Fun fact: Black Panthers doing perfectly legal (at the time) open carry in CA in the 1960s spurred then-Governor Reagan to sign the Mulford Act into law in 1965, prohibiting it. These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.

How shameful that FIFA chose to throw their flawless reputation down the drain

Suspiciously asking my wife who's funding her anytime she criticizes me

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

We need to get back to the founding principles that made this country great. That’s why I support putting militarized troops in US cities and giving them the power to search anyone and enter any home at any time. And to rough up or possibly shoot anyone who objects. Let’s do Boston next!

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

Owning the libs by letting intelligence analysts undress the Ayatollah.

Rooting against someone is often more fun than rooting for someone. A Hater’s Creed.

The national media, the ADL, corporate leaders, etc. are not revisiting their decisions about Musk now afaict. Musk is just allowed to be a very public Nazi accelerationist as well as a CSAM publisher without any mainstream scrutiny.

This is what happens when basic morality is secondary to pure identity alignment. People are willing to “well ackshually” egregious acts to defend their guy or the platform that owns their enemy. And the lawmakers who introduce legislation about “protecting kids” are afraid of the mob.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Bay leaves are pointless

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

If Instagram had a feature that let users create sexual images of women and minors, it would be a national news scandal and shut down immediately. I'm not naive about media and political influence, but I'm very confused why there isn't massive coverage and outrage at Elon/Grok right now.

also, if i were advising, say, anthropic, i would tell them to draw extremely broad and aggressive marketing and messaging distinctions between the CSAM hate machine (xAI), the suicide machine (openAI) and the clippy-but-worse machine (copilot), and focus on being the buddhist codemonkey machine

An inspired choice, can't wait

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

The first sentence of any public statement needs to make your main point crystal clear. This is Communications 101. If instead you cede that space to first agree with your opponent, you're a fucking idiot.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

I'm dubious, but I'll take it.

The Ghost of Christmas Future Perfect: “You will have been visited by me.”

there is one and only one political strategy, and that is: “hang trump like an anchor around the neck of every single elected republican and the party itself.” no ‘friends across the aisle.’ no ‘the fever will break.’ anyone not on board with that has to go. no exceptions

Congrats again to everyone for pretending the far right authoritarian party’s assault on higher education was really about fighting antisemitism

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Defeating the Joker would be nice.

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

If Newsmax existed in the 1940s, Bovino wouldn't have even had to change clothes.

The repeated pattern (see also Washington Post) is that these choices to veer rightward are not economic decisions: they turn off the core audience. Editorial choices are loss leaders for bigger corporate goals.

Captain Holt is on the Mount Rushmore of 21st century comedic TV roles. Also Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Veep. Someone from Arrested Development almost certainly makes that list too, but those two are not debatable.

Polling: "Do you think the rich have too much political power in the U.S.?" Yes: 80% No: 8% Independent voters are 81%/6% on this; even Trump voters are 68%/18%. Maybe a political party could lead on this issue. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/ec...

For reasons completely unrelated to any opinions about regulatory policy, a Day 1 executive order here in the US should be ending every government agency account on X. Just delete them all, plain as that. For the same reason the US government need not have accounts on Stormfront or 4chan.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.
