I'm not certain how British media managed to find such an absolutely corrosive bunch of columnists, but it really is a particularly vile crop nowadays.

First they came for the Communists, and I thought that was awesome because they're kind of annoying and I'm a mere trade unionist, they won't come for me.

the dumbest fucks in the world.

Here's a story about his death www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

oh these were a feature of some Chinese train stations in, like, 2004.

the complete lack of backbone from numerous - though not all - academic institutions has been one of the biggest disappointments of the Trump 2 era.

This is a dangerous game, cats have the morality of a GOP congressman, but also the ability to think and remember.

It bothers me how nobody seems to understand that this, trans people getting booted out of the military without their contractually obligated benefits, etc. is ultimately about if the promises of the government are worth a goddamn thing as long as the Republican Party exists.

No, Semafor, I assure you, liberals are aware and appalled. Reinstating COVID-19 refusals - the most relentlessly stupid, selfish Americans alive - is a direct attack on American military readiness and basic order and discipline. It’s second only to the January 6th pardons in its rank recklessness.

The ADL deciding screaming at college students was more important than stopping people like this from getting anywhere near influence in the most powerful country in the world was a very obvious and humongous mistake. Ernst Thälmann level political judgement.

Now do I think the ADL could have stopped Trump getting elected no, but do I think they should have at least done everything they could to stop it, yes.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

it is weird how he's only referred to as The Third CEO by employees.

i'm not saying they have a type but these are all the Costco CEOs there have ever been:

it's ok I hear the administration has an antisemitism task force

I think strikes are locked in and what debate there is is probably about dumb special ops shit.

I feel like the bot account stumbled into something here.

I understand that people love the heroic furry larceny of D&D, Andy I understand why, but the appeal to me of nasty, brutish, short and muppet-centric nature of WF is so superb to me.

update: the little shit pushed my potato salad off the table, the cycle of violence continues

This is bigotry, pure and simple. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

Do the New York Times’ editors have any awareness of how badly they’re failing this country? They write a whole story about how Trump is trying to rig the midterms and then they call the Democrats’ fears that he’s trying to rig the midterms “downright alarmist.” What the hell are they doing? 1/4🧵

my warhammer group's main strategy for reaching the nobility in POWER BEHIND THE THRONE has been successfully convincing the people of Middenheim that they have a pig that can prophesy the future.

i really do think slavery education suffers from an this catch-22 where we teach it too early to get into any of the real shit, but by the time kids are old enough for the real shit they've already heard about slavery a half-dozen times and don't care anymore

any of those snowballs could have contained a rock, resulting in innocent police officers transforming into fool-saint figures in a backwoods Canadian town

the commercial world, even at vast scale, doesn't have to be like it is the historical puzzle for me is why it's become so parasitic and exploitative, especially in the West, given that there are other practices and traditions we need more than simple explanations (class, greed) to truly fix this

My new video with Mayor Mamdani just dropped 📼 Our partnership has shown that politics doesn’t have to be sour or ego-driven. It can be a team sport in pursuit of values and our hopes. ⬇️

Axios CEO Jim VandeHei leaves no doubt who he is rooting for. This is not "news" - this is a press release. www.axios.com/newsletters/... PS: Jim (along with all the right-wing leaning corporate media elites) just may look beyond stupid when the numbers come in this November.

this looks like a minor Kennedy cousin who is two years away from a horrifying sex scandal

hate this in general but also what is Labour doing to reopen women's shelters? what is Labour doing to make sure conviction rates for rapes start going up again? what is Labour doing to make sure women feel they can trust the police? what is Labour doing to stop sexual harassers?

Shrinking is maybe the worst portrayal of therapy I've ever seen, which is remarkable given how bad the general depiction on TV is.

every so often I remember that Orban and his party were originally "the Alliance of Young Democrats" orientated around representing the new generation of post-Communist Hungarians.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

oh for fuck's sake.

I will also note that none of these "books" anywhere on the product pages note that they are AI-generated. They are being sold by the "author" and Amazon as real books.

AI slop is everywhere on Amazon, but especially in children's books. I was looking for something else when this popped up in the sponsored books. 1/

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Lo, 'tis THE DUNGEON BOOK cover! The Jungle Book meets Dungeons and Dragons with a dash of Pan's Labyrinth in this gleefully fun standalone fantasy narrated by a sentient skull, in which a small girl is thrown to a dungeon full of monsters, who decide to raise her rather than eat her. 11th August!

This is what kills me. You can have all the Substack commentary and AI podcasts you want. But at the end of the day, *someone* has to go talk to people, read documents and find out what actually happened on the ground. Someone with rent, a car note and medical bills, no less.

Tucker Carlson's actual son Buckley, meanwhile, has a nepobaby job as a staffer for JD Vance. His father attempted to get Hunter Biden to help get him into college.

It doesn't help that the game sort of gestures at the idea of a new order - not necessarily one without gods, but one where the gods have to make amends for their various wrongs & redress others' hurts - and then balks at it. Still pissed at the ending of Arachne's quest.

watching a guy with 8.8M subscribers put out this propaganda: there's a transnational far-right power grab and you're not ready for it

Rest in peace, Nurul Shah Alam. His blood is on border patrol's hands. www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

Breaking: A blind Burmese refugee named Nurul Shah Alam has been missing since Thurs. after Border Patrol agents dropped him off at a Tim Hortons, leaving him to find his own way home. His family & lawyers weren't notified. They're seeking help to find him. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/24/b...

it's fair to judge Democratic leadership on what they do; having your view of them fixed by anonymous claims about what they're considering doing or might have done is not a good idea.

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

the problem is that the Hades 2 narrative is fundamentally misguided. Hades did - very well! - a narrative about family reconciliation and loss in which the ultimate solution was greater understanding of each other. Hades himself is a bad and distant father, not a monster.

Yaxley-Lennon was at the State Department today.

It’s not true that vaccines only reduce severity. Vaccines significantly reduce transmission, as well as the risk of long COVID.

steam: would you like to try this new turn-based squad tactics game? me: sure, sounds neat steam: you control the girls of the Waifu Hitler Loli Military Academy ...

Have heard some of the terms of these prediction market x entertainment product deals and it's shocking that they cracked down because these are basically set up to be gamed.
