fucking WHY

This racist country doesn’t deserve to be called “free” and never has.

Republicans think people are going to continue to sit quietly and let their decades-long fascist plan continue largely devoid of real resistance and they are sorely mistaken. I only hope every single one of them gets what they deserve.

May the Fourth Be With You!

Oh no, this is like his 9/11

And Trump eventually pardoned him for his role as a J6 insurrectionist.

Amazing to me that people keep screaming about security failures in a situation where security did not fail. Bad things didn't even happen to bad people, so you can stop pretending to be worried about that. Stop whining for a bigger, badder police state.

This puts the security debate in better perspective. I know this space really well. The guy wasn’t anywhere near the ballroom. He was basically trying to rush the security perimeter and failed. It’s a big complex with lots of different event happening at the same time.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

He can cut their funding to the bone and threaten to wipe their organization from existence and even PBS will write this loser-ass bullshit in the name of journalism school brained neutrality.

it is weird to think that at least for a little while the assumption was that things were broadly going in the right direction, and people and societies would only get better and perhaps even more virtuous over time

i am trying to think of anything no matter how hyperbolic i have said or seen said about stephen miller that was worse than "copping a feel on your pregnant wife while using her as a human shield during a shooting"

When radioactivity was discovered, there was a rush to market for all sorts of radioactive consumer goods. There were water jugs made out of uranium glass, for example. I think about that a lot these days whenever I see AI products being marketed to consumers.

we still have no idea who this person was or what his motive was for all we know he was there for the journalists! He could have been there for you, Dana! Do you think the president’s “heated rhetoric” should stop?

the CEO of Palantir can't even cheat like a normal person

Like... I'm sorry, but to win future elections, you need a good chunk of the people who sat out in 2016 or 2024 to vote for you, and I just don't think that sneering at them and saying it's their fault that things are the way they are right now is going to win them over, even if you truly believe it

"You let someone get into office..." That's a lot of responsibility to be dumping on people you acknowledge are already pretty close to you in beliefs. Instead of berating them, you might consider what you could do to appeal to them, since, like you said, they agree with you on 90% of things.

why is leap day william filing taxes

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

Today we’re seeing the direct result of the slow poison of Islamophobia that has been killing all of America since 9/11. It’s just horrid.

Alight, I’ll go back on Bluesky.

HAPPY EASTER!!! #Easter

Charles Bronson having a nicewish, in which he wishes people a nice day. Very common back then.

The 2000s were a magical era where for some reason film studios decided that two video nasty gore perverts should be in charge of the two biggest franchises of the decade

if you’re in a relationship with a chat bot you’re just a narcissist. love requires empathy you can’t empathize with a large language model because it doesn’t have a mind. it has no wants and no needs. it exists to combine words to make you feel good.

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart 1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks 2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops .. @semafor.com www.semafor.com/article/01/0...

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

It’s kind of stunning how openly, gleefully, unrepentantly evil this administration is. If these people weren’t rich they’d be stabbing people in alleys. I’m sure a chunk still do that in their off time.

Year-end critics’ lists exist for people to fight over, so I’m happy when people complain about them. But the complaint I will never get is, “I’ve never heard of most of these movies/albums/shows.” Yes, and? Why be mad about learning about stuff you didn’t know before from the news?

"Demanding an RCT would prevent pregnant women from receiving most vaccines, said Jake Scott, MD, a clinical associate professor of infectious disease" It also will prevent #seniors from accessing #vaccines, who will die without them. In droves. I'm tired, man. #Geriatrics in the USA=exhausting

Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free” the library bought it. which in turn means that the community bought it. In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.

just a reminder this guy slashed the tires on his much younger female coworkers tires to trick her into getting in his car he was married at the time

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

This is my favorite part of this cycle we've been repeating for my entire adult life: when they sit backwards on the chair for some real talk and explain that you're a fucking peasant who doesn't understand how things work.

Lucy is really going to let Charlie Brown kick the football this time. She really means it.

Knew this guy sucked shit, but I didn’t pay attention past appearances on Colbert ~15 years ago. Didn’t realize he just spews MAGA slop now instead of just saying incorrect stats. Another fucking loser. One positive of this living Hell is exposing all these charlatans.

If you believe that Dem leadership is fighting for you, ask them what they did when the Supreme Court took away the human rights of 50% of the nation, when two thirds of Americans disagreed with the Court’s decision, and we had the presidency. More than 3 years later. Ask how they’ve fought.

Pardoned for forging Electoral College votes! Truly anything goes with this crime boss!

People hate this motherfucker but are *truly* beginning to hate ALL these motherfuckers which just does not seem to be a thing that Dems grasp. They especially do not seem to get that they are not only included in that but are earning themselves featured roles

These politicians aren't in disarray. They fucking hate you. They don't work for you.

Trump just celebrated Schumer's cave by pardoning 75+ co-conspirators including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

The ACA fucking *sucks*, is a national shame, is confoundingly cruel and ineffective and insufficient and, also, simultaneously is SO MUCH MORE PREFERABLE to pre-ACA American healthcare it's not even close.

Like for six weeks, Democrats actually united on a singular, coherent message of “this is entirely about healthcare, it is the only thing that matters, all of this is about protecting healthcare” and then the flight delays started and the first thing they did was give up on healthcare

"How could Dems cave like this after last Tuesday's victory?" But it wasn't a victory for Schumer. His candidate -- the Trump-supported one -- lost. The jubilation and hope folks feel about Mamdani? Chuck feels the opposite. To sum up: he sucks.

Sending love to everyone whose health care has been jeopardized by the Democratic cave-in. These Democratic elites will not be part of the solution. We must proceed with that understanding.

Vote could be as early as 8 pm but probably will happen late at night/early morning to minimize people paying attention
