Every conservative who has criticized the FCC's attack on Jimmy Kimmel says it's because if that power is granted, it will eventually be used to censor conservatives. It'd be nice to hear at least one of them say that it's JUST WRONG for the gov't to do that, regardless of who is being silenced.

I see bad people

There is something very 19th century (complimentary) about a Chotiner. Imagine building fearsome renown because you have a talent for flaying people via polite follow up.

Fine: 1) What’s happening to the U.S. is part of a transnational far-right, autocratic wave and it cannot be treated as a purely domestic issue 2) A major subset of these dynamics is globalized kleptocracy/oligarchy; tackling that requires rebuilding & enhancing int’l anti-corruption mechanisms

Talking about fascism in class, I brought up The Boys (esp Stormfront). One of the things I said in describing Vought is "It's like a Nazi Disney" and this past week sort of hung over the room.

Q: Do you support defund the police A: No Q: Do you support defunding the police A: Yes

You know what else is “stark raving mad?” Journalists and Democratic politicians who refuse to leave a website overrun with Nazis, and owned by an outright Nazi.

Absolutely do not listen to a single thing this admin tells you about vaccines or health care in general.

What I gather from the Chotiner interview is that Cass Sunstein has authored a defense of liberalism where liberals are defined as those who he could imagine encountering at a Harvard faculty meeting.

If Isaac Chotiner asks you about your friendship with Henry Kissinger, you are already dead.

tha fuck? elite lawyer brain is ... wow, just fucking wow

Trump is pronouncing "acetaminophen" the right way. by Ezra Klein

Have you seen how much--AND WHAT KIND OF--stuff come out of kids? They're disgusting!

Funniest motherfucking thing I've seen: Confederate wannabe @sendougmastriano.bsky.social claiming the mantle of Lincoln. This cracker is something. Wears a gotdamn confederate uniform for a faculty photo, and wants to try and claim Lincoln? Bitch, no.

So, they're all still here, right?

Oh yeah. Absolutely. Having a history of sexual assault charges, killing black or brown people, and getting caught running scams are 3 things that often get you job offers in this administration. But the number 1 thing? Never, ever apologize for anything that you've done. Ever. That's the big one.

Notice a trend? MAGA rewards you for killing Black people. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/u...

And come crashing in

We elected this guy twice. Meanwhile, Bolsonaro is in jail. And no, I’m not going to empathize with the assholes who voted for them. They should be ashamed and embarrassed and walk around in hair shirts every fucking day. You did this, motherfuckers.

I really do think we need to see the rape and abuse of women and children as not like a peculiar indulgence or hypocrisy of the right, but as a foundational practice from which their worldview proceeds. Rape is the metaphor from which they draw their other conclusions about domination and hierarchy.

I'm not an easily embarrassed person, but man, that UN talk.

Trump just canceled this meeting

Did they laugh at him?

Actually let me correct this; this is an inter generational problem. Too many people seem unable and/or unwilling to see how dangerous this building reliance on gAI is

We are producing a generation unable and (somewhat) unwilling to think, read and write without relying on tech controlled by some of the most evil people on the planet to tell them what to think, read and write and they don’t seem to see the dangers of this dependency even if we point it out

In death as in life

Multiple peer reviewed studies done by medical researchers indicate that Tylenol does not seem to be a cause of autism. But one heroin-addicted nepo baby says that it is. For pregnant mothers it can be hard to know who to trust.

The guy who got a brain parasite from eating roadkill told me Tylenol causes autism.

So, they're all still here, right?

When you don’t have the Politics Reporters on the policy beat, you get actual real POLICY analysis, not soul-deafening, democracy-eroding bothsiders nonsense.

Brendan Carr threatening ABC on Benny Johnson's podcast reminds us it was just a year ago we learned that Johnson and other high-profile right-wing podcasters were LITERALLY ON THE KREMLIN PAYROLL and everyone on the right said "Eh, whatever, no biggie" and they're still doing their thing.

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?" A: yes

If I sounded a bit salty this past week, I have to say. I spent years monitoring Proud Boys who thought Charlie Kirk was just the bees' knees. Watching the liberal media establishment treat him like some free speech hero has fully driven me over some internal cliff that I did not even know existed

Aren't they more disproven than unproven?

Animal Cyclones

There is only ONE Lewandowski I want to think about sexually. You're welcome.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Just did the weekly Zoom with the parents. Might be the last one with Mom. The decline even in the past week. Holy shit. I'm a bit numb, but I know that when the meltdown comes, it's gonna be epic. Now, new tires for the car. Gonna have to drive back to Iowa soon.

By the way, h/t @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social: There IS a study of autistic children in Cuba. Right here. www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/12...

when it happens the funeral is gonna be so funny

SERENITY NOW!!!!

At Costco (yay! Vaccinations!) Just saw a bruvcut so bad I gasped out loud.

“solving autism” the day before the rapture is so desperate

Dear students, Please complete all your work this week BEFORE you are expecting to be raptured. I will not accept "being left behind" as a valid excuse for late assignment submissions.

Ain't no way that man apologized or promised to apologize so I look forward to see what happens
