Yall im so mad all the time.

So many republicans, elected and otherwise, are just out here just absolutely begging for someone to punch them in the face face. And the fact that Dems keep not doing it is conceptually admirable but practically stupid.

Are you there, God? It’s me, Death, destroyer of worlds.

it's 1982. i'm baby. a dubious war in the middle east is underway. it's 1990, i'm 8. we are starting a dubious war in the middle east. it's 2003. i'm 21. we are starting a dubious war in the middle east. it's 2026. i'm 44. we are starting a dubious war in the middle east...

When I say I'm tired of the entirety of my life being shaped by imperialist predators, this is what I mean.

Hakeem Jeffries stuck the landing on scheduling his War Powers vote for only after the war had already begun 👍

When you are in support of the war but not the way it was declared

I think it’s a bad (but also wildly unsustainable) development that every business in America except Costco has decided that their *real* customers are billionaires and private equity firms.

For my money Josh is the second best comedian you can see on the regular for cheap in Brooklyn. (This is an extreme compliment)

Hey look the dumbest man in America is being dumb again

A lot of "the anti-semitism of the left" talk going around lately and the target seems to be more "the left" than the anti-semitism.

Love it when cops shut down multiple city streets to do a cop parade.

Just thought about something that bugged me about that Apple “Crush” iPad ad (from two years ago). The whole image it conveys is that personal computers went from bicycles for the mind to trash compactors for your dreams is just so aptly describing the modern tech industry. Carry on.

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

Me, I reckon we should fight for trans healthcare because we should fight for trans healthcare. But if you need an additional incentive? ⬇️

If you do not fight at the barricade of trans healthcare you will fight at the barricade of the most stigmatized medication you are on and you will do it with fewer experienced allies because you left trans people to die.

Just reskeeting this to say “blaming the I’ll for their illness, and blaming the poor for their poverty” has been the driving American ethos for every American who is alive today, and we should really be having a conversation about if that’s who we actually want to be.

It shows disqualifyingly bad judgment, or simple bad character, to hang out with the world's most notorious paedophile even if you didn't commit any crimes and only liars pretend to believe otherwise. I don't want these people in positions of power because at best they are dumb af

At some point we’re going to need to confront this reality. The entire Republican Party is committed to advancing the cause of fascism in the US. Another word for this is treason.

Can’t wait to hear what Van Jones has to say about this speech.

ATTENTION: If You Attended the State of the Union and Stayed For the Whole Fucking Event, You Deserve to Be Shit on Forever

who did this

Every word of this

American Fascism isn’t going away until we stop teaching it at every American business school.

The correct response to automation has always been “tax the robots,” but American lawmakers have always been both too tech ignorant and too in bed with capital to even begin to have that conversation.

"The Supreme Court said it was illegal for me to pee my pants, so I am going to poop them instead. Checkmate, Amy Comey Barnett."

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

some thoughts on Alysa’s gold medal skate a day later - this is maybe my absolute favorite skating performance ever? I know enough to understand it’s not the most challenging technical skate but the sheer infectious joy is unmatched - I’ve watched this maybe 15 times - I mean holy shit look at it

The problem I keep seeing with institutionalist defenses of Dem failures and inaction, whether it’s tariffs or Epstein or anything else, is that they’re either incorrect on their face or proof that the institutions aren’t worth defending.

Trump 1 made everyone instinctively defensive of our “institutions” and I’m hoping that Trump 2 will help us realize that it’s actually the immense weaknesses of our institutions which helped to put us in this situation to begin with.

I’m skeptical of Leavitt’s claim that rents are falling writ large, but she said they’ve fallen “$100 a year.” If $8 a month is this administration’s idea of bread and circuses, the guillotines can’t get here fast enough.

Chat is it good that every news story is now: -CEO of Oreos OR -We Made Everything Computers and Now We’re Out of Parts?

When you call out sealioning enough they’ll just snap and admit it:

One might, then, forgive people on the left for thinking that the center doesn’t actually believe in VBNMW, and just use it as a cudgel to bully the left into submission.

Sorry your health insurance costs so much more this year, we needed to make fancy airplanes for illiterate dog-murderers

“Elon’s doing White Supremacy the right way.” -Ezra Klein, probably

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

I’ve been saying since 2015 that the three things you need to understand to understand who Donald Trump and the MAGA movement are and what they intend to do are GamerGate, EuroMaidan, and the various scandals of FIFA (esp under Sepp Blatter). That feels more true today than it did then.

“Readers should be able to assume that every word between quotation marks is what the speaker or writer said… The writer should, of course, omit extraneous syllables like ‘um’ and may judiciously delete false starts.” -NYT ethical guidelines

Let me just note, in this thread about how cities are neat places to live, that as a white kid growing up in a very white suburb, “Sesame Street” did that for me. It was my intro to subways, people being multilingual, corner stores, trash pickup, multiracial neighborhoods, you name it.

I do think one thing that’s happening that isn’t really being talked about is that a group of tyrannical Allistics are trying to genocide all neurodivergent thinkers from the country.

Live, Laugh, LIGHTER FLUID

honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov 1713 Beverley Road in Brooklyn has been without heat or hot water for almost 48 hours (and for the second time in two weeks) and 311 has done nothing despite multiple complaints. Current indoor temperatures below 50 degrees.

There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams
