incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

It seems like a post-Trump left-wing US government, obsessed with pursuing revenge against Trump and Trumpists, would be an absolutely perfect weapon to destroy corruption in FIFA and thus gain the gratitude of the world's soccer fans.

When dipshits on Twitter post stuff like this, I like to point out that the Soviet Union's economy was so backward that it could not provide women with disposable menstrual products.

a grown adult can handle a muslim mayor without having a nervous breakdown. look at sliwa, the guy is off his rocker, he has double digit cats, he dresses like he could be a cold war dictator, he is not melting down

Glad Cuomo lost

Glad Cuomo lost.

"Dear Sir, Your good name has been bought to my attention as a trustworthy man and a believer in God. I am the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, ruler of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. My mother left me forty-five million pounds and the city of York but I am unable ..."

Why would Zelensky do this?

Given that hunting down undocumented grannies is much higher federal law enforcement priority right now, "if" is very much the operative term here.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism. Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

The judge is a woman.

Not to take away from the well-deserved criticism of the comedians who took Saudi money, but this piece makes a good point about understanding the domestic aims (rather than foreign PR) the Saudi regime is chasing.

UA hockey is ridiculous. 1) The league declared its season will start in 5 days (and they haven't released a schedule) 2) Bc one of the better clubs in the league (Kyiv Capitals) bolted for Latvia, they replaced it w club for Odesa region, even though Odesa has a team. Otoh, nice threads.

Revolting

Who holds the majority, again?

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

Looking forward to all the comments on the Moldovan election from people who couldn't correctly pronounce "Gagauzia" on the first try if their lives depended on it!

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

This is an excellent way to ensure their loyalty when he tries to trample all over the Constitution.

This past year has not been a good year to be a Jew. Next year isn't looking so hot, either. But all we can do is hope that things go a different way in 5786, and that we are all inscribed in the Book of Life to see it. L'Shana Tova, folks.

The thing to emphasize here is that this treatment is *utterly normal.* It's part of the system of detention which has existed for decades. Folkston has been like this for many, many years,

Look, ICE's orders throughout this administration have pretty clearly been "go nuts," and they follow those orders.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

I guess the main thing I’m learning this week is that lots of elite media people knew charlie kirk personally and didn’t know any minnesota state legislators

Iryna Zarutska's death wouldn't have been remotely noticed by the fascist right if she had been killed by a drunk driver. It would've even been cheered by some of them if a Russian drone had killed her after being expelled from the US as Trump is poised to do to other Ukrainians. 1/

If you're conversant in the lingua franca of the online right, you know the helicopter emojis the official White House account is using here are a reference to the Pinochet dictatorship's practice of flying people above the ocean and dropping them to disappear them. That's what they're threatening.

On my way to the market today, I stumbled upon this assembly of mourners. Turns out that one year ago today was the bombing which destroyed an apartment building here, killing 7 people, including almost an entire family w their 3 little girls. They were gathering to commemorate the tragedy.

Kurwa...

Ugh motherfuckers are bombing us again.

Вот это имели ввиду, когда сказали что секса нету в СССР

Look at this freak. It's going to be delicious.

[Bill Cassidy looking down at corpse of chicken he has fucked to death]: That chicken should not have been fucked that hard

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

This would be seen as offensive in Ukraine, a country under actual martial law.

The fact that Vance's team thought to turn to Valerii Zaluzhnyi in order to hasten Ukraine's capitulation really shows the caliber of people working in the White House.

Of course *he* had to be there...

Ukrainians have the same thing about hooch. They're just as innovative and thoughtful about samahon as hillbillies are about moonshine.

Donald Trump is claiming credit for forging peace between two countries he cannot correctly name.

"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."

Just a very rich to go “we’re punishing India for buying oil from our strategic adversary Russia, who we are neutral to positive about”

Criticize them for going on an AIPAC junket, but Congress wasn't in session...

Very bad sign when masked, unidentified agents of the security state are not just grabbing people off the street but openly identifying with the regime's politics

Today is a rough day for Ukraine. If you'd like to offer a gesture of solidarity, may I humbly suggest donating to my wife's humanitarian operation delivering pharmacy kits to refugee shelters in near-rear cities. www.gofundme.com/f/katyas-med...

Yep, this is basically it.

If Pu is stalling for time with this diplomatic theatre it is definitely NOT because he's advancing in Ukraine. Journalists should stop repeating this! russia is effectively stalled on the battlefield. He's stalling because he doesn't want to end the war but has to lie to Trump that he wants peace.

The Trump Administration allowed the Russians to veto the participation of the only senior administration official with anything approaching specialized knowledge of the war in Ukraine. That guides my expectations of today's meetings.

This is not new

How'd they vote?

I honestly wonder if the president can explain what “the rate” he wants Powell to cut actually is, and what role it plays in debt markets. (I know the answer, but I do wonder)
