This season’s writers are pretty heavy handed with the metaphors. #cop28 #climatecrisis

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

(living in a country where the most successful people are obscenely rich and shameless perverts and psychopaths) Time to teach my children to be honest and study hard in school

First they came for Tylenol and I did not speak up because I had no inflammation

It never used to be dark by 5pm. They're doing this to demoralize you

their legal argument can be summarized thusly: “a bloo bloo bloo” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Millennial evangelicals are wild because they watched The Simpsons as a child and were like "Damn, Helen Lovejoy is COOL."

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage. The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn. No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

I’d like to see ol’ Donnie Trump wiggle his way out of this one ….

we don’t give a fuck about your imaginary friend

I think a good sign off for work emails instead of “best regards” is “we all float down here,” help me make this a thing.

The largest mass protests by number of participants in US history happened yesterday and the only mention on the front page of the NYT is Jamelle Bouie's opinion column: no diner-diving for sentiments of the unheard masses, no coverage of the Trump video, no sense for what it says about the moment.

The Fred Rogers and Bill Maher principles, respectively

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970 The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23 They constantly let America down

What a perfect formulation: “This is, in many ways, the dynamic that defines reactionary centrism: the right must be understood, but never blamed. The left can be blamed, but need not be understood.” www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/709...

Yesterday, millions marched against fascism. Now our elected leaders need to take action to confront Trump’s assault on Democratic cities and states. In The Guardian today, I outline a strategy: “fiscal disobedience” as one part of an “anti-fascist federalism.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s going to take ages to pay all these people

thank god their expert consultants put a stop to that, right?

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

I swear this was @theonion.com article a couple of weeks ago

oh god the 2028 democratic candidate Is going to be campaigning with mtg aren they? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Some people have been saying.

lol “find your own instead of stealing” in defense of columbus day

love how anytime I try to talk current events with a normie I come off like this

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

"Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours. 'I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a warrant and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.'"

This final post from Kaleb Horton is very beautiful and hits hard. This is just so sad. RIP.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

They're openly saying they want to sacrifice LGBTQ people and the planet to appease fascists. This is not only a losing strategy, this is morally repugnant. Every single one of these people should be ashamed, but we know they won't because they are amoral sociopaths.

Biggest “mods?” energy ever

feeling extremely vindicate about my longstanding belief that coldplay sucks

Social media in general.

Once again, it’s essential to understand that these top media outlets are political actors with an agenda to delegitimate the left and prop up and protect the right.

You can always count on Gavin Newsom to have a few good days before tripping on his own dick for no other reason other than having terrible, terrible political instincts.

The future is uncertain and the end is always near.

Scratch a liberal…

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Obviously not. This ruins the magick enchantment. Ideally, all important documents should be signed in blood by a quill crafted under a full moon by a temple priest from the feather of a pedigreed goose. A Sharpie is also acceptable.
