This is a new one ...

Not only did Dawkins give his dunks insane names, at one point he also said he was actually an alien from the planet Lovetron, where his girl “Juicy Lucy” lived, and where he spent the off-season practicing "interplanetary funkmanship"

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd. he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him. situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

My wife and I didn’t realize it was “illegal immigrants” who kept outbidding us with all-cash 20%-over-asking offers every time we tried to buy a home

Trump Denies Writing 36-Volume Comic Titled ‘Don And Jeff: Time Pedophiles’ https://theonion.com/trump-denies-writing-36-volume-comic-titled-don-and-jeff-time-pedophiles/

I can’t believe hockey goalies used to play without masks wtf

Mmmm taste that MAGA Populism™

Just thinking about one of my favorite Trump interviews today for no reason.

The Onion was a day early

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms: ✅He personally directs criminal investigations. ✅He is targeting opponents. ✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents. Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

These are not men.

Where’s the $50k Tom

Nice job senate republicans you fucking clowns

the verge's follow up reporting on the nonexistence of the trump phone is excellent commitment to the bit www.theverge.com/news/820887/...

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Emo lad I dated cancelled date saying his bat died. He was ultra goth so sounded plausible. On next meet said sorry about the dead bat & he said "no I meant my battery "

He’s spiraling. He’s going to spend the day Posting Through It, it seems

I think I’ll post some of my favorite GWAR lyrics here. No one could possibly take this the wrong wa—

I wonder if trump has already called Thune about the senate vote. I’m betting yes

They’re calling her Megyn R. Kelly on TikTok

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he started in creeping on 14-year-old Sally Hemings. And Sally, who was enslaved, shared a father with Martha Wayles Jefferson—Tom's wife. He's been dead literally centuries and the US refuses to reckon squarely with what this meant for definitions of American greatness

lmao—“don’t waste your time with Trump.”

Not sure it’s my “wokest,” but: Public ownership of utilities whose infrastructure limitations create a natural monopoly—electricity, water, natural gas. This is the case in some places—most often at the *municipal level—but they should be publicly owned and managed at the *grid/distribution level.

my takeaway from this letter is that glenn youngkin, rector sheridan and their flunkies on the board are deeply dishonest people who are engaged, with the trump administration, in a mob-style shakedown against the university of virginia

The desired solution seems to be a tribute-based economy, where trade deficits are financed by inbound investment flows from countries believed to be dependent on US demand and/or defense, but entities doing the investment have zero control over the investment or income from it.

I cannot emphasize enough that increasing foreign investment in the US and shrinking US trade deficits are in direct, irreconcilable tension w/ one another. *US TO LOWER TARIFF RATE ON SWISS GOODS TO 15%, GREER SAYS *SWITZERLAND AGREED TO $200B INVESTMENT IN THE US, GREER SAYS

“Housing shortage – Jews to blame," letter sticker, German Reich, 1938 zwangsraeume.berlin/en/context

The National Security Strategy is usually organized around countering what Pentagon Leadership and the administration consider to be the biggest threats to the American people. What does an NSS look like from an administration that considers its biggest threat to BE the American people?

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures My latest for @sentientmedia.org

There's no problem Vance won't blame on immigrants, even if he has to invent the problem himself. A few weeks ago he was insisting immigrants lived in cramped squalor and their (white) neighbors had a right to be upset about that. Now they're so rich they're snatching up all the good houses? OK.

It’s time to join

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

nazi shit

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Just throwing this out there for reasons apnews.com/article/2022...

"taking jobs from Americans" really gives away the game. This guy just hates immigrants and thinks they don't belong here, and can be treated as sub-humans.

Re: Epstein’s emails

Trump will eventually have to pardon Greg Bovino to keep him out of prison, which is where he belongs.

Fortunately, I already figured out the plots of the next several Toy Story films

Someone named Daniel Siad tells Epstein in an email that the owner of Noah Models used to "scout for Trump." Noah Models was featured in this 2011 PBS documentary, about 12, 13 year old girls being scouted in Siberia for international modeling, and the predatory results.

100%. It's one thing that becomes crystal clear in every masters of universe email dumps. there is no access to better information. rumors, wild ideas from people popular in their social circles, absurdities. to be all powerful, even for evil, you need access to good information. they mostly don't.

i remain steadfast in my belief that the most parsimonious explanation for their decisions is they simply did not want to imprison donald trump. it was something they wanted to avoid more than just about anything else. it scared the shit out of them and led them to delay and ignore him far too long
