The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

I went to the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center and Francis Fukuyama knew you

As promised, forewarned, I have written about my most recent rewatch of DEADWOOD. I think it is one of the most profound, sophisticated, and relevant works of art in recent American history. To the 8 of you hoopleheads who will actually find this interesting, I hope you enjoy.

Who asked for a California Post!? Which one of you sickos pitched A Page 6 Hollywood in the year of our lord 2026?

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus. FOSS nerds: the Torment Nexus cannot be ethical until it is Open Source

i think it's cool how zohran was like, yea i made some mistakes during the first snowstorm, so i'm gonna take everything i learned and do better this time around, and so far it seems like he has. accountability! responsiveness!

having a stress dream about a college exam is so embarrassing. like ma’am, you’re closer to menopause than graduation, please get a new fear.

I hate how much this is me lol

My family’s grocery bill has increased by 30 percent since this time last year. Extremely sustainable economic situation we have in these United States.

Spanish nonprofit Maldita.es uncovered how TikTok's algorithm pays creators to spread AI-generated political disinformation and fuel polarization across Europe. To learn more, Justin Hendrix spoke to Maldita’s Carlos Hernández-Echevarría and Marina Sacristán. www.techpolicy.press/how-to-get-p...

February - 2026. Trump has shut down TSA Precheck. Airports are now battlefields.

I always thought the whole "they want you dead" thing was just hyperbole. But I guess this makes the entire raw milk, no vax, more asbestos stuff make a lot more sense.

If it wasn't for that legal dept, Kia Sorento would be a killer Star Wars name.

you don't have to like it, but this is what peak progressivism looks like the left will go so much farther if it embraces patriotism and joy as a rallying cry to aspire for the country to be better

SCOTUS when you mess with the neoliberal consensus

*very* striking to me that trump's two big losses at SCOUTS--first the fed, now tariffs--are both about core macroeconomic institutions, namely free trade and an independent central bank. "go nuts on culture, go nuts on immigration, but DO NOT TOUCH the neoliberal consensus"

This picture is so crazy that if you had this as a scene in a made-for-TV dystopian scifi movie in like 2014 people would switch channels because you’d ruined the suspension of disbelief.

Trump's cortisol levels skyrocketing after being brutally SCOTUSmogged and failing to tariffmaxx the moids and foids.

yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests

AND I JUST BROKE GROUND ON MY MANLY MANUFACTURING FACTORY!

Taught a class on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion today, and every one of my students said they've seen content on TikTok that comes directly from it, without knowing before today what the source was.

Yes. As a capitalism-sympathetic social democrat, I believe we have a duty to markets to ensure money can act as a disciplinary measure. We have literally reached the fail state of money. Elon can lose 90% of his wealth and functionally lose no practical value. We broke the invisible hand.

Yoon and Prince Andrew wishing they had a friend like John Roberts.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

Fuck all these interpretations by precious thespians. Let the man himself speak. Attention must finally be paid.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

"Is there a technology that the left is excited about???"

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

I see they settled on a framing in the donor group chat

You see — Overt time much money built up over here will produce downstream consequences like what we see over here.

It's kind of funny how Hayek's (mostly correct) argument against central planning because concentrating that much economic power in one place inevitably lead to totalitarian behavior is also a pretty strong argument against like, extreme concentrations of wealth and market power

Broadly speaking: reality tv is bad for democracy, influencers are bad for democracy, streamers are bad for democracy, YouTubers are bad for democracy. Exceptions to all categories exist, but it’s astonishing how absolutely clogged our political and media ecosystems are with low-info narcissists

Counterpoint: if the Prince of Darkness rises from a fiery portal at the Iowa Caucus and declares his opposition to Donald Trump, I will ride to battle with the host of Hell

America’s elites are self-loathing and insecure cosmopolitans who love to see their views reflected in someone who codes as more “authentic” then them, many such cases.

i think you can judge how free - or not - our political media is by the fact that elon musk literally did a sieg heil (twice) at a rally and it’s still seen as uncouth and overly partisan (in legacy media) to describe his politics as straightforwardly white supremacist.

[bong rip] just as post-war Japan preserved and intensified the “American Prep/Ivy look”, Mormon Utah has preserved and intensified “Orange County and DFW culture”

AOC is at the Munich Security conference talking about the importance of reaffirming the transatlantic alliance while JD Vance is in Discord servers with teens who use jestergoon unironically.

One of my more controversial opinions is that the US needs to significantly raise taxes to the tune of a couple % of GDP right now, even before any expansive social democratic reforms, and that means you—yes you, dear highly educated professional—will need to pay up, not just nebulous billionaires.
