There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.

Brought to you by the largest single funder of Republicans ever. Every single Republican must be made to answer for this.

seriously i have soooo much meaner shit to say to those punks than what they harassed parker off here for.

parker molloy has been a brave, funny, honorable force for trans rights and good politics on the internet for AGES. she carried the torch when it was a guttering candle. she carried it in the rain. the brats who chased her off here are just dime a dozen clout chasers.

Every fucking IT admin in the world is going to be inundated with "what happened to Office I can't find it" and I'm sure that's going to help keep that bubble inflated.

"you can easily see its ai. theres nothing to worry about" are the words of an AI CEO trying to stop a torch-wielding crowd from marching on the datacenters

this exactly. the amount i pay to use kagi as my search engine is *dwarfed* by the time i save not scrolling through garbage results, and you can’t put a price on the joy i feel at not engaging with google.

i’m seeing a lot of smart people explain why venezuelan oil is not worth the proverbial squeeze, but also seeing the trump admin clearly say that they’re giving the country as a present to our big beautiful oil companies, and what i haven’t seen is anyone who can square that circle.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

literally breathtaking—this smug, strident jingoism is straight out of the era of teddy roosevelt

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago

Good example of what every elected Dem and candidate should be saying loudly right now:

The people who profited most from the cancel culture/free speech panic were less interested in actual freedom of speech than establishing their own control over public discourse. You don't even have to take my word for it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

We can live without billionaires but billionaires cannot live without us, in the same way that a body can live without cancer, but cancer cannot live without a body.

I've been thinking about this sign for 6 months. a phrase I'll treasure forever. a metaphor with boundless potential

this legit looks like a still from a paw patrol movie

I don't think free speech on campus ought to mean that a young coddled bigot gets to use their ignorance to casually destroy the career of a knowledgeable trans person on a random Wednesday

NEW: I spoke with half a dozen migrants who said ICE misled them with promises of a $1,000 "exit bonus" that never came. The company handling the payments? Linked to a former State Dept official. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

we, as a society, need to get on the same page about a basic norm. the last days before holiday vacation are for: 1. tying up loose ends 2. going to meetings in a festive sweater/hat 3. saying “let’s circle back in the new year” NOT sprinting toward self-imposed deadlines or launching new projects.

I fucking loathe these smug ass art-hating self-congratulating ghouls & the system that allows them to fail upwards into unfathomable wealth on the backs of 1000s of overworked creative people whose livelihoods get passed around like trading cards every time these dillwads have a stonks circle-jerk.

this isn’t *good* for johnson, but IMO the rumblings of his imminent demise are overblown. the first cracks might be showing in the GOP, but the dam is a long way from bursting, and until it does, johnson is actually very good at projecting calm and normalcy and playing dumb when needed.

sorry but “keeping a bottle of champagne in the back of your closet for when it happens” is incredibly bad form. true patriots keep it in the fridge.

A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Capt. Jones and I'll be your pilot today and, uh damn that's a lot of buttons. That's a lot of fucking buttons

what did you expect, it wasn’t called american cano

putting on my hard hat, stubbing my cigarette out with toe of my boot, and heaving a deep sigh as i set the “days since i last cried at my desk” calendar back to zero.

When I look around at sweaty men at the gym, I always think about how I would like to be on an airplane next to them immediately

anyone else crying a lot at christmas songs because the last time you heard them was a year ago before trump took office and hearing them again makes you aware the crushing weight of despair you’ve added a pound to every day since then, and which makes songs about hope and peace unbearably poignant?

Whoever designed the FIFA trophy seems to be unclear on the single most basic rule in soccer

🎸🎶 her face is a map of the world, is a map of the world, you can see she’s a map of the world, a female map of the world. suddenly i see, her eyes are the philippines, suddenly i see, why the atlas is so hot to me 🎶

i don’t know who has the power to make this happen, but on monday, someone needs to make jimmy fallon and isaac chotiner touch an enchanted gemstone at the exact same time.

Watch til the end. How has no one asked her this before www.youtube.com/shorts/yhhWj...

obviously trump will hand a pardon to anyone who slips him five bucks under the table. but i think he also genuinely, sincerely objects to elite accountability as a concept, and that transcends party lines for him.

i simply could not have anticipated that “rage” and “dread” would be feelings i just walk around with all the time as a working adult living in the richest country in the world.

Increasingly tech is seeking to solve for the problem "humans exist," which is what you'd expect to see in a system where humans are seen as a cost and not a value.

“I was just following otters.”

happy holiday season to my favorite bit of corporate copy: the imaginary conversation on the back of the bailey’s bottle.

For my american comrades visiting their old parents this weekend

"If you keep Orshansky’s logic—if you maintain her principle that poverty could be defined by the inverse of food’s budget share—but update the food share to reflect today’s reality, the multiplier is no longer three. "It becomes sixteen."
