It's grimly hilarious how much right-wing Americans have rotted their brains on deranged fantasies of what urban US day-to-day life is like. There's a reason the "Haitians are eating the cats & dogs!" blood libel took off. They've gobbled up less batshit versions of the same thing for decades.

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

There are a lot of good people who vote for Democrats whose already-fragile trust in the system would be fatally damaged if those Democrats who succeed Trump do _not_ at a minimum embark on a destructive and costly campaign of revenge against a hell of a lot of people.

in the worker's paradise that was soviet communism, homelessness was a crime and a moral failing, because that meant that a person was not from-eaching all he could, while still to-eaching more than needed also being unhoused doesn't make you part of a class, it means you fell through the cracks

This is still an all timer from her tbh

This needs to be an immediate PNG.

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

I'm sure you'll be as shocked as I am to learn that Cenk Uygur is blaming Platner sexting pics of his little Totenkopf to random women on...Israel.

Esa Pulliainen died. He’s one of the reasons I play guitar in the first place. Part of the soundtrack of my childhood. Hyvää matkaa, Esa.

After defense officials got a request to push through a deal with a firm tied to Donald Trump Jr., Pentagon staff moved at an unusually rapid pace. “The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” said one person involved.

Mikie Sherrill must answer for this

All those "fellas, is it gay to have a girlfriend" jokes are getting more and more literal

i haven’t gotten into an argument with my wife about this, you have to give family members grace, and i say yes but you have to admit you were conned. i can’t give forgiveness unless you tell me what i am forgiving

Type of guy who wears prescription sunglasses while his real glasses hang off his shirt collar and vice versa (me)

i have nothing but spitting contempt for people who look at this political movement and downplay or deny its open and explicit white nationalist

there is just so much goddamn fucking lustration and civil-service-purging and imprisonment that will need to happen for america to stand a chance

it's not the size, it's the motion of the ocean as manifested in tides based on lunar activity

Goodhart's Law strikes again: When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

just ... jesus fucking christ. put one between their eyes. that is how if you use the death penalty you are honest about it. this mengele medical shit is so gross.

STOP BEING WEIRD ABOUT JEWS CHALLENGE IMPOSSIBLE maybe put it in terms that some blinkered lefties might understand: do you remember how fucking stupid it was to have to perfunctorily "condemn terrorism/hamas/extremism" every time you wanted to advocate for basic human dignity for someone

Radio Rwanda shit.

Ten years into Trump I don't believe anyone who claims to be offended by Democratic speech

we are flying into ATL next week and i was worried first about jet fuel from trump's dumbass misadventures being the limiting reactant in getting back home but now i wonder whether there will be a de facto international travel ban thanks to trump's dumbass misadventures

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

boiled-frog stuff but from my perch in the sunny nordics, the united states sure looks like a personalist dictatorship of which politically-motivated prosecutions, increasing in frequency, are just one of the many very visible signs that follow the "government operates to exalt/enrich trump" pattern

Manama’s ambassador to Johannesburg: 🎵 i rep Bahrain down in Africa

[alanis asking you out] would you like to go with me to the theaterrrr

Greg Abbott won a statewide after Uvalde and in fact everyone in Uvalde got re-elected, so again, this is who we are dealing with

i got through the noob cave levels of the new 007 game. there is a ton of the hitman dna in it; it's fun to experiment. once i get a hang of the combat/control stuff i think it'll be a really fun play.

I discovered this dude when the whole federalist funding thing came out and now you get to see all your favorite small businesses use U-Line products and then they stare at you blankly when you point out that their practical storage bins fund the erosion of your civil liberties

Greg going Anton Ego on us: it is easy and fun to say that Texas will always and immovably disappoint everyone. But the discovery and defense of the blue etc etc

We think of old people as the greatest generation whose bravery and grit in difficult times saved this this world from war and the specter of fascism and then communism but really they’re just the boomers now and it’s okay to take away their shit.

It does make me angry that deeply corrupt, immoral men keep getting elevated. I hate that our anger at their elevation is at least a bonus if it isn’t the point of it for them.

fuck youuuuuuuu github

“Move, bowel. It’s One A Day.”

GIVE IT UP FOR THOMAS CHATTERTON WILLIAMS WRITING ATLANTIC ESSAY #785 ON HOW THE LEFT IS WOKE AND HAS GONE TOO FAR EVERYONE

The nut of the x vs bsky thing is that a critical mass of the access media in group chats with the elites who form the actual policy made is still on x. You likely do miss out on some key signal not being on it. Still, I’ll be in the ground before I recognize Missouri etc.

Not now, robots built from frog cells that have unlocked the ability to self-replicate

I will never forgive the citizens who forced me to live through this timeline.
