Oh this is how we’re doing science now? Ok cool “Thomas Smith to link brain worms to being a pathological lying animal murdering sack of useless nepo baby dogshit in a suit.” I guess I just did a science, make me health secretary.

Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’

You cry censorship now that someone was taken off air by government pressure for saying something extremely minor and basically true but WHERE WERE YOU when these other people faced social consequences not from the government for saying disgustingly false racist and/or sexist things? Hypocrite.

They’ve designated antifa as a terrorist organization. In response I’m going to double my monthly donation. WHO’S WITH ME?

The strategy sure seems to be “If we just give the fascists the authoritarian nightmare state that they want, then they’ll leave us alone.”

I've always been someone who is very bothered by when things don't make sense. Falsehoods and lying and irrationality are just extremely hard to deal with. I'm sure that's a lot of you but it isn't everyone. Does it feel like this era is almost being engineered to kill us? Is that by design?

Well the evidence as they've presented it would strongly indicate that he killed Kirk because of Kirk's anti-LGBT views. I didn't think the memes on the casings were compatible with that theory, but it reads like those were completely unrelated and just something he was doing on a separate occasion.

This person is not well. Holy shit.

Hi can anyone help I’m just trying to figure which side is more responsible for the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk by a 22yo, is it the one that wants gun control? or the one that worships guns as their religion and is responsible for them being easier to get than health insurance… no idea need help

They absolutely never cared about free speech. It isn’t actually bad to want to fire people for their despicable views. The real issue is that for a brief moment, racism, sexism and homophobia were beyond the pale. Now you get fired for not crying hard enough for a racist sexist homophobe who died

We need to have an honest conversation about the violence happening on BOTH sides of the far right

This was before we knew who did it and it sure was exactly correct

Hey. I know there’s no point in even saying it. I know. I’m going to say it anyway. I can’t help it. I’m actually going to yell it. REMEMBER WHEN THEY PRETENDED TO CARE ABOUT FREE SPEECH AND PEOPLE NOT GETTING FIRED FOR EXPRESSING THEMSELVES. They never cared and some of us knew it.

Ok just to get this super clear… HE WASNT KILLED FOR HIS OPINIONS IT WAS NOT A LEFTIST WHO DID IT IT WAS A 4CHAN TYPE SHITPOSTER WHITE 22YO MORMON DUDE WHO BY EVERY INDICATOR WAS RIGHTWING OR NIHILIST

Left media personalities are getting fired, not even for cheering Kirk’s death but for just being mildly critical of him. Right wing media personalities are talking openly about killing people on the left. This asymmetry needs to end.

I am a huge fan of Ezra so I read this and tried to give it a fair hearing. But I largely just don't get what the point of it is. I guess I would say this: If Charlie Kirk was practicing politics the "right way," what does Ezra even think is "the wrong way?"

Jesus. Unbeatable

“But he was a father!” So is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and MAGA cheered him being sent to a literal torture prison BY MISTAKE

I am not and am never encouraging violence. I am pointing out that if Charlie Kirk were alive to give comment on this shooting, his position would be that it was completely worth it in order to preserve the right of every American to be able to have instant death machines as toys.

Wow

Are you fucking kidding me with this. Unreal

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN APPARENTLY. DO YOU SAY APPARENTLY FOR EVERY SINGLE EXECUTIVE ORDER? BECAUSE THEY ALL HAVE THIS EXACT STUPID FUCKING SIGNATURE. CAN YOU STOP BENDING OVER BACKWARDS WITH FAKE OBJECTIVITY FOR PEOPLE WHO DON’T EVEN READ NYT ANYWAY? IT’S WORSE THAN USELESS.

Oh. My god. It’s always so much worse. What age would you say roughly is being depicted by this image? Remember how hard he denied it? This is exactly what was reported except it’s even worse.

we need a label for UK politicians who endlessly "empathise" with fascist concerns - let's try a US one my latest with @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/709...

This is a perfect example of why I never get my hopes up for anything ever. Why would good things happen? What a dumb idea

NOW ON YOUTUBE & EVERYWHERE YOU GET PODCASTS! Is this the most corrupt thing the DOJ has ever done in public? How many helicopters could someone could forget purchasing? OA's got the most extensive breakdown of DOJ's bizarre hang w/Epstein accomplice #GhislaineMaxwell yet youtu.be/vqMXN-IgFoU?...

OA EXCLUSIVE: @seriouspod.bsky.social has cleaned up and stitched together the best version of the audio of Ghislaine Maxwell's bizarre DOJ sitdown available to the public, just fyi for anyone who enjoys their lies in the highest possible fidelity youtu.be/fghaerQY6oA?...

This week on Vapid Response Wednesday: The Boston Globe is wicked frickin' stupid, kehd! We review two consecutive opeds from Matt's hometown paper on why DC needs a police state and Trump needs a Nobel Peace Prize youtu.be/P8FymX_92L4?...

I know I’m a broken record, but this fuckin newspaper… They cover a deliberate attempt to frame a former president in the most neutral, calm demeanor… it’s insane. Look at how they talk about the “Biden’s age” scandal and then look at this. It’s atrocious. THEY ARE FRAMING A FORMER PRESIDENT.

They are literally terrified of everything. Biggest bunch of babies

bragging about being a giant pussy is integral to the conservative mindset

On today's first-ever Vapid Response Wednesday: (1) Epstein lawyer/alleged conspirator Alan Dershowitz would like you to know that there is literally "nothing to see here" and (2) immigration hardliner Roy Beck builds a giant strawman entirely out of gumballs youtu.be/zCFQsgsbZnI?...

We need to retake power and literally purge the government and judiciary of MAGA. That is what needs to happen. I don’t see any chance of it, but that is what actually needs to happen to have the slightest chance of having a country again.

I was absolutely certain this would be fake. It's not. This is real.

Yeah, follow Leno’s example and instead alienate your audience by just not telling anything that could even be considered a joke.

Little known thing about reality: it exists before the WSJ reports on it. So actually, Trump has known for years that he was in the Epstein files.

I’ve seen this picture, I don’t know, a hundred times since 2016, and I’ve only just now noticed the parrots fucking in the foreground.

I hate when someone unearths my pube-autograph to the world's most famous pedophile while I'm dying of cankles

How in the world could it be a financial decision but have nothing too do with the show’s performance? wtf

this is a structural problem that threatens the entire industry: the financial incentives lean toward Takes but Takes ultimately depend on a bedrock of reporting that there is almost no working model for at this point.

what special insight does bari weiss have? what story did she break? what has she done other than pretend to be canceled? and the Free Press is barely a journalistic outlet. it is a penthouse letters page for reactionary gen xers

this guy rules

Oh my fing god read the rest of this thread

This sure does feel like it would justify absolutely any reporting as long as it produces "conversation and debate!" Hey shouldn't people who work for and control the nation's top newspaper be like, smart? Shouldn't they be better than this? I was told there would be adults on this planet

Lawsuit in Rockland County NY is all over social media, but the claims of voter fraud just don’t add up… literally. In Part 1 @seriouspod.bsky.social and I cover the legal/sociopolitical problems with the case… after venting about why election fraud claims just suck in general 😂. Part 2 is math!
