no one ever gibbers in lucidity

his secretary of health and human services doesn't believe in the germ theory of disease, routinely tortures and mutilates animals, and probably drove his ex-wife to suicide

Gork is it good to make war plans on the assumption your enemy will obligingly make mistakes?

Another example of the same phenomenon; they are killing people so they can make videos of them killing people. There is not actually any policy that Venezuela or Colombia can enact to satisfy them, because the purpose is just content creation. Podcasters with the power of the Federal government.

you don’t hate the media enough

“For Jesus Christ, I am prepared to suffer still more.” -St. Maximillian Kolbe, to the guards outside his cell in Auschwitz

the past ten days have felt like the carbon monoxide detector isn’t working

One of the other great advantages of liberalism is that we're able to read graphs and so can notice that the share of humanity in extreme poverty has declined massively over the last 200 years.

There is just a huge swath of people who should’t be living and dying on granular congress day to day bullshit or really be following politics at all and in an earlier better time they didn’t and only do so now because it’s on their phone.

i will not be answering questions

Good, but stop using the word "graft". It sounds wonky and technical. "Tom Homan took bribes. Pam Bondi and Kash Patel covered it up. Why? Are they also for sale to the highest bidder? Maybe even foreign governments?"

Because I use FB primarily to see what Oregon right wingers are saying, it thinks I'm a 50-something white conservative. Because of this, my algorithmic FB timeline has been giving ever more intense, Radio Rwanda vibes this year.

once again all of these guys seem to believe that winning an election makes you sovereign and thus above the rule of law

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

The rap cover of ”Friend Like Me” ft. DJ Khaled that closes the live-action Aladdin is great! The whole movie should have been like that.

Also living in The Good Times (which the early 2020s were) let writers explore a whole world of other “punks”—chiefly solarpunk. We are now suffering a painful lesson that yes, it’s again worth talking about Things Are Bad

So You Hate Waffles Our panel is shown a post without context and must immediately assume the poster‘s politics and diagnose them with a psychological disorder

this is a lightbulb moment for everyone

We get the plot of Network about every month and a half now

A first-semester freshman at Auburn -- who has not even experienced one month as a student -- is demanding universities purge faculty members who dared to be critical of the man who created the Professor Watchlist. Calling college presidents & donors ... as one does their first month in college.

🎶 Pour, oh, pour the pirate sherry/fill, oh, fill the pirate glass 🎶

It’s the “Hamburger Helper” economy. Sales “up 14.5 percent .. “.. Distressed shoppers are also buying more cans of tuna, salmon and sardines.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/b...

If you’re ever in this position, please for the love of god use official letterhead to write a letter that, in whole or in part, reads: “So fire me, bitch.” You will still be able to find gainful employment after. People’s esteem and respect for you will increase.

there doesn't have to be a """""reckoning"""" for Biden. first off it continues the Dem pattern of just meat grindering anyone who tries to do Anything, and also everyday people have already forgotten he was ever president

Men only want one thing and it’s disgusting

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Do people, like, think the whole government stops during a shutdown? Do they think ICE goes home?

Chicago Pope where u at, one of your bishops is doing apostacy

People may mock this, but "Trump is trying to censor critics by getting late-night talk show hosts canceled" actually does seem to be breaking through. It's a pretty obvious thing that everyone can see!

The absolute bottom of the MAGA sewage pit is using pictures from the funerals of Ukrainian soldiers, while falsely claiming those are from Charlie Kirk memorials.

the long tail of the 'leaderless/hierarchy-less' fetish of the occupy protests have really been awful for leftwing protest movements ever since.

Charlie Kirk called for the execution of Joe Biden in 2023.

What does a ”win” even look like? We have a permanent Guantanamo-style enclave in the middle of nowhere, with zero allied/partner nation supply corridor?

Ezra Klein is a coward. Sorry, this isn't hard

I'm no expert but I think you're supposed to make these kinds of demands *before* you shoot the hostage

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

Here’s what a Ball State University employee said that led to their termination:

The actual radicalizing event that the right wing has been trying to meme into existence for the last week

sorry but at some point you have to stop being concerned about appearing cool and detached and actually start believing in things, even if it means defending the rights of stupid people like jimmy kimmel

Apparently in the original Scandinavian show Deal or No Deal is based on, people took the Banker’s first offer *all the time*. This *never* happens in the American show.

this is the thing, from top to bottom. we had maybe the best deal any country has had in history. our decline is a series of people voting to throw that away because they cannot understand that it is a good deal

it's a small thing right now but if the worst people in the country are upset by a failure to mourn properly they will collapse where they stand when the day comes and there's actual spontaneous celebrations

Like, look at this shit. He is starting to have negative net approval with *every single possible demographic*, and yet people are convinced that he is stronger and more unassailable than he ever was.

“Incredible” vs “non-credible” is quite the Kinsley gaffe

wot if ya senator ran on batteries?

*slaps roof of tent*
