I fucking love memes you can understand through the language barrier, holy shit

from a state party director

Put pretty things in your feed. Something you like. Cats, cars, naked people, food porn, landscapes, birds. Find folks who don’t talk about the state of the world (or who mix it up with other stuff). Remind yourself that fun exists, that Joy persists. You can’t fix everything.

People shouldn't have to protect their neighbors from being disappeared off the streets by masked and unidentifiable thugs, but the thugs aren't gonna stop, so the fact *so many* people are putting their bodies in between the thugs and their neighbors, all over the country, is beautiful.

The hepatitis B vaccine had been recommended for all newborns since 1991. From 1990-2019, acute hepatitis B infections reported among children and teens fell 99 percent. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/w...

Peanut butter. It tastes like the smell of vomit. 🤷‍♀️ Before you lose your minds, just remember this means I'm always willing to trade those nasty-ass Reese's for just about anything else.

I mean, this is an execution

"My buddy Steve, who doesn't wash his ass and calls women 'females,' whose last steady job was cleaning the 7-Eleven hot dog machine and he got fired, can't get laid. Here's 4,000 words about why that's the fault of Susan, a constitutional lawyer/supermodel who rescues puppies in her spare time."

So far, in less than one year, Donald Trump has issued over TEN TIMES as many pardons as he did in his entire four-year first term. That’s a lot of criminals released onto our streets.

This is like a man writing a sex scene.

I KNOW one of y’all out there is still pretending they’re going to practice someday but would actually benefit more from having the space in the living room back, give your spouse a gift by getting the piano outta there

Death before two trips!

If JKR is willing to destroy every women's and girls' organisation and institution in this country in her crusade against trans rights, make her fucking do it. Call her bluff. Full juridicial kamikaze. Show everyone how much these ghouls really care about women's and girls' spaces.

this is a good reality check. this is not to say that things aren't bad (they are), but rather that they could be significantly worse...and we should work to prevent them from moving in that direction.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

It's always about control, the sooner people realize that these attacks are about dismantling the rights of ALL women, the better. Do you honestly think a racist white billionaire woman in a moldy castle gives two fucks about kids safety?

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

Thinking a lot about this moment from literally the first chapter of "1984."

If we're talking about the alleged rampant scourge of non-disabled "cheaters," it's worth noting that extended time has a huge impact on test scores for disabled students, but only nominal impact on test scores for non-disabled students. So if someone "doesn't need it?" Let them have it anyway

I love ILL. It is the bestest ever.

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going. It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

Federal Government Announces Racial Profiling Campaign, Explains It’s Because of the President’s Personal Bigotry

yes, throw the flag officers under the bus pete. This is the way pete. Keep posting pete

the vicious gleeful cruelty and bloodlust coming from people that you *absolutely* know would crumple into a weeping heap if someone punched them in the face is amazing

We should use the winner’s playbook and wage a 40 year terror campaign against these places and the people who staff them

For the record, this is the point of having a “warrior” culture, to having notions of honor attached to the military profession is so that dishonor can is feared. Military service is honored but if you fail to uphold standards—including refusing illegal orders—you must be dishonored.

For this situation specifically, Bradley was the only one in the entire chain who could have refused at essentially zero risk to himself. So no, he shouldn’t get credit for saying “but Pete told me to” when it all comes out.

Don’t fall for it. You’ve been brainwashed by 20+ years of The Troops worship. Keep the main thing the main thing. If the guy’s orders were “boss says we gotta kill them shipwrecked guys,” then he deserves to eat shit alongside his political masters.

I'm the Coat Bath

I am sorry but if you are a combatant commander and you get outmaneuvered this badly in a bureaucratic knife fight with Pete fucking Hegseth you need to go ahead and do The Honorable Thing

🔥 BREAKING: A spokesperson for Kids Can Press, the publisher of the Franklin the Turtle books, messaged me today about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth using the likeness and image from the books to make light of killings in the Caribbean in his post yesterday on X.

Went to a thing last week that was mostly dedicated professionals passionate about the topic, putting all their disparate expertise in harness to solve problems. Then a thoroughly useless department chirpily briefing us all how they were going to put info into "AI" to produce...something. Sigh.

I feel this in my soul.

Because yeah, I guess I'd be mad too if we dropped billions of dollars on tanks and ships and planes if I literally could not comprehend national sovereignty ever being challenged and saw conflict as basically a moral failing of being unable to diplomacy hard enough.

One thing the lesser anglosphere seems to have in common is an unquestioning faith in a series of overlapping security guarantees that we mistake for our own, allowing us to become so detached from the outside world that we lose the ability to recognize that it is real, and that it can mean us harm

This is the most accurate and concise summary of the UCP I have ever seen.

So I am a former theater kid and the thing about theater kids is they're always whining that the same kids always get the lead part and babes. Baby dolls. It's because those kids are better than you. And maybe that doesn't feel fair. But that's okay. We can't all be Rachel Zegler.

NEW: Over 50,000 people attempted to block the founding convention for the new youth org of the far-right AfD party on Nov. 29 in Gießen, Germany. Wide-ranging actions-including 19 blockades around the small city-prevented a majority of participants from attending. Police violently beat blockaders.

If this reporting is accurate, Secretary Hegseth ordered a murder and must be held accountable. This is probably why he is so concerned about Senator Kelly and my colleagues’ warning about illegal orders. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.

“Based on the available evidence, the skills that future graduates will most need in the AI era—creative thinking, the capacity to learn new things, flexible modes of analysis—are precisely those that are likely to be eroded by inserting AI into the educational process.”

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

One of the best worldbuilding guides you can read is Tolkien's notes on translation, where he talks about the fact that *everything* you write is in practice being translated into English; is is no more anachronistic to use the word "September" than it is use the word "sword" or "house" or "hello".

An important part of arresting the consolidation of authoritarianism is convincing corporations and institutions that Trump will eventually be out of power and at that point they’ll face consequences for their actions and by that standard this is a good sign

sold on this just from the excerpt below

He never left the culture. Making women watch him jerk off was the best thing that ever happened to his career, as evidenced by this 50th profile of him that literally no one asked for
