This is a politician who understands that this is not an indulgence, it's an investment. Every public space where you can have fun and not spend any money is probably more of a crimebuster than 100 cops.

Imagine how this clip would hit when the person being asked is on trial for their life.

Trump years have been instructive because it's been clear that nobody in the GOP actually hates the inevitably bad things about communism. Secret police, personality cults, gulags, kleptocracy, party loyalty tests, martial law, even central planning. Just the concept of people with less having more.

@chriswade.bsky.social Listened to Hell on Earth again, still brilliant work. Any chance shirts come up again in the future?

literally this meme:

my union negotiated an $8,000 lump sum to be put directly into my bank account last week. so far i’ve paid $923 in union dues since starting this job last year. pretty good return on investment.

The prophecy will be fulfilled.

A report on the ground from the ICE shooting in Biddeford that should make every parent in this country lose their minds:

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

As a US politician you can routinely call for, and use your considerable power to vote for and agitate for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people around the world and it doesn't count as killing them for some reason. A person who does that is not a killer for some reason.

There’s a fascinating Connor McGregor poly market at where he’s in a fat suit, sees the odds favoring the other guy, and says “no chance” and rips off his fat suit. The ad is literally selling the idea that prediction markets are for insider trading and that’s their advantage.

Users with John Brown pfps when you say ‘By any means necessary’

This should be seen as what it is: a recruitment pitch.

I keep thinking about this Alex Ross painting of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen that is, for some reason, also the cast of 30 Rock

Hell yeah

I hope Jenny Racicot can find peace & I am sorry that she was put in this position & in awe of her courage.

It was @banditelli.org who i first saw share the “Never trust someone who names their charity or business after their area code.” maxim

Happy Fourth of July. An important day to remember the courage and wisdom of our Founding Fathers.

The premise here, repeated throughout American history, is that only some kind of mental manipulation could make white people enjoy art by black people. You start acknowledging black cultural contributions as valuable it’s a slippery slope to seeing black people as people bsky.app/profile/left...

Lonesome Dove and the English novel it inspired: Lord of the Rings.

Hm. No they didn’t.

Oh, so the answer to the parent who is worried they can’t pay for their kid to go to college is bigotry towards trans people and violence toward children. Got it. Vote Blue in November!

They need to get all of the damn stems out of the sliced banana peppers, but this is a good first step.

It had started to seem like a good idea to get a gun

"It feels that this ceasefire agreement is the biggest lie that has been told to the whole world" Maram, a student in Gaza, speaking to Hind Khoudary

Guy living in a country where every third TV show is about how great cops are and three pedos in the same group chat own every news outlet: Thank God I don't live in a hell of propaganda like China

Chuck likes them and likes what they're doing to trans kids.

Today no different than yesterday. Awful people telling you the sky is red. You know in your heart what is good and just. Never cede that ground and know every act they take against that voice can illustrate their hate to someone else.

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

sports are about learning teamwork, how to work hard, how to win, and how to lose. this is the spectator or gambler's view of sports, not the player. But thats capitalism. It poisons everything.

crying at this narration of one of the Malik Beasley games from the indictment

They showed me a better example of masculinity than I had ever seen before, and modeled a creative use for self-destructive desires, that they might lead to glorious self-expression. That I never ended up being a man at all is no one's fault... www.welcometohellworld.com/decades-of-g...

have you heard this sort of urgency from Democrats about anything Trump has done

I just checked again and still no major or even minor news outlet has even breathed her name.

I think the thing I like the most about Claire Valdez is that she not only takes bold stands in support of trans people, but that when people on the right try to use those positions to attack her, she's just like, "yes, that is correct."

new anti-AI lobbying strategy just dropped

“The President is doing great, we’re pumping him full of experiments as we speak” was the hardest I laughed on The Funniest Day on Twitter.

it's true that AI is wrong and looks like shit, but personally the most repellent part of it is that the people who use it of their own accord are doing it because they believe what rich people say and do what rich people tell them to do

Pales in comparison to someone not being able to get any medical care, but we, luckily, have Medicaid, however, my wife can't work and I personally can't afford to get even a slightly higher paying job because then we'd make too much money that we'd be obligated to get insanely expensive coverage.

The United States is going to eat way more shit than what was in the MOU and there's no way the MOU holds, but given our casus belli, it is morally good, right, and just that we eat the most shit, because we persecuted this war from the very beginning as an atrocity and morally deserved failure
