good mariachi is sort of like the Grand Canyon - you can appreciate the experience from a recording, but you cannot possibly fathom the grandeur, nuance, and scale of it until you’re bathed in the tsunami of sound in person - it just *takes* you same story for gospel choirs and marching bands

help me stepfluencer im stuck in a window recess

This makes me feel more patriotic than the national anthem ever could

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

this is better performance art than anything extruded out of an AI ever could be

Centrists love to quote the bit in 1984 that says,“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” For some reason, they think it only applies to the GOP.

Another vehicle opened. Back was full of license plates, gear, various fed patches.

This is like an old fashioned Gawker blog but somehow British and high-brow. I'll take it. www.ft.com/content/ad94...

Given everything happening right now, I updated this article with options for weather apps, web forms, and translation services — along with some tweaks to existing categories. I hope it helps your transition off US tech!

Remember how mad the Chinese were when we accidentally struck their Embassy in Belgrade? Can't imagine Beijing will take kindly to our ruffling of their envoy's hair. Perhaps system change wars can still happen

Alvin and the Chipmunks really was just Boomer nightcore huh

Things Going Good, Say Experts

it's important to remember the people doing this aren't "just following orders," they signed up to do this, they're excited to do it, it's what they want to be doing, and each one of them is personally culpable for the entirety of ICE's conduct

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

this must go so hard if you have zero object permanence

free line for democrats to use on the white house shit: donald trump has done what the flight 93 hijackers couldn’t

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread: I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong. So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

if you work for a publication that does this and have any idea how much $$$ your outlet makes from affiliate sale commissions on prime day, DM or signal me: jason.404 also interested if you are a journalist who is asked to do these deal roundups as part of your job

An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

The thing you notice in Yellowknife is that residents, whom, unlike most Canadians, have serious winters, predominantly drive normal CARS year-round. Capable & suitable. In summer, they demonstrate that it's perfectly normal & practical to strap a 17' canoe to the roof a 14' car.

I asked a Christian baker to write Charlie Kirk on a gay wedding cake and we've been staring at each other for 39 straight hours now

it's weird that a clown car full of freaks like stephen miller and jd vance feeding the populace a strict diet of state violence, austerity, and cringe are not getting more popular. bread and circus but there's no bread and the circus is one sclerotic monkey vomiting on his balls

feels like we're living through some kind of cultural gas leak

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

I know it’s nothing new but it’s striking how fascists take the exact wording of the left’s entirely correct assessment of them (eg “own the legal system,” “obviate the social contract” etc) and just copy & paste it and add nothing original except open calls for mass murder.

shut the fuck up Donnie. the worst troublemakers in Portland are the ones wearing plate carriers and badges.

I’ve said it before, will doubtless say it again: These folks are going to be permanently resentful because they’re seeking political power as a substitute for cultural power, and it’s never going to give them what they actually want.

Say it with me now: One Piece is political!

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Dudes, and I cannot stress this enough, rock.

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

they made a 3000GT… slay?

This is profoundly common in any “desirable” field of work, including automotive media. For every ambitious young person wanting to make something good, there’s someone else looking to take advantage of them.

beautiful

imagine actually writing the sentence "Hamas propaganda lines such as 'stop killing children'"

The NL West is incredible, 4 out of 5 teams have a positive run differential but the combined run differential is -200 thanks to the Rockies

I had an absolutely lovely time with @tincanaudio.co.uk recording this episode, and Charlie Martin is the other guest speaker, so you *know* it's a great one!

Deleting the kids baby photos so Sam Altman can make more money stealing all my work and your radicalised FB auntie can post another 7 AI sloppers of crab Jesus saying amen to a 17 fingered baby marine
