Oh FFS now what???? Is the next release of Epstein documents very very bad?

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

This exchange was hilariously good!

Note to self: Ken, you do not need an electric box cutter. You do not need an electric box cutter. Seriously, you do not need one.

I need to log off. My sarcastic cynicism is reaching dangerously high levels. If I were a pot smoker, I might get dangerously high to compensate.

Oh no

Ramadan Mubarak to everyone celebrating in Minnesota and around the world! May this blessed month bring peace, hope, and renewal ❤️

The interview with Talarico has been posted to YouTube: youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A

Colbert: “Let’s just call this what it is: Trump’s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV because all Trump does is watch TV. He’s like a toddler with too much screen time. He gets cranky and then drops a load in his diaper.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

I wrote about ICE’s concentration camps. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is fucked up.

Just emphasizing Courtney’s message in this thread: “There is a culture of murder with impunity at ICE. EVERYTHING they say is a lie.”

I watched a sci-fi, alt-history dystopia movie last night. In this film SPOTLIGHT there were these things called “newspapers” & people called “investigative journalists” that would write about misdeeds of the rich & powerful, eg Catholic Church. World building was fanciful, but v good nonetheless.

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Alt text is confusing because it is hard to tell which penis has the angel wings

Roses are red Vice is inherent

So much of what is pissing me off in the news seems to be the sequelae of appalling failures of critical thinking at some previous time.

This is a short, insightful thread about the American justice system and what the Epstein files reveal.

Short but important 🧵

Happy Valentine’s Day, for those who celebrate!!! Also: ICE should be abolished

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

Helene Fischer’s “Atemlos durch die Nacht” has wormed its way into my ear! It is wonderful and horrible all at once.

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

I need a fainting couch for coping with the rest of the year, I think

Saboteurs: Wrecking the US for generations by contributing to the spread of disease.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Ominous bird valentines.

The budgets for these lawless federal agencies are larger than the military budgets of many countries. Would love it if we used that money to fund libraries, to fund a social safety net, to make it so that that even well-known Hollywood actors don’t have to sell their shit to pay for healthcare. 🔥👊🏻

we know this, but a reminder: anytime ICE CBP etc says they’re drawing down their presence in a city, it’s bullshit. whatever their numbers, lawless federal agents remain behind & still cause havoc & kidnap people. Also relocated agents just go somewhere else to destroy lives. Abolish ICE end DHS

On my flight today, a chatty lady said, “I can’t go to New York with all that’s going on over there.” And I said, “What? Free child care?” And she stopped talking to me.

Republican fascists will tell you that the people in parkas and bathrobes are domestic terrorists who threaten our way of life and the armed paramilitary thugs who are terrorizing them with kidnapping and gassing and beatings and murder are legal officers who ensure our peace and safety.

Just remember that DHS is building concentration camps, and, if you built it, they will get filled.

Re: Minnesota I think it's important to both recognize they're lying about a full retreat and recognize it as a victory that they're cognizant enough of the PR disaster to feel the need to lie.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

I know I’m fixating, but “shooting down party balloons and using it as a pretext for war” is literally the “99 Luftballons” story arc. 🎈🤯 (Even “Miami 2017” didn’t map this closely.)

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

C’mon, Grim Reaper, James Van der Beek? I really loved his portrayal of, well, himself in DON’T TRUST THE B- IN APARTMENT 23. youtu.be/IZjspvYw2V0

RIP, James Van Der Beek. And fuck cancer.

Searching YouTube, I do not believe Helene Fischer has covered Nena’s “99 Luftballons,” though Nena was a guest on the Helene Fischer Show in 2023 (or 2024?).

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

I hope these women are ok with being outed as being from New Jersey

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
