the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default “I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

There is something deeply humane in this television program, and every time I am tempted to call some other show the best ever made, I remember some weird little moment from it that is absolutely perfect.

imagine watching this and not thinking that this is the whole goddamn reason to even *have* America

If officials can’t bring themselves to arrest someone who is captured on camera from multiple angles killing someone in cold blood, they should just step aside so someone with a backbone can lead

“Maybe tomorrow.”

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Read this very carefully: *One quarter* of all the people who have died of starvation in Gaza over the past 22 months have died in the past *3* days.
