In a way, anything can be The News

good fucking riddance

The cherry on the sundae is that she's a policy wonk for Heritage, so getting this sort of coverage is part of her job, but it also speaks to how the NYT's culture pieces are basically, 'journalist interviews their friend in the same elite circles.'

Man, Bluesky is really on a heater this week. All of these stories feel like grand finale Stupid News Season beats. Stuff that should be happening August 20, yet we’re only 1 week into July! Can’t wait to see what the rest of this summer has in store.

If Binface is returned will it be enough to break the spell?

If only there had been signs. Like a giant Nazi tattoo.

Not a lie, a well sourced rumour, and it’s nowhere near as damaging to any of their brands as supporting Platner will be.

No one cares.

SCOTUS shadow docket-ass ruling, honestly incredible

This whole thing is very blackpilling. Even many reasonable Americans are very happy to join in on this when it is in service of an outcome they would like.

This is, I believe, the connoisseur's 4th of July dril tweet

RIP to all the catholics excommunicated by the pope for their heresy but im different. and better. maybe even better than the pope

Trump: I see my two beautiful sons sitting there. I think I'm going to give one medal of honor to myself, one to them, and we'll have a threesome.

Everyday I wake up, read the news, and mutter "Yup. That's me. Your probably wondering how I ended-up in this situation", then turn-on social media and the doubt instantly goes away. Just P-Zombies everywhere you look. What are we even doing here?

Barring changes to the Court you will see another go at birthright citizenship within 10 years.

If Rs win in 2028 and replace Sotomayor, it's gone. I don't know why a bloc of left-wing voters convince themselves "the court shouldn't matter, you can't blackmail me" but that happens every decade and a half for some reason

time to post my absolutely favorite meme

Guy who thinks he’s clever for reinventing Schmitt

One thing I learned when I was just out of college and watching 6-8 hours of Fox News a day for my research job at Media Matters: Ingesting hours of propaganda on a daily basis changes you, no matter how smart you think you are. If you don't notice the changes, that just makes you an easier mark.

me: am i going a bit far, calling musk a 'classic fascist' with the same core values as hitler? musk: i am concerned about the ethnic purity of the german people

Oh yes the classic Catholic priority of knowing “how a husband treats his wife” the first thing that comes to my mind too, and not weird at all

Dress rehearsal for the big one.

This is essentially a kind of leftist defeatism imo.

Neuroscientist here, who has talked about the US losing science ground to other countries: The biggest problem for generating future cures for brain diseases is the ongoing utter destruction of US basic neuroscience. It’s not about regulation.

We don't shame Zuck for his Baby Back Ribs stream anymore.

"This is the first I'm hearing about that, she certainly seems like she would vote for someone like that"

This is actually the secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord

Peru 🇵🇪

The Pod Johns needed to get their coke dealer elected to public office by any means necessary

To prove racial gerrymandering, a plaintiff has to draw race-blind districts that are just as favorable to Republicans. But that's impossible to do because Republicans uniformly select racists as their candidates and Black voters won't vote for racists. So racial gerrymandering is always allowed.

Their new girlfriend is women

Trump skipped his son’s wedding then did nothing all weekend but post A true poster

Taylor Lorenz has been an insanity study conducted by Poaster's University. The study is now complete, we thank you for your time

the tankie thesis is that communism is dead and we must avenge its corpse and then die

Kinda feel like Jaxson Dart being a dumbass is a case of nominative determinism. Very rarely do you hear the sentence “this is our museum curator, Jaxson”

to put this on main feed: 1) this specific data center actually did completely fuck the local water supply during construction 2) that this didn't immediately get them crushed in court and forced to provide everyone with infrastructure for clean water is bad 3) that it's a data center is incidental

A candidate not really knowing who is who in media is actually a plus for me

One of the things that makes me the most fearful for the health of our democracy is this bizarre behavior by the press in twisting stories to make Trump's activities fit within normal frameworks that are completely inappropriate for the circumstances.

The NYT removed the "um"s in Trump's answer on Taiwan, but put "um"s in AOC's answer on Taiwan to make her look dumb Trump said "Um, I would say 'like' is maybe too strong a word...um, no, I'm holding that in abeyance and it depends on China, depends, it's a, it's a.." L: Trump R: AOC Video below

I feel like prominent journalists being massive conspiracy theorists isn’t good for society.

It’s hard not to overstate this digesting Polis clemency decision. In a coherent society election interference should be considered a form of treason.

Large accounts need to start dropping the hammer on randos to keep them in line. Amazing energy.

it’d be really funny if they had 10 more jelly roll songs lined up but saw how no one enjoyed the first one so they pressed a big button that says SHAKIRA

Maine Senate election

"Direct"X regularly being bested by Indirect-X(11) is so emblematic of how Windows coding is going. (Well, indirect-Wayland more often now, but that's not as funny.)

A complicated man. Ideological but frustratingly myopic. Combative but stubbornly passive. Knew the ins and outs of council but wasted his moments of opportunity. Ultimately little to show for 20 years in office. www.thestar.com/news/gta/gor...

California has so empowered the hecklers veto that we added $1 billion dollars to the high speed rail project and delayed hitting our climate goals to ensure a zero emission train wasn’t laid too close to a child rapists grave.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: let Wes Anderson make a kaiju movie.
