Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

boosting this and adding another story: last night at dusk I saw traffic stopped on Dunbrack near Lacewood for someone crossing, and there was someone else crossing from the other side. one car simply did not see/wait for the second pedestrian and drove through as soon as the first one passed.

People are still doing “there aren’t going to be midterms” posts as we see these people struggle to handle a guy in a frog costume

“we are reneging on previous deals you’ve made with us until you make another deal with us” wow l can’t think of any reason this strategy ain’t working

Juno is a clam dunk champion 🏀

this is a dark day for california's many historic downtown parking lots and strip malls

The total, multidimensional failure of elite accountability in 🇺🇸 politics & society, illustrated in one move:

like don't post a Steve Brule gif if it has text on it like "what the eff?" simple as

reaction gifs with text over them explaining the intended reaction are extremely boomer* coded *boomer in spirit if not in age

10% increase in traffic on already congested bridges. If you hate traffic, this has added over 10,000 vehicles per day, vehicles that clogging up the roads. Vehicles that *literally* weren’t willing to pay $1 to make their trip

Halifax (and Nova Scotia), appointments for COVID and flu vaccines are now available to book! novascotia.flow.canimmunize.ca/en/booking/c...

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Losing the war on woke

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

the NYT's Harvard thing is genuinely weird. imagine being obsessed with the politics and social standing of a school you went to three decades ago

The President of the United States is living in an alternate reality and it's long past time for media outlets to start talking about it. We're beyond "Trump said without evidence." Trump is governing a world that only exists in his warped mind.

A reliable fascism indicator is how many C-tier companies cave preemptively to the possibility of a benny johnson tweet with three sirens

Still waiting for a more efficient explanation of everything than "Everyone got brain damage from Covid": the airline executives charging a $155 predatory premium for legroom, the guy deciding to customize his own flight experience, the chain of command aborting the whole flight—busted mind-traffic!

really can’t say enough about how mike johnson is a sniveling little coward of a man. a bayou-bred pushover with a dignity deficit that would embarrass renfield

I love how Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and #2 in line for the presidency, is always like, “What? News?! I never read or hear anything that happens in the world, anywhere. I’m totally offline. What even is ‘social media’? They play news all day on TV!? Wow! That’s a surprise!”

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

for all Apple's talk about how much computational photography helps capture great shots, my iPhone sure loves to lock focus on mesh screens behind the subjects I'm quite obviously attempting to photograph!

Can you even claim to be a McDonald's fan if you don't wear this incredible sweatshirt everywhere you go? (1995)

If you look at the sheer insanity of what government officials and agencies openly post on XShitter, it becomes abundantly obvious how much the press is complicit. If Dems did even a fraction of this poasting it would be saturated in news coverage.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

modern conservative praxis — even the ones who still label themselves progressive conservatives — is almost uniformly to take best practices the rest of the world has learned and do the exact opposite, either out of spite or idiocy (usually both)

thank goodness we don't have tolls impeding anybody's commute!

a sports film that acknowledges it was originally meant to be a toothless PR-friendly "doc" and actually documents the hard pivot to losing access and encountering hostility when reality took a turn would be the first good one of these

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

MAGA is a wholesale rejection of the Enlightenment including stuff so basic that we don't even think of it being part of the Enlightenment project--like being polite to people and making social interactions smooth and pleasant.

The NY Times continues to be the biggest sucker in the world for bad faith bullshit, just so the publisher can claim they're not too liberal and to pretend they'll somehow convince MAGA they're being fair to them.

Do CBS News executives understand that MAGA will not be in power forever? I genuinely think this is lost on a lot of people. They've gotten scammed by bad actors into believing Trump's 2024 win represented something seismic and even permanent. I predict they'll look back on this as a serious error.

Needs to be a day in the future where instead of making a mockery of congress with these petulant outbursts these fascist clowns are tearfully claiming they were just following orders

it’s cool how every major tech company has completely abandoned the idea that user experience should matter

They like what Trump's doing! Sorry to all those too blind to see it! Not my problem!

Have an American walking into my posts saying we pay high taxes, and get nothing out of it, let me clarify for people who don't know, our taxes, pay for Universal Health Care, Maternity Leave, Dentalcare, & many other social programs, as well, our taxes are now pretty close to the US /1

Installing someone like Bari Weiss as the head of a major news organization isn’t even about profit or longevity. In effect it’s about continuing to shrink the traditional news industry smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker and less and less journalism based until it ceases to exist

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

i could write a tome about how fucking embarrassing it is for journalism that someone as morally bankrupt as bari weiss has ascended to the highest levels of money and power by tickling trump's balls but instead i'm going to keep covering the people hurt most by his terror and giving them a voice.

Remember when these guys ran a completely fabricated story about trans kids sourced to a single bigot who worked at St Louis Children’s Hospital and it got so much traction that they ended a bunch of programs for trans kids because of all the bomb threats

the thing about the big tent is we can debate its merits and successes as an electoral strategy, but it has been an abject failure as a governance strategy, and frankly what you do with power is more important than how often you win it. we are living through precisely why that’s so

You could fund propublica 2 3 and 4 for what she normally pulls to get beat by thirty points

Fun coda to the story, Bari Weiss is now head of CBS news and Radley Balko was fired from the WaPo mostly because he was such a good actual journalist on his beat

As America falls apart, Ezra Klein aspires to be the voice of reason and demonstrate that he can still operate across the divide and do politics where everyone else has given up on it. But creating a sanitized fiction of the other side as the basis of your politics is not realism – it’s folly.

Nova Scotia - a province known for endless rainy days & many bountiful rivers & lakes - is into its 4th month of extreme drought. This is the French River, that provides Tatamagouche with water (or not). Climate crisis kicking in. But: let’s frack and clearcut anyway, says NS Premier Tim Houston.

What’s amazing about this is that it’s not activists, it’s random people in the street, dudes in trucks. They know who the villain is. I think MAGA has a bigger problem here than they realize
