Without the work, it's all styrofoam

This is the only legitimate reason to argue on the internet.

Stephen Colbert blasted Brendan Carr after FCC scrutiny led CBS to pull an interview with Texas State Rep James Talarico. Instead, 'The Late Show' posted it to YouTube.

Sorry your health insurance costs so much more this year, we needed to make fancy airplanes for illiterate dog-murderers

it’s pretty funny to make a world where everything is based on computer. and then fuck that part up specifically

If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...

“The Democrats’ demands aren’t ‘common sense reforms,’ as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer described them. All but a few are already the law — and most of the others are either longstanding norms in U.S. policing or the foundational principles of any free society.”

I wish folks received a notification when I mute them

KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS!!!!! Wow

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

i think you can judge how free - or not - our political media is by the fact that elon musk literally did a sieg heil (twice) at a rally and it’s still seen as uncouth and overly partisan (in legacy media) to describe his politics as straightforwardly white supremacist.

EpsteIn—as in, Epstein and LinkedIn—searches your connections on the social network for names that match those in the released files. www.404media.co/this-tool-se...

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.

Watergate pales before this.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The Cabinet this week *RFK Jr. bragged about snorting cocaine off of a toilet seat *Lutnick acknowledged taking his family to Epstein island *Bondi “The Dow” / refuses to look at victims *Noem blanket *Hegseth loses to Kelly, tries to tweet through it *Bessent “tariffs don’t cause inflation”

I wrote about something I've been thinking about for a long time. A kind of post-ironic collapse in our politics and culture where nihilism has become the lingua franca of the internet and beyond. It links Kirk, Clavicular, Epstein, memestock/coin stuff, mass shooters. I hope you'll read it.

The Trump administration has revoked the key rule allowing the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases. What's next? A big, stupid mess, reports @mollytaft.com:

“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

"In 2023, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs. This is a story about an economy getting throttled by one man and his capricious, destructive governance." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

simply one of the greatest calls of all time

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.

Thousands of people across the country have been arrested and charged with impeding ICE agents for following at a safe distance and filming. The intimidation campaign continues

<<Taps sign>> every official who has the ability to remove Trump from office whether via impeachment or the 25th Amendment and does not do so is violating both their oath of office and their moral duty as a steward of the public trust.

WSJ: Trump on track to blow a huge hole in attempts to keep climate change from destroying life on the earth: “This amounts to the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States.”

The government can spend money on concentration camps but not on housing. It really is this obscene.

Local authorities declared an unlawful assembly after protests on Saturday escalated near a federal building just outside Minneapolis, leading to at least 50 arrests, the county sheriff’s office said.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

I've been taking my drinks neat, T. Because fuck ICE.

I like bluesky but when someone is clearly wrong with their replies and quotes turned off I don’t like that my only option is to block the dipshit. I would like to pummel them with my facts and logic, whats the point of having an opinion if it can’t be debated?

I think "woke" was at least partly identified with "irritating" and the way we're rectifying that in Woke 2 is by being scary instead
