Discworld (1995)

MAGA flipped their shit and had Kimmel fired because he claimed that Robinson was one of their own. This feels so egregious when one considers that the Right has insisted that every mass shooter for the last several years is either a leftist and/or transgender.

linking arms with Bill Kristol and George W. Bush's campaign manager at the barricades and singing Bella Ciao loud enough that i have an aneurysm

The extreme, opportunistic, completely disingenuous reaction to Kirk's murder also makes clear that if there's an Oklahoma City or 9/11-level attack in the next few years, this administration will absolutely exploit it to try to end our democracy and permanently entrench itself in power.

It turns out that protecting hate speech did not create the conditions to protect other kinds of speech; instead, it protected hate and allowed hate movements to take over all the institutions of that might have defended the rest of us.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

thinking humanities are the problem when it comes to universities being punished under fascism is exactly why every STEM major desperately needs a humanities education.

Maybe I'm the last person to realize this, but Kennedy's behavior makes a hell of a lot more sense when you realize what he is: He's like a Born Again, but instead of Christianity, it's this weird anti-vax, "terrain-theory" adjacent worldview on health and medicine.

This is going around for some reason, just gonna point out that many studies have been done about porn addiction, held by researchers who believed in porn addiction, only to find that porn addiction is not real and never was. Turns out it was religion. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wome...

yes... ha ha ha... YES!!

How long before Grok starts using triple paratheses?

A president randomly dropping a slur for Jewish people during a rally would be bad by itself, but it's especially galling from an administration that has routinely deported migrants for criticizing Israel's actions in Gaza under the guise of "combatting antisemitism."

if they are putting the name on merch we should absolutely not be helping them popularize it call it what it is: a concentration camp run by nazis

Not sure if this is the BEST example we want to use, as the English Commonwealth was little than a military dictatorship, politically dysfunctional, and lasted all of 6 years before the Monarchy was Restored. Yeah, Charles was a complete bastard, but then, so was Oliver Cromwell.

Senator David Padilla should not have attempted to politicize DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference announcing that the federal government would liberate Los Angeles from socialism. Tomorrow in the New York Times

For the youngins, "Third World" was a Cold War term describing nations not fully aligned with western capitalist powers or communism. "Third World" described much of Africa as well as India, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, etc. When conservatives use it today, it means "non-white". bsky.app/profile/junl...

stephen miller won't see your posts about how he's a dickless homunculus made of bile and off-brand craft paste, who can only come by rubbing old Daughters of the Confederacy newsletters on his chest, but *i will* and i like them, so keep at it!

How much I want this marblemouthed hog to go to prison aside, it's a very specific type of dumb person who says "guess what" like this.

How long before we have a press briefing from Elon saying that his twitter was "hacked"?

Similarities between ICE & the Gestapo

Elon Musk wakes up, bleary and disoriented. "Grimes, I just had the weirdest dream..." he mutters as he rolls over to her. "Tell me all about it, Space Daddy," replies Stephen Miller's wife in bed beside him. "Yeah, tell her," comes Stephen's bitter voice from a chair in the semi-darkness.

State Department Plans to Launch ‘Office of Remigration.’ The idea of “remigration” has a troubling history; it originally comes from far-right, neo-Nazi circles in Europe and is typically used to advocate for the forced removal of migrants. www.thehandbasket.co/p/state-depa...

My mother has been writing erotic romance for decades, and MAN the stories she can tell you about what an up-hill battle that was in the 90s and 00's. There was constant infighting in RWA over it.

Stop Forcing A.I. Into Every Fucking Thing!

No birthright citizenship should not apply to white South Africans because they are, and this is the important part here, South Africans. Born in South Africa. Their kids born here though? Yeah, that’s what birthright citizenship means. You fuckin’ dipshit.

You joke, but I'm pretty certain that Thomas Nast did political cartoons in that theme.

Clearly, college protestors should mix in some comments about supporting AFD in order to throw Rubio off.

This is the only thing that could ever make me defend Caillou

I fucking love that duality. The idea of Kesh writing the absolute, most serene haiku, the type that would have Ghost of Tsushima music playing as she writes it And then a couple minutes later she’s teleporting into the throne room yelling “Think fast chuckle nuts!” while tossing a nuke

1/ Hey, remember how Trump whined back during the lead up to the 2024 election about his multiple indictments, calling them "election interference" as it was "impossible" for him to manage a successful defense while also running a presidential campaign?

I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch

If you answer yes, then I think Trump and the MAGA movement is stupid. Matters of geopolitics should not be affected by issues of fashion. If you answered no, then I think we agree that this is just a pretense. Trump's position on Ukraine is not about clothes. And MAGA follows whatever Trump says.

When Elon Musk’s Son Wants A Hug

The tech industry has become a nihilistic game of scams, hype bubbles, and enshittification. Worst of all, it's enabled the worst people in society to get unimaginably wealthy to the point they feel they no longer need to adhere to the social contract and seek to create a techno-feudal state.

I'm usually one of the bottom two depending on what I'm reading

[threatening a baby] here comes the airplane

Praying to Luigi in these times is common but I think we need to spread memes suggesting all of elon and trump and vance’s meals are poisoned. I’m interested to see how fast elon starts posting how his tiny child eats his food at every meal like when he used the kid as a Kevlar plate

Silicon Valley be all like "You didn't want to buy our monkey jpgs and conduct meetings with VR headsets, I guess we have no choice but to start WW3"

I haven't looked at every single EO that Trump has touted, but, has this new administration done ANYTHING that is beneficial? When you peel back the "protection" rhetoric of Trump's orders, none of them are built on anything but to inflict cruelty on their perceived enemies.

if you're STILL complaining about the left: 1 - the actual left has no institutional support or power 2 - many leftists working on actionable things are occupied trying to keep people the center abandoned alive 3 - are you maybe confusing "all leftists" with a poster who annoyed you one time?

My one hope is that when this trashfire of an administration comes in, it will be so grossly incompetent and dysfunctional, that they end up eating one another.
