The more men understand women as equal human beings who as fully conscious and feeling as they are, the less they’re threatened by female achievement and competition and less likely to dismiss it as unearned

This is MAGA's Achilles heel: these people who seem to have all the power and money, they are DESPERATE to be liked. We can withhold the deference and inclusion they crave. They don't feel shame, but they feel exclusion and contempt, ACUTELY. Shunning is free, non-violent and highly effective.

Pancreatic cancer is a terrible disease and it's awful that Ben Sasse has it and it's also awful that his party doesn't want to cure it.

Anyone who follows me on here knows this is what I was expecting.

And if you're MAGA, you can make a donation in a friend's name to The Inhuman Fund - it's money for Trump.

A last-minute gift idea for just about anyone is to give them today, for it is the present.

support independent media. idk what else to say right now.

[me, smelling a bad smell at the gym] “Ooo - bring in da noise, bring in da funk!”

So it wasn't just my mom doing this.

I can envision a future where NATO Article 5 will have been invoked twice - one to defend the United States and one to defend from the United States.

If I know anything, they'll fuck up the redactions and miss something big, because they are lazy and they are dumb.

We will never be able to put our country back together until we prosecute those who are breaking the law multiple times a day. It’s what should have happened four years ago and it is a huge part of the reason we are in this mess today.

Name a fictional character you believe would appear on the Epstein list. legitimately by accident tho

They could run this like an auction. I’d pay a couple grand towards the national debt to tear his fucking name off a facade!

Donald Trump is everything your teachers, coaches, and parents worked very hard to make sure you wouldn't be. (paraphrased from @stevegorman.bsky.social's instagram)

This headline delights me.

Remember when spam posts would regularly go around on Facebook saying they were going to start charging for it?

I always tell my family that Reddit is a great source of information from real people with real experiences and I guess the FBI just learned that as well. www.cnn.com/2025/12/19/u...

It's like Larry Ellison and Elon Musk are battling to be the great Bond Villain of the twenty-first century.

ABC News is reporting there’s a warrant for the arrest of a suspect in the Brown U. shooting. abcnews.go.com/US/brown-mas...

It just occurred to me that many musicians have likely already written celebratory anthems that will drop on all streaming platforms as soon as it happens.

Synergy!

So did that literal airing of grievances mark the start of Festivus?

We always knew none of this would end well. The only real question was *how* it wouldn’t end well.

So do we have to refer to Trump as El Conquistador from now on?

Should we spend money on curing cancer or on researching whether Lyme disease was bioengineered?

It's an announcement that the new white house ballroom will be on the first floor of a five story parking garage.

"Ideally the president wouldn’t be someone whose face was featured on novelty condoms at the rape palace of history’s most notorious pedophile"

I watched "Love Actually" and have developed a theory that the movie isn't actually about love, but is an exploration of the audience's tolerance for suspension of disbelief.

The more I read this, the more it sounds like it was written by a McKinsey consultant for a slide deck.

As a little kid, I thought he *was* Meathead. As I got older and saw his directorial work, I couldn't believe he was also such an amazing storyteller. He ended up being one of the best of our time. I've probably quoted lines from his movies more than any other director. So sad.

I kinda expect Kash to redirect the FBI agents to look for immigrants of color while they're there in Providence.

The only country in the world where a child’s most enduring elementary, middle/high school and college memory may be a mass shooting incident.

The Onion, again walking the delicate line between satire and reality.

I love that, in America, we measure things in football fields.

I heard* a rumor that the the bandage on Trump's hand is from him repeatedly backhanding a statue in the white house that he thinks is a disrespectful staffer. *started

Brutal @jamesebriggs.bsky.social piece in the Indystar about what a buffoon our governor is. www.indystar.com/story/opinio...

It’s so weird for Indiana Republicans to be in the news and not in a way that embarrasses Indiana.

I gotta say it was a good day.

If I were an Indiana congressperson this would really piss me off. I'd be more determined than ever to stand up against something I knew was wrong. The mob boss approach works best on people you have kompromat on, not people just trying to do their jobs.

We're Indiana - we already live in a state of deprivation.

To be clear, whenever I comment "I guess it's pretty nuanced", what I'm really saying is "Well that seems real fucking arbitrary".

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!
