Hegseth is a cold-blooded murderer. There's no way to dress it up. He's a criminal. And his was precisely the kind of illegal order that those Dem members of Congress urged the military not to follow. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

good news everyone the Mistaken Text From Grandma Thanksgiving buddy drama is still going strong this story delights me every year

If you are in the National Guard and fear you may be deployed to violate the rights of US citizens, there is help. Call the GI Rights Hotline at 1-877-447-4487 Visit girightshotline.org for more information

With ALT. This is legitimately terrifying. This is a MASSIVE escalation of violent anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies. It’s almost as if they knew unleashing the military into American cities would lead to violence and they were already planning to use that violence to justify this.

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.

yes reasonable and fair to wait until we have more information to talk about any motive. no not necessary to wait until we have more information to blame the president and the governors who illegally put national guard where they didn't belong to harass and terrorize their political enemies for show

i am lucky that even with my adhd-induced audio processing issues, i don’t always have extra noise sensitivity. but sometimes sound becomes a physical thing, especially people talking over each other like at, say, a holiday gathering, and i wish i had serious noise-cancelling headphones so much

Just absolute craven shitshow gotta-be-first-to-the-internet politics.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

he fell victim to one of the classic blunders! the most famous of which is, ‘never answer the phone for isaac chotiner,’ but only slightly less well-known is this: ‘never behave in a manner which causes derek guy to critique your fashion choices’

Remember when Trump’s sons announced a made-in-the-USA smartphone and a new wireless service, Trump Mobile? Three months later, the phone’s ship date keeps getting delayed with no explanation — although the company continues to collect $100 deposits. The grift never ends.

While this NYT article pulls punches on Trump's madness, impulsivity, and delusions, it's useful in that it creates space for other articles about Trump's age and clear cognitive and physical decline to follow. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

so it begins.

I reported a few months ago that in August Microsoft had only 8 million active paying users of Microsoft 365 Copilot. So tired of his company! Wow you’re gonna have 220 million paying subscribers, crazy, are you going to conjure a genie too? How about a dragon? Fantastical bullshit

can't believe this ancient mesopotamia shoe wearing ass said people need to dress up at the airport

Men will do things like announce “the most popular pie in the country is bad and it’s not debatable” and still be allowed to have jobs and drive cars.

Y’all I’m really enjoying the pie discourse. We have to do more ridiculous shit like this. We can’t just torture ourselves and each other all day every day with trauma. It’s good to sometimes have some silly fun and remember that happiness still exists and we should fight for more of it.

It’s sad that “soldiers shouldn’t commit crimes” is a brave position for a Republican to take.

Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water. What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains. And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Feels like a deep state conspiracy

personally i think this is the best follow-up question

War of aggression, mass killing of civilians, and settler colonialism

I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.

If Isaac Chotiner ever said this to me, I would move to the woods.

I have long had an obscure, complex theory about Susan Collins that explains these things. Susan Collins is terrible and anyone who ever suggested she is a moderate is a liar or a rube. That's it. That's the whole thing.

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement. "If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call. I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

Instead of retiring, 3-5 GOP Congresspeople could stop this Administration cold. The culture in Congress that sees itself as the President’s handmaiden as opposed to the Article I branch has rotted every inch of it. Not just cowardice, a learned helplessness.

Right after insisting all of the president's orders to the military are lawful, she notes that the president is going to continue to order the military to assassinate innocent fishermen in international waters.

the culture war/political divide is obviously real. but stuff like this shows it's also heavily amplified by essentially synthetic actors. researchers know this but the extent is notable. the platforms like this engagement. this is a desired outcome for them. fraying the social fabric for ad revenue

if there's a reason to keep up the "tribunals for all involved" discourse one such reason it is to put in stark relief how far away some of the Dem politicking is from the mood on the ground

It’s blowing my mind that schools, universities, public services would run headlong into this. We spent 15 years documenting black boxes. This is a black box in a black hole!

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Oh! It's not just Fibbonacci Day but also Doctor Who Day; it first aired OTD in 1963! Allons-y!

every social media company is bad but Meta really is uniquely evil

Yes, and also, leave X if you have not already

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Fucking depraved

no one has even bothered trying to convince us there’s a threat from Venezuela. no weapons of mass destruction. nothing. just a war of choice because why not.

listening to "the cartographers" by peng shepherd and for most people the plot hinging on not just copyright traps in maps but specifically agloe, new york, is probably not an issue. but i have also read paper towns by john green, so i am having to suspend extra disbelief, haha.

someone who is good at coming up with cocktails do me a favor and develop something that's a terry's chocolate orange but as a cocktail. or fancy it up as a ghiradelli blood orange dark chocolate bar but as a cocktail. i have a vision but not the skill to make it happen lol.
