apart from the obvious racism here--trying to legislate or moralize about where people "ought to" live is the last or only resort of people who have given up actually trying to address the housing crisis. There is no good reason to stop migration, and no real way to stop it except by brute force

they’re saying on the news goku is sick. they’re saying he ate a box of sunmaid raisins and they’re poison for him like for dogs. the camera cut to the weatherman for the forecast and he can’t keep it together. everyone in this town loves goku

Jeffrey Epstein chuckled. "u meAn teh caohs emaradlssss"

Questioning the judgement of the editors that approved this piece is misogyny.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

I always get a kick out of the NYT Defense Squad trotting out harrumphing takes about how serious journalists don't report on mere speculation, blow things out of proportion, dig into their colleagues' email, etc etc

Bovino equates undocumented people who commit crimes with landscapers, janitors, farmhands, factory and restaurant workers allegedly "taking jobs from Americans"

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

both were elected in part because they were probably the most experienced politicians in the running and were considered relatively inoffensive to the party nominating them. and they both fucked up catastrophically in different ways

thinking about it now: i've said it before but the argument gets more reasonable by the day that joe biden should be (and will be) historically viewed similarly to buchanan for his complete inability to respond appropriately to trump during his term. he had one job and he fucked it up.

genuinely very few things more satisfying than reading the kinds of emails rich and famous people send each other

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal." JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"

"One day, everyone will have always been against this" was a condemnation. Not a one-step guide for revitalizing your career.

the fact that a bunch who'd normally you'd expect to just be obama hanger ons defending the status quo to the hilt got hype for platner after tattoo reveal, mcbride's eager defense for moulton and others, feels like there's a bond being made not even over class but "we all hate being criticized!"

I had to check to see if this was real. It’s only the start of a tweet, but it’s real. And the rest of the tweet isn’t better because they’re lying about there being any threat. This is about the viral video you’ve probably seen with the drive-by pepper spray.

No cursed style Groverhaus type nightmare is complete without a Threatening Aura Bathroom

the simpsons should take the elon musk episode off of disney plus and replace it with the michael jackson episode

Quest Quest's celebration of all things Space Quest continues in our latest episode, where @bvigeant.bsky.social and I discuss Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge. Does it deserve its poor reputation among fans? Did I personally help create that reputation? Tune in to find out! zencastr.com/z/h7bjxmch

Today on Quest Quest, the adventure game podcast, @decafjedi.com once again puts down the law and demands that we talk about Space Quest 2, a game that is better than its reputation, according to a guy who probably smeared its reputation (Jess). Listen here or wherever: zencastr.com/z/h7bjxmch

the james bond thing is obviously silly on its face. There's an old (70s) episode of Doctor Who that establishes that the Doc has a limit of regenerations (e.g. actors that can swap in). I knew people that just assumed when they hit that number the show would be over.

it snowed one time and they’re packing it in

There's a real canon of books for dumb guys that like to play smart.

It's pretty funny, in Howard the Duck he has a MallardCard, instead of MasterCard

Today I learned about the existence of a Codename: Iceman fan game called Kidname: Iceboy. I'll go play it now, I bet this is hilarious. graysond.itch.io/kidname-iceboy

(looks at a royal flush) I fold

You cannot separate the current nightmare we now inhabit from the collapse/crisis in how rich, powerful middle-aged men perceive masculinity, especially their own insecurities.

do you know how horrid and evil you have to be to be in this much pain in public and everyone still hates you

Going to be very funny watching the Republicans act like this is a great plan

Me and @bvigeant.bsky.social turned Franklin Pierce into an unpleasant loser for our comic @philcomics.bsky.social and the world is better for it

Indian Illinois Department of Transportation employee stopped by ICE agents, questioned if he was 'aware' of NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani

AI is more proof that there is no such thing as "business journalism." There are just people who are paid to retype press releases while pretending they are reporting.

Thunder Man, Apple Time 1987

They’re helping ICE agents stage at their store on Peterson by the way. Too late! Should have kept it woke! Good luck with the smiling or whatever though

Many years back I worked a pretty unpleasant job that paid terribly and the morale was low. The mgmt sent a survey asking now they could improve morale. After a little while they sent an updated survey with the note "don't mention a raise" Same energy

This is what oligarchy looks like: If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break. If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry. Obscene.

i think we can justifiably slice this thinner. trans issues are of very low salience to the voters democrats need to win on their right flank, and of very high salience to the voters democrats need to win on their left flank

Some screenshots from itp_chicago IG. You can see how federal agents stake their presence around some of these communities in intersections in the middle of traffic and sidewalks in front of businesses. This feels very particular to the SW Side with Little Village being a prime target for this.

sorry guys i accidentally deleted the spreadsheet with the first drafts of homophobic potato chip brands and it turns out it was somehow load bearing to the entire driving system and the only guy who knows how to fix it got fired in the union busting so

thinking about how brandon johnson was targeted by editorials about crime in the loop before he was inaugurated.

Ellis also finds that the feds' use of force in Chicago "shocks the conscience."

Are bus routes and train frequency "bureaucracy"
