The thing about this argument is that it ignores the age of the other party involved. It’s absurd to be angry at a like 18- or 19- or 20-year-old for pursuing a 17-year-old, but things change radically when you get to the mid twenties onward. Proximity of the pursuer to the age of consent matters.

based on how he’s acting at this point I’m pretty sure the Epstein Files are just trump’s name over and over for hundreds of pages like in the shining

They hate Mamdani so much that they're revealing they liked NYC better when it was Zionist spies using the city as a pedophilia playground and that that was part of the appeal for them.

Lol yeah man all that panic over "a Big Mac will cost $15!" if we raise the minimum wage. Well we didn't raise the minimum wage but a Big Mac is $15 now.

defending the pedophilia president and being pro trans is the same to this guy it’s just absurd

Remember when Trump was like “I’m releasing the Epstein files” and made a big show of it by giving like 20 redacted pages of them to right-wing bloggers? And then he was like “and that’s the end of that story!” and expected everyone to move on? And then it was “the files were a hoax”?

jealous that dogs get meat cereal and humans don’t

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Look, I’m gonna be honest: if your version of O Holy Night doesn’t include the best verse, “chains shall he break for the slave is our brother, and in his name all oppression shall cease” I’m gonna assume you’re either a racist or a coward. Shape up, Christmas singers.

I’ve been watching Thundercats with my 3- and 5-year-old daughters and thanks to @travismcelroy.bsky.social every credit sequence is an ongoing challenge to not accidentally say “Rankin Bass or Stankin’ Ass” out loud

'Four cones wins, but in order to get a cone you have to build a civilization. Which is where the spirit cards come in'

i used to think the lyric was ‘i wanna rock and roll all night / and part of every day’ and i remember thinking, honestly that sounds reasonable

Funny watching all the MAGA influencers celebrate Trump for rolling back tariffs on beef and coffee — after spending the whole year arguing tariffs don’t raise prices.

this story was sort of lost in the last few days of the epstein news but it’s wild how many republicans appear to be pedophiles or okay with pedophilia

This is just the economy now

The new owners of Teen Vogue have already erased her column. www.teenvogue.com/tag/disabili...

After the November 2021 elections Biden's people scrambled to find ways to reduce prices arising from a post-pandemic supply shock that implicated complex multinational economic relationships. Meanwhile Trump gets to switch off the RAISE PRICES switch that he flicked on in April.

I am also a podcaster and would like to be in movies and although I am neither young nor attractive I can promise you that I have never knowingly interviewed a white supremacist Contact: UTA

There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are

so glad the child sexual abuse panic was squarely pointed at folks like me by the people actually doing it & the public was like “yeah, seems right—freaks did it. not the men with all the money & fighting to keep child marriage legal, the women that are legal to kill in 30 states if you’re nervous.”

(anything happens to any member of the American elite) I should email my friend Jeffrey Epstein, the pedophile

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

Meanwhile their considerable influence and unthinkable money bankrolls fascism. There’s no path forward as society or species without harsh retribution on these people and total expropriation on their ill gotten wealth ffs

first it's pensions, then it's healthcare, then vacation, finally it's the wages, pretty soon you're just going to one box to work all day for no money and going to another to get the rest of snap to eat, which sounds a lot like how they described the soviet union to me in the 80s but what do i know

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"

This is how they treated that kid who would send people to the corn field when displeased

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

Proposing something too cruel for the position composed primarily of psychopaths

It’s important to achieve bipartisanship with Republicans so they can arrest Barack Obama for something they read on the Epoch Times’ Facebook page written by a Chinese cult member in 2019.

this is frankly reason alone to say "no deal" to anything for the next three years. but this isn't viewed as a worthy cause for the same reason anti-ice activities isn't viewed as a worthy cause for the same reason that there were no actions taken against gillibrand calling mamdani a "jihadist".

“New York Times conducts hostile interview with children’s education influencer questioning her recognition of comprehensively documented war crimes” is not a sentence I could have imagined a few years ago

can somebody put this bitch on a rowboat and shove her off to sea so I never have to see her evil face again

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end

“individual employees asked to change behavior in response to catastrophic mistakes made by their high-level leadership over the past 3-7 years” really feels like the overarching story of the current times

it keeps getting proven over & over again that the way to win over more undecided/low info voters is to run an explicitly left wing reformist class-based campaign but over & over again centrists/establishment Democrats are like "this proves we have to get more right wing & elitist"

Some of the same people who say Mamdani just isn't qualified enough think the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana should be president

Reform rabbi spreads lies from his pulpit as his synagogue teaches unhinged Islamophobia in its "Book Club":

Scared, racist bullies.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

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

“Did women ruin the workplace?” is of course wildly misogynistic. But beyond that, this framing assumes the nostalgic version of “the workplace” was good and awesome and worth maintaining. I hope women have ruined the workplace. Let’s go, girls!

Every time I make the mistake of looking at Twitter I see the dumbest shit imaginable from the worst people on earth and often end up fucking up my saving throw and getting drawn into telling one or more of them to go fuck themselves
