Well, Iran is sure as shit winning the propaganda war

An unaccounted for part of the economy is how much young people virulently hate AI, despite how aggressively it's being forced on them. They realize it's making their friends dumber and ruining the world and they want nothing to do with it. From the Penn student paper: www.thedp.com/article/2026...

ICE officers getting paid for standing around doing nothing while TSA employees work without pay is a pretty succinct summation of where we're at right now

The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them. Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?

Bessent is the weirdest motherfucker in a pile of the weirdest motherfuckers on earth

These dipshits have the energy of prep school legacies who got caught with empty beer cans on the senior ski trip “It’s not that big a deal and whatcha gonna do about it???” is their vibe towards disemboweling America’s infrastructure

Okay, now do the US

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

I’ve been deeply depressed lately (*shocker!*) and all I’ve wanted to listen to is Stone Temple Pilots. This situation seems untenable

23 years old today

Extremely annoying how much Rage Against The Machine I’m having to listen to as an adult

Every bit of our current reality is impossible to grasp. The racist president's secret police kidnapped a girl, but the doddering old man was convinced to free her by our mayor who used to be a rapper called Mr. Cardamom. What will tomorrow bring

With both NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE and STRIP LAW, I’ve been cry-laughing through the darkest depths of this winter

A+ State of the Union counterprogramming by TCM.

“Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, was shot by an ICE Homeland Security Investigations officer in South Padre Island, Texas, on March 15, 2025, after what ICE described as a failure to follow law enforcement instructions during a traffic incident.” www.newsweek.com/ice-agent-fa...

RIP

NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE is so fucking funny, but I’m caught off guard by how it’s also genuinely inspiring and empowering

I saw someone say, “Emerald Fennell is Greta Gerwig’s Wario,” and I haven’t stopped laughing 😭

shop the look

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

They should definitely bring back The Muppet Show full time. They should totally let Tim Robinson host an episode where he gets clowned by the gang and screams at them a bunch

Rooting for America at the Olympics this year feels borderline psychotic. I, for one, am hoping we get our asses roundly stomped by the smallest, weirdest countries imaginable

Mamdani announces a new executive order protecting New Yorkers from "abusive immigration enforcement," including requiring ICE to have a judicial warrant to enter NYC property

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

One of the big problems of modernity is that posting is instantaneous and politics very much isn’t and instead of working on their patience people fall into despair when things don’t happen as fast as they think it should

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

On top of all the obvious legendary comedy she did, Catherine O’Hara also starred in a hallmark Tales From The Crypt ep. RIP youtu.be/eMRzGFbxazo?...

Darren Aronofsky can eat my whole ass

“It will often be necessary for you to phone up your Reps and tell them they are sniveling, cowardly worms who are betraying the public trust,” was not something that was covered in any of my government/civics classes, but here we are

@schumer.senate.gov Nope! Do better

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

Holy hell, what a remarkable badass

"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.

They say everyone should have guns. And that it’s our right to have them. And scream and fight for the right to carry them. Then the moment they shoot you as you lie unarmed on the ground with five men in your back, they say it’s because you carried a gun.

Fuck nazis, hang out in gin joints

Minnesota is the best of us.

Minneapolis says no to ICE.

Throw bags of vomit on these evil fuckers for the rest of their god-forsaken lives

Buncha worms running the Democratic Party

It’s our duty to make sure everyone related to ICE in any way feels haunted every single day for the rest of their pathetic, putrid lives

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Rewatched TAXI DRIVER and realized that today’s Travis Bickle would for sure be an ICE agent, or maybe a local police officer. Same rants, just with a tactical vehicle and a government issued firearm instead of an empty cab

ICE agents are, simply put, fucking clowns. Some observations from four days on the ground in Minneapolis. www.garbageday.email/p/we-re-all-...

I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Whenever people start with this I’m reminded of Daniel Shaver, who was shot while he was unarmed and on all fours by a cop who was CONDUCTING TRAINING for green officers at the time. Simply saying “more training is the answer” misses the crux of the problem

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.
