The Swiss got rock’n’roll after it had been filtered through the rest of Europe so its version was brilliant, exaggerated and wrong. A sincere pastiche of the original.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal. This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

So many people told me this wasn’t possible, no way. Stop being silly, little girl. This is radical “Personhood,” which Mississippi voters defeated in 2011.

Oh.👀 The RNC is reportedly sending "menacing texts" to voters in Missouri, ordering them to retract their signatures from a ballot petition to suspend Republicans' recently passed Congressional gerrymander that deletes a Democratic seat in Kansas City. www.rawstory.com/missouri-ger...

THESE COLORS DON'T RUN

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

Weird how many racists like to self-identify themselves as racists.

Chicago baby

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

Holy shit. They're really doing it. They're doing "actually pedophilia is good now." The debasement of the American Right is complete.

Suddenly remembered the desperate love I used to feel for Saturday morning cartoons. The possibility of watching cartoons at literally any time of day is arguably better, but it does not compare to that hammer blow of a new Land of the Lost when no one else in the house is awake.

When Trump says, “Russia, Russia, Russia” is he making Brady Bunch reference?

October 2024

The "days without anti-choice violence" sign always reads "0".

I forgot to buy eggnog. How will I shorten my life now?

This is basically the classic Onion article “Why do these homosexuals…” in essay form.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Every once in a while, I will see a guy who looks distinctive. Then I will see a bunch of guys who look like that in the months that follow, and I am like "new kind of guy dropped".

Waterloo, Stalingrad, Chicago.

I knew those cowards would leave after the first cold day here

Oh and when in doubt, record. Pritzker pushed this and I thought wtf just RECORD? What do I know. It's powerful. There's a lot of footage of these pricks just saying fuck it and giving up under pressure, and the videos help a lot in many ways

I have not seen it in awhile, so I put Hamilton on the TV while I am powering thru doing some thumbnails. It is such a roller coaster when you think Burr is a better person, and that he had the better political ideas, cause they really do make Hamilton likable.

Showed up at the Commanders/Lions game and they booed his pedo ass right out of the building. I can't say I've ever seen that go down with a sitting president before. Goddam this motherfucker sucks

I am starting to think that tri-corner hats are never going to come back into fashion.

In the 90s, I bought the Adobe Suite. It was expensive, and I kept up with the upgrades. It was stupid, because they made it a stupid thing to have done. It was a waste to have given them my money. It was a lot of money, and I have nothing to show for it. They broke a deal that was more than implied

happening now: community members are gathering at the chicago fbi field office to demand ice and border patrol agents leave the city and stop terrorizing residents. yesterday, the fbi and other feds helped greg bovino and a caravan of border patrol agents ravage little village and cicero.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

Elon Musk is so rich that he can create an insensate simulacra of a woman that is almost sort of believable when it declares that it loves him. A feat no one has been able to manage here in meatspace

We have literally all told everyone for literal centuries that the way you make it is DON'T QUIT. Nobody is gatekeeping. You're quitting all by yourself.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

When the Democrats lose an election, they debate endlessly how they can appeal to more voters. When Republicans lose an election, they think of ways to keep more people from voting.

Virginia Republicans have learned the difference between having a one-mile flood barrier that's 20 feet high and a ten-mile flood barrier that's 2 feet high. But while you celebrate, don't forget that their reaction won't be "We need to change" but "This is why we gotta stop having real elections."

Big tech continues to demonstrate its’ alignment with fascists. BAN FACIAL RECOGNITION

It took the ADL like four days to respond to Nick Fuentes breaking into the mainstream last week

You might think you’re ready for this needle drop at the Cuomo watch party. I promise you: you are not.

Quit your job @schumer.senate.gov.

Thing I love is that Cuomo was out of the game. He was never going to be rehabilitated, but he had some minor status. Now he is utterly humiliated. A joke forever. His stupid face mugging on endorsements from Trump and Miller. The dummy. All that is left is to move to Florida and run out the clock

Does anyone know what channel this will be on?

Of course, this is precisely why we expect law enforcement to wear badges and uniforms and show identification. Anyone could have foreseen (and many of us did) that this would be a serious side-effect of ICE's insistence on behaving like unaccountable thugs.

It’s actually impressive how much mileage Republicans have gotten out of “the Democrats are actually responsible for the shutdown because they have to vote with us according to an arbitrary rule we can ignore at any time and in fact literally already did just a few weeks ago”

lol at Target pretending the boycott has nothing to do with it. Whatever. Keep making believe Black and anti-racist dollars don't exist. Looks like it's going great so far.

Yesterday I got Eggnog. Today I have heartburn. Now I am trying to use Eggnog to cure the heartburn. Am I a doctor?

I think Sean Gunn and Ted Raimi should be in a movie together

All of these people suffer from “not getting the shit kicked out of them constantly” disease

A reminder that Greg Bovino has videographers from DHS's Office of Public Affairs following him around Chicagoland, with the purpose of creating propaganda.

It’s okay to be glad that restaurants are doing stuff like this AND absolutely furious about the utter failure of the United States government.
