This truly makes me sick

Every accusation is a rationalization. Trump & his allies were investigated for actual crimes, therefore it’s OK for Trump’s DO”J” to indict his enemies list for imaginary crimes.

Probably shouldn't have let a handful of weird business perverts unwind the cultural miracle of American research universities

E. Jean Carroll didn't just "accuse" Trump of sexual assault. She won a civil lawsuit against Trump for sexual assault. A jury found that Trump sexually assaulted her. She deserves for us to call it what it is.

are these people serious they have taken many things from us but they will never, ever, take Remembering Some Guys (Troy Brown)

Hi, yes, 20-75 follow up questions here. To start: how many gold bars are there at the CIA generally

We are on the edge of irrational barbarism and my fellow trans people like at least one of the folks in this image have no idea what danger they are flirting with *people do not consider us the volk*! Stop deluding yourself!

having "Department of Justice 2025-" on your resume should preclude you from flipping burgers at McDonald's when this is all over

real smart to do this during the world cup and the 250th and ahead of the olympics, not like this could have any immediate or long term secondary impacts

It’s not enough that Trump raped E Jean Carrol? He has to sic his Dept of Injustice on her because he needs to inflict more damage? There’s a place in hell reserved for Todd Blanche, Trump and so many more of these depraved abusers.

[Norman Rockwell Guy] I do not think using generative AI, whatever you think of it, is comparable to having worked for the Gestapo and handing over persecuted minorities to torment and execution. that's... not a sane comparison. what is wrong with you.

This one for me really hits home. Like, has the current generation never seen *actual* pollution? Maybe they haven’t. That’s… amazingly great news.

Yea having internet avaliable in your pocket every second of the day is maybe too much, I find myself agreeing more and more daily with those memes about the family computer shrine showing proper reverance to the internet is what made it better back in the day

I've got some homies doing research on how getting angry online is basically a form of self harm and like yeah that checks out to me

if we're arguing social media is too dangerous for kids 16 and under, we're basically saying it impacts the brain and potentially body like an addictive drug. this IS kinda true. people seldom carry that logic to its end. doing that would mean admitting every adult online is getting fucked up 24/7

Our legacy news media institutions are morally and intellectually bankrupt husks

Honestly, at this point I won't be surprised if Russia ends up losing more troops in Ukraine than the US has lost in all of its wars *combined*. Not just WWII. Not just the Civil War. All of them.

Is it that important objectively? Probably not, at least not compared to ICE and Iran and tariffs. Is it a symbolic synecdoche for all that has happened to America under the Trump administration? Ab-so-fucking-lutely.

“come join my discord!” no thank you i will never let a poster take me to a second location

Perfect. No notes.

“Shut up you ugly fuck” is a measured, mild, and accurate response to Stephen Miller

Online tankies once America pulls off post-Trump image rehabilitation:

I do sometimes worry that all the worried headscratching about youth unemployment might be missing the point. Everyone is always talking about how it relates to the education or welfare systems, no one wants to say "well the economy just produces far fewer entry level jobs than it once did"

4chan won the White House and we are never gonna fully recover our dignity

Love this! A giant Nijntje* presenting it is both 100% cultural appropriation (laudatory) and 100% Japanese. 🇳🇱🇯🇵 (*I think y'all know her as Miffy)

A lot of online leftism is just looking for people you can hate from a position of moral smugness, but no one wants to acknowledge it

Oh no, anti-AI is the new 5G masts conspiracy theory. Which is a shame because there are some good reasons to be skeptical of AI.

Baseball is the sport for existentialists - there is no god, no higher plan, no purpose to anything. We live in a swirling vortex of chaos, nonsense and bullshit and then we die. Have a hot dog and enjoy the game.

Talarico is maybe the most normal straight cis dude in that state and it is very funny to me that the attack they’ve apparently settled on is “he’s a queer blue haired they/them freak” This man is walking around in New Balance sneakers, no he isn’t

Oh, the most anti-social freaks on the planet can't get along? Who could've guessed?

gamers are going to make this stuff about them but the redistribution of computing power to be something only for the wealthy and corporate really sucks

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

Good. He should be hauled in front of Congress and grilled like a steak on an open grill, but the Republican controlled Congress has abdicated its Constitutional duties.

Funny story: 13 is the same number of service members who died in the pullout from Afghanistan, for which Biden received brutal bipartisan media coverage for months

"idk man it seems like a stretch that all of right-wing politics could just be porn-brained masculinity anxiety" they're gonna call him a sissy or a cuck on national TV within a month i PROMISE

Every pleasure is a guilty pleasure if you were raised catholic enough

In all honesty, the most savage, cutthroat political thing you can actually do to affect change is learn some basic sales tactics and knock on doors and this is also the least interesting, least sexy, least beret wearing, underground badass thing you can do but it works over and over again

As an ex-Catholic who considered seminary at one point... no. Just no. Everything they have said is in line with moderate reformism taking some cues from the Franciscans and lib theology. To the extent any "doubt" is involved here, it's of the "faith seeking understanding" variety. 🧵

I’m not setting up bluesky notifications for every time you’re wrong about the pope

'flexibility on doctrine' is far more of a Catholic hallmark over time than people think, too.

If, as people on this site are constantly alleging, there's no difference between the parties, why are marginalized group members fleeing red states to Seattle? Could it be legislation passed by the Democrats who control the Washington State legislature, the governor's office, & the city council?

if any billionaire has to exist, it's best it he's a himbo who doesn't quite understand why he has a billion dollars

this is where i finally tell bluesky that i used to work for tom and the worst thing i can say about him is i think it’s a failure of imagination that he still has so much money

This, and it really bugs me that theres not more brought up on our side about how successful we’ve been and where we’re making gains. People should know how far we’ve come and how little we’ve given up for it

Thank you Pope Leo XIV. 🙌🏽 Looking at you Palantir and tech billionaires.😒

In which I give credit where its due.

It seems bad that the president appears to be out of touch with reality at a fundamental level, and I think this is a bigger deal than Biden accidentally saying “Macron” instead of “Mitterrand” when telling an otherwise perfectly cogent anecdote about a French president

someone just said the people on booktok(their word not mine) who read 30+ books a year ONLY READ THE DIALOGUE AND SKIP EVERYTHING ELSE?!?! excuse me that is NOT reading a book!

This isn’t even about AI - this is just straight-up misogyny.

This isn’t just a good framing, it’s the only acceptable framing, and it sucks so much that I’ve never seen anyone but him use it.
