Why is it that the single part of our government that seems to be doing what it's supposed to these days is the Secret Service?

One thing that will always drive me nuts about Democrats is that as soon as we have two good candidates for the same spot, the knives come out. Support whichever of them you like, but by making it a dirty fight you're hurting your own candidate too.

When will Western MSM start reporting this? WHEN!

Nick Maynard who was a volunteer surgeon at Nasser Hospital in Gaza on how Israeli soldiers targeted & killed Palestinian children as a game & how baby formula was confiscated at checkpoints. How much more evidence do those who remain silent or support this genocide need?

Christian Nationalists have tried to paint themselves not as bigots but as people who value their European heritage. So now when they have effectively made enemies of Europe, they have a lot of rationalizing to do.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Check out #SmallProphets. It's a charming show, and it's got Michael Palin in it, the best of all the Palins.

I feel sorry for a lot of people, but today I feel especially sorry for blonde women. If you have long blonde hair as a woman these days in America, it's almost like wearing a red baseball cap. People will just assume that you're another MAGA bimbo.

tell your dog i said hi and that fascism is bullshit. love the radicalization of dog rates, 15/10, no notes.

Someday, when we're through this all, I want everyone to remember how gleefully police at every level cooperated with the brown shirts.

When I was a kid I idolized Rod Serling because he was cool and because he brought serious literature to television. He's never let me down.

When Epstein and his crew weren't raping little girls, they were jerking each other off mentally by swapping cultural references to prove how smart and superior they were. The reason they were so desperate to conceal all that is that our ruling class is a bunch of fragile assholes.

Taking his ball and going home.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

#WreckingCrew is not a great movie, but it feels like the first buddy action film in a long time that is trying to be great. The entire cast is fantastic, and there are a few really good lines. Some of the action sequences are inspired. The pacing seems uneven, but that's the only complaint I have.

Woke up this morning to news that the particle accelerator near my house is having a fire. I can smell the toxic smoke here. If this is a cliche horror scenario, I may not be posting as frequently going forward.

When I was a kid there were only 4 or 5 countries in the world that could produce a decent automobile. Now everyone can but somehow Americans still want to fight that battle instead of building solar tech and semiconductors.

Since 9 11 I have been warning people to familiarize themselves with this definition specifically to avoid government actors using it to label any of their enemies.

You know how they immediately started digging deep into Alex Pretti's past to somehow justify his murder? They know that we'll do the same thing to those shooters and that we'll find a lot worse than a busted tail light.

Personally, I don't want Noem fired. They're going to try and scapegoat her and send her out with all the sink of Minneapolis on her. I want a thorough investigation into all of the orders that were given and how they were carried out, and everyone in a position of responsibility put in jail.

This seals it. The guys who are working for ICE have less training than someone who has binged a few episodes of Law and Order.

In simplest terms, One Battle After Another is a good film and sometimes it's beautiful, but it didn't give me much to think about except for the nature of resistance. Sinners gave me a lot more to think about and was just beautiful on top.

After all the people I saw trashing Star Fleet Academy online, I was waiting to have one of the episodes not be great. Still waiting.

Hilarious. You buy a car for certain features, use those features for a while and then have the people who no longer own that car revoke those features unless you pay $100 a month extra. Remember when EVs were supposed to save the consumer money on upkeep?

We all know what Twitter turned into, but it's important to remember what it was before Musk. Sure there were toxic elements but there was also Gail and a few other people like her who had an uncanny ability to mobilize the good elements to do good things in the real world. Maybe bsky can do that.

If your supervisor shows you a physical memo ordering you to break the law, you do not follow it. You ask for a written copy (and then hopefully pass it on to journalists). The alternative is that you're breaking the law and they're the only ones with their asses covered.

The Trump administration has ordered work stoppages and layoffs and has tried cutting off funding to effectively dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. n.pr/3LLHyvR

Stop worrying about being thin. Worry about being healthy. Stop worrying about being a man. Worry about being an adult. Stop worrying about being loved. Worry about being kind.

Billy Jack would kick Chuck Norris's ass.

One of the lessons here is that if you elect leaders who will condone genocide from their allies, you should not be surprised when those leaders turn out to be monsters themselves. You should not be surprised when you have to pay a price for that.

Beware! You may have seen posts about Ukraine sharing fake strategic information to the US and this information being subsequently used by Russia - LCI is a highly credible source (it is TF1's news channel) - But no such claim has been made during the segment when they were supposed to be made

If I were from Minneapolis and listening to this I would be so proud.

Jacob Wysocki's Kokomo voice is the most soothing thing to have ever existed. #Dropout #DimensionTwenty

Good morning. I read this dispatch from a comrade in Minneapolis this morning and thought that some of you might appreciate it too.

Since their founding, the Black Panthers have understood what the fight was about and how to fight it. They have been in this fight since before most of us were born. Listen to them. Follow them.

Imagine if 15 Israelis had died in Tel Aviv yesterday. Imagine the MSM and the political outcry. Israel killed 15 people in Gaza yesterday including women & children - not a f*kiN word.

ICE Goon: But we're still allowed to shoot 'em, right?

Some days I only log in to see if he's dead yet and then log right back out.

And you can’t take that to the bank.

There we go. That there’s a headline.

“I need 185,000 kids to die every year so 27 other kids get less excited about trains.” - RFK Jr between mouthfuls of raw yak meat

People talk about AI supplanting mankind as the dominant intelligence on this planet, and I'm wondering what they are worried about. Does anyone think that AI could possibly be worse than the chuckle nuts we have running the show right now?

It turns out that deciding that the President has immunity for anything he does in office was a bad idea, and particularly bad for this President. If we ever have an election again and someone sane wins, they need to put some guardrails in and anchor them in the Constitution.

Just doing my bit to increase the amount of Andy Richter in the world.

For the record, Maduro was not legitimately elected, and he almost definitely was getting money from the drug trade, but that still doesn't make it okay for Trump to unilaterally decide to replace him by force.

Psst. Hey, come closer. No, closer. I have a New Year’s secret for you. It’s this: If you care about people you don’t even know, and try to live your life that way, you are absolutely beautiful no matter what you look like.
