youtube.com/shorts/7ChjK... American Conservatives REALLY love weaponizing alarmism over immigration into America by Brown people for political gain. But, they REALLY don’t want to talk about US citizens emigrating to other countries because of our unaffordable everything.

youtube.com/shorts/NOpkr... ICYMI the FBI is now so unserious a law enforcement agency that it is actively dangerous to the rule of law. But , it was never much better than it is now.

🚨BREAKING: More than 300,000 Missourians have signed a petition demanding that the gerrymander be put to a statewide referendum, advocacy organization People Not Politicians announced as it delivered those signatures to the state government Tuesday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"It's Zelenskyy's fault. He's just not being realistic."🙄 Trump is mad because Ukraine won't sacrifice itself so that Trump has bragging rights and can win a prize.

ICYMI WHEN bird flu breaks the species barrier, it will make the COVID-19 pandemic look tame by comparison. The death toll from even the weakest version of the virus will be catastrophic. IF it hits the world at full strength, it will be apocalyptic. Literally civilization ending.

youtube.com/watch?v=TzQ2... How to start a religious or political cult for profit and power. The key is to stop your followers from thinking for themselves and asking bothersome questions.

youtube.com/watch?v=Swzb... The bizarre, highly embarrassing and silly story of how Macedonia became the most universally hated country in the Balkans,first by Greece, then by every country in the region.

youtube.com/watch?v=w2-W... How New York City fell under the control of Boss Tweed, a politician so corrupt and willing to use violence, including assassination, that he most resembled the Mafia dons who came to power later in the 20th century

JFC. Garbage like this makes me want to cancel my sub all over again.

And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.

Britain’s overly entitled wealthy White Male nominally heterosexual elites are a whole other level of problematic.

Xi Xinping is a lot of despicable things, a stupid person is not among them. Decades of rising up through the incredibly perilous political system of the CCP has given him very sharp survival instincts and the ability to spot an easy mark.

Carl Jung isn't exactly LESS full of shit than Freud, but he's admittedly full of shit in a much more entertaining way. "Guy who's basically a practising wizard but gets super annoyed if you point that out and loudly insists he's a Man of Science" is a type of guy you don't see much of these days.

Presumably, Reform will claim this was all years ago, and while he's completely innocent, "everyone" had massive presidential style election campaigns in Clacton back in the long distant er summer of 2024 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Unlike a good number of nostalgic cartoon franchises from the 80s, He-Man reboots have failed to find enough of an audience to last. It’s a little odd how this universe only worked once and gets so much love despite the TERRIBLE Funimation animation of the original series.

My dream is to walk into a store where there's a cat and they're like "Hey human, let me show you around." 📸 weiwei.kwan.7

I keep vaguely hoping ridiculous stories like this cannot possibly be true, but they always are. There really is no bottom to the cringey populist BS that Trump will resort to distract from his endless scandals and policy failures.

youtube.com/watch?v=uw3L... Americans do yard sales. Brits do car boot sales. Both are equally sad.

So when the #AmericanGestapo says their arrests involve people committing crimes, they are technically correct. But the criminals are in ICE, not Home Depot parking lots or street taco stands.

youtube.com/watch?v=ygMU... Silicon Valley Tech Bros keep trying to prevent good government funded public transportation. To be clear, public buses are NOT the best solution. But, DRT buses are even worse.

Putin has no interest in ending the war. His plan is to end Ukraine.

I had to rewind Peter Ellenshaw’s matte painting perfection in THE THIRD MAN ON THE MOUNTAIN (1959) a few times to fully appreciate it.

The monopolies of the Gilded Age led Congress to establish the FTC as an independent agency. Its independence is meant to insulate it from political pressure so it can check corporate power and protect the American people. Trump wanting to upend this is very telling.

FLASHBACK: We asked ex ag commish Charlie Hatcher if he anticipated another Trump farmer bailout because of his tariffs, which impact Tennessee more than most. It was obvious. But he scratched his head, insisted farmers were “optimistic” Now he’s running for Congress 🤷🏼

If you think Paramount is just trying to buy Warner Brothers so Ellison can stop CNN from criticizing Trump… you’re right! www.wsj.com/business/med...

I hate that there’s days when you can’t trust @chicagocta.bsky.social, you can’t trust CDOT to plow the bike lanes, and getting around Chicago without a car is a frustrating mess.
