i would like someone to write a detailed guide for what the left can do to prevent newsom or his ilk (but esp newsom) from getting the nomination, when the democratic party and primary system is clearly set up to make that happen. we came so close with bernie. how can we succeed today?

“the other side will always fight back” is a very simple truth that seems out of the cognitive reach of trump’s republican party

this is actually perfectly structured because you get to take three and you think "ah yes, hmmm, I wouldn't have said that personally" then take four hits you out of nowhere like a cartoon mallet

“Defectors must have a place in the progressive movement” my brother in Christ you have a place and it’s way at the back of the line. If you have truly changed you will not come around here giving advice to everybody who has been fighting *you* for the rights of women and minorities until yesterday.

they should make an infowars for ladies. Wominfowars. a place where we can finally speak candidly about female issues, like how seed oils made me disobey my husband

The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!! Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on! I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT

Every AI commercial is like "Hey AI, what goes good on a sandwich?" and then the AI is like "Have you considered... cheese?" And then the narrator is like: THE FUTURE IS HERE.

for a long time is was weird bc we have such piss poor investment in public K-12 education but such impressive public universities, but don’t worry, they’re eagerly dismantling the universities now.

Not many people know this, but the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is responsible for making sure the coal industry is never inconvenienced. Pretty sure it's part of the oath he swore.

i had to pull a tick off my leg the other night and now my body is so hyperaware of every single sensation on my skin as “POSSIBLE TICK” that it really feels like the simplest solution would be to flay it all off and start over.

WHAT!!

Rep. Bonamici: How can you spend HHS's limited resources and taxpayer money on a video of yourself drinking milk in a hot tub with Kid Rock? RFK: "I would have no idea… So many people have come up to me who saw that video and say that inspired me to work out."

COMPLAINT: i was trying to watch RRR yesterday, in an effort to expose myself to new types of cinema/CGI tigers, and the *only version* i could find, on any streamer, was a dub! how is this possible?

Péter Magyar victory speech: "We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others." He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

ah yes, the four races.

Justin Theroux keep taking roles There’s nothing beneath him if he sees the art in it.

wow this kind of blew up, so while i have your attention there’s something I’d like to say: not enough credit has been given to smashmouth’s “walkin’ on the sun” for its searing indictment of how baby boomers betrayed their ideals and left the mess for their children to clean up.

call him whatever you want, but this is clearly mr clean in witness protection.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

First, the good news. The bathwater has been disposed of.

well if anyone can do justice to some of tolkien’s eeriest, most powerful chapters, and capture the ineffable feeling that you’re touching the edges of a vast, clouded map of myth and history, it’s him. (unfortunately, no one can do that and i am pretty sure This Is Going To Suck.)

crafting headlines is one of the hardest parts of internet writing; a delicate dance between your taste, values, and priorities. stripping that work away from people is fucking appalling to anyone who has he ever done it.

even wes anderson would blush at this title

obviously don’t want to underplay the significance of a global economic meltdown, but it is so weird to see how much of the coverage (including opposition coverage!) is focused solely on that and not, you know, the murder.

This show is the rare case where I have suggested to people to tough out the first two episodes. I usually say life is too short to suffer for pop art. But by the end of season 1 I was having an absolute ball. Genuinely excited for season 2.

sometimes it feels like a critical mass of people got a secret memo that said “stop trying.”

so…is the assertion here that *anyone* living in iran will “most likely be killed?”

you know if she really believed that shit she wouldn’t still be dieting and getting hair extensions

scenes from a sunday: playing the most hardcore german techno we can find to try and scare the squirrels out of our attic.

holy shit louis theroux comes off as such a prick in this guardian interview—at multiple points scolding the (female) interviewer for not asking him better questions. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

1. trump is not a “hypocrite.” 2. he has been extremely consistent that his definition of “most peaceful president” is “president who stops most wars.” 3. when he ran out of existing wars he could claim to stop, he was obliged to come up with a creative, out-of-the-box solution.

"Everyone is 12" theory remains undefeated. At this point, I think there might literally be a 7th grade boy running White House comms.

Anyone who's navigated ob market last 18 months could tell you this is indeed current state of things, but whew boy have we been gaslit by breathless reports about the booming stock market, which is entirely driven by AI, a technology precisely engineered to destroy as many human jobs as possible

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

When you click the "beautify slide" AI feature in Google Slides. NOT A JOKE

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

irony died a while back, but at this moment its ashes were scattered into the ocean

i do think this frenzy to accomplish longtime GOP regime change goals is a good indicator that he’s dying. this is basically their supermarket spree.

Markwayne is actually a noble title, and is the Oklahoma equivalent to "Marquis," and may be passed on at the same time your father gives you his car dealership

honestly I ignore everything that comes after because I don't actually think you're the brave truth teller you think you are if you're scared to say words because of a rumour that the app will limit your views

like, obviously we have always been at the mercy of vast, impersonal forces our entire lives, but is anyone feeling acutely *tossed out to sea by the tides of history* lately?

has anyone else noticed that no one in their personal lives is even talking about iran? no one at work has mentioned it all week, hasn’t come up with family, it’s like this hole in the floor we’re all just silently walking around.
