Francis Fukuyama: ‘The neoliberals went too far. Now, we need more social democratic policies’ english.elpais.com/culture/2022...

"I think this current Supreme Court is committed not to leftist liberalism by any means but, basically, to liberalism. They all believe in freedom of speech. They’re all highly committed to freedom of religion. Pluralism is something they embrace." -- Sunstein to Chotiner

My professional assessment is that Ezra Klein is a moron @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Trump: "There are parts of the world that don't take Tylenol. There's a rumor, and I don't know if it's so or not, that Cuba, they don't have Tylenol because they don't have the money for Tylenol, and they have virtually no autism. Okay? Tell me about that one!"

It helps to remember that on a very real level, one that is more literal than you would think possible, there’s a class of media ghoul that does not believe people living in these states are people

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

“Debate Me” culture is not organic, endemic, or apolitical. This mode of high jacking discourse is and has been central to a 30-year conservative training program that has produced untold numbers of people to do this for every reason but “civil discourse”

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

The right was so quick to blame “trans ideology’ for Charlie Kirk’s assassination last week that no facts will be enough to convince them otherwise.

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Governor Hochul endorses Zohran Mamdani for mayor She writes an oped in the NYT to announce it, increasing the pressure on Schumer and Jeffries: “I am confident that he has the courage, urgency and optimism New York City needs to lead it through the challenges of this moment.”

so I will say I discounted Canelo's legendary chin but that's about it, Crawford utterly outclassed this man

“Mr. Van Hollen saw a different lesson [from his role in the Abrego Garcia case]. ‘This finger in the wind stuff has got to end. We also need to stop deluding ourselves that the problem is all about messaging, or about volume, or style. We don’t just need to fight. We need to fight for something.’”

Hooooooooo[deep breath]ooooooboy

Moderate guys aren't doing liberals any favors by trying to bring back "retarded." This slur is not a victim of 2019-era liberal excesses. The medical community dropped it back in 1992. It's good to use language that appeals broadly to readers but please be serious. @noahpinion.blogsky.venki.dev

deshaun foster is about to be fired

You know our house is plugged into social media because “Big John” the English guy who orders too much Chinese food is a significant part of our TV lives.

I still think this one was the banger. 🤭 youtu.be/Hq54IRpXMAA

deshaun foster should be fired

Some thoughts about the Great Khan heading into Chicagoland's big Reverse Fort Sumter weekend.

"the typical black American has much deeper American roots than the typical white American. Trump himself, whose grandparents were all foreign-born, is an excellent example of relatively shallow white American roots." www.niskanencenter.org/logic-populi...

lol what the fuck

Dems overperforming by 20 points in Western Iowa:

Look at these losers

James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.

BREAKING: A new experiment in Philly shows cash rental assistance slashed homelessness rates by 57–67%.

Dang that’s crazy

“I gave my life to Christ in the Cracker Barrel parking lot” sounds like the filthiest euphemism I have ever heard.

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?

When Billy fucking Long says you’ve gone too far…lol

When Billy Long, who’s basically a Thomas Nast cartoon of corruption made flesh, thinks you’re asking too much …

Forbes 30 Under 30 remains a leading indicator of fraud

hey, spoiler here, the answer to what happened to Vox Media is pretty much what happened to everything: Shit leadership and an executive corps who could not find their ass with a GPS and an Atlas of Notable Asses (Ft. Your Own)

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on. It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

Like clockwork

WE RIDE FOR THE KHAN

Real TedHeads know the modern Dansonssaince started with Bored to Death

I think it’s telling that rather than funding a world that allows more people to be able to make art, the goal of the tech overlords is to plagiarize the history of the arts to get rid of human makers and technique while concentrating more wealth into the hands of a few. I don’t know how that’s good

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

The family of Virginia Giuffre responds to the Maxwell prison move: "President Trump has sent a clear message today: Pedophiles deserve preferential treatment and their victims do not matter."

"If we want the Westside to remain a welcoming place –not just for the wealthy, but for everyone –we have to make it possible for more people to live here. That means building more homes. Enter SB 79..." www.losangelesblade.com/2025/07/31/t...

Yes because Dem voters can see clear as day what is happening to their country, but Dem leaders are afraid to fight and say things like "pedophilia is a distraction, what's up with egg prices" and sandbag the most popular candidate we've had since Obama announced his run, so they're fucking DONE
