Bearing a cross on wheels is a great metaphor for Christian oppression

FIVE HOURS of Charlie Kirk Memorial in the midst of an NFL FOOTBALL SUNDAY??? lmfao this seals it, conservatives gave up football in the national divorce. the gridiron is left-coded now

Fwiw this is factually incorrect and shows a completely uninformed of elections. Electoral churn from cycle to cycle is alone enough to dramatically shift results. No persuasion required.

harrison butler would have made that kick if he'd spent less time being a leader on the team and more time being his wife's leader in all things

End-of-Act-2 plot-detour secondary villain lair in Pixar's "PHONES" (2027)

I do think MAGA managed to make the Kirk assassination their 9/11 Not in the sense they wanted, but in the sense that they took their brief window of public sympathy and strip-mined it so totally that everyone hates them even more, now

Can't remember who it was that once posted it to the Bad Old Site, but always a trip to recall that THIS was the final shot in the "ERNEST" franchise:

KIMMEL should get Kimmel’s job.

This is just the scene in Never Stop Never Stopping where they upload their album to a fridge.

Also I would love to never see a story about vampire politics ever again.

Those are just beautiful movies, all of them.

Not sure why it took me until 2025 to watch Ernest Scared Stupid, but today a wrong has been righted!

The amount of control Nexstar and Sinclair are exercising should concern everyone. Especially because the merger Nexstar is looking to complete will give them control over 81% of network affiliates. Trump’s FCC is a problem, as is Disney’s acquiescence, but they both are just distractions.

Disney-ABC-Nexstar knows that every affiliate agreement prevents preemption Stations are required to receive approval from the network before any preemptions and don't usually give it unless it's something extraordinary Doing so without approval is 100% a violation of an affiliation agreement

Yes, you might see more Rooker in the future of DC because of my solemn promise. Find out about this & everything #Peacemaker on this week's official companion podcast with me, my co-hosts Jenn Holland & Steve Agee, & special guest Michael Rooker. Watch now: youtu.be/56FLrYrpbTE

I think that's not surprising given that the main objective of X's owner was defeating Biden, and then Harris. If you are a leftist who was also interested in defeating them (or indifferent to the possibility) you would've been less affected by the skewed algorithm.

I actually don't think it's just the British hard left on X. There's a lot of American hard leftists that basically view this place as essentially the Taiwan for Bidenists

Said another way, Twitter is a headspace for people whose conception of "The worst authority figure possible!" is the teacher who wouldn't treat them special or their own middle-class 'liberal' mothers; which codes handily to EVERY Trumpsucker but also the stupidest versions of "leftists."

Twitter is great for liberals/leftists who hate leftists/liberals more than fascists, because it’s a constant deluge propaganda about how whatever left of center tendency you dislike is the source of all the world’s ills.

If I were PlayStation, I’d probably avoid “pulling a Disney” right now, but what do I know about business.

The only ones asking people to change their gender are the ones who oppose transgender care.

Oh ⤵️

Bill Maher really said "Jimmy Kimmel was wrong but 1st Amendment, amiright?" and he's STILL getting raked across the coals by MAGA... So much for that glazing dinner with Dear Leader...

ABC could just cancel their contract with Nexstar. Disney knows it. This isn't about cowardice. It's about submission.

if modern Americans had been asked to make the kind of sacrifices their grandparents did during the Second World War, particularly in terms of gasoline or treat rationing, they would've been suicide-bombing government buildings within a week

Even if they were GOOD at consent manufacture for war misadventure this would be a tough get, but consent manufacture for invasion is one place they've consistently fucked up. Greenland? Canada? Doing another Afghanistan IN AFGHANISTAN, lmao? Their trial balloons keep popping

I was a co-writer on the script for this 2 years ago. The references are (obviously) less topical now but the point remains the same for pop-culture, politics, EVERYTHING: Twitter is a distortion-field, and it's BAD for us: youtu.be/pMTazviRabg?...

It's been like this since the first Trump term. If you read the news it's amazing how many stories are propped up by "shit someone said on Twitter" and wouldn't get approved otherwise. And it's been that way since Trump pivoted on his Twitter following to win his first primary.

You have shit like Disney/ABC getting blindsided by the backlash to the Jimmy Kimmel suspension because they thought suspending him would be broadly popular because that's what Twitter was saying Everyone with power is addicted to fucking Twitter

Like how the fuck do you explain "the average person wants Democrats to surrender on abortion rights" unless Ezra Klein is getting his idea of what average people want from Twitter bsky.app/profile/samd...

The net effect of Elon buying Twitter and rebuilding the algorithm to constantly spoonfeed people right wing propaganda has been less convincing average people of right wing propaganda and more convincing the entire anglosphere elite class that the average person believes right wing propaganda

I have to admit I underestimated how much Elon buying Twitter would influence our politics - not because of its influence on ordinary people, which I predicted accurately as "significant but not extraordinary," but because I didn't realize how addicted all our journos and politicians are to Twitter

it’s not the *worst* part i guess but can you guys imagine how much it’s pained me not to post about this

I agree it’s good to convert voters. The thing that DC Dems can’t seem to get into their thick skulls is that kumbaya listening sessions convert no one. What converts people is creating a social penalty for stupid beliefs and ideas

NFL star and noted activist Colin Kaepernick is paying for an independent second autopsy for a Mississippi college student who was found hanging from a tree.

This is an incredible price to play such a beloved classic Please play Chrono Trigger. There are so many reasons why people say this is one is a must-play

I'm supposed to be afraid of this dweeb? Produce a hairline, weiner.

this whole thing is idiotic but it's particularly worth noting that Trump was kicked off social media platforms after Jan 6, *before Biden was president.*

All the Taliban fighters who were bored their office jobs after winning hearing about the Bagram news:

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

Stephen Colbert should run for president.

I didn't watch a minute of this sh-- but THIS is *really* testing my "don't be judgmental about funerals or grief in general" rule, I gotta be honest.

Batman: Counterculture ally ✌️ You love to see it 👍 youtube.com/shorts/5nkLu...

This is the time of year where on Sunday I never know from context-free panic-posts whether a war just started or if something just went poorly in Midwest football

Here's the thing: It matters less whether the boycott/anger/letters/etc "really" caused X amount of $$ to be lost than it does that THOUSANDS of headlines are all saying "Boycott = LOSS" - eventually perception becomes (part of) reality. Keep up the pressure (and write/send physical letter to them!)

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE

You do not have to "hand it to" etc etc etc Yes, it's good when good things are done. But the same corporation people are (correctly!) walloping for screwing Jimmy Kimmel NOW was collecting brownie-points not long ago for taking swings at Ron DeSantis. You're on your own side, not theirs.
