I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

It’s fascinating to see how some judges are responding to governance by fash posting with some posting of their own

Kinda sucks how one day you’ll post stuff like “does the Grinch use the toilet?” and then the next it has to be “I reject those who worship death”

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

any discussion of city transit improvement online ever

To be clear, while Trump's HUD is telling a racist lie when they blame the housing shortage in CA and NY on immigrants, what they're saying is not all that different from the people who complain about transplants or who say California is full.

The most important feature of GHPC is that in sustained engagements, your crew’s voiceovers get increasingly panicked as you take damage/other tanks target you

the idea that a handful of conservative legal scholars have an understanding that should supersede a settlement affirmed my generations of american is astoundingly arrogant, and the idea that trump — or any president — can unilaterally overturn that settlement is just despotism

don't show me a major league pitcher named klein in front of a christmas tree i need to believe

introduced a new character in my comic today named Car Maiden who is an insane woman in a wedding dress that drunk-drives an indestructible 1960 Chrysler New Yorker convertible www.patreon.com/c/merrittk

the thing i don't get about this is that sure, you're some groyper who thinks the posters look cool. but, like, you must know that the nazis lost, and they didn't just lose, they lost to the people they *deemed inferior*: a polyglot nation of shopkeepers on one front & russian peasants on the other

I think the Jurassic Park/World movies would benefit in dramatic terms from treating dinosaurs and other ancient reptiles less like monsters and more like animals.

the one thing we don't want to turn this discourse into is an attack on smart, funny guys who were kinda awkward and lost their virginity late because the prospect of revealing themselves and facing rejection was terrifying even if it worked out in the end and they have been good on podcasts

showing off my free concentration camp merch. My soul is just out of frame, intact and not bound by dark blood rites to the eternal service of Moloch the Devourer

how many young families should charlottesville turn away so that an 80 year old millionaire can preserve their peace and quiet? how many businesses should close and how many vacant storefronts should we have so that we can remain a quaint little college town?

a real testament to how little juice the vice president has in the white house that he is wasting time shitposting on a niche social media website

"For the child born this summer in Texas, whose parents receive no documents, whose name never appears in any system, and who grows up asking why she can’t go on field trips, apply for scholarships, or open a bank account, the consequences are not legal theory. They are her life."

this 48-second video of a protest in ontario, california is top-tier storytelling 🤌🏽🤌🏽

Okay so imagine this, you have no opinions, you have no skills, you have no wants or desires, you are a smooth orb of nothing and our subscription service helps make sure you still cast a shadow that resembles a human being. Sounds sick right?

The United States backing Hitler in Practice:

The reason the conservative intelligentsia has spent decades pretending that societal shifts in cultural attitudes are the same as state coercion is to justify the use of state coercion against the elements of society they disapprove of.

Only dating advice i can offer is that that old carbon in solution in river water is absorbed by fish and then enters the bones of people who eat a lot of fish. Radiocarbon dates measured on the bones of these humans might come out too old, and a lot of Soviet era finds have never been calibrated

EXCLUSIVE: A Hitler-quoting ‘Aryan’ has the attention of JD Vance and Elon Musk—who is @captivedreamer7? My latest with @kylebazgo.bsky.social for @dailydot.com identifies the likely operator of the anonymous racist account as Geoffrey Martin, a Canadian. www.dailydot.com/debug/captiv...

I am deeply concerned that the DOGE website says a Social Security Office in Carlsbad, CA has been closed. Trying to get confirmation. Hands off Social Security, Elon Musk!

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

can i just say that mike lee is one of the biggest frauds in congress? perfect example of a “constitutional conservative” who is just a bootlicker looking for a boot

DEI is when a woman or non-white person who is qualified for a job receives that job. The meritocracy is when a 19 year old gets to run the United States government because he posted the dankest memes

“Older than the trees” conifers emerged around 300mya “Younger than the mountains” Blue ridge mountains began forming around 1 billion years ago “Life is old there” John Denver is singing about trilobites

This is the stuff I'm a doomer about. Real journalism takes time - even a quick, original 700-word story requires a lot of legwork, relationships, etc. It can never compete with instant slop, or accounts that just plagiarize news for free with more sensationalistic (and wrong) framing.

the clear sign that they just don’t see these kids as real people is the endless concern over hypotheticals and the indifference to the reality that actual children are more likely to kill themselves because of these bans

Why It Would Be Bad If There Was A Place You Could Have A Conversation Without Being Called A Slur

An insult to everyone the Nazis killed, both the victims of the Shoah and those who died in battle across Europe and Asia. She should never be allowed to show her face in public again after this.

why do I keep gaining followers? did I get added to a list somewhere

trump will be the next reagan in the sense that in 30 years every time you notice some horrible defect in society you'll do some quick research and trace it back to trump

Thinking about my grandfather who excused himself from the dinner table every night the last few years of his life with the line “well, time to put on the news and see if Reagan died”. That’s the level of thinking about Trump I’d like to achieve

I am seeing more and more opinions bubbling up about how throwing trans people to the wolves would be a winning strategy for Democrats, and I just want to quickly say: Fuck off with that absolute dog shit.

started/going

Lotta people are convinced that 1) Biden is a Reaganite neoliberal. 2) anything the government does is a priori inefficient and incompetently executed.

kids: this is a powerful artifact of ancient technology
