Everyone should build their own car too

samsara may trap a lot of people in eternal dukkha, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

People are giving this a lot of hate, but I personally love the idea that the author of this should pay more for the same groceries than I do

McConnell denied Garland a vote nine months out under the guise that there was an election soon and then jammed through Coney Barrett a week before Biden won. They have been flipping the bird to the concepts of norms and fairness for decades and the democrats have done jack shit to fight back.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

Stay for the part where she think she recovers and then gets trolled by the audience a second time

What do you call camps where people keep disappearing and dying

We are ostensibly a free country and the degree to which we don’t know what is actually going on in a vast network of “camps” on our own soil in the year 2026 is….. something we are probably never going to come close to actually grappling with as a country

You fuck with a peniped, it’s on sight. I don’t care if you’re in congress or what

It's not every day you get to see a beatdown with the Aloha Spirit:

I feel a lot of David Attenborough's hard work with nature preservation is to cover for how much of a mess his brother made of that dinosaur theme park.

it’s wild how things drop on Netflix with no fanfare. the Man on Fire series with Yahya dropped last week? how is your marketing so fucked that I didn’t know about this.

Speaking of chins…

What strip club is Kash at?

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

the GOP laid the foundations for this from the 60s to the 2000s, they are reaping decades of organizing work. it will take decades of work to take it back from them. it will take the rest of your life.

keir starmer is going to basically serve as a cartoonish example of why you don’t do the yglesias popularist thing and just surrender on shit like immigration

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

this is also one of my hobbyhorses. you want a better caliber of lawmaker? you want to reduce the odds of corruption? pay them more. a lot more.

relentless poll chasing + contempt for your political base + a total absence of principle or vision = political disaster www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/o...

Every ad for consumer ai is like “Are you fucking dumb and bad at everything but also too lazy to do anything about it? You’ll love our ai.”

Actually pretty illuminating that Republicans have built an image of Trump in their heads where he's shaped like Rambo and everybody else in the country realizes he's a feeble old man who exclusively eats fast food.

The thing about depression is that it's not just sadness. It's your brain constantly lying to you. Telling you terrible things. You're a failure. Nobody is better off for knowing you. And nothing will ever get better because the problem is you. For some, drugs can turn that off. It's life-saving.

thunderstruck sounds like a song the gremlins from gremlins would make if you locked them in a Guitar Center

Someone out there decided it would be a good idea to put a German Shepherd in charge of babysitting a bunch of Doberman puppies and they were 100% correct

anyway the most striking thing about alito, thomas and gorsuch's pissy response to jackson is that they — and the other republican justices — seem to really buy their own bullshit. they really believe that we can't plainly see what they're doing.

My unpopular Star Wars opinion is that you should graduate to Warhammer 40k

LUCAS: and this guy is named Greedo- DEPALMA: Greedo? lmao is his partner named Sleazo? SCORSESE: c'mon Brian DEPALMA: fuck off Marty, I saw you giggle when they said Jabber the House MILIUS: not enough chicks COPPOLA (totally zooted): wtf is this nerd shit LUCAS (crying): *writes down Sleazo*

Given that it's Star Wars day I will once again share my final & only SW take: SW IX, "the rise of Skywalker," is not only the worst movie I've ever seen, full stop, it also completely & finally destroyed my lifelong love of the entire franchise & arguably my love of US pop culture generally.

Rudy Giuliani is in stable condition and resting comfortably

Portland struggles with class issues in ways that can be hard to explain to people who haven't lived here. Comments like this one, said during the foie gras hearing this week, underscore exactly what I mean.

We’re so close to a Verhoeven dystopia anyway, can’t someone throw hands at this asshole on CNN?

Staying on twitter brainwashes you into genuinely believing American culture at large has swung largely to the right and the GOP's ideology is ascendant, part 57

This is actually the perfect distillation of the right wing worldview. A predatory industry treats consumers unfairly so it must be immigrants' fault.

Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid being "Israel's center" is probably why this won't work. There is no "center" in Israeli politics today. They are competing with one another on who is more racist, more violent, more supremacist. It's not where the Democrat base is at at all.

fannie lou hamer gave this speech at the DNC in 1964. LBJ called an emergency press conference to prevent these words from being broadcast on national television. she wanted her vote to count. she nearly died for it. her blood helped write the voting rights act. and now it's dead.

I know enough lawyers to know this won’t happen, but some real professional or moral consequences for being a member of FedSoc should be a thing. At this point, how are they not the judicial arm of the new KKK?

Ossoff is ok, doesn’t blow me away, but it’s nice to see a filmmaker in politics

My opinion of the Supreme Court remains the same

american politicians saying this with a straight face, while teslas beam data to a company run by elon musk, is just the wildest thing. I know which regime I'd be more concerned having my data.

this is worth watching in full just to understand who is in charge of the DNC right now. just an archetypal evasive, lying politician with zero respect for his audience.

been hearing this rumor, and it turns out to be true: waymo is coming to portland www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

not sure if gets more Empire In Decline than a disastrously unpopular mentally decayed president — who different people of notably different political stripes keep trying to murder — as he is badly losing a horrifying foreign war he started on a pack of lies, won’t stop obsessing over a “ballroom”

Ah shit, Gerry Conway died. He created the punisher & was very outspoken in saying "if you're a cop who wears a punisher logo, frank castle fucking HATES you." He said the punisher only existed because of a fatally flawed system, & so those most harmed by that system have more claim to the symbol:

Thinking again about how Mackenzie Scott has given away $19 billion of her $38b and still seen her net worth increase, these are some weird little pissbabies

Setting off a calamitous global oil crisis to own the libs
