I really hate anti-trans politicians, and I especially hate it because it was a culture war issue where we were clearly winning and then a bunch of nominally liberal people at the Times and the Atlantic decided to reverse that and they did.

This is also tyrannical. Capriciously and vindictively changing laws to manufacture offenses is always illegitimate.

we have to build more housing to get these people out of red states

Finally we can pivot to Asia!

I don't know if the constitution has failed us, but I sure know these conglomerations of pathetic worms in the shape of men have failed the constitution. If the constitution is broken, it is quite literally because the founders could not conceive of men so spineless. It never occurred to them!

Oh FFS. "I don't know the answer to that." YES YOU DO, you damned, unpatriotic coward. You are the Senate majority leader! The Constitution says your house (and the other one) has to vote yes. So if you think the answer should be no, THE ANSWER IS NO.

Hey all, looking for work. I'm a senior developer in Toronto with experience in Golang and Identity/Security. if someone knows of an org providing remote work, please let me know. Thanks!

I really hope at least one person has that browser extension that plays clown music whenever a news article mentions Rob Ford but forgot about it until they read this article

“We can launch a F-35C Lightning II stealth fighter off a floating supercomputer the size of a city but you’ll have to poop off the sides into the ocean” somehow sums up post-2024 America in its entirety.

Not lost on me that a piece ostensibly about rising antisemitism in the Democratic Party focuses almost entirely on Zohran Mamdani, Uncommitted, AOC and Mejia and not, like, the guy with the Nazi tattoo.

yeah there's a real clear villain here and it's not any of the people on mic or on camera

This is a fucking stitch up, come the fuck on. Some bastard knew what would happen. Maybe not exactly what, but they knew *something* would happen, and they wanted the world to see it. They've thrown John, and everyone with coprolalia, under the bus, and caused harm to black viewers as well.

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.

Every news outlet in the country could've ran a front page "Trump child rape accusations illegally purged from Epstein files in massive coverup" headline and they all chose "Good boy Trump nails speech!" instead.

What’s really striking in Saruman’s speech to Gandalf is how broadly (and unusually for Tolkien) relevant it is. Take out the one specific reference to the Elves and Númenor and it is just an absolute classic rationale for collaborating with evil in the confidence you can ultimately direct it.

This part in particular is basically the thought process of the entire American elite in 2025

great, we're going to send a guy who is at best a lying edgelord troll to the senate, and then everyone is going to be 'how could we have seen this coming?' when the guy with the Nazi tattoo betrays them.

Republicans ratfucking the race for Crockett

Evangelion is now older than Misato.

What people want is for Davidson to proclaim himself a monster racist and then shoot himself in the head. Nothing else will satisfy.

The truth is that this is a very common reaction to mental illness. People say they're supportive and compassionate to those afflicted until their affliction is unpleasant or repulsive- afterwards, they accuse those suffering of malingering to "get away with" that behavior.

Americans send military grade guns and bullets along with giant suitcases full of cash in exchange for drugs and trafficked women. We then turn around and scream at the Mexican government to kill the cartels we just finished building into professional private military companies. Then comes the news.

47% of all acquired 50 caliber rounds in Mexico trace back to a single munitions plant on the far end of the KC metro. A single plant with scandals because of its massive environmental impact and the local over reliance on its business for employment. By itself, 47% of all 50cal bullets in Mexico.

If only there was a BAFTA-nominated film that explained his condition

I just really struggle with the image of giving an award to the actor who played the disabled man struggling to find social acceptance… and then excluding the man himself, because you think his disability is unacceptable. It’s almost parable-like in its precise depiction of false acceptance

The real question is will all the “leftists” mad about a guy with Tourettes daring to show his face in public decide society needs Victorian asylums but woke, or will they decide that’s too carceral and go for the anarchist option of killing the disabled via exposure as the Greeks once did

Call me privileged if you wish but I don’t think it‘s that entitled to not want to be kicked out of your hotel onto the street when you find yourself in a war zone?

Right, fine, I'll weigh in on the Discourse: Tourettes is a real neurological condition and setting your blood to boil over someone with Tourette's displaying the symptoms of their disease in public is essentially saying that someone with Tourette's shouldn't have a public life.

This is really where I am- someone with Tourette's can't control what they say in their fits. A broadcaster who has two hours to go in there and slap any kind of censorship over the racial epithet but who chooses not to is making a very conscious choice.

There is a frequent misreading of strategic dynamics around anti-cartel operations that assumes they are about eliminating narcotics sales. Most security officials are more realistic than that but still believe it is essential to ensure that the state remains more powerful than organised crime.

Happy anniversary for those who celebrate.

it's so good to learn that when some people said "destigmatise mental illness" they didn't mean, like, "stop judging people for things they can't help," they meant "i should be allowed to get up late for work"

GRRM told them the real ending of his books and they put it faithfully to the screen, but then everyone hated it so he just won't finish the last book

Ronald D. Moore: ‘Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Series Finale That Doesn’t Suck Shit, Huh?’

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

In seriousness, someone I am friends with posted this in the group chat, and I think about it all the time now, so many men are like this

From the same Western hypocrisy that "uninvites" Palestinians for saying "please stop doing genocide", Israeli man saying "let's do genocide" is such a victim given a nice proper portrait picture. Doesn't he look decent? Really it was just 100,000 Palestinians he wanted murdered.

You can't rant about the "goddamn Canadians" anymore without people assuming you mean it in a weird way, thank you so much Donald Trump and every sub-zero IQ conservative commentard who earnestly went along with the administration's imperialist fantasies

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

an ironic thing: China is considerably more corrupt than the U.S. in day-to-day life, but Chinese college admissions are one of the least corrupt parts of the system and U.S. ones one of the most corrupt parts.

[standing around the ruins of my faberge egg collection with a hammer] someone could probably replace these as fast as i broke them

i, for one, think it is very cool and good that justified student protests triggered a nationwide panic over “college antisemitism” whereas the president’s only friend constantly boosting “jews caused every war”-style gutter content is apparently beneath the newsworthiness threshold

yeah IDK about that she's literally on their payroll www.notus.org/2026-electio...

This is another case in which, unfortunately, simply repeating what these men who are objectively in power have said is considered conspiratorial in the US.

It is a bit disgraceful, for example, that the first person to ask the US Ambassador to Israel where precisely he considers the borders of Israel to be is....Tucker Carlson.

I know dems are sensitive to politicize the fbi but director using position and government resources to party in Italy while parent of high profile celebrity continues to be mia seems likes a scandal

“Working class America was destroyed by free trade” and “sanctions against Cuba are evil” is an oddly common set of simultaneous beliefs

hasan thinks this is good but i have it on good authority that pyongyang is just putting up luxury condos so gentrifiers can make the rents unaffordable for the nomenklatura
