I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

Nothing says statesmanship like exploiting a death to settle a Twitter beef from 2017.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Went outside to eat and got #Whamageddon ‘ed. It ain’t safe in these streets.

This made me slightly homesick.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Labor gaining just the tiniest amount of power relative to capital a few years back absolutely broke employers' brains

People say the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is corny and corporate, but where else can you see Busta Rhymes and the Ninja Turtles together for 35 seconds

Prayers up for the single childless women who gotta constantly explain why they not married with kids every damn holiday

Nah, fuck this shit. Keep your work life and your real life as separate as possible. Your coworkers shouldn’t even know your real name, as far as I’m concerned.

Alternate title: What Do We Need Men For?

"On the two September nights that Fox said the neighbor’s confrontation happened, @propublica.org's review found no videos of violent clashes posted on social media, and federal authorities announced no arrests."

🤡🤡🤡

Funny as hell that for decades the right & pro-capitalists in general said the risk of mass starvation/famine were inevitable under communism so it’s good to see we’ve decided to cut out the middle man & head straight for the starvation

Be horrified by this blatant, gutter racism and - and! - make sure you never forget who lined up behind this guy. The one positive to glean from trash like this is that it gives you a curated list of people never to listen to again, about anything. If you skip that part, they'll do it again.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Happy 50th Anniversary to "All I Do Is Think Of You" by The Jackson 5 I love them & this song.... but Troop crushed the remake, I listen to that version more.

🗣You're waiting here, one good reason to try... but what more can I say? What's left to provide? 🔥🔥🔥

future grandchild: like shit, from an ass? me in 30 years: Swear to God. Then he demolished the White House

When nothing else is working they know they can give their base a little chub by going after black women. We are their favotire punching bags.

Why does JD Vance make it seem like Joy Reid is a visitor to this country rather than a citizen?? Why should a citizen of the "greatest country of the world" not expect to be treated well and have a good life?? Oh, right. Misogynoir nonsense at its finest.

My new piece, up now @thenation.com: "If only trans activists had known what size check to cut for Chappelle, they could have shut him up years ago and saved themselves all the picketing at Netflix." www.thenation.com/article/cult...

that’s probably alright

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

While you still can, if you’re asking “who’s Sinclair?” John Oliver has you covered:

I'm gonna argue that it wasn't rapid at all, and has in fact been in the works for upwards of 50 years. reason it seems rapid to the casual observer is we've reached the part where they don't have to be secretive about it anymore

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Firing liberals over stuff right-wingers get away with every day is truly honoring Charlie Kirk's legacy.

You're welcome (a lot of it is kinda yacht rock bc the guy who wrote most of it loved Steely Dan)

This is Elon speaking to 100,000 far right protesters in London yesterday. He called for the dissolution of Parliament. He is dangerous.

look at the careers they’ve taken from us

We need to find a way to divert troubled young men into cinephilia. No one who has logged 300+ films on letterboxd has ever assassinated anybody.

How it started. How it’s going

Media discovering groypers for the first time reminds me of when they first encountered incels. Those of us who study misogyny or followed Gamergate had been screaming about incel culture and violence for years. Coverage of hate groups is far too reactive.

Wrote about the week. How the shooter's ID didn't appear to matter to ppl. How the discourse takes place in very same spaces that incubate/perpetuate hate & violence. How shooters now know that their acts will be flattened, analyzed, argued over & amplified. How all of this feels so dark & poisonous

Time to break out the chart

Sharing this timely piece from September 9th - the day before Charlie Kirk was assassinated - for no particular reason. GIFT ARTICLE to read and share widely, because I think we’re going to be reading a lot about Nick Fuentes in the coming weeks. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/u...

Oklahoma City being more or less memory-holed as a lone nut with no real motive rather than a conspiracy of multiple radicalized white supremacist/militia-types was really a canary-in-the-coal-mine for how we were all entirely unprepared or unwilling to discuss that particular danger in the US, huh

"The hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. The hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug," I mutter under my breath like a mantra, trying to remind myself

one of the things that was most jarring about being undercover in nazi chatrooms for my book was how often violent videos were posted in the channels. executions, murders, blood. purposeful desensitization to violence can be detached from ideology and just entail inurement to the sight of death

Sorry, folks. Sounds like the civil war has been postponed due to white shooter

Wow, y’all really went from “we have confirmed it was an antifascist trans person because of markings” to “we have zero comprehension of this clearly random and incomprehensible act” as soon as it turned out he was a white right-winger.

So do I have this right: the Extremely Online head of the FBI missed that all the evidence on the bullets were 4chan memes, the suspect's social media is full of groyper memes, and he was only caught because his LEO father taught him how to shoot but not about STFU Friday?

I want you all to just watch how quickly mainstream media moves on from this story now.

Governor of Utah, "I was praying that it was an immigrant." The USA is a hellhole, to smear immigrants like this on stage in front of the whole country when they had nothing to do with it. This is disgusting.
