Well, what a wild ride this has been

Imagine serving as a Marine and then being injured at home, on purpose, by a sitting Senator while exercising your constitutionally-protected rights.

this is my good friend’s brother and i saw him do this show almost a year ago now. it is very very funny and i think you’ll enjoy it

if i had three wishes i’d probably blow them all on quaaludes

One of my favorite parts of last night’s election results. The only Democratic talking point should be: we don’t abandon anyone.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE. Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Being a Normative Man seems 🔥 rn Get up. Slather on beef tallow balm. Eat Man Cereal. Microbet. Nugenix w raw milk. Eat ungodly amount of liver. Listen to podcast. Bump American Badass in Cybertruck. Record podcast. Berate yourself for gooning. More liver. Watch Power Slap. Sleep. But w one eye open

“We thought we were living in a politically neutral slave state.”

i keep having the thought “well when the Second Coming doesn’t happen and they realize they were wrong…” and then i remember every Doomsday Cult that ever existed and i also remember who these guys are

good to know that if social media and the minions existed in the 1940s, there would be IG reels of concentration camps and the comments would contain gifs of crying minions

Fun fact: making thermonuclear bombs requires making an aerogel the military named FOGBANK In 2000, they realized they'd forgotten how to make it, the whole process was all classified to hell and lost. They had to reverse engineer it to refurbish the aging nukes. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogbank

We have a literal Crusader running the military

she is excited for spring!!!!

For the first time ever, workers at a Home Depot company have unionized. Drivers who deliver building materials for Home Depot’s Temco subsidiary have voted to join the Teamsters. They did so despite a vicious anti-union campaign from Home Depot and Temco. atlantaciviccircle.org/2026/02/25/t...

What if there was a mindful way to steal people’s art, pollute Black neighborhoods, and raise everyone’s electric bill?

The key to getting mainstream media on board with an illegal war is making them feel like an important part of it.

They're not journalists. We need to start pushing back on that shit. Call these people PR professionals. They hate that. Trust me. Nothing cuts a "reporter" deeper than calling them Public Relations because they have such disdain for the people who work in that industry.

When you see the media spin this war, bear in mind that every single propaganda tactic has just been tested in spinning biden's genocide of Gaza. The exact same playbook, the exact same kinds of lies, the same inevitable violence against protesters: we literally *just* went through this.

The only acceptable dem platform is "we will do what we failed to do in both Reconstruction and Denazification, brutally punishing everyone responsible and draining the billionaires into destitution to fund the 50 year program of fixing what they destroyed", and dem leadership is incapable of this.

The irony of profit-mad corporations using slave labor to mine the earth for minerals that allow them to create and sell and reap profits from the devices that have given us all a window back into the violence of the mines where the children die.

Violence degrades meaning. Even when committed for a “reason,” what the perpetrator fails to see is that violence has its own momentum. For the recipient, the meaning has no weight. The only weight is the act itself. It leaves in its wake a vacuum that pulls everyone nearby limb from limb.

Is it possible we’re all trapped on the wheel of death and rebirth until none of us are?

i don't really think it's good for the human psyche to stare at gore all day, but there's another equally negative assumption where people assume explosions are somehow sterile, surgical, instant and merciful death. They are not for most. They are concussive dismemberments. They leave casualties

Well, it was either world war three or letting black people have jobs, so I see why people just went with the world war

This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

Last night I watched Akira and this morning I woke to the news of war. There must be a future we can choose for ourselves.

our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor

The rehabilitation of Max Landis is great news for all of us in the Bright fan community who never stopped believing in the limitless potential of the Bright universe

Memphis is being poisoned to power Grok regurgitating text statistically similar to the nazi propaganda it was trained on. Btw: he only applied for a permit for 15 gas turbines, and then put at least 24 on site. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

“see muted replies” is always a real “dead dove do not eat” situation for me

does anyone work in an industry that isn’t forcing them to use AI? i understand it’s been ass-jammed into everything to some degree, but as a writer/editor/video producer, it’s at least one meaty bullet in every job posting.

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

going on kalshi to bet on how long it will take me to get food poisoned due to government negligence but i’m interrupted mid-click by the pentagon’s AI model accidentally setting off all the nukes

Bear in mind, this guarantee of sledgehammering food safety is coming at the exact same time they have already shot food safety in the face via DOGE cuts and such. Like, last *April* they killed tracing salmonella levels in poultry. Last *August* the CDC stopped tracking 6 foodbourne pathogens.

Alt text: a graph showing a massive spike in anti-trans articles per 30 days. The x axis starts in 2012, most of the spike is just in the last decade The spike really starts to kick in around 2017 or so, corresponding almost *perfectly* with powerful sexual predators feeling threatened by MeToo.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

The thing about Bill Gates confessing, publicly, to pedophilia is that if a *normal* person did that, they'd experience immediate consequences. They'd be arrested immediately for doing so. It reminds me of how in the US self-defense is an affirmative defense: it is saying "I did it, but ___"

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

Under the guidelines durable medical equipment is not just things like prosthetics (which people should have!). It includes things like oxygen tanks, diabetes supplies, nebulizers, infusion pumps, wheelchairs, canes, hospital beds. This will IMMEDIATELY kill people. www.medicare.gov/coverage/dur...

used to volunteer for this refugee resettlement agency and they paired me with a Rohingya family--it's unbelievable what these people have to endure to come here. They don't even have the luxury of being second-class citizens under the military regime. But it was our government that killed Shah Alam

“Supporting the law” can’t be the foundation of a movement against targeting marginalized people as even lynchings were justified under the idea they were avenging lawbreaking and punishing lawbreakers.
