the chance to do the funniest thing this year

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

we dont have the money for universal health care but we have tons of money for concentration camps and a surveillance society

No more room in America to house regular people, but there's always plenty of space for hard drives and detention centers

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This man makes me proud to be a fellow son of Camden County. Almost everyone I grew up with was one or two generations removed from immigrants. We all had stories of discrimination in our families. Today’s immigrants deserve the dignity, safety, and freedom that we all enjoyed.

15 years after his death, Macho Man is still the face of Slim Jim. THAT is immortality.

Why do we call them “dramedies” and not “commas”

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

One thing I really loved about the halftime show was how it featured Ricky Martin so prominently. Yes, he was a trailblazer in the Latin Explosion of the 90s, but he’s also openly gay—meaning Bad Bunny wants EVERYONE to be proud of who they are.

I don’t know how anyone could watch that halftime show and think anything other than “Bad Bunny seems like a really righteous dude”

Worst Drake Super Bowl loss since last year

A reminder to the haters it takes this many states to outnumber the American citizens in Puerto Rico (~3.5m v. ~3.2m)

Easily the most emotional I’ve ever been about a halftime show. That was fucking incredible.

Know your rights, no matter where you live. Protect each other.

a truly annoying thing I've noticed recently is places using minutes-long video instructions instead of written ones for things that would take 15 seconds to read

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

What authority does ICE have to arrest or detain citizens who witnessed a homicide?

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Governor I was not familiar with your game

Married father of two here. We just want health care, child care, housing, and higher education that doesn’t economically enslave us. This is a theocratic plan for a return to 1950s patriarchy. We just need 1950s tax rates.

Wait, hold up: they didn’t just blow it out of the water? Because I thought that was this administration’s whole deal now. apple.news/ASa1C7IGQT0W...

Five years ago, a group of unAmerican terrorists attacked the Capitol trying to foment a coup. They were violent and misguided. The mob was enflamed and inspired by a self-absorbed tyrant. Don't let them rewrite history.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

They didn’t consult Congress—our representatives—before invading Venezuela. Our federal tax dollars pay for this debacle. Ergo, taxation without representation. Remind me again why these same yahoos celebrate Independence Day?

finally, we're living through precedented times

Find me the conservative parents with kids in daycare who would be okay with a group of anonymous men, some masked, some with cameras, being allowed without their permission into their kid’s daycare in the middle of the day to *film their kids*. Find me one.

I got to spend a couple of lovely days with Mr. Whitlock shooting some mocap for a video game. As a diehard Wire fan, I was a bit tongue-tied at first, but he couldn’t have been kinder or funnier. And yes, he said “the word” more than once, while telling the tale of how he tried to copyright it.
