This doesn't seem worth having a Discord account

You are all demonstrating insane parasociality

personally I think the New York Times’ chief legal correspondent should know that the court was not a 6-3 conservative majority during Trump’s first term

I think it's important to remember that RFK clearly believes in eugenics and children and mothers who die because they're not strong enough without modern medicine is the goal, not the side effect.

"Gay rights were won by appealing to the moderates" "Gay rights were won using radical protests" Both incorrect. Gay rights were won because America was so mad at George Bush over the 2008 recession that they decided to become less homophobic out of spite.

The best thing we can do to protect trans right is encourage Donald to crank those tariffs up as much as possible.

I am altering my sex. Pray I do not alter it further.

bounced off emacs once but i really want a calendar in my notes app and I want my notes app to be text-based, so time to learn 8 trillion hotkeys again

kinda wonder when someone will demand preferential rights for the people on their phone over real life people

idk i think anyone calling alysa liu "goonbait" should be incarcerated until such time as they can be a reformed member of society

"thin places" are locations where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is said to be particularly thin.

This is the most porn-brained collection of incels the planet has ever seen. At this point X is a Class A infohazard, the entire website needs to be nuked from orbit.

Isn't a judge supposed to know the law? I mean, isn't that the point of having judges in the first place?

it sucks that biden was ass "At least three. Don't play games with me, kid." was one of the goat off the cuff answers

Realizing Americans paid $175 billion in illegal tariffs and it’s being refunded to companies instead of back to us

tbh I think my pitch to DSA about prioritizing fixing the IC is the same self interest one I’d give to incumbent dems more broadly: dem tea party will eat your power if you don’t give an acceptable landing spot to the energy bubbling out of the base

This is absolutely right we gotta point out that the culture they want to make universal, of father’s control over all, of shame about body and feelings, is exactly culture that purveys abuse

While I have everyone, I will share a bonus tip. Two of the smartest things you can instill in your children through word and action are: "safe people will never ask you to keep a secret about your body" and "If a grown up says I'm going to be mad at you, they're wrong"

I used to be a CPS investigator and when I tell you that our entire child-rearing culture grooms kids for abuse, know that I say it with a deep well of rage for specific children who were trained not to say no to adults in 1000 small ways AND told nothing about their quote-unquote "swimsuit areas"

Deleted bc I realized that’s the “railroad buildout” scenario that’s been discussed a lot on here, which seems like a pretty good end all things considered

"Shirsho Dasgupta, a Miami Herald reporter who found that, as of late August [2025], about two-thirds of the 1,800 immigrants who were held there in July have gone missing from ICE’s online database, with their families and attorneys unable to locate them."

The weirdest thing about trumps press conference was that he’s right, the court has allowed him to do all these other things, to ruin the country, but they really drew the line at fucking with the money

Positive take (relatively) on “we have lived among such people this whole time”: Yes, and that shows things don’t need to be like this. There will always be the sort of people who’d try to get the state to hurt kindergartners. We just need to keep them out of institutional power, and on the fringe.

"The FBI's source...claimed in their testimony that Epstein — a wealth manager — "made his money from charging his clients fees to hide their money offshore." uh, didn't have "PEOPLE has reached out to the Kremlin for comment." on my bingo card. but joke's on me I guess people.com/jeffrey-epst...

have you considered it's the verge's birthday? they're just a little birthday boy

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

It really is the Stancil media diet hypothesis because if media tells you shit is on fire, most people believe it because they don't care enough to really dig into what's going on

they call it single sign on because you have to sign on every single time you get up from your desk

I can’t say for sure but it does seem like there’s one of the people at 404 that are not doing as good as the rest

I'm not sure if you could come up with a more perfect anti-Trump message for the Treatlerite age than "America deserves a refund"

Listen man journalists have probably the worst internal culture of any profession other than like, cops. Just rancid narcissism and self-dealing all the fucking time.

And this is why I put down my interview requests in writing and make sure I turn on my recorder at all times after getting explicit permission from my sources. It protects myself, my newsroom, and especially my sources, in case things go south. What Will is describing should be easily disprovable:

it would actually be extremely funny if The American Thirty Years War was also fought over the catholic church lol

Looks to me like Democrats are very quickly coalescing around "Trump stole money from you" messaging

ICE got a teacher killed and this is the first I've heard of it

so we're really gonna just bomb iran and then ???? profit (gas will be $7)

delegitimize scotus harder please i beg you

The three journalists who helped ruin Ava Cordero's life when she tried to stop Epstein in 2006 *currently* work at NBC News, New York Magazine, and News Corp Australia. The one at NBC News is covering... Epstein.

coming back to this later and it kind of seems like one of the journalists who falls on the anti-stancil side deciding to break his rules and make the piece all about him to teach him a lesson about trusting journalists, just wildly improper stuff

stancil agreeing to be profiled as part of a piece covering the situation in minneapolis, but then it only being about him, really gives away that our established media/political class *only* care about content and how it plays on twitter/etc. they don't care about policy, they care about posts

This is who like half of this website continues to crash out about being some sort of fearsome political genius?
