And sometimes when a person responds to your personal story with a personal story of their own they're not "making it about them," they're offering a similar lived experience as a way of communicating empathy and openness to your share.

If you wanna be radicalized against GenAI, try running an online business while these thieving shitbricks try to scrape your site at all hours of the day, creating a looping, endless DDoS. Fuck generative "AI." It's all slop built on wholesale theft.

🚨"My mom is being arrested for documenting what happened at City Church—this is wrong. This goes against her first amendment right. She is not a protester, she is not an activist, she is a mom working to provide for her children,"-daughter of arrested journalist @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social

Live your life in such a way that losing multiple sources of income because you’re a racist scumbag is not a required part of your obituary headline.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Oh my god it was right after the chorus dropped too

Dick Cheney going to hell and Zohran Mamdani getting elected on the same day are a win in my book.

@bflorry.sauna2000.com The Perkele Jaska hoodie worked with the Retro Jason Mask and Axe even better than I thought. Perfect color match, lol!

So long as you are the one person willing to sell out your credibility and defend a position 99% of experts oppose, nobody will check in on your prior statements to see if there are obvious contradictions with what you're writing today

Good example of how much of a hack Oren Cass is—on April 2nd he had *the White House* publish his praise for Trump's tariffs, and now suddenly those tariffs were "haphazard", created "heightened uncertainty", and have "needlessly antagonized Allies"

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

"Nobody will do that though." Oh I guess there's nothing to be done, then. Very convenient if what you'd like is to avoid having to do anything. I've noticed "we're cooked, it's over" is often the call of the person whose strategy is to hope they will not be in the oven.

"OK but what is your PLAN?" Bish I am sitting at the back of this plane. I'm just willing to point out that the driver is gargling everclear and flying directly at the ground while reading a book titled HOW TO FLY AIRPLANES INTO THE GROUND. What is MY plan? What is OUR plan? You're here too.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Watching this for my own #CivilGoreHMC9 now. Been on my list for a while. Is it weird that I understood everything uncle anwar said and where the writers heard those words? Immediately my mind of jam.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Suspending Erin Biba, a Jewish woman for this skeet is nasty work. Between this and intentionally misreading Link’s use of a meme as a threat, bsky mods are more than willing to ban based on the Spirit Of The Law for *some* posters but never Jesse Singal. bsky.app/profile/aman...

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

Saw True Food eatery advertising that they’re “officially seed oil free!”…so I went to shake shack who I trust but to lie to me about their food more than a place that jumps on to a fake health trend popular with the stupidest creatures yall allow in human society today.

One Battle After Another is the best movie of 2025 and the best movie about things in 2025 while not being set in 2025 so far. The marketing sucks because the people selling it are cowards.

"China did everything in its power to silence artist activism on Tibet, and Eisner’s capitulation sent a loud signal throughout the industry. The conversation on Tibet, once as high-profile as today’s on Gaza and Ukraine, has all but vanished." www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixWv...

Iger did the right thing with Kimmel and MAGA, because when Disney caves to autocrats, we have to live with it for a long time. My new piece for @thenation.com on Disney, Scorsese, "Kundun," Eisner, and the pop culture erasure of Tibet. www.thenation.com/article/cult...

Weebs, watching their access to lewd anime stuff vanishing before their eyes because they helped elect the guys who thought they were degenerates in to office because those same guys promised they'd "fight wokeness":

#nowwatching #mutantfam Watching Smile finally. And the first patients everyone dies manic episode is surprisingly close, without the out loud verbalizing, to a recurring manic thought pattern I’ve experienced every few years since I was 16. Better more poignant writing than I expected.

Should not have taken me this long to get to the Mahoning for a night. Such a great experience. #mahoning #thedriveinwillneverdie #campblood #mutantfam

James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.

when we talk about how the mainstream media is failing us, this is what we mean 👇

New York Times and Washington Post: Trump's Executive Order Reinstating Slavery Has Invigorated His Supporters. But Some Question Whether It's Legal.

“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

Putin smirking serenely while Trump whines about the “Russia, Russia, Russia hoax”

Donald Trump claims that Lizard People from the hollow center of the Earth are undermining our government. Democrats say that's not true. But most Americans would be scared of Lizard People if there were any. What is Democrats' plan for dealing with them? --Tomorrow in the @nytimes.com

Tie voting right to walkscore

this is just straight-up dictatorship and it’s repulsive and pathetic our newspapers and TV stations still won’t say so. there is no emergency. there is no precedent for this in US history. Trump is establishing military and paramilitary control of the capital

A guy whose fraudulent university was shut down is telling the Ivy League what to do. A guy whose businesses went bankrupt multiple times is telling the Fed what to do. A guy whose best friend was a child sex trafficker is telling the DOJ what to do. That it’s all the same guy is pretty wild.

It’s always about “protecting the children,” until they have the power they want, and then it becomes really clear they don’t give a fuck about the children. And the general public are too dumb, not to fall for it for the hundredth time.

Someone on Reddit pulled some choice quotes from county meetings in Kerr. In a better world the people quoted here would feel guilt and would lose careers and standing. This to me being one of the more blatant quotes that the media should be blasting everywhere. www.reddit.com/r/TexasPolit...

The news media have normalized a president brazenly lying every day. Decent people are appalled, and that should include journalists, but instead the media have accepted lying as part of the game.

www.wndu.com/2025/06/25/p... Fuck Elkhart County and fuck the murderer loving ownership of Jayco RVs for keeping these sick fucks employed.

Finally watching Terrifier 3, and kind of stuck on “that’s not how Paroxetine works Jonathan!”. I speak from 6 years of experience and several ween off cycles. #mutantfam #horrorfam

i have several books on the birds of the former USSR that are only available in English because of the involvement of various federal programs supporting translation of Russian scientific texts- books i refer to often in my work on the birds of Beringia! can't imagine such a program today...

I just pulled out my copy of Newton's Principia, a book that was originally written in Latin, and noticed that the translation I am using was completed with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, which has basically been destroyed Science depends on the humanities 🧪

The random people at the spontaneous protest that popped off because they saw the busboy at their neighborhood restaurant being kidnapped by ICE should have planned the optics better
