Wait, that can’t be, they’ve spent their anti-trans attacks talking about how they’re deeply committed to protecting women.

I’ve said this before but if you went back in time and told the Founders that the Supreme Court had become an all-powerful Catholic tribunal they’d have burned everything down and moved back to England

Recommended reading: Rudolph Herzog's book about humor — what jokes were allowed, what jokes weren't, what jokes could get you imprisoned, what jokes could get you shot — during the Third Reich. It's sobering reading right now, as Trump attacks comedians, late night talk show hosts, and actors.

Night Court made getting arrested at night seem fun as hell

A political party that was serious about defeating fascism, strengthening real democracy, pursuing justice and promoting the common welfare could do a whole host of effective things before sending us each 7000 texts a day asking for more money. But that’s what they think their job is!

Today's internal dialogue: "I really didn't like the way that person snottily reminded me that the parking lot for my neighborhood is going to be closed for the artist's market." "I'm sure they understood when you cheerfully managed to thank them and complain."

Literally just being Muslim is some kind of controversial political statement to US media people

This is great, so glad this is happening. news.artnet.com/art-world/ci...

The point of funding deals is to secure money that helps people. If the administration plans to just illegally ignore any deal you make with them, what’s the point of making a deal? Don’t take it from me, take it from,,,,, Steve Womack, a senior GOP appropriator.

Our leaders are muppets who think like babies. Muppet babies, if you will.

Full video since YouTube removed it

It's ok to characterize a nihilistic libertarianish 4chan rape joke guy as right wing, actually

A new episode of the Medici Podcast! Ferdinando II had high hopes that marrying his introverted, overly devout son to a French princess would both loosen his son up and save the dynasty from extinction. Things wouldn’t turn out quite like he wanted. medicipodcast.com/2025/09/25/e...

Jesus. Christ.

If ever there were a time for civil society leaders to rethink their instincts to submit to Trump's shakedowns, now would be a good time. Now being a week in which Trump ordered enemies indicted, set law enforcement on liberal groups, turned Tik Tok over to MAGA cronies, threatened Disney...

RIP to my free time when EUROPA UNIVERSALIS V finally comes out.

I love everything about this

Good to see my "disliking most modern art is not inherently a reactionary position, because much modern art and its reception is driven by elitism and classism" take is popular here on Bluesky.

I think all the tsk tsk you're kicking people out of the big tent stuff is easily responded to by pointing out that the UK is being governed by accommodating centrists and not only are their policies terrible but also everyone hates them

My personal crackpot theory is that a lot of the most alienated channers are realizing that fascism isn't solving their problems but not realizing that wokeness didn't cause them, leaving them on an island where they see literally everyone as their enemy

All my best to this FEMA employee, and may they succeed in their mission:

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

gotta remember that no one likes this shit

I actually think it's off base for the descriptor of these angry young white men who think violence is cool and/or funny to be "non-political." They are making rape jokes and saying racist things and wanting to sow chaos. That's literally the Alex Jones, Steve Bannon playbook.

Good morning ppl! It’s now being reported that the #Autism presser yesterday was meant to be “measured & nuanced”, not the shit show it was. I think it went amazing and it showed exactly how fucking dumb they are.

I said for years that the only way to permanently reduce migration to the United States was to destroy the vision that the world had of this country as the land of opportunity. That wasn't a goddam suggestion!

trumps administration is whining and begging everyone to stop comparing ICE to the gestapo meanwhile they act just like the gestapo and use social media to post aesthetic videos making fun of and demonizing immigrants

Finally, I've gotten to the point in the Medici Podcast where I can talk about the hyper-dysfunctional marriage between Marguerite-Louise d'Orleans and Grand Duke Cosimo III.

They've lost the 9yos

Recent events have me thinking about President Garfield's assassin Charles Guiteau and how he couldn't even get laid as a member of the free-love practicing Oneida cult, to the point his nickname became "Charles Getout."

Cool this is amazing the guy is FINALLY polling at net 1%, the most popular he’s ever been. 1%. Nobody cares about Charlie Kirk. Trump certainly doesn’t.

Neurodivergent folks should all be paid a stipend to do things we like to do, and the world would end up benefiting from it.

Me, realizing they didn't get raptured away:

oh look it’s a helpful list of all the Nexstar and Sinclair ABC stations that I guess one could call if they wanted to complain about them not airing Jimmy Kimmel tonight

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

I hate to say I told you so but… www.ynetnews.com/article/sjje...

I know I keep beating this drum, but even among his biggest critics, a big part of the appeal of “Trump is a secret genius” is that the far worse alternative is that the United States elected an idiot.

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

Now seems like a fun time to remind everyone that GWAR did an NPR Tiny Desk concert

the only news that matters about autism is how good it made me at fuckin

Conservatives whipped themselves into a performative frenzy for days and days and all their vitriol and collected efforts managed to do was give a TV show host a week off. Incredible L.

Charlie Kirk glazefest mogged effortlessly by a Tsunomaki Watame superchat reading stream.

Oxford has been around since 1096. Imagine tossing almost a thousand years of academic reputation into the garbage, setting it on fire, and then pissing it out over a useless fucking plagiarism machine what loses billions of dollars a year telling people to kill themselves.

I'm really sorry, but Erika Kirk and most of the female anchors in FOX News all have a look that I can only describe as "The villain in the porn parody of a blockbuster movie."

Incredible image. Also incredible that the vast majority of white Christians in this country align with the men in camo.

We're at the point where the Trump does something worse than Watergate daily, often multiple times a day. And none of it makes news; it's just normal now.

Clothing store, Upper West Side.

The only thing Charlie Kirk had in common with Jesus is that Christians get mad when you quote him to them.

My favorite Christopher Walken performance remains Detective Magnotta from the FMV sci-fi/horror adventure game RIPPER (1998). It deserves a dozen retrospective Oscars. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeI-...
