October-7th and what followed have radicalized me very hard against ethnonationalism. Just legions of people on every side who should and absolutely do know better saying “ok but [attrocity] is good when it’s us tho” and being taken seriously for some reason. Fuck your blood and fuck your soil.

anti politics is usually just a byword for reactionary. people who celebrate some "end of ideology" in MENA celebrate the destruction of Gaza, south Lebanon, southwest Syria, much of Sudan

Thought of a history counterfactual: What if Alaska was sold to the US from the Soviet Union during WWII? The revenues would have bolstered the Soviet military effort and thousands of people living in a new US territory would have grown up under Marxism-Leninism.

this is why I can never log off

Conspiracism is growing on the left, most commonly among normie liberals. While not as large a problem as on the right, these people are just as stupid. Their influence cannot be allowed to grow. Trump won in 2024. The ballroom is just a ballroom. FUCK OFF. youtu.be/gmR8tdbkrcA?...

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?” “Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥 #ForcedBirthNation

Watched Knives Out 3 today Very scary movie. I saw too much of the real world, and too much of my personal world, throughout the film. Religious fundamentalists are dangerous freaks.

boy I sure do love not being able to sleep because I can't stop fucking ruminating on how shit could go wrong with my religious zealot uncle at christmas

It was an unforgivable dereliction of duty that the majority of elected congressional Republican office holders were not in prison for open insurrection by March 2021.

the best way to protect Jewish people from fascism in the US is to fight fascism in the US. It is not to protect a violent fascist government in Israel.

"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

It's finally here! When I dove into the Krakoan saga, I got physical trade paperbacks for most of the books I wanted to read. But in the case of Duggan's run, I read digitally at first because the omnibus was announced but not yet released. Now I have every Krakoa book I read on my shelf! #XMen

Candace Owens gets even more explicit in her neo-Nazism: youtu.be/uqSwQI0Pd2U?...

Over half of Americans believe Trump is corrupt and nearly three quarters believe a congressperson would accept a bribe. Democrats are failing to establish themselves as the anti-corruption party. From Dylan Gyauch-Lewis: trib.al/sBNJlPb

I unlocked mega evolution today and the game is shaping up decently well. Lots of potential here! I hope it isn't wasted as I get further in.

Fuck him.

BRENNAN: What are you going to do to force DOJ to comply? MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.

I'm a Pokemon fan, and I'm getting older. I'm far from the only person in both of those groups. The inability to skip early tutorials in Legnds Z-A is such a pain in the ass. It's 2025! You have so many players in their teens, 20's, and 30's! Get it together, Gamefreak!

It's an older relic from the last Trump era but it has I believe found its time.

This story almost slipped beneath my radar: Rising CO2 levels are making plants less nutritious and possibly more toxic. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A member of the neo-Nazi white separatist group PNW Wolf Pack fell to his death trying to pick a mistletoe from a tree this holiday season 🎄❄

Me on January 20th:

“Politicians should do what wins elections” is asinine for moral reasons but also, no one knows what will win an election! Yglesias et al keep acting like there’s some obvious set of policies or words that will guarantee victory but Harris basically did what they wanted and she lost.

President Trump is banning gender-affirming care for children, and a total ban on trans health care is next as Republicans trample the rights of children and their parents. From @ryanlcooper.com: trib.al/ybm19M5

Cursed subheadline.

I've released in the last year or two that I don't give a damn about the distinction between liberalism and socialism. I believe what I believe, no matter the label people would assign to me for it. "Left liberal," "liberal socialist," "democratic socialist," it doesn't matter much to me.

It's very easy to laugh at the Trump regime's frequent legal incompetence but their hit rate doesn't need to be very high in order to successfully intimidate people. Even an absurd prosecution like this has a chance to succeed.

My opinion on this person is not protected by the first amendment.

NEW: They kept saying they were gonna do it and now they've done it A group of clowns (Senators) have introduced a bill to FULLY REPEAL Section 230. No reform, no replacement, just utter destruction of all online free speech. We can't let this happen. Share & take action www.badinternetbills.com

I've been waiting to find out exactly how Trump was going to personally profit from the AI greed frenzy he has unleashed because there was no way he was *not* going to get a piece. Now we know: a $6-billion merger of his failing media corp with an AI energy corp www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025...

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Brendan Carr uncomfortable chuckles as Markey accuses him of being the chair of the "Federal Censorship Commission"

The peace president

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Silksong is getting a free expansion next year

The normalization and acceptance of Islamophobia in our politics is disgusting. Our Muslim neighbors are not Republicans’ scapegoats for antisemitic attacks and Trump’s failed policies. We must absolutely condemn Islamophobia loudly and hold those perpetuating it accountable.

America has seen 13 deaths from whooping cough this year, along with the largest measles outbreak since it was declared eliminated in 2000 — all thanks to RFK Jr.’s war on vaccines. From Ryan Cooper: trib.al/dUTGJPO

white male intellectuals will really have you thinking one of their own is indispensable despite proof of how much they suck, and despite the existence of so many others doing similar work and doing it better.

Morally just policy on Israel will not come from bipartisan efforts. Human rights are a progressive value. Don't fall for a fascist con. #Israel #palestine #Fascism #TuckerCarlson #CandaceOwens (4/6)

Yup. And just a reminder, he's been even more explicit in the past, especially with his antisemitism.

Incredible, not in a good way, how many academics, journalists, and policy folks continue to actively attend the Nazi Bar on a daily basis.

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area. (15 in Manhattan btw)
