"fugly" is a legal play in Wordle

We've joked for years about how posting isn't activism but now that the government is a gang of social media-obsessed fascists it actually is

We wanted to understand how rugged English-Scots-Irish culture has shaped America. So we talked to three white South African billionaires at a sex party in the Bahamas.

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

That hand don't pass the sniff test:

Attaboy! That's my hometown right there.

That's weird, she just told me that she didn't even race today.

Better than I could ever put it myself:

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

The cringiness of the email alone is pure Marco. No need for unredactions.

Siri, express my glands

new Bluesky tagline just dropped

On top of all the utterly horrifying shit, rich people appear to be just barely literate, which explains a few things

“Revolutions Are Built on Hope. That's Why I Believe Myanmar's Protesters Will Succeed” I wrote these words just after the military coup in Myanmar that took place exactly five years ago and I still believe those words today (🧵) time.com/5953413/myan... #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

New banality of evil just dropped

Why did we buy a monkey paw with so many fingers!?

You know who’s not in the Epstein files? Undocumented immigrants Drag queens Trans people The poor, unhoused, marginalized and disabled The people you’ve been taught to hate weren’t involved in the sex trafficking ring. The billionaires were. The wealthy. The ruling class.

y'all if you wanna have an argument about open borders you need a better one then "but what if all the brown people come here after we fuck up their countries"

Oh fuck yes

"Replacing Greg Bovino with Tom Houman is like shitting your pants and changing your shirt." -- somebody cleverer than me

"You have to admit that it's a bit suspicious that insurgencies keep springing up everywhere we're trying to occupy" - Guy who claims Art of War as his favorite book.

There's another way to look at this. ICE is doing everything the military manual tells you not to do to civilian populations because it creates insurgencies where none existed before.

If you’re on the ground, it is absolutely unmistakable what they’re doing. Bovino has gone to multiple gas stations, with a massive convoy, gotten out of the car, and strolled into the street and posed for ten minutes at a time. No gas, no food, no bathroom. Just over and over in sequence.

Next up: Trump issues an executive order ordering McDonalds to sell Shamrock Shakes through July each year. "Men have come up to me with tears in their eyes asking me to do this," Trump said aboard AF1 the other day.

No one protects libertine 'expressive conduct' absolutism anymore...

Needed this sentence last week when an old friend accused me of performative outrage for calling the fascists fascist.

It's really convinced me that fascism stems from some core psychological characteristic and all we have to do to eliminate fascism is learn to clinically identify that characteristic and excise those people from political society

Need to put this on a sign so I can grind my finger to dust tapping it.

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights. We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs. Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

a few things I want people to get from this: -how tense it is here. I was death-gripping the steering wheel during this, even watching it makes me tense up -how organized the community is. the rapid response networks are ENORMOUS and highly effective -how completely the city is united against ICE

we're watching you everywhere ;)

when you're definitely for sure a good guy assured of the righteousness of what you're being paid to do 🙄

What did I say.

“The video, which appears to be a video, contains people saying and doing things we can neither confirm nor deny which may or may not prove or disprove or neither previous claims made by various people we are a serious newspaper.”

when does vance show up in a bellhop outfit

It is important to remember that this whole thing could have been avoided if Maduro would have just purchased a few million Trump coins.

This, from @rgoodlaw.bsky.social in 2019, is important background to the congressional discussion we're about to see. www.justsecurity.org/63635/barrs-...

DOJ is still in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

In an 1829 letter, Simon Bolívar (VZ’ George Washington) wrote: “The United States appear to be destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty.”

For everything else about Trump, it's remarkable how similar his natsec process is to George W. Bush. It's seemingly almost entirely driven by an insular and small group of people with pathological fixations on working informally to steer all American policy toward their decades-long grievances.

Useful to think of the U.S. as a petro-state in which fossil fuel interests have captured both a major political party and large swaths of the country to advance their industry and undermine clean energy competition, from nuclear to solar. thehill.com/policy/energ...

For example, obviously one can be very critical of Israel and/or support opening the Epstein files without being an anti-Semite (lots of Jews are both) but if these are the ONLY ways that Marjorie “Space Lasers” Taylor Greene breaks with the right, it might not be that she’s becoming more moderate.

Don't root for murderers, even if they murder assholes.
