The centrism in this headline.... on an article covering verifiable scientific consensus... I am so tired.

I agree with Matt, but it's also important to remember that, both times, Trump's margin of victory came from low info voters who thought they were voting for President Business

it's just a fact. you can't have a global hegemon who every few years is at risk of electing a lunatic government that will undo treaties, start murdering people in international waters on a whim, stop aid programs, and slap wanton tariffs on the world capriciously. we have no credibility anymore

Can’t explain it but of course they want to take away one of the only painkillers that’s safe for pregnancy, a condition that causes weird and unusual pains. these people WANT pregnancy to be a punishment and handicap. they want to control.

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Fascist, heal thyself.

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

Please permit me to remind you that just as the First Amendment protects Nazis, who would suppress our speech, it also protects the New York Times, which has sold out every American right and value for the mess of Park Slope potage that is false equivalency, false neutrality, and access.

Oh so the economic outlook is BAD bad

incredible

stop trying to make civil war happen

Good question. I think we Americans are trying to find an answer.

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

THE OFFICIAL TROP ACCOUNT JUST POSTED THIS!!!!!! NÚMENOR FANS WE WIN TODAY!!!!!!!!!

It’s like opening a grocery store selling pure puke. Cans of throw up and bags of barf and cartons of hurl. “Why does no one want to buy my regurgitate? Are you Luddites? I’m just flooding the zone! Look at all this food I have carefully prepared! Feed, you foolish doubters! Do you hate nutrition?”

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Following the Hyundai raid, LG Energy Solution suspended most business trips to the US and directed employees to return home immediately. It comes less than two months since South Korea committed $350B in US investments, including a $26B Hyundai steel mill in Louisiana.

475 South Korean nationals taken into custody by Trump‘s immigration authorities because they had the audacity to be WORKING in a $7.6 billion plant that’s the biggest economic development project in the history of Georgia. If you’re South Korea, would YOU continue to invest in a place like this?

Tonight's movie night cutie charcuterie

we should have nuked Vietnam but woke stopped us

Putting these two nut jobs on the same page is actually crazy.

There is only one thing more cringe than “God Bless our First Lady. She, of course, is wiser than all of us” and it is “I am the U.S. Energy Secretary and I talk to ChatGPT about how to cure cancer.”

I once asked a heterosexual man if he washed recently, because he smelled so bad. He replied that he washed that morning. A lady friend of mine lost her cool and asked if he washed his ass. His response was: "Wash my ass? That's GAY!"

When we talk about how "Magneto was right," this is why -- here he is, correctly predicting how this is going to go. It starts with dehumanizing; then that leads to tracking; tracking leads to arrests; arrests lead to camps; camps lead to genocide.

Good for him! This is good.

All I hear from Boomer aged folks is how stupid, subliterate, and weird young people are, and all I hear from young people is how insensitive, prejudiced, and selfish Boomers are. Frankly, I think this checks out. I think legacy media types are fighting to stay relevant.

This is Spud. She was offered a stick of celery today and took personal offense to that. 12/10 (IG: spud.the.cryptid)

It's a fucking chain restaurant that re-heats frozen food.

Bonus video now on Nebula: debunking “they weren’t using the land” - a lie colonisers used to justify land left in the early US, which philosopher John Locke contributed to nebula.tv/videos/philo...

It never ceases to amaze me how unfamiliar most of my fellow Americans are with their own history. Even if you think you are well-acquainted with this history, I still recommend giving this your time.

I think what I find particularly galling about the people saying stuff like this (and I’m shocked by the volume of it) is that we are years out from having to “make a decision” on who to vote for and there is zero interest in trying to *move the politicians* on this or any other issue.

I normally balk at rank lists of the "best" movies or the "best" performances. Having said that, ranking Naomi Watts' performance in Mulholland Drive as number ONE on this list of the 101 best movie performances of the 21st century just feels... right.

NOTHING can top this level of political satire. @nytpitchbot.bsky.social is simply peerless. Well done, sir.

Watching the Pod Save guys slowly be driven insane by staring into the moral abyss of a party they helped create the modern version of has been an absolutely perfect sweet spot of schadenfreude for me.

fine. whatever. you win. all the shooters are trans. this is what happens when you refuse medical care to trans people. oh wait? does that not work? still just want to eliminate us? weird.

A purveyor of bagels who does not separate the sweet from the savory ought to be locked in the stocks and pelted with rancid tomatoes. I don't want my blueberry bagel to taste of garlic and onion, thank you very much.

Good god.

The median German citizen was not killed or imprisoned during the Third Reich, so it’s hard to see how anti-Nazism is a winning message for the left.

Ah what's wrong little buddy? Why the dirty delete? Big clever dark money think tank boy like you can almost certainly defend the position you came to based on ✨vibes✨ against a bunch of people who have actually read a book one time.

Check this shit out motherfucker *embargoes own country*

Snoop went from Gin & Juice to whining about a lesbian kiss in a Pixar movie. Imagine surviving decades of censorship, police harassment, and being labeled a “threat to society”… only to turn around and fear visibility for others who’ve been marginalized just like you.

I can't believe he basically got people to Pokemon Go To The Polls.

So, our good friend @teawithtolkien.com actually did something pretty... punk rock, actually. She made a pocket guide to Middle-earth, and it's really, really well done. Like, I could not even contemplate a more concise overview that is as easy-going as this one.

ICE is not threatening to deport Garcia to Uganda, they are threatening to rendition him. They are threatening to send him to a prison in a foreign country. This government is not closing the southern border, they are torturing immigrants and their families. Our so-called leaders are sick people.

The only thing I can say about this paragraph is read it. Sit with it. Read it again. @michaelharriot.bsky.social
