wait they’re really called “wafers”?

You’re “unhinged” if you participate in functioning democracy. Why even have primaries?

Politicians love to talk about "kids safety" until you ask them to do something that would actually keep kids safe like fund housing, healthcare, education, outdoor spaces, arts programs, etc. That's because most of them use "safety" as a euphemism for surveillance, control and domination.

Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.

Putting aside Nike’s well-known history of outsourced child labor and sweatshops: I feel like my current “mental note” of companies to avoid is just the entire database of SEC filings.

“Don’t be evil” lul

why have reporters, politicians, influencers, etc. all of a sudden seem to have started holding lapel mics to talk into them? it’s a lapel mic, it’s specifically designed to go on your shirt or lapel, you look ridiculous holding it, stop it.

waymo ceo: we plan for fatal crashes and society will learn to accept them roblox ceo: kids must be preyed upon and victimized as a necessary consequence of scale WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HEADS ON PIKES

"Did you hear that guy Romeo you dated, like, murder/suicided Rosaline? Dodged a bullet there"

Monica Lewinsky has been unnecessarily catching strays this week, however.

I will say: It’s a shame that Nancy Reagan lost her title.

Let's just enjoy the fact for a moment that Bill Clinton getting a blowjob really could bring down the government this time.

Kind of crazy that evidence is mounting that the world is run by a group of rapists, pedophiles, and men convinced of women’s inmate natural inferiority, and the pundit class is trying to convince us that the real social crisis is that men are victimized and lonely because women have too many jobs.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

It's mad, but pop singer Sabrina Carpenter is sorta partly responsible for Zohran Mamdani winning in NYC. She filmed a music video in a church, and that led to an investigation by outraged Christians for being too saucy, which in turn led to the priest being replaced, and Eric Adams being indicted.

The Zohran font meme is like the brat font meme but good.

Wasn’t the last FIFA World Cup stadium constructed with human-trafficked slave labor?

umm yeah, i think the table will share an onion blossom

Had to share this from twitter just because

I am taking particular pleasure in the complete collapse of trans-as-unbeatable-wedge-issue narrative this morning. It might be an 80-20 issue in voters minds, but it has to be on voters minds to matter. The results in VA demonstrate that it is very much not on voters minds.

Dick Cheney Vice Presidential Library Opens In Pitch-Dark, Sulfurous Underground Cave

I’m not going to take the turkey out of the freezer until it’s defrosted.

dude come ooooooon we’re like so close 🤏

I can’t stress this enough: you cannot understand politics without reading this paragraph about why there’s no such thing as a 1/3rd pound hamburger

Again, not the most important here, but I'm begging for a journalist to figure out how/why NPS put up a Confederate statue DURING A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. How is this "essential" when food stamps are not?

This kinda made Flight 93’s sacrifice “in vain” when you really think about it.

that AI bubble is gonna burst and the US is gonna enter the worst technological/intellectual dark age in recorded human history. like, worse than the Dark Ages even.

BREAKING - Overnight in August, the city of Orlando, Florida took down the Pulse Nightclub memorial rainbow crosswalk. The next day, people began protesting. TNN interviewed one of the protesters, who recounted horrific human rights abuses after her arrest. Written by @thefreeradical.org 🧵

Two things: 1. Gamers would absolutely lose their shit if a company released a game as broken-looking as this. 2. This would be fun to play while tripping.

damn maybe we would have been better off if he just got Covid back in 2020

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

It's always weird to get push notifications from like Uber urging people to take specific political action

i am even willing to cede that it's *possible* he was straight-up too dumb to realize that it was a hardcore Nazi tattoo until recently, but I also think that means you are therefore too dumb to be a senator

okay look im not saying that there aren’t stupid idiots who unintentionally get nazi tattoos thinking that they’re cool pirate jolly rogers or something in 2011 but i do think that’s an important litmus test for whether someone is competent enough to have a six-year position in the Senate

10/10 dive

Cooked as a country when art can’t be made because we have to take into account the fee-fees of Klan members.

imagine going from “don’t say anything bad about Newsom 3 years before the primary or else trump will win” to “don’t engage in civics by asking the governor that represents you to sign laws that have been passed by two state houses and will improve your life or else you’re helping fascism”

It’s so fucking funny that we’re still getting five NYT op-eds a week calling for the left to tone down their rhetoric

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

it's so cool that everything is Bluetooth now instead of pluggin in a cable and hearing stuff in my ears, i get to mess with all the settings, restarts my PC a few times, make sure everything is correct, then sit there wondering why audio is coming out my laptop speakers ANYWAY

"A transgender Mexican national held in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Louisiana has told Newsweek that he endured months of physical and emotional abuse in federal custody, beginning long before President Donald Trump was sworn in." That last bit

pack the fucking supreme court. 50 new justices, or maybe 100.

I cannot stress enough, fuck this dead-eyed bigoted opportunist. This media whitewashing of Newsom's own campaigns of hate are exactly how we got Trump.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

This is it. Cancel culture, but for real. The Twitter Files, but for real. Actual, unadulterated collusion between the government and media-owning corporations to censor Americans. Shame on the MAGA libertarians and fake-heterodox civility cops who helped pave this road to authoritarianism.
