feels like a real landmark of impunity that major corporations are making federal crimes part of the interview process

I don't understand why publications on the left publish hero shots of villains. 🤷

The 2000s-famous pickup artist Mystery (remember him?) is posting AI-generated animations of a female character he says he’s fallen in love with. He even “wrote” a book about their relationship. I read it and found out that he thinks they’ve actually smoked weed and had sex together:

"Let the voters decide" is quickly becoming a way for people with actual power to not do shit about fuck

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear sent a public letter to Sen. Mitch McConnell requesting a full update on his health, citing weeks of limited information since McConnell’s June 14 hospitalization. Beshear called for transparency about his ability to serve.

I don't know, man, I think if Joe Biden had kept confusing Zelenskyy with Putin and Iran with Japan, the media might have made a pretty big deal about it?

I think the Platner thing hit me so hard bc it was one of the most protracted, widespread acts of misogynist gaslighting from my own side that I've seen. We were presented with an obvious violent scumbag who was constantly lying (badly, might I add) and told we were crazy for not loving him

Spoke to my friend Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today

Hey so, if you use Waymo driverless car services, you are aiding and abetting fascism. Waymo helps ICE agents locate people to terrorize and abduct. The company willingly shares all facial recognition, license plate and GPS data with ICE and other law enforcement agencies—no subpoena required.

Mamdani on Platner: "I believe it's time for him to drop out of the race"

This just keeps getting better what an absolute nightmare.

That Farage statement in full

whoopsie

Locking a woman in a bathroom wasn't enough. Blaming women for rape wasn't enough. Not to mention the tattoo and wishing he'd urinated on enemy bodies.

Called it!

You could set a watch by these “revelations”. Every single time. Find someone without Nazi tattoos.

What if I told you they are STILL GOING OFF, now, at 12:38 AM, and the smoke is so thick you can't even see them?

Damn!

"Elon Musk posted twice as often on UK race and immigration as about SpaceX in IPO run-up. Guardian analysis of X feed shows how keen world’s richest person was to air his views and ‘interfere’ in British politics." www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I interviewed a former prosecutor yesterday who said this one thing that I cannot stop thinking about : “I think the most radical thing I learned from becoming a prosecutor is how much violence women face in this country and how little people care.”

Tall ship day was amazing.

Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

The Mall is a now a volcano into which patriotism is thrown. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Eddie Glaude: Stephen Miller is a racist. He’s a white nationalist. White nationalists have seized the federal government. Great Replacement Theory motivates this immigration policy. We need to call them for what they are. This is a white nationalist agenda and these folk are simply rabid racists

Can't wait to head to the waterfront and squeal and nerd out about tall ships in the harbor!

I told you fuckers they were coming for your pixie cuts and your pants. They’re just starting by throwing parents in jail if their girls are too good at martial arts or like cars

?????

do you think a little girl is going to forget the time she had to let an adult look at her genitals to play soccer? the gavin newsoms of the world never think about *how* trans sports bans will be enforced because they're too busy "having concerns" about "girls in sports".

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol

🚨OMB Director Russell Vought is about to testify before the House Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Financial Services & General Government! 🚨 We'll be live skeeting the hearing - follow along below!! 🧵:

yall know i NEVER say this about short form video but you really do need to watch this immediately

I’m a centrist and I’m also finding this extraordinarily frustrating. We should be building bridges with the DSA instead of fighting the candidates. Fighting the candidates is also fighting the voters who elected them. This is a totally self destructive waste of energy and time.

In the last ~year, I've had "faggot" screamed at me at night, the Queer community space I hold meet-ups in was attacked, and the local cruising spot was attacked. It's starting to feel dangerous to be Queer in public in Germany in a way it hasn't in a long time. They're emboldened by the far right.

so is the plan to just say “we have a ceasefire, the strait is open” indefinitely while taking potshots at each other and not actually opening the strait and hope the market never notices?

I just want to put this "fun" blast from the past here--an article in late 2004 in which Democrats can be seen blaming gay marriage activists for losing John Kerry the election by bringing lawsuits to enforce marriage equality. This article was not the only one.

SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo group.softbank/media/Projec...

Ossoff: "When they gathered in Atl to remove Black elected officials not by defeating them at the polls, but by manipulating maps to dilute minority power, they saw you mobilize & they backed down. A wave is building ... let's make sure they hear it down at Mar-a-Lago, that GA will bow to no king!"

I think this is my favorite headline on a story ever. www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

Republicans have had control of Texas SINCE 1994 — and yet, all of their ads say “vote for us so we can fix everything that’s broken in Texas.” THEY’VE HAD 32 YEARS to “fix everything!”

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

Oh now Thiel is talking about the "reproducibility crisis" in science, amazing Wait these guys are all myna birds, aren't they. They hear a few words said by someone else and they just grab them and repeat them without understanding. Now I see why they love LLMs so much.

...... i'm sorry, they wanted to invade greenland because red lobster nixed the unlimited shrimp promotion? www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Just a reminder, if you deface the Reflecting Pool you will be arrested…. Oops wrong picture

Did the New York Times just BOTH SIDES Ken Paxton's sweetheart deal for a child sex predator. Yes, yes it did.

Did not have “reflecting pool is Trump’s Stalingrad” on the bingo card but here we are

Quick question, what the fuck? #Boston

Kevis Warsh, the crypto fascist with decades-long ties to Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen, and who just took over the Federal Reserve, has started 5 new task forces that involve bringing in "external" advisors
