“A Marine who once escorted Kellie Pickler to the CMT Awards did a mass shooting because he thought he was being gangstalked by the entire LGBTQ community” is perhaps the most American sentence possible

"one officer smiled for a selfie with her as she cried."

The one pro-ICE guy they found to interview downtown today being a suburbs-based casino marketer and erotica convention entrepreneur named Larry Goone might be the thing that tips me over into We're Living In A Bad Fic territory

Okay so first the article is from 2022. Second, because no one reads articles.

fun fact: they also used to have a pig that would dive in the water and swim down to the bottom. his name was ralph. also there were mermaids who would drink bottled coke underwater.

Timeline cleanser 🐈

Hi. It's me. 2 weeks later. This is done. 58 frames over 3 seconds, *50* layers in the final image. WOO. This was a long edit, felt like ACTUAL work so unless I get it again with the actual sunset I doubt I'll be editing more like this. Psyched for the final piece tho! 🪶

I could write a semantics paper on the sentence. “This Truth no longer exists”.

the Command & Conquer series is 30 years old today we so have an excuse to share this iconic moment with Tim Curry

not true

Matt Walsh should do more outdoor events

It looks good, Carl—it looks *real*

Vance is dumb in many ways but I can’t help think this is an example of them once again dabbing on us. I refuse to believe he wasn’t also made to watch October Sky in high school.

With the media landscape shifting quickly and a new regime in place, it may only be a matter of time until a MAGA monoculture takes over the mainstream airwaves. Latest for @msnbc.com.

A good thread that weaves history and fashion and ends on a note about the present.

Well don't I feel stupid

Your blue state governor has NO WAY to "withhold" your federal income tax payments or "put then in escrow". Federal income tax is employer directly to the IRS. You can personally amend your W4 form to prevent all withholdings from your employer. And there is an IRS penalty for that.

did he get botox done recently

Yeah, running through some contacts here, I can attest to the wife of an ICE agent claiming "he had a criminal background in Africa" to someone I know. These are the kind of people we're dealing with

A better world is possible and we have it in us to build it. All we have to do is toss living things off of cliffs into the sea.

Feels like a booze and Helldivers night

lol not only did they back down they put it in the press release that they’re mad

and again, cool if people choose to do it! but right now most of the value in users doing alt-text is for marketers, people building training sets, bot automators or people who uses it to add jokes/context to images the good intention scolds are just so out of their depth

Remember that time an Econ PhD from Harvard wrote in the NYT “I didn’t know what a beverage distributor was”

Now this is Content

Sometimes I am reminded that I am a complete cultural philistine and it does not feel good

From Montenegro to northern California, the tech elite dream of building “network states”—cities where they make the rules. Is this, finally, their moment?

for any of you texas state parks enthusiasts... i'm going to kerrville next weekend and should i go to lost maples or south llano river state park for a saturday morning hike

Excluding my mutuals, Kat has the weirdest haters around.

People like this should be straight up forbidden from doing politics of any kind. No running for office, no campaigning, no donating. Go work a job and leave everyone else alone you freakish busybody.

The guy who spent his life trying to make sure your kid spent 10+ years in prison for selling weed then going out of his way to protect his son just doing a cheat code GTA run for 13 years has weakened democrats positions, sorry.

You WILL be car dependent

To be a fly on the wall in the timcast discord right now lol

Happy Birthday to the late, great Marty Robbins, born Martin David Robinson 100 years ago today

Biden’s only achievements — the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the IRA — have already been destroyed or co-opted. There’s absolutely nothing positive about Biden’s legacy, both domestically and internationally. Liberal academics will insist he was a decent president but he was a total failure.

Every new day of horrors makes me even more furious at Biden, Merrick Garland, and that entire administration. They paved the way for fascism with their fecklessness AND destroyed the international order by funding and arming a genocide. One of the worst administrations in American history.

you are about to see the nation’s beer distributors—aka “the toughest lobby you’ve never heard of”—lose their fucking minds

Hope she dedicates adequate time to the scourge of bazookas as well

This dropped off almost everyone's radar, to be honest (possibly for this reason)

Ameritex?

Remember when Ken was pissing and crying about his mental health because of David Hogg?

This is just Donut Media

As the ICE vehicle and crowd approached the ICE building, agents advanced and began firing pepper balls into the crowd.

At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk. He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.

We need a social norm that you can pull the phone out of someone's hand and smash it if they're trying to fuck with an innocent person's livelihood
