Exactly one year ago today:

2021 Republicans: How dare tech companies talk to government about moderating speech!!! We’ll create a whole false narrative about it and take it all the way to the Supreme Court! 2025 Republicans: We run things now so

"ICE OUT" banners seen in the Timbers Army during the National Anthem. #RCTID

Five-time draft dodger says what now?

”In conclusion, Hillary Clinton is a land of contrasts”

FIFA Peace Prize winner drives out FIFA World Cup team

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

i just saw someone say "Kid Rock makes music for the people who have tattoos of their kids but not custody" and hol up i need a minute

ChatGPT is Trump’s biggest donor and is used by ICE. If you don’t like Trump or ICE, you should quit ChatGPT.

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.

1. The new batch of Epstein documents helps illuminate one contemporary controversy: What is Bari Weiss up to at CBS? I think the answer is she is trying to rehabilate the Epstein network as a bulwark of reactionary centrism. Let me explain.

Pointed out by my friend @carloshasanax.bsky.social . There's something weird and unsettling about a fairly homogeneous culture spread out across Europe that then collapses into an orgy of genocide. www.science.org/content/arti...

"People will still find a way to gamble if they want to!" Ok, but people still find ways to buy meth but we still don't sell it at Boots and let the Sinoloa Cartel advertise on football uniforms.

Watching Billy Wilder's Love in the Afternoon at the moment. Boy this hasn't aged well. A romance between Gary Cooper and Audrey Hepburn. What an embarassment. Thought to myself, look at that old bastard. Then I realized that I'm older right now in 2025 than Cooper was in 1957.

Into the Twilight of the Trump Era What becomes of MAGA as Trump’s hold over the movement is weakening, his ability to integrate its different factions is waning? A deep dive into the state of the fever swamp. New piece:

@tcmparty.bsky.social Right now I'm watching The Late Show. I know there was a short-run TV spinoff...but a series with Art Carney and Lily Tomlin... I would watch the shit out that.

Wor Brazilians are blonde again ….. and they’ve recruited a new member to the bleached gang 😂 Osula !! #NUFC

Bluesky let Jesse Singal stay and now he's posting the spreadsheet again with the PHI of trans youth from Missouri. They only emboldened him.

If someone who strangled a guy to death for acting out in the subway "shouldn't have been brought to trial," you have to wonder why there's a nationwide manhunt for the guy who shot a health insurance CEO.

So turns out CNN only kicked the nazi off the set because mehdi hasan walked out during the ad break and didn't do the whole hour of programming he was scheduled for, classy operation they have there

I think one way to think about the Trump campaign’s doubling down on open fascism, especially after the F-word broke through to mainstream discourse with Kelly and Milley, is that they’re looking for a mandate. If they win, they’ll say: “we told everyone what we’d do, so now we’ll do it”.

Elon Musk regularly promotes accounts that push phony race science. He uses X to pay money to neo-Nazis. He lies about Black and Brown immigrants. He positively engages with antisemites. Musk is a white supremacist who whines and fearmongers while continuing to accept millions in taxpayer dollars.

This is fucking disgusting: Character_ai is using my murdered niece as the face of a video game AI without her dad's permission. He is very upset right now. I can't imagine what he's going through. Please help us stop this sort of terrible practice. character.ai/character/Dv...

🚨 CAUTION! 🚨 the famously honorable chris rufo has his lawyer sending threatening letters now. so, whatever you do, DO NOT spread around the fact that he had an ashley madison account. i cannot stress enough how much he does not want you to associate his name with the affair website ashley madison.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,468,688! I felt like I was super late to the show.

A near ironclad rule of race science is the dumbest motherfuckers you will ever meet are obsessed with IQ.

Hoping everyone who wrote a scolding post abt the organic jokes about JD and his couch writes up a repentant one about his hateful cat and fake Haitian immigrant story.

1/ If you are only now noticing that Musk and his inner circle have a LOT of ties to Russia - let me refresh your memory... Musk has spoken with Putin directly: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

Labor Daybor Eve

Hypothesis: The big disjunct between Senator and President polling in swing states (eg, Kari Lake -14 versus Trump -1) measures the difference between MAGAts reported as the batshit people they are and Trump, whose batshittery the MSM has cleaned up.

I preferred America before it was overrun with Republican goons and thugs.

David Neiwert has been one of the sharpest observers and analysts of the US right since the 1980s. His work from the early 2000s is eerie in terms of how prescient it now seems. At the time, however , precious few mainstream outlets paid any attention to his reporting . prospect.org/politics/202...

lmao

While we watch Obama, Hilary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Joe Biden wholeheartedly endorse Kamala Harris, it's worth remembering that the following people didn't even go to the RNC this year because they were clearly not welcome: Mike Pence, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Dick Cheney, and George W Bush.

The public hasn't even gotten close to grokking how weird JD Vance is.

BlueSky is my only remaining social media where I can pimp my Substack, so if you have time please check it out. It's free right now, though I am debating putting most of the archive behind a paywall soon. Feel free to comment and share!

50 years ago today Jeffrey Hyman, John Cummings, Douglas “Dee Dee” Colvin and Tommy Erdelyi made their first appearance at CBGB on August 16, 1974. The rest is history. #punk #punks #punkrock #ramones #cbgb #history #punkrockhistory #otd

Happened in Brighton last Wednesday 6 Fascists protected by the boys and girls in high viz 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✊✊

This editor needs to teach the NYT how to write headlines www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

From a friend "There are so many anti-fascists on the streets of Walthamstow that it’s impossible to get anywhere near the immigration legal centre that the far right are targeting."

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.
