Sorry this is funny as fuck—yall wore your tactical vests to run metal detectors? I get a lot of tactical gear is designed for constant wearing/use for long and uncomfortable periods of time but why tf would you wear it to direct people to the precheck line??

this should surprise absolutely no one. worse, that headline is legitimate. like, it's not a lie. it's not even really misleading. it raises a real concern. Platner and his supporters should be questioned on this issue.

Maybe I’m just annoyed, but I kinda sorta suspect there might be a very direct link to Democratic leadership’s commitment to democratic principles with just how ridiculously difficult it is for one of their constituents to manage to talk to an actual living human staffer in either of their offices

I never feel more like a true New Yorker than when I absolutely terrify some poor tourists in midtown. Had to run an errand in Times Square and wound up telling two tourists blissfully blocking the entrance to the subway that “You can’t stand there. Can’t stand there. Fucking move. Now. Move.”

QTP with a game that has a 10/10 soundtrack… this one feels so shockingly obvious I can’t believe no one else named it (bonus points for the songs being used for quest names, too)

This is horrifying but if there’s one point most people who haven’t paid any attention to criminal justice reform should absolutely note it’s that these abuses don’t randomly pop up. The culture among DHS/ICE/CBP has been rancid white supremacist fascist since its founding

“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”

I fell in love with Lester Bangs’ writing precisely because in one of his collections he reprints his first review of Exile on Main Street, which savages the album, then immediately follows with another piece where he walks through how wrong he was and reverses his opinion

Have any of the Harper’s Letter people said they regret signing, or disavowed it?

friend, this is Marcus Junius Brutus CAESAR has declared himself DICTATOR FOR LIFE and MUST BE STOPPED can you rush a donation of ten denarii today to show that you STAND WITH THE REPUBLIC?

Fixin’ to start a new tradition in place of Sunday morning doomscrolling—Sunday morning vinyl dance party. Today’s selections are a… mix of danceable things

What happens when one partner keeps slamming their dick in a car door and the other partner gently suggests “maybe don’t do that?”

dear @nordvpn.bsky.social do not ever put another fucking ad for an add-on product into my vpn application, yeah? you--and every other b2c saas product--swamp me with upsell marketing emails and add-on teasers to the point I hate you. Don't expand that to the actual fucking app I pay to use.

I take every opportunity I can to try to point out that billionaires/millionaires spend far more fighting tax increases than they would just paying taxes—because it’s about class warfare and reminding the proles of their place, not saving an extra hundred million or whatevs

Everyone who made Fetterman a thing needs to never work in politics again.

Guys, before the internet people used to have moronic thoughts like this in their brains and that’s where it would die a quick painless death.

It’s really difficult to talk about the elephant in the room with all my vet friends. Y’know, just ask them, chat-style—is the military bad? For, like, so many possible values of bad.

They should invent a way out that isn't through

I hate it here

This is like a reporter for the local news interviewing the neighbor of a serial killer who just got caught. Neighbor’s in the foreground insisting that the killer “seemed like a sweet guy” and was “a teddy bear” and coroners are pulling a steady train of black bags out of the basement behind him

But have you considered that! Asks the very dumb man, punctuating his not-a-question question by resting his tiny fists at his hips, triumphantly No I say back, flatly And I never ever will because it’s stupid and so are you (Curtain)

So Noem going down, such as it, I think provides a pretty good blueprint for Democrats to get heads rolling in the admin and it's definitely not... whatever the fuck Jeffries thinks he's doing out here... /1

One of the worst things about Jeffries not having a primary challenger is that any one standing up and saying they support impeachment and making that central to their challenge would almost certainly either win or force Jeffries to commit to impeachment But we can’t have nice things I guess

Hey, if you're feeling like life has passed you by and you're too old to start something new, remember that John Brown was 55 before he killed his first pro-slavery settler in the Kansas Territory. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

Not the most important point but paying your staff a living wage would be a helpful check against this wild shit

I really think we should burn the entire establishment corporatist press to the fucking ground and use the resulting detritus as fertilizer for something real. Apologies to the six people at these outlets that still do useful work.

Democrats stop begging republicans to let you legitimize their war crimes challenge my entire lifetime

Coming of age at a time when all the people coming of age read the situation correctly and all the adults with six figure paychecks to go talk on tv were completely wrong was really something. Not as something as all those adults responding to it by continuing to shout “shut up” for 20 years

I posted this four hours before the president launched and announced a war

Remember when wild, unprecedented shit would happen this time last year? And people would text me and I’d text them and post on here and all of us just being like “oh wtf now” And now that’s happening in my circle; we ran out of horror and shock to express so now we just… don’t

jfc, Friday night at the end of a long week I just get fucking ripped vaping weed, watching some dumb bullshit streaming garbage, and playing with my cats These Trump folks are made different and not in any kinda good way. It’s Friday night man, take a fucking break!

Trying to imagine what it’s like to wear body armor and carry a firearm for my fucking day job and get offended by snowballs. Of course we hate you! Your reaction is precisely what makes us want to pelt you with snowballs and give you all wedgies and swirlies you fucking dips

This is fr fr my biggest issue with Mamdani thus far—Kathy Hochul is the fucking enemy, dude. You don’t negotiate with her, you make her scared for her job and try and convince everyone who voted for you to call her office twice a day to call her a fucking stooge and a loser

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.

I really hate anti-trans politicians, and I especially hate it because it was a culture war issue where we were clearly winning and then a bunch of nominally liberal people at the Times and the Atlantic decided to reverse that and they did.

$1400 to go to keep this Minneapolis immigrant family in need safe, housed, and out of eviction court! Can you help make this happen for them tonight? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and give if you can! I really appreciate you and I know they do too 🫶🏻

The NYPD making arrests over fucking snowballs. The definition of snowflakes.

well fuck today. I’ll be in bed if anyone needs me

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point. I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

I am certain that the most brilliant conservative intellectual in the world would get absolutely devoured by any random DSA affiliated book club

Be Okay

Remember when Trump went after Biden and his son and immediately got impeached? (I’m glossing, I don’t need to argue with folks over how ‘immediate’) And all I’m asking is that one of my elected reps evince as much rage at the deaths and misery heaped on people who are not part of their class

He’s talking about 2020, but I was a moderator on a political board in 2016 and remember discussions about how “maybe we have to make room for views we disagree with” This was after Trump lost the pop vote and specifically about someone I banned for saying wildly bigoted shit, but, y’know, politely

Amongst the things I’m pissed about as a progressive: the fact that so many centrists bitched to me about “defund the police” tanking Dems when even socialists never ran on it, but they also thought it was ok to throw activists under the bus

Waiting side by side for our cars to come up from the garage with Jon Stewart in tribeca some weeknight during the first Obama admin (so, pre-beard Stewart)

Cool how this became a whole-ass thing after an account with ~3k followers reskeeted it. Folks if you are spending any part of your one precious life defending career politicians who have 6-8 figure comms and campaigns on their side I can only hope that you one day get right with your god or gods.

This is either a very unfunny bit or a deeply concerning psy-op but either way it’s some impressively off the charts dipshittery

Today I'm choosing to be hopeful--specifically that the increasing screeching from the never-ending supply of dipshits, dingbats, and wingnuts asking "what do you expect them to do from the minority?!" represents the terrifying recognition among these people that new political power is ascendent...

Me texting every extremism researcher and anti os/intel person I know “IT WAS 4CHAN ALL ALONG??” Patiently waiting for the scooby doo meme
