#HappyPride from Ron Swanson

A high quality remake/reboot of Shagma.

This is what Norway needs to do immediately.

Normalize not letting bigots get away with referring to their bigotries as their consciences. Happy Pride Month.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

Green onions are currently banned from all Korean polling locations, and the story why is wild. Going into election season, everyone's mad at President Yoon over the shocking inflation. So last month, when a single grocery store had a sale on leeks, he showed up and held a massive press conference.

Pick a Bond from the photos already on your phone.

being surprised when young people don’t like capitalism is like being surprised when someone hates Monopoly after you only let them join for the last 10% of the game

Be the race traitor you want to see in the world, friends

Slightly diminish a book: Butcher's Shop Five

Hårek Hansens Facebook-post om «å tegne en venstreradikal svensk-iraner som apekatt» er språk som brukes ofte på X og i kommentarfeltene hvor «Stem FrP!» brukes som hundefløyte. Det er en sammenheng her, og det er ikke at disse poster på SoMe i fylla. Kjip tråd 🧵

DU SKAL IKKE KNELE - Alf Prøysen (ca. 1938)

It is absolutely vital that someone makes a good feature film about the Russian revolution and the last days of the tsardom before Adam Driver gets too old to play Rasputin. We still have some years of leeway, but I know these things take time so we better get right on it.

You can tell this is real because it's too heavy handed to function as satire.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try." Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

One thing that comes up a lot – in fact, it's going to come up in Friday's column – in the whole "male loneliness epidemic is how "the manosphere/far-right are the only people offering answers to the problem", and that's not even vaguely true. 1/22

Impeachment isn't a tactic, and it's not a matter of practicality. It's an unambiguous duty. You don't do it because it's smart, you do it because that is what you swore to do. www.the-reframe.com/impeachment-...

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

Trump's genocidal insanity will leave office with him. But, unless that happens now, his lasting legacy will be the stain that sticks to the United States for a century; the country so flawed, cowardly and toothless, that it was unable and unwilling to stop an obviously mad tyrant.

What I love about this point is it’s so obvious. It exposes the extent to which what most people mean when they say “we need to make a path of redemption” is “we need to perform redemption on behalf of people who have shown no interest in doing anything redemptive.”

Trans friends, thank you for being you, and for, when you can, sharing yourselves with a world that is so frequently undeserving of the light you bring to it. I love and support you, always. 🏳️‍⚧️🫂🫶

Very obvious that Trump only imagines himself to be a leader a part of America in a fight against the rest of America. This is his only political ability.

Det finnes bare to ekte grunner til å rydde: 1: Du får besøk. 2: Du skal reise bort og vil ikke at folk skal se alt rotet ditt hvis du dør før du kommer hjem.

Hey, Americans, I have a suggestion for you. Once you get the orange menace out of that white house of yours, don't just prosecute him domestically. Extradite him to Iran. Let him face justice for his war crimes in the country where they were committed, and send his top brass along.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men." Just saying it right out loud now. newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

apparently when I said I wanted to see Les Misérables someday, I should have clarified that I did not mean "unfolding on the streets around me in real time"

This is an outstanding resource and very clear rundown on a) why Substack is bad because people apparently still need to be spoonfed in 2026 and b) the MYRIAD options to use instead

Aldersverifisering? Jeg betalte for ting med tiøring da jeg var tiåring.

Extra tired today of ChatGPT writers who think 'soon readers won't care that we use AI to write tons of books'. I promise you, they'll always care you thought so little of their time & money, & the social & environmental costs, that you couldn't be bothered to NOT steal & vomit out derivative crap.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Their argument is: rich white people are allowed to do whatever they want, and that includes pedo islands or rounding up the rest in camps. There is no contradiction, no hypocrisy, no argument that will sway them. The ideology is: power is moral

Keep your friends close, and keep your enemy’s toaster.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

one of the reasons everybody hates late arrivals from the right or even the center is they're all weepy little idiots who want to be coddled and forgiven and make it everybody else's problem. shut up, figure out how to help fix what you broke, and stop writing thinkpieces

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence. newrepublic.com/article/2055...

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Immortan Joe har sagt ja til å bli med i Trumps fredsråd.

“I’m tired of apologizing for being a white man!” say the people who’ve never ever said anything even slightly resembling an apology 😐
