it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

I'm running for office in the Battle-River Crowfoot by-election. Pierre Poilievre doesn't live there. Neither do I. So why vote for him when you can vote for me? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezU9... #cdnpoli #cdnmedia #ItsOurVote #cdnpoli

NO FUCKING WAY THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT

getting excited to watch my team possibly sweep the beloathed houston astros but then remembering i'm a seattle mariners fan

gotta say Portland weather right now is the kinda shit i dreamed about when i left Texas after one last nightmare summer. i know it won't last but god bless the PNW

downloading this before a flight is solidarity

he's right and he's right to say it

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

FOLKS

the lesson you should draw from the most jewish city in the world putting an israel-skeptic muslim over the top in the mayoral primary is literally the opposite of "anti-semitism is a serious threat to local jews." trust me when i tell you we understand self-interest.

the reaction to Mamdani's campaign is clear proof that centrism is a reactionary ideology, and has nothing to do with a pragmatic desire to win.

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

One of my favorite tweets of all time was when "ope" became an internet craze there was this person who thought he was clever by doing a "midwest eminem be like ope there goes gravity" not understanding that those were in fact the lyrics and eminem is from the midwest

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

ICE is composed entirely of dudes too unstable to get hired by mall security

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

Dear god let this man cook.

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

#ArtBoost today is for DJ Washington (I can't find him on BSky), palaeoartist and conservation biology graduate based in the US, producing striking, bold, sometimes stylized art of ancient animals. It sure would be incredible if a book called MESOZOIC ART II included a section of his art, right?

donald trump and the entire rights reaction to this moment has shown they were unprepared for any of the backlash they’re receiving and that’s why it has to be kept up

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

the most appalling part of this political era is the physical harm they are inflicting on innocent people but secondary to that i find the constant smug lectures from this country's biggest collection of hypocrites, scammers, perverts, pedophiles, and overall bozos very distasteful

American exceptionalism is electing a pariah government so repugnant that it tanks the electoral prospects of aligned right wing governments across the entire anglosphere

I see a lot of you are worried about your stocks so I’m glad I invested all my money in the one asset that will NEVER decline in value: tulips

goldman sachs execs showing up to luigi mangione's cell like nick fury recruiting an avenger

"Vanilla is in vanilla ice cream and what else?" is such a perfect encapsulation of the surly self-confidence of the people who are ripping the wires out of our government and our economy.

YOU GUYS.

Video in question. Let's make it viral again.

he wants to abolish the income tax and fund the government almost entirely through tariffs, thereby delivering the most regressive bonanza to the rich in the history of American taxation. He has said this many many times. He said it *at the announcement* and yet pieces like this just ignore it.

so basically the "keep politics out of gaming" crowd have now destroyed gaming with politics

it just keeps getting better: - purposefully announced after market close - futures market drops instantly - greek letters that do 4*1/4 to make it look more complex - anger China by accidentally calling Taiwan a country - using an LLM to come up with the strategy - using TLDs instead of countries

This looks like a "win probability" graph from a game where a team builds a huge lead then blows it in the last few seconds

if there's one thing Evangelical Christians know it's that having the state execute a beloved dissident always stops that dissident's message from spreading so yeah seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione seems smart

having worked a few ill-advised all-nighters, i can recognize this as the moment when you start magically feeling FUCKING GREAT and also the point at which you absolutely should not be allowed to make any important decisions

on a personal note, the calculus of "stay where my home, family, and friends are through the american fascist century of humiliation and hope to remain relatively unscathed" vs "uproot entire life to emigrate Somewhere in the hopes that maybe in the long run it's the better call" is not fun nor easy

society erred when we removed the computer from its honored place in the home and ushered it into every part of our profane world. we must rebuild the temple of the Computer Room

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Perhaps the Gamers are alright

Articles about the Holocaust, September 11, cancer awareness, sexual assault and suicide prevention are among the tens of thousands either removed or flagged for removal from Pentagon websites to comply with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s order to scrub “diversity” content from its platforms.

It really shouldn’t be this way but I think it’s very important people hear about what’s going on from places that conservatives haven’t been psychologically trained to hate and immediately disregard for the last 20 years. That means sports, comedy, all that stuff. Gotta break through the wall.

One problem with the idea of reserving due process for law-abiding people is that due process is how we figure out which people are law-abiding.

Frodo don’t destroy the ring, you’ll just be playing into their hands by reacting at all imho

guys love to say “dude my balatro run last night was insane” then show you a screenshot like this
