“The department declined to answer questions about whether the donor is an American citizen or a foreign national.” Jesus Fucking Christ

The more I pay attention to this NYC mayoral race, the more I wonder how the fuck Andrew Cuomo ever made it in politics (other than his dad and name I guess). Like he is just bad at this.

When the brain worms lead to literal brain worms.

Every three months when I get a new STI test back I hear Katt Williams in my head saying, "I'm not infected. I have papers to prove I'm not infected."

I mean... Am I wrong?!

I think the greatest ill that social media has done society is it's convinced a lot of people that they need to poke their ass into every conversation and argument they come across. I'm definitely guilty of that too btw. But it's still bad.

Alex Jones: We're in an eternal war against the demonic forces of the deep state. Also Alex Jones: As part of the Pentagon press corp I refuse to publish anything without explicit consent of the defense department.

I never thought the return of Weimar Germany liberalism and Weimar Germany fascism would be this fucking cringe.

I'm enjoying Legends Z-A. Not sure why there seems to be so much hate.

You gotta hand it to him. He did do more social media...

Has anyone ever asked how we will pay for this? Or is that just for when we help poor people?

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence” when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

Liberals when candidates defend trans people: "We can't do this, it's too unpopular." Liberals when candidates have a nazi ss tattoo: "it's ok, not all candidates are perfect." Do y'all hear yourselves?!

Here's how I felt. This btw is about 4 blocks from me. When I saw the sign. "Oh. Neat." When I found out it was a trick. "Oh. Okay."

The reason fascism is on the rise is that regular people's lives are getting worse and the centrist liberals refuse to blame the responsible parties (corporations, the wealthy etc) and so seem to have no answer. And then the fascists come around with a scapegoat and seem like they have the answer.

The myth of the small government conservative is well and truly dead.

In 2022 the Utah Democratic party broke my faith in them forever when we in convention voted to not nominate a candidate and instead support a less-awful conservative, Evan McMullin, in his bid to unseat Mike Lee. McMullin would go on to lose by double digits and I was betrayed for nothing.

Okay wait we're doing this "but there's no other options!" dance for an election in *November 2026*??? I'm reasonably sure we can find a progressive in Maine in the next year who doesn't have a Nazi tattoo. Like, 95% sure.

I know this is an easy take, but if Barack Obama had posted a video of him wearing a crown, the level of apoplexy would possibly even rival the level that came when he wore a tan suit.

And I suppose we should state the challenger from the left could have been anyone and we picked a guy with a Nazi tattoo. So that sucks.

I don't understand how anyone can support this blatant corruption.

Above the silliness, he's saying "we're hurting you because the democrats are standing up to us so you should support us" which is insane.

What kills me is centrist libs could have backed ANYONE to be NYC mayor and they chose a disgraced former governor with more baggage than a passenger train.

If Democrats want to (which is not guarantee) it will take a decade to detrumpify Government. It takes way less time to break a thing than to fix it.

LOLLLLLLLL

Can't pay government workers though. But we can pay for a Swedish machine to tear down the East Wing.

Boxer throws punch after bell in test of rigid round structure.

Duolingo is down as part of the AWS outage, but I’m still getting the increasingly aggressive push notifications and emails demanding me to do a lesson, so that’s a great user experience.

A big tent doesn't mean subsuming the causes you care about... now stop talking about trans rights or it means you love Trump.

Obama is the lynchpin of neoliberal failure: - no bankers went to jail for the financial crisis - no punishment for Bush era crimes including torture - no reigning in open market manipulation and illegal activity of tech disruptors like Uber - refused to reform the filibuster - drone wars expanded

Cop/MMA phrenology is real.

Day 60 of trying to be hired by Andrew Cuomo

At least he's clean shaven though, right?

I think this is the danger that Trump has placed the party in long-term. Trump won the primary in 2016 by throwing away the dogwhistle and just grabbing a whistle. Republicans ALWAYS dogwhistled to white supremacists, but condemned them out loud and white supremacists were used to this.

What the fuck is Temu Eddie Valiant talking about?

Guy who thinks this is a bad idea(the press)

Unacceptable.

Need some good recommendations for queer-led #pathfinder2e or #starfinder2e podcasts. So much so that I am using hashtags to maybe help this get seen. I need to have SOMETHING distract me from the real world. #pf2e #pf2 #sf2e #sf2

Indiana University has fired the staff director of the student newspaper, after disputes in which university leadership tried to pressure him to prevent students from publishing news.

That billy goat must have been one powerful critter if the vicar of Christ on earth can't get the Cubbies to win.

Describing the torture she experienced being kidnapped by Israel Greta Thunberg claims when asking for essential medicines 60 prisoners were put into a small cage and told by the IDF many times that they were going to "gas them"

I'm sure they're really regretting not giving him the Nobel Peace Prize now.

So many articles on Unherd asking why queer identities are declining (which I dont know is accurate) tying themselves in knots to claim victory over wokeness without implicating themselves.

All of the men pictured in this article would call me a soy boy or something and none of them can grow a SCRAP of fucking facial hair.

Ceasefire just means "back to mowing the grass."

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

Every person working for ICE deserves to spend 43 years in prison.

Can you imagine the amount of pants-shitting we'd see if this had been Biden?

The people who work this work schedule want for you to never be able to retire.
