Poem in the Shape of the Poet Beating Henry Kissinger to Death with Their Bare Hands by Felix

brief reminder from one of his begrudging constituents: thomas massie is meeting an extraordinarily low bar here, but he is not your friend and you shouldn't expect much more than this from him in terms of "positions that are not morally reprehensible on their face"

Funny Games. Single most uncomfortable movie I have ever watched, bar none, it's not close. I get the point, the point is made, I have thought all my thoughts on the subject, I'm glad it was made, and I never want to see it again.

this game is severely underappreciated - if you like mecha or rhythm games (even passively. or you're like, curious), pick it up. actually just pick it up, you'll probably enjoy it

one of the lesser-mentioned but still deeply annoying things about the whole epstein fiasco is that anytime you mention a true fact that he actually, verifiably did, you sound like your next sentence is going to be spouting off about how chemtrail vaccines did 9/11

Marimar Martinez, shot 5 times by Border Patrol in Chicago, speaks out after Renee Good, Alex Pretti deaths 'I am their voice' NEW w/ @adrianacardmag.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

US citizen volunteers who are putting themselves out there as observers need to be aware that ICE does have statutory authority to arrest anyone for any federal crime if they witness you doing it. They also believe that 18 USC 111 makes it a crime to look at them funny, so you can do the math there

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE Graphic by Mark Boswell/The Minnesota Star Tribune

i do not care one bit if this is true i desperately want to watch a(n extremely deserving of a moral reckoning) member of the United States House of Representatives have to put out a statement insisting that she does not and has never sold shitty ditch weed

Abolish ICE is the centrist position.

ICE executed Alex Pretti. Anything else you’re told is a lie.

people gotta chill out about making normative vs. descriptive claims. it’s tedious to have to specify “of course, I do NOT support fire” if you’re talking about a house burning down.

In short, fuck this Nazi administration, fuck that loathsome Gestapo trash Tom Homan, and fuck the slobbering Nazi losers who support them.

When they announce the indictment Minnesota authorities owe it to the public to be very clear that just because the facts are on their side here the law was intentionally designed not to be. Even most very intelligent people don't know what it means to have to apply a high legal standard

"blue states should withhold federal taxes" 1. that's not how taxes work 2. many, many of us in red states are not right-wing 3. "redness" is not frozen in time 4. "individuals should suffer for the crimes of the powerful" is cruelty unbecoming of so-called progressives tl;dr kindly shut up

Again, "illegal" does not mean "impossible" and the sooner we all get that through our heads, the better. I'm still seeing way too many people reacting to ICE by saying "how can they do that?"

ICE agent kills woman, DHS tells obvious, insane lies about it: defector.com/ice-agent-ki...

in these moments, in my view, it is a political and spiritual DUTY for my outrage and anger to be as fresh as if I'd never heard how they shot Fred Hampton in his bed. As fresh as if I didn't know Bobby Hutton was surrendering when they shot him. 1/2

i propose we start calling convection ovens jumbo air fryers. just for fun. just to incite a little chaos

It is not that hard to cook up violations of US law against corrupt dictators we don't like and get them past a grand jury. A federal indictment is nowhere close to enough to justify a US military invasion and orchestrated regime change, and we all need to say that together or it will be

this isn't actually complicated at all. going into another country and kidnapping their leader is rancid imperialism and it's wrong without qualification. what you think of Maduro does not enter into it.

Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.

Trump could drop a nuke on a major city and we'd be reading tut-tuts about how this sets a "dangerous precedent"

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Days after his third dementia screening in six months the president of the United States, who is an open pedophile, abducts a foreign head of state

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

every single one of them should be removed bodily from office and dragged to The Hague for this

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts. It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long. www.filemail.com/d/wkcdttnacp...

if they had just shown it on 60 Minutes nobody would have seen it

i'm still confused about how antisocial all the qrts on the op were. a perplexing number of insinuations along the lines of "i'm tired after work, therefore the concept of having friends and the existence of online multiplayer anything ever is the disease at the core of the human psyche"

my dog sometimes climbs onto our bed and flops around yelping like he's hurt, and we asked the vet if it was anything to be concerned about he was diagnosed with being a husky mix

Stealworkers

this website is a multiplayer dick-waving contest. too many of y'all are acting like socializing is designed to inconvenience you personally

My love for em dashes is as old as the hills and as mighty as my inability to make a transition between thoughts literally any other way and I will be damned if I let the clankers take that from me

blursed, tbh. this is really well done and i'm here for it

i have written multiple papers on the subject of leavening and i was still today years old when i discovered baker's ammonia was originally derived from deer antlers

i learned about this a while back and it's been rotting in my brain ever since. such a disservice to kids. it's not that they don't like reading on its own merits; it's that the way they were taught to read makes the cognitive load way higher than it ever needed to be

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

this has incredible "sending angry emails from my toilet" energy

the boss saying "our employees were mean to me, the smol bean head of human resources" is unfortunately a tale as old as time, and i hope condé nast eats shit for it

i'm not a primitivist by any stretch, but a part of me does yearn for the simplicity of a world where you could win a genre-defining argument by plucking a chicken

"I wish him the best in private life and may tonight be the last time I utter his name" is both unassailable tact and an absolute thrashing for a man with a Tantalus-grade thirst for attention
