According to Trump, if you are in excruciating pain during pregnancy, tough it out and don't take Tylenol, but if an escalator stops working, you should turn it into an international incident and angrily demand vengeance.

forgive me Father

It is not a coincidence that most of the videos you see of ICE agents using excessive force seem to feature unarmed women half their size. 🙃

The superdole was a wild success that the left and populists pretend never happened and no one gave any political credit for and really should have been an early warning sign that deliverism would fail.

So the poverty rate was lower during a period of the pandemic when the economy was in fact not great. And it's because the government showed they actually could provide a generous safety net. The Manchin and the GOP killed it. Like there is a great leftwing story here that Jacobin just misses.

“My ‘The 90s in Palm Beach were a different time!’ t-shirt is raising a lot of questions about my extensive, decades-long relationship with a prolific pedophile and sex-trafficker who considered me his best friend. But these questions should have already been answered by my shirt!”

I watch a handful of CFL games every summer. The differences from American football are delightful. If the Canadian game becomes Americanized, it just becomes another third-rate league, and I'd have zero interest then. Keep the rouge!

the consistent through line of jd vance’s entire life on this earth is that he holds every single person he has ever met in abject contempt and is incapable of hiding it, even from his wife and children, whom he also holds in contempt

Welp.

This is a very good analysis. One big question is whether the "material benefits" electoral strategy might regain efficacy without Trump on the ballot. That, in turn, begs the question of whether Trump's disruptive effect has permanently changed power structures in America. Does it outlast him?

Bob Seger or John Prine or Gram Parsons or Dire Straits

Always looking for an opportunity to share this gem.

IT IS TIME.

Milwaukee, 58 years ago today “Nazis march along 16th street at Forest Home.” @MilwaukeePubLib It’s worth noting these Nazis felt comfortable openly marching on the streets in Milwaukee only 22 years after a war in which 400,000+ Americans died to defeat Nazi Germany.

There are dozens of us. Dozens!

They couldn't find a way to blame trans people for autism, so they went with the old stalwart: blaming women.

It really is like Nixon live blogging Watergate and the journalism establishment saying eh, what can you do

found this on FB marketplace & when i find something weird i usually try to say something funny but i got nothing

Don’t forget to leave milk and cookies out for Earth, Wind & Fire tonight

Milwaukee has undertaken a bunch of "traffic-calming" measures like speed bumps and bumpouts to help curb aggressive driver. And guess what? It's working. www.jsonline.com/story/money/...

I knew I had seen this picture before

I'm not sure about this branding but I'm not the billionaire business genius

It makes sense why Belichick likes Trump so much because he’s essentially living the Trump lifestyle but made the bad decision to do it in a profession where there are actually objective ways to measure how bad you are at your job

Damnit, I keep forgetting to get rich.

Stomping back in here briefly and grumpily one last time to leave you all with this: Social media succeeds and profits by convincing all of us that we must make ourselves into individual cults of personality instead of building and contributing to communities. It’s time to stop playing along.

Talking about the abstract need to reassure heartland swing voters by reviving the anti-abortion wing of the Democratic Party is also just one more case of how the Sensible Liberal bloc is organized around pretending the last ten years didn't happen—it's a fantasy about doing pre-Dobbs politics

Everyone, listen to Diane. She's a witch and she'll put a hex on you if you let Bluesky become a cesspool.

Would you guys still respect me if I didn’t sit in a throne of skulls

Crucially, Mark Zuckerberg and his ilk trained those pigeons over the course of the last 15 years or so. and it is very hard to un-train a pigeon who has grown accustomed to getting some bread when he pecks a big red button labeled “midwit takes.”

Another good response: "I don't care and neither should you. Stop talking about dicks and ask me about things that matter."

Like any good Democrat pundit, willing to sacrifice the flyover areas of the country for the greater good. Helps when they've never lived anywhere but dark blue states.

What kind of asshole holds a microphone while sitting down to talk to people at the dinner table?

Nate Silver is the kid who spent the whole lunch hour trying to decide which table he was cool enough to sit at. Someone needs to tell him that he's 47 years old. Just sit down and enjoy your food. No one else cares anymore.

This looks like the cast of a kids' movie where a cat and a dog get turned into people.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

HANK: "Hwut the heck is a groyper?" PEGGY: "It's a fish, Hank."

One underdiscussed part of the shutdown fight is that Trump has created an impression that he controls the whole government, so if it shuts down and he has to blame Democrats for not giving him money he needs, it pops that entire aura. If the dictator can't run things people will blame the dictator.

Very much the opposite of politics on real Earth.

In an earlier era, the pope would have had this heretic burned at the stake. (Please note that this is a comment about history and NOT a call to violence.)

And feed-grade soy is also used to make cooking oil. Good thing that no one in the Trump admin has any weird unscientific crusade against seed oils or anything.

Vaccines are truly one of the most incredible things in all of human history. We founds ways to literally defeat communicable deadly diseases at almost no cost and at no harm to ourselves. And someone who had literal brain worms is working to undermine that and get people killed.

If I did a “how to spot, limit, and avoid the long-term effects of propaganda” overview, would anyone be interested? Serious question — it can hurt you even if you know it’s lies. I have tactics and strategies gleaned from my comms work and studying how all this machinery works on our nervous system
