those who predicted authoritarianism were both dismissed, & deeply misunderstood, by the media my latest for @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2042...

FUCKIN FACTS 💯

Damn.

I just discovered he likes matcha brownies.

The great lesson of 2025 is we need more hating, the chaotic good kind. And the more deserving the recipient, the pettier it should be. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8UsEgoU/

Taking care of a problem passenger Chicago-style.

I wish…

He is risen

I want to see The Legend Of Billie Jean set in present time with social media as the driving force.

Practicing food coma in preparation for Thursday.

Whiplash inducing pivot on what is generating disgust on the skyline today. Fierce argument over which films are worthy of this list is infinitely preferable to total consensus on what is the grossest sex poem ever.

Whose heart is most broken?: Don Jr. Eric J.D. Vance Netanyahu A.G. Sulzberger

The press wouldn't stand up for one of their own against him, so don't have any illusions about what "too far" might mean for them.

Dershowitz doing his best to ensure he’ll never buy a pierogi anywhere ever again.

To anyone thinking about joining the "but there wasn't anything the NYT could have done with those emails!" apologia chorus, please direct your attention the NYT using WH visits from a Parkinson's expert *during the drafting of Parkinson's legislation* to insinuate Biden might have Parkinson's.

I like it.

Threatening us with the very best time.

Okay yeah lets do it, because it is an interview with two conservative women, which I think is getting missed in some of the drive by dunks. This isn't just Ross's normal crankery, its a window into a specific conservative project aimed at getting women to buy in.

This thread is so fun.

Mansplainjng has no bounds. None.

And a spray of birdshot pellets.

It's really important to remember Cheney is far worse and far more responsible for Trump and MAGA than most people realize. His legacy of evil didn't start in 2000--you can go all the way back to the start of his political career in the early 70s when he started working for Steiger and Rumsfeld.

Wait a minute, Dick Cheney was only 5 years older than Trump?

LOL WTF is this???

Caturday gift: a hint of bean.

The perfect NYT column. Gutter racism barely disguised by a facade of intellectualism. McWhorter proudly lining up right behind Buckley, Murray, Sullivan, etc.

2024 "objective" election coverage in a nutshell. Neutral facade for Trump, overtly negative toward Harris.

"The couple works in the family's farm business." Left vague deliberately because this is a profile of very wealthy farm *owners*, not blue collar or low income farm *workers*. Media can keep insisting the GOP is now the party of the working class only by pulling this kind of sleight of hand.

Should I just get a table?

The Jeffersons, and there's not even a close second. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-On...

Accidentally got a Nazi tattoo is a great idea for an IASIP episode. In real life though, it’s not a thing.

Dressed for No Kings day.

By “contrarian” they mean “you can chant the n-word but not ‘Free Palestine.’”

Find someone to love you the way Glem loves Nazis.

There IS a way to reach out to opposition voters without compromising your values to appease them. This is a great example.

It is exhausting and there is 1. no recognition of it, and 2. no metric to compensate for it.

When your most liked skeet is just a screenshot of someone else’s tweet and your second most liked has an obvious typo.

Imagine how racist conservative white women have to be to let these crusty deranged old men dictate their health decisions.

I guess Sitting While Black is also on the list.

Hooman, please, stop embarrassing yourself. I will not be enticed by this fakery.

Whoa.

“You’ll face no disadvantage… you’ll be treated just as horribly as everyone else trying to come to the US who we don’t want here.”

Caturday night

Share this widely now, because when Kilmeade is dead it will be unacceptable to remind anyone he said this.

Any consequences for the liars insisting the shooter was some left-wing activist and/or trans? Any? How about for demanding vengeance upon the left? No? I realize it's not nearly as bad as gently reminding people that Kirk was an unabashed racist, but...

Pritzker needs to announce a Chicago TACO party.

Turns out Trump wants to bring manufacturing back to the US for target practice.
