as an adult and accomplished person who has succeeded at several important things in life, whenever i am challenged with a new dilemma, i like to take two steps back, gather my breath and say "are you fuckin kidding me right now, what the fuck"

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Destroying USAID will go down in history as one of the worst Trump foreign policy decisions in 2025. USAID needed reform, not dissolution. China didn't shut down its Belt & Road Initiative (BRI). Unilateral disarmament is not a rational strategy for competing with China.

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonelye. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye yf nobody ys arounde. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

Look dog The best time to have left Twitter was when Elon took over. The second best time was when he unbanned all the alt right accounts The third best time was when he promoted alt right accounts The fourth best time was when he started paying alt right accounts The fifth best time was wh

“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons said. The goal, he said, was to deport immigrants as efficiently as Amazon moves packages: “Like Prime, but with human beings.” They could tattoo bar codes on them. You know, for efficiency. wapo.st/4axtwZ4

Telling a child that Santa isn't real is one of the hardest things about being a party clown

I think it’s a reflection of their own attitudes. Both Biden and they were trying to live in a fantasy where those 4 years were a return to normalcy as opposed to the most urgent moment in American history to preserve what was left of democracy.

Ugh. Imagine being stationed on the USS Pedophile…

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

If you're a staffer at 60 Minutes who worked on that CECOT segment that got yanked by Bari Weiss at the last minute, figure out a way to leak it. Not saying it's an easy decision or there won't be consequences, but ask yourself why you got into journalism in the first place.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

"The suppression of evidence ought always to be taken for the strongest evidence." — Andrew Hamilton, 1734

Utah Sen. Mike Lee has proposed changes to the Senate appropriations bill that could open the door for the sale of national parks, according to national park advocacy groups. via @thatsmohrlikeit.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/national-par...

it is a noteworthy shift that Bush et al felt the need to lay like two years of groundwork to justify invading Iraq on WMD grounds and Trump is just saying "Venezuela's oil is our rightful property" and sending in the Navy

American Nazis training for civil war

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke

This entire weekend

Rob Reiner was an acclaimed actor & director but he was also a vocal critic of Trump He warned the American public that they only had a year to save their democracy That year is almost up Honour his legacy by fighting fascism. Fight for democracy. Fight for what’s right. Fight against tyranny.

Trying to imagine what it'd take for me to yell at a server. Like if I ordered an omelette and they brought me a bowl of rats? But I'd probably still just be like "I'm sorry, you seem to have brought me someone else's bowl of rats."

so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings. insanity.

Scientists now believe that the human brain--a magic goo for worrying--can also be used to do other things

Christmas in the era of weed gummies

You guys better kick it up a notch. I'm thinking about going to the "discover" page for my entertainment. You wouldn't like me when I go to the "discover" page.

2-3 ..To them, the state is just something to sell. They do not care if the buyers are foreign or domestic. The United States of America is merely a landmass to split into oligarch fiefdoms. It inspires no sentimentality and requires no veneration...

I give it six months before he’s donning a military uniform and giving four-hour speeches from balconies.

What sticks out to me is how absolutely unafraid of prosecution this psychopath is. Part of it is narcissistic personality disorder, but it's mostly the perceived weakness of Democrats. Should they retake power, no one expects Democrats to hold anyone accountable.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela. If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.

The only reason to have the military in D.C. is to increase tensions and antagonize people to the point they over-react, creating "justification" for increasing crackdowns on innocent people. It's all a con.

deep respect to anyone expecting the Stranger Thing finale(s) to be in any way satisfying, your optimism is a rare and beautiful thing

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

whatever LLM wrote this needs to calm down

😂😂😂

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with: -No casus belli -No authorization from Congress -No allies or international support -No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela -No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Crockett on MTG resigning: "Honestly, I was like, you got to be kidding. You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes."

Marjorie Taylor Greene came into Congress in 2021 worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later worth around $25,000,000. 😳 Congress is just a giant insider-trading scheme.

CNN: In the last couple of weeks or so, she's become kind of an ally on some issues. What do you make of this? Auchincloss: No, John, she hasn't.

An eyelid, but for the butthole.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

The whole thread, really, but I had to pick one repost:

Leavitt: Why aren't you talking about what these members of congress are doing to encourage violence…. They're literally saying to 1.3 million active duty service members not to follow lawful orders Reporter: Actually they said illegal orders.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Parents’ dog has a bad case of happy tail (wags her tail so hard that she keeps bashing it against walls and making it bleed) and today I tried putting a tail protector on her, as recommended by the vet. She stood as still as a statue and stared at me with the haunted eyes of a Victorian orphan

It’s pretty simple. When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.
