Billionaires are the problem. They will never be the solution.

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

Breaking news: system designed for racial profiling successfully profiles according to race.

I think the only reason the MAGA bigot brigade never complained about the casting in Hamilton is that they were too stupid to get the point the show was making.

Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

Many of the politicians who were in that room running scared tonight have devoted much of their lives to ensuring gun violence and the fear of it is a part of every day life for the rest of us.

God, I love her so much. Just banger after bager. She's in it purely for the love of the game and I respect that.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

I’m so tired of living in a cautionary tale.

I don’t think I’m overstating it when I say that everyone is underreacting to everything.

And when the tyranny they always warned us about actually came, they deemed it “legitimate law-enforcement activities.” It cannot be said enough: FUCK THE NRA

I can’t stop thinking about this character from Fargo. It feels like the entire state of Minnesota is saying “fuck” for the first time right now.

WHO removing Us Flag

There’s so much to dissect here, but I’m stuck on “prestigious.” Because in his mind, the point of a Board of Peace is not to be effective or even, you know, peaceful. It is to bestow prestige upon its members.

A big part of the current right wing belief system is that everyone is actually just as bigoted as they are, and are only pretending not to be as a public performance ("virtue signalling"). They genuinely thought once they started doing open racism, everyone would join in

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Very seriously consider not watching this. I am reposting it for the benefit of any journalists/attorneys/organizers/activists who can help to [neuter] ICE & humiliate & hobble those who have or would offer them support.

"America is an oil company with an army." —George Carlin

pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

A perfect episode of television.

I know it’s too soon to speculate on who committed the latest mass shooting, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say it was someone who shouldn’t have had a gun.

In 1995, a friend showed me that the movie Babe had a website where you could download pictures of the animals and play little games. I was sold. Today, the world is falling apart, and 90% of the internet is people hoping that a woman who brings joy to millions will fail and her fans will be sad.

@reptedlieu.bsky.social Why did you vote in favor of Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day? Do you think this is what your constituents would want?

@timcarvell.bsky.social This would be a great time to switch to a daily format. Last Week Tonightly?

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Nothing sums up who Trump is more than the fact that he believes he can bully his way to getting the Nobel Peace Prize.

Etsy boycotts are a good start. Now EVERY corporation needs to take a side. Money is the only language people in power speak. Trump is building fucking concentration camps in America. We’re all in this fight, and if you’re staying neutral, I’ll spend my money somewhere else, thanks.

*ding*

28 Decades Later… 28 Centuries Later… 28 Millennia Later. And by then it’s just about a bunch of zombie studio execs trying to figure out what to call the next one.

No better way to build morale in the military than forcing troops to march down largely empty streets in a thunderstorm to celebrate a draft dodger’s birthday

Yet another reminder that this pathetic little man has never known and will never know a moment of true happiness or love in his entire life.

worth adding. he's the ranking member on the immigration subcommittee. of course she knows who he is.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Um, if you can’t defend your vote, maybe don’t tell people about your vote?

Smurfs in the 1980s: “Gosh, Smurfette! You’re lookin’ awfully smurfy today!” Smurfs today: “Shut the Smurf up before I bust a Smurf in your Smurf, muthasmurfer!”

Sure, bribery is bad, but aren’t there also national security implications of our president traveling around in a jet made by a foreign government? Isn’t there a cautionary tale in history about accepting gifts from other countries? Something about a horse? #trojanplane

The natural endpoint of Reagan’s “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help” crack was having buffoons like this saying, “What am I supposed to do? I’m only from the government branch in charge of this very thing.”

Let me guess. Because Trump's going to stiff him on the bill like he does with everyone else?

Republicans have the presidency, the house, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the media and, pretty soon, academia. Democrats have the White Lotus.

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

It’s starting to feel like a game: how many incredibly unpopular things can Trump get away with and not lose his base? Trump shutters Disneyland! Trump bans puppies! Want to breathe air? It’ll cost you!

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Donald Trump is a madman and an expert on absolutely nothing, including things he’s been doing his whole life. When you say “Donald Trump is saying…,” the only point you are making is that you are also not worthy of listening to.

I believe this man is mixing up the cases of 2 Live Crew and Biz Markie. Parody is fair use. Sampling is copyright infringement, boyee. Sincerely, a scholar in the obscure field of old-school hip hip jurisprudence.

The essence of Trumpism is inventing an imagined world in which everything is worse.

It would be so poetic if the whole Trump-Musk alliance crumbles because Trump doesn’t actually buy that Tesla today, and Elon goes, “Bro, but you said…”
