the return of "columbus day" is partly my fault. i was part of presidential commission to find an unproblematic italian-american we could give a holiday to instead and, after 18 months of searching, the closest we got was Lou Pinella (kind of a jerk) and Enrico Fermi (built the nuke). sorry everyone

This

Also hey buddy Trump Derangement Syndrome is our word

The most fundamental political debate of our time: You are integrated into and have responsibility for our complex, imperfect society vs. Nuh-uh.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I wouldn't call it a jacket more like a sweet ass polyester/blend button down shirt of a generic animé character with motherfuckin lightning bolts all over it. Their loss.

Can't trust Trump Labor Department for anything man

I was thinking about how everyone I know, even the people who love technology, just wants cheaper dumber things that do less

not that it will happen but at the very least any reporter who wrote about trump “distancing” from project 2025 owes their readers an explanation for why they published obvious lies

I love my kids' pediatrician, yesterday during appointment doc asked if she could use the Cleveland Clinic's ambient AI app to assist with charting and I felt awful for saying no but I did and felt very good about it afterward. I wish we had the option to refuse online. We gotta stop it, y'all.

Girl your guys literally posted a video blowing houses up to the Pokemon Theme Song

Hear me out: His name is JOSHUA And he's running for CONGRESS

“The President’s palpable misunderstanding that the government simply cannot seek retribution for speech he disdains poses a great threat to Americans’ freedom of speech.” www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

HEGSETH: *points to general's ribbon bars* "What'd you get that one for? Fucking your mother?" GENERAL: *sternly* killing vietnamese children

Hell yeah (he forgot "the biggest jobs program the world has ever known.")

This sucks a lot. Silly as this sounds i sorta felt like I found a digital home here. I'm so bummed.

the barista version of a Holy Bartender is a Holy Podcaster

Ugh I picked the wrong career my heart leapt at this and i started thinking about the hippie-adjacent New Games festivals at the tail end of the Human Potential Movement of the 70's

We are not the smartest people in the room we simply want to stop people being killed by the people who think they are the smartest people in the room. Fascists won (they did?) because a "tiny minority" was screaming? Good case of centrism not standing for or understanding anything at all here.

This is why all presidents wiggle and bob and weave whenever they give speeches

Guys help my cover photo on facebook is a fox news picture of Trump and RFK and it says AUTISM ANNOUNCEMENT and I have a shitpost about remembering Charlie Kirk's* last words and I have just been friended by my daughter's girl scout leader and she liked the Charlie Kirk post.

"What your favorite arcade game says about you. . . Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: you wanna take people for a ride" i am crying and dont think I can explain how hilarious this is to anyone who has not played it. Thank you @mikedrucker.bsky.social that line was a treat.

if Kimmel doesn't open his show tomorrow with "I just got back from the Charlie Kirk memorial and boy is my neck tired" he is dead to me

If the House Minority Leader cannot be bothered to vote blue no matter who, then I'm sure as fuck not going to worry about it.

How do these people keep getting elected all they do is sell matches to arsonists.

Others have said this as well that we are lucky that those officially in power are just silly incompetent dummies, I'm terrified that we (meaning 'everyone not smitten by said dummies') are going to wait it out, shit the bed yet again, and then contend with the real devils of the world.

any chance you can die of a Diet Coke addiction

I adored them ff12 feels like ff fans don't know what to do with 12 but it was a great time and i was always happy when these two had dialogue. Sidenote: my son had a thing where he needed to be held way more than the average cub, so I spent many a nap trapped hour in Ivalice....

We’d be in a much stronger position right now if mainstream Democrats had taken a common sense stand for First Amendment principles instead of piling on undergraduate standing up for Palestine.

Bluetooth is neat and we don't need it

There is still a degree of separation that feels irresponsible here

Obama ran on this re: the architects of the Iraq War and promptly jettisoned it on Jan. 21st, 2009.

Let's all help each other live long enough to see Project 2025 collapse.

I'm really proud to work at a media company that isn't made up of cowards, that can say All of This Is Really Fucking Bad over and over again because it is. defector.com/charlie-kirk...

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Do you remember when everyone was posting pictures of D-Day with American soldiers hopping off the boats and saying that they were antifa?

Defector and Rascal News come to mind. I'm buying what Ben is selling here, but it's strange to see everyone be like "hey we have billionaires don't we?"

This charlie kirk shit is the cancelest culture that ever canceled my god just breathtaking amounts of diapers filling like do you people remember "i like people who weren't shot?" Those were such innocent times

I just thought of an amazing Brindlewood Bay character concept but I need to know if it's legal to be a fan of Charlie Kirk if I'm doing it through a character who is really good at breaking out of the old folks' home. She wouldn't have been a fan for very long but her memory doesn't know that

It's can't feel great knowing that "Democracy Dies in Darkness" is a punchline you know?

How sad is it that I was impressed that a reporter asked this

everything's a fuckin threat with these guys. you will pay, you will regret this, you have no idea the storm you've awakened. you know who talks like that? school shooters

NOT looking forward to reading the communist manifesto in my Chemistry class this Monday AGAIN

So this is the crowd who filled their diapers about comedy and censorship and cancel culture and now that the world is absolutely windmill dunking on their sweet, besniped boy would you believe they are filling their diapers all the way to the top again

Before the rhetoric gets too heated I'd like to point out that if RFK died of COVID it would also be hilarious for just about the same reasons

Nothing is going to accelerate the pipeline of weird young dudes becoming violent lunatics like taking academia off the table as a viable career path.

I wish people would stop doing this. Sure, you have a different opinion of the same book. You must know that Christian nationalists believe the same thing about others and the logic is precisely the same. The disgust here is a result of practicing Humanism, not Christianity.

WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.

This is a friend of mine and the median normie voter and exactly why it's so weird people are flying flags at half mast and op-eds are being written.

Republican writing a post feverishly calling for civil war and bloodshed because a candy bar changed its logo, hearing the news about his friend being killed: nice, just gotta change a few words here and there
