Lol this guy looks like he'd be a one-off character in a Yakuza sidequest who you'd have to help find his Roomba or something

I haven't read Lolita but I wonder if Garcia Marquez ever said anything like this about Love in the Time of Cholera It'd be a lot harder to justify because that book is told by a third-person omniscient narrator, not the protagonist

Just asking again: Is the Democratic Party going to take a loud public stance on whether we should go to war with Venezuela or no?

i swear to god in 15 years the rest of the world is going to look at the US like it's some backwards mountain kingdom still using mule-powered looms

“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

petro is so beast

Watching Children of the Whales I'm on the third episode and I'm bugged by a few things, but the biggest is probably just a personal peeve of mine: They keep calling the girl from the other island "Lykos" even though she told them that's not her name Though admittedly she hasn't given them a name

FIVE HUNDRED MEN SACKED FOR REFUSING TO EVER CROSS A PICKET LINE THE VOICES DOWN THE AGES WARNING NEVER CROSS A PICKET LINE YOU MUST NEVER CROSS A PICKET LINE

A middle school boy created deepfake AI CSAM of his fellow classmate, a 13 year old girl. The girl pleaded with the school but they did nothing and instead put her on a bus with the perpetrator. She ended up hitting him and was expelled but nothing happened to the boy. www.wsaw.com/2025/11/12/g...

This is apropos of nothing but: am i crazy or were music videos in the oughts just *obsessed* with using terrible CGI

watching a playthrough of VtM: Bloodlines and they got to Zulo Shape, which if I remember right is the boss that popped me in the air at the beginning of the fight, making me land on a platform that neither he nor I could otherwise reach I spent the entire boss fight up there taking potshots at him

This is far worse than anyone expected. Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps. All as mass internment camps are being built.

Re LRT It's funny to think that the downfall (or at least a significant blow) to MAGA might be true-believers like Mace and Greene and Boebert becoming disillusioned with the increasingly impossible to ignore fact that Trump is exactly the kind of evil they believed the left to be

I am deliriously laughing at the image of Boebert facing dawning revelation that she's actually found the pedophile elite conspiracy ring and that she's standing right in the middle of it

Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

Hair-raising story by @attackerman.bsky.social with new documents showing that a detained journalist is being held by ICE for his Instagram likes.

As I have said before, the broader silence on the ethnic pogrom of terror across this country is one of those things you can’t help noticing from the loudest special boy politics knowers on here.

Congress is like "we aren't giving enough reasons to make people hate us… let's pick a random person enjoying themselves and hurt them"

My last word on the matter

Free speech except if you’re pro-Palestinian or didn’t like Charlie Kirk

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

Okay that's hilarious but also why are they using the Che Guevara color scheme on a photo of the richest capitalist in the world

Don’t think ppl understand the terror the Feds are unleashing on the streets of LA right now. Roving patrols targeting vulnerable individuals. It’s horrible. There’s no one coming to save us except ourselves.

“New York Times conducts hostile interview with children’s education influencer questioning her recognition of comprehensively documented war crimes” is not a sentence I could have imagined a few years ago

When the Conservative Party in Korea declared martial law, the Korean Democrats knew if they didn’t send them to hell there would be no opposition afterwards. And look at them. They’re taking the ex conservative president and ensuring he never breathes free ever again.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Oh yeah, nobody was worried about healthcare premiums before you came on the scene, Dick Fucking resign already

BROOKLYN WE ARE GOING TO CHUCKS! Join us across from 9 PPW at 8:30 *tonight* Bring pots and pans, let’s make some noise about Chuck folding (again). Not another #SchumerSurrender @indivisible.org @riseandresist.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

Well I seriously doubt it means anything at this stage but I left messages for both of my senators imploring them not to vote for this CR well one of the messages was closer to a threat to get to removed from office but that's what happens when you don't rehearse

Every disaffected Dem & swing focus group we do begins with people asking what's real. They hear, at times, this is authoritarian takeover threatening lives & livelihoods. But perceive most "leaders" not acting as if this were so.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.” aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Apropos of nothing, I've been replaying Ocarina of Time And I know this is cliche, but man do I hate the Water Temple Also I love how Ruto's like, "follow me!" and then fuckin disappears I'm cancelling our engagement bitch

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake. The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

Seriously, how are they SO bad at this You'd think that the sheer number of years most of these people have been doing this job would make them at least somewhat competent Things like this are why there are conspiracy theories about Dems being secretly complicit with the Republican agenda

I've said this before but one of the things that strikes me about the second Trump administration is how incredibly petty it is

Brb going to go build a house out of shirts I bought at Walmart

This is the epitome of a First World Problem but it really bugs me seeing fan art of a character that completely ignores what that character is like I remember when Elden Ring first came out and everyone was drawing Ranni and 99% of them seemed unaware that she's a doll, not a busty blue human

every sunday, from pulpits in megachurches across america, white evangelicals cry out about some imaginary persecution of christianity. but i can’t stop thinking about the pile of rosaries collected by a janitor at a border crossing or the priest turned away at the gates of the detention camp.

BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

If and when we get rid of these fascists one of the first orders of business needs to be imprisoning every single motherfucker who worked at one of these facilities
