Is anyone here good with science

The real terrorists were the presidents we elected along the way

"For the epsteinth time" is a banger

Both originals are banal but the edits make you think

Writing "this machine kills fascists" on the side of a Chinese finger trap

Some people are just addicted to outrage. This knife looks awesome

The rapture happened. None of us made the cut 😭

Tylenol is not going to sue Trump like everyone giddily predicted yesterday. They're barely defending themselves on their own website, they don't even get to a specific denial until the 4th paragraph and it's couched in technical language

What people need is some Balsam Specific!

It's likely that we're going to be exploring White Supremacy as a more explicit core of the DCU's story as it continues. Gunn releasing this last yr in his first piece to reboot the universe plants a pretty hard flag in the ground and I'm hoping he embraces it as much as he did w/ Superman.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

this, too, is political violence

the wisdom of clowns

Broke: kill Nazis Woke: kill them with kindness? LOL

inb4 Kirkism becomes the new mandated religion of America

what movie do you consider "perfect"?

Dutch late night knows what’s up! This is HILARIOUS!!! 😂

Remembering that story of a cop who complained that McDonalds gave him a burger with a bite taken out of it and it turns out he forgot he ate half that burger earlier.

Capitalists are abandoning capitalism for Trump, because they want something bigger: they want to own slaves.

politics is the art of compromise

This gilded age sucks donkey dicks from the back

Israel and climate change, the two greatest evils of our time that the media refuses to report on accurately. Neither was even a threat to capitalism! Not until the fossil fuel lobby and AIPAC forced them to be

"This is not a both sides problem. But if it is, it's not the right. And if it is the right, it's justified"

The right has declared war on humanity

Americans' ability to spot a pattern is non-existent

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means

A light went on in my head recently when I realize they don’t really mean that they’re being scolded at by authority figures. They’re being scolded by young women who don’t want to date them

Why did Bluesky censor this comment? It's no longer showing up under the post or in my replies tab

when you’re mean to me, this is who you’re actually being mean to: 🇺🇸

I don't care if you celebrate Charlie Kirk's death or not, as long as you don't celebrate his life

High schools aren't allowed to teach the truth, so when kids go away to college and learn history for the first time in their lives, yeah they're gonna seem "radicalized" to those who only did high school

One big problem is that to truly understand what the internet is doing to people, you have to be on it too much to play any useful role in society

R*st *n p*ss

thank god we’re all against political violence

Really starting to hate the bluesky mods. Banning someone for this is doing a great service to the fascists

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

I thought the Republicans told us political violence is bad. Must be misremembering

I would like to take this opportunity to remember Melissa Hortman, a serving Democratic politician assasinated by a right-winger.

It's kinda sad that Charlie Kirk isn't around to appreciate the comedic timing, he would've loved it

the thing about shootings in america is you can say 'it's time to talk about getting guns out of society' and when people say 'it's too soon' you can say 'its fine i was talking about the mass shooting a month ago' because there's always a mass shooting a month ago

RFK is the only person able to properly talk like that creepy text that y̵̲̹̲͌͜o̶̻͠ȗ̵͍̓ ̸̞̏ͅh̵̡̗͈̥̅a̷͇̍̊͝v̶̺͕̲͑̐ê̵̥̪ ̵̻̫̪̝̓̿ţ̵̂͋́̿ͅȯ̵͍͙̪ ̵̨̳̞̼͒g̴͚̰͆͝ǫ̴͖̫̼̇̇̆͠ ̶̡̡͓̩̾ẗ̸̛͉͌͝o̷̬̣̠̍̊̋ ̵̫̜̼̾̒͛a̸̤͒̿ͅ ̵̬̀̈́ẉ̸̦͙̀ḛ̵̲͇͓͗b̴̟̪͋̂ș̸͎̻͈͋̀i̴̛̟̞̽̀t̶̙̻̳͋ẹ̸̦̗̀͊͌ ̸̙̈́͠t̷̙̦͓̾ö̴̬̺́͒ ̶̨̰̜̋̽ṫ̵͚̝̖̎͜y̴̞̮͊̆p̴̖̫̚ě̸̢̻͍̈́ ̷̳̖͙̾̔͗ō̵̤̱ù̸̢̐͝t̴̰̻̦̎̃̅.̴̛̮͓̣̱̈́

The wild thing about this dynamic is, the people who get it right earlier, and who are shit on for doing so, do not get any redemption when everyone else arrives at their position. Their reputations are not restored, much less bolstered. They are resented even *after* being vindicated.

They'll never forgive you for being right too early. They'll smear you as hysterical and a doomer. Then when they change their mind to acknowledge reality, they expect all the credit for doing so.

Why are we going to Mordor Mr. Frodo? Gollum: The orcses, some of the orcses may vote for the precious, if you bring them elf blood. But then the elves won't vote for us Frodo: They'll have to, Sam. It's us or Sauron

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains

My theory is that comedy is based in truths. Even Steven wrights unexpected turns of phrase or Anthony jeslnick’s shocking punchlines have a fundamental truth to them. Far right ideology is based entirely on lies. So it’s impossible to be funny to anyone who doesn’t also believe the same lies.

I love this gif

My head canon is that Qui-Gon Jinn was the only one in the SW universe who believed in midichlorians. The rest of the Jedi Council was like, "oh the Force, here comes that guy again. He'll talk your ear off for parsecs if you let him. Pretend to be meditating."
