ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

That Naked Gun 2025 villain basically sums up a lot of the real-life villains we have to deal with. Perfectly.

His macho manosphere tech bro bullshit being entirely fake is the subtlest running joke in that movie

The end of the recent Naked Gun movie where the villain has been spouting on about the most worthy to survive and then crumples after one punch and whines “you hit me”

The Handmaid's Tale was based on events that actually happened, mostly to BIPOC. It was an important part of the novel that it was inspired by real history. The fictional part was to change the setting and victims (white westerners).

People who don’t know or care about justice *for others* cannot comprehend the moral authority wielded by the victims of injustice. They dimly guess that this authority is rooted not in justice, but in victimhood. So they seek to usurp it thru competitive displays of indignation.

Okay! So, "Samurai Gatebreaker" will have a new mascot and an official icon of sorts! ...yes it's just a samurai version of my current icon. But hey, it's a step forward! And I love working with this artist as she has done amazing work!

Reposting a thread from a month ago. For reasons pertaining to current news events, in case you missed it and aren't fully understanding what we're seeing right now. Understand what folks at Nexstar and Sinclair are doing. They want to kill OTA broadcast networks and go all-news.

If you try to force your autistic child to take a quack cure so they stop being autistic, then don't be surprised when they spend the rest of their life relating to you as a person who only loves them conditionally.

It's wonderful when two sociopaths with the mindset of serial killers find each other.

Call me old fashioned, but aren’t both parts of this relationship currently, uh, married to other people?

The American people: 1) Elected as Barack Obama's successor a man who openly questioned his citizenship 2) Elected him back into power after fumbling a once-in-a-century pandemic, crashing the economy, leading an insurrection, and via a coalition of MALE VOTERS & an overtly Transphobic ad campaign

It’s pretty funny that Eminem became a guy who would be really excited to vote for Mayor Pete. It’s like he received the exact opposite energy Kanye got. He’s probably at home in a comfy chair reading a John le Carre novel right now.

True fusion food happens first in Iowa!

A searing investigation from @maxblau.bsky.social: how the H-2A visa, billed as a ticket to opportunity, has instead become a pipeline to "modern-day slavery."

The guy on the right is trying hard not to march in step, but John Williams isn’t making it easy for him.

Well I'll be, the Guardian is finally starting to get the story right - Graham Linehan prosecuted not for "gender ideology" but because he relentlessly harassed and physically assaulted a 17 year old girl for being trans.

We all know what factors he weighed. “Does it sound cool?”

Would John Bolton's being harassed by Trump 2's be connected to this coming out now? Nobody is commenting, even to deny it: bsky.app/profile/reic...

This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The entire thing went sideways within minutes of landing when they noticed a fishing boat near the beach. They killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies to cover their tracks, and fled. Congress was never told.

When Piracy historians feel the need to note "Even the notorious pirates were hanged for less", we're in quite the place...

Or if pardoning them helps him gain and keep power somehow. As @nick-carmody.bsky.social once said, everything Trump does is in service to his narcissism: bsky.app/profile/nick... /2

TFG might view them all in the same way as Jan 6 'crusaders': xenophobia in service to the country if it benefits him. Ask: how does the president benefit by pardoning his lieutenants or those carrying out his whims? If hanging them out to dry is the least cost to himself, he's likely to do it. /1

While Trump is almost certainly immune from criminal liability for the Venezuela strike, and he’ll surely grant pardons to Rubio and Hegseth, what about all the soldiers involved in this extrajudicial murder? Will they get pardons? Or might they be charged with international crimes?

You may have noticed: American politicians are really old. You may not know that American politicians are exceptionally old compared to other democracies. Congratulations, USA: we are the world's most advanced gerontocracy. American exceptionalism, indeed. open.substack.com/pub/leedrutm...

You had your chance to remove and bar him from the presidency after Jan 6. And you chickened out.

Crow T. Robot said trans rights

KPop Demon Hunters has now reached "major athlete referencing it" level of popularity. It is safe to say it's in the mainstream now.

🍉🇵🇸

The same graphics package, two different color sets. When you put them side by side, it's clear the color palette is the issue. When the colors are cool, it's perfectly fine. When it's Hot and Loud, it's way too damn much.

In the aftermath of Emmett Till's lynching, white supremacists called for federal troops to invade and occupy Chicago. "If the federal government intervenes in the interests of law enforcement anywhere, it should start in Chicago, crime capital extraordinary." h/t @larryglickman.bsky.social

How many lies can you fit into one sentence?

This explains it -- Venture Capital, thorough replacing health care via Theil's etc. biotech startups. techfascism.substack.com/p/venture-ca...?

Some people are sadists who intend to hurt others and when they're allowed into positions of power, they act accordingly. Which is what we're dealing with here.

LIVE from the historic 2300Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; this is #AEWCollision on TNT and streaming on HBO Max! Now, play that Sir Elton John!!

In Los Angeles, this should be done everywhere. The pics of Americans snatched by ICE Gestapo is being projected on the side of a detention center in Los Angeles. #iceout #losangeles #california

This is honestly worse than the cheating Coldplay CEO and I hope the internet embarrasses this chode. Literally stealing candy from a baby.

Reminder as we come into next year that you should only donate *directly* to the candidate of your choosing. Scrutinize everyone trying to get you to give them money. Make sure they aren't a PAC or affiliated with the DNC. Not one dime for the motherfuckers. Not one.

You took a (long) break from wearing a mask, right? You got away with it. But, guess what? There's a *lot* more Covid around again. And, access to vax is up in the air. Just put a (good) mask on again when you're out and about and you'll be much more protected as well as protecting others. ✨✨✨

Sums up America in 2025 pretty well I’d say

“The only real politics I knew was that if a guy liked Hitler, I’d beat the stuffing out of him and that would be it.” - Jack Kirby Happy birthday King

King of the Hill went back straight to Hulu and NOT broadcast on Fox and people talked about it - I don't just mean outlets that are supposed to talk about it, I mean actual people. So if genuinely great non-Crunchyroll anime get ignored, really: at what point do we ask what our excuse is?
