So, not a peace plan

Overwhelmed? Try Doing Absolutely Nothing!

The fact that so many powerful people have gone noseblind to Hitler particles is the next catastrophe after Trump succumbs to the reaper's icy grip. We can't rebuild democracy on a foundation of rot

Bizarre that their new motto, fuck our minority customers, isn’t juicing sales

No more terrifying creature in all of politics than the Quebec median voter. Normal political scientists risk insanity if they gaze too long into that abyss.

interviewer: what's this gap in your resume in 2025 job applicant: I was in prison interviewer: are you sure you weren't working as a federal prosecutor job applicant: no I swear to god I was in jail

Deep State alums unloading the clip, apparently

This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

To reinforce this, we can look at proportions. Of the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis, 4.7 million died through planned systematic acts of extermination, and between 800,000 and 1 million were murdered via starvation, disease, and overwork.

IL needs to build more housing because living in a Republican state will literally kill you

Did you know that an aphid that came back with American wine vines that were being grafted into the ~only species of vine in Europe in the mid 1850s wiped out half of Europe’s vineyards? They have not forgotten.

"An argument that didn't work for Calley at My Lai, an argument that didn't work for the Nazis at Nuremberg."

Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)

"It is 4:55pm and I submit that this is close enough to 5pm that you should feed me."

Happy International Mens Rea to all the lawyers out there

We can all agree that O.N. is a bad journalist and a conservative, but the news that she was a child actor -- an industry rife with child sexual abuse -- and releasing songs about being "jailbait" at 16 just makes me think we're witnessing something terribly sad that she didn't ever want us to know.

Not for nothing but if you’re gonna print the Trump White House’s attack strategy verbatim you might want to offer an assessment of whether it will actually work? www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The excuse is “being a woman is inherently political” - yeah and whose idea was it to make half the population of the world “inherently political”?

Would hate to have to work with Wa-Luigi Coates on a group project

I've gotten into fights on here on whether doomers are being realistic but meanwhile the president who's nearing Bush '08 approvals is whiffing on the prosecution of probably the least sympathetic figure on his enemies list

So here’s what apparently happened: they tried to indict Comey on the last day of the statute with a three-count indictment. The grand jury rejected one. Rather than cross it out or indicate on the indictment that only two of the three counts were voted upon, Halligan creates…/1

if i had to hear baby shark everywhere i went for two whole months i'd be so happy that's like a 10 month reduction for me i'd cry tears of joy

This is the most ridiculous article I could possibly have imagined anyone could write. “AI is energy and therefore opposing AI is opposing thermodynamics” has to be the most nonsense take I have seen about AI.

I’m really tired of the idea that unless Chuck Schumer specifically says or does something, the fact that other Dems actually are saying or doing the thing is meaningless. A lot of Democrats embraced and supported Mamdani. And he won! That’s what counts. Y’all need to accept that and move on.

Also I'm thinking about the brief era in the 2000s where every local pizza place went hard as hell, that slowly turned to shit as rents and prices rose and the craft beer trend that floated it went away

For folks catching up, the reason the second indictment weirdly wasn't in the grand jury transcript, which confused the magistrate judge, is THEY NEVER PRESENTED IT TO THE GRAND JURY.

I have long said people don't be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts as much as they should be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts

When I think of the constant misery and anxiety Trump’s people must be feeling, I feel ….. is this contentment? Fuck. It’s NICE.

Sounds like his pollsters know who signs their checks

"Well, Jim, we're going to move to dismiss because we think they improperly influenced the grand jury to vote their way. It's a high standard so it'll be an uphill battle, but we're going to fight hard." "Actually, the grand jury never saw the indictment." " . . . . . . fucking what?"

Jesus CHRIST this is median-voter-making "WE SHALL FIGHT ON THE BEACHES, WE SHALL FIGHT IN THE FIELDS AND IN THE STREETS, WE SHALL FIGHT IN THE HILLS, WE WILL NEVER SURRWNDER"-synthwave-edits levels of GOP hatred

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Oh my GOD. Holy shit. Holy shit holy shit holy shit. To non-lawyers: this level of incompetence is BREATHTAKING. It is absolutely incomprehensible. This is a "mistake" that will be taught in criminal procedure classes for GENERATIONS.

The only worthwhile apology for this travesty will be for the next administration to give Ukraine enough weapons to crack the planet in half.

Not a huge fan of "just surrender lol" becoming the official US position but we'll see Ukraine's reaction I guess

"what if Minsk III?"

if you step back and ask “what labor is happening in the US that is (i) socially productive, and (ii) currently uncompensated?”, you’ll find there’s *all* kinds of labor going on, that a federal government could “job-ify.”

The Austin school where "Dazed and Confused" was filmed is set to close. Locals are anything but alright, alright, alright.

LLMs destroy context. You used to be able to tell a crank website from a good source partly by its style. But now we have a tool that puts careful research, incoherent garbage, and intentional shitposting through a kind of grammatical instagram filter, presenting them all with the same credibility

If they were more noble, the social media person behind this account would resign for poor research and failing at inspecting linked content

Lmao

I follow this vintage children’s bookseller on instagram and their posts are so cheering- look at that happy cat

The Vice President of the United States told MAGA to get people fired, and they did!

The new episode of my podcast Collateral Damage looks at Alberta Spruill, who died of a heart attack during an NYPD raid on her home. They got the wrong apartment, and were acting on a tip from an informant about a suspect who was already in custody.

Several Chicago newsrooms spent two months collecting and analyzing evidence of ICE & Border Patrol's use of tear gas and pepper spray in Chicago. They found that agents deployed chemical agents nearly 50 times. Most uses occurred after a judge ordered federal agents to restrict their use.

You get bonus legitimacy if you have an anointed coronation, good thinking Pritzker

I am perhaps an outlier on this and am perhaps irrationally exuberant given the GOP's ability to convince the public that women and girls are subhumans who don't matter - but I think this coupled with economic issues is starting to look like critical mess for Trump & GOP in Congress.

I've purchased that man probably 10 pairs of shoes in 5 years. He's still here getting on my nerves. People listen to superstitions made up by folks that never learned to read.

When I arrive at the party

NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

Donald Trump ripped into a reporter on Tuesday, just days after calling another female journalist “piggy” after she asked a question related to the convicted sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein.
