It’s going to happen someday and people are going to celebrate and anybody who wants to scold that celebration had best be prepared to fight.

Seconding this for anyone who needs to hear it. My last drink was January 9, 2016, and I got a LOT of mileage out of "I picked the wrong year to quit drinking," which was in no small part my Gen X gallows humor getting me through that brutal year. If you need help, reach out. You're not alone.

This feels really gross. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Kirk was a nobody to normal people, but it's now clear how important he was to the right. The dream of post-Steve Bannon conservativism: An influencer presidential candidate. A homegrown Trump. The panic we're seeing is a movement realizing they have nothing to replace Trump's cult of personality.

Dear gestapo trash:

Timeline cleanse.

TikTok will be co-owned by China and Trump allies, Paramount was sold to a pro-Trump billionaire who's also set to buy Warner Bros, X is owned by an apartheid-bred fascist, WaPo and Meta are owned by Trump-cowering billionaires, and Murdoch owns the Fox empire. Here's why media has a liberal bias.

Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!

Yesterday, I had the privilege and the honor to emcee the opening of the new Metro A Line light rail extension from Glendora to Pomona.

This right here.

He raged at his minions that he needed something big to distract everyone, and he certainly got it. The Epstein files must be so much worse than we can even imagine. Trump knows that even his cult won't stand for whatever evidence there is of his abuse and depredation. Keep up the pressure.

Star Trek & @metrolosangeles.bsky.social worlds collide! 🚀🚈🚌 @georgetakei.bsky.social (Hikaru Sulu) served on SCRTD (Metro’s predecessor) Board @wilwheaton.net (Wesley Crusher) - MC for A Line extension to Pomona opening ceremony Ed Begley, Jr. (Henry Starling) is an unofficial Metro ambassador

It took me less then five minutes to cancel, and I told them why. It sounds like this pressure and consumer revolt is getting noticed, so keep it up. And don't forget that Trump is all over the Epstein files. It's so bad, the entire GOP will destroy America, if that's what it takes, to protect him.

This is hilarious. Even the Dutch are way ahead of us in seeing how bad things are in the United States with Donald Trump running amok and corporations capitulating to fascism. But, then again, the Netherlands has experience with being taken over by fascists.

this may brighten your day tbh

"...most elected Democrats remain in the mode of believing they are a party of government temporarily out of power. They are that too. But really they’re an opposition party in the midst of an attempted authoritarian takeover of the American Republic." - @joshtpm.bsky.social

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

It's pretty easy to cancel your Disney+ subscription, and a coordinated, national day of cancellations would send a very clear message about our values as Americans.

General pattern in regime change: the comedy gets better and then it gets banned.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

more than a decade ago, one Fraction-Aja Hawkeye panel captured the vibe of this entire era we're living in now

This is eliminationist, genocidal rhetoric. There’s nothing ambiguous about it. And it didn’t come from a random Bluesky account with 28 followers. It came from a sitting member of Congress. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/texas-c...

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

I just saw that today's date (9/16/25 in America, 16.9.25 in the civilized world) is a series of squares: 3x3/4x4/5x5 Everything is terrible, but that's something cool about today that we can all enjoy for a moment. Math is a language of the Universe. I love when I hear it like this. #numbernerd

The shape of politics in the US right now is increasingly that the media, political and economic elites are allied with the Trump regime against the actual people of the country who hate it

Make it make sense.

“Klein’s interest here isn’t honesty but flattery. It shows Klein isn’t writing about Kirk at all. He’s writing about himself and saying, ‘I’m doing politics the right way because I’m lauding someone who disagrees with me.’”

Right now there's a clear and obvious relationship between social media and anti-social behavior, and we cannot go on like this.

"You're not permitted to say anything negative about Charlie Kirk!" - the Fvck-Your-Feelings Folks who chanted "Fvck Joe Biden" for almost 4 years

I'll get you Eh Steve, if it's the last thing I doooooooooo!

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

If any one of us called for Brian Kilmeade to be killed by lethal injection, for any reason, we'd be rightly excoriated. Yet he can go on national television, casually call for the extrajudicial murder of an entire group of people, and it'll be forgotten before the coffee gets cold. Fuck this.

This is such good news for me and my fellow SAG/AFTRA members! www.sagaftra.org/sag-aftra-me...

Unfortunately evergreen.

Nancy Mace acting on disinformation that the shooter was trans: goes off on tirade against "trannies" Nancy Mace when the actual shooter is a Christian white man: "he's just a poor lost boy, let us pray for him."

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

🧵 "'He would fire & reload, fire & reload, fire reload,' Kelley said. 'This went on & on'.” (paywall-free link archive.is/RK7kt) Re: the word "important" ⬇️ All humans are equally important; some deaths are more *consequential*. If school gun deaths were consequential in America, we'd know already.

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed. spitfirenews.com/p/the-nation...

Wow the Mets really Mets'd hard tonight.

Jesus fucking Christ. Fuck the Wall Street Journal for spreading the initial bullshit

This is a frightening story.
