A lot of comedians are just horrible assholes but I also wonder if the rush to embrace the Riyadh Comedy Festival money says something about how bad the internal economy of the comedy podcaster sphere is doing

This is wrong only in one aspect: the Simpsons’ decline can be dated to exactly February 13 2000, 7:30PM Eastern Time, and no gutter press article can convince me otherwise!

There it is

This is a bombshell of a story. Hegseth willing to do but want cover from Trump in case it goes horribly wrong. But… archive.ph/2025.10.04-0...

Been in Lisbon less than 8 hours and have already encountered a massive protest in solidarity with Gaza.

… for how capital sees downward trickles as leakage — as waste. See, e.g., a line from the WSJ story about the cratering of film production in Los Angeles. The wealthy don't _want_ money they could bank to trickle down. They want profit growth. They want greater efficiencies. They want line go up.

A couple of points on this post, which I agree is excellent: • A hearty 'amen' to this:

Amidst a violent crackdown, the Trump administration has set its sights on anyone monitoring its expanding immigration enforcement operations—and it’s turning to major tech companies to help, writes Free Press advocacy director Jenna Ruddock.

They fire Marc Fisher and Karen Attiah, let Greg Sargent walk away, push out Radley Balko, but keep Ms. “Roe v. Wade Isn’t Going Anywhere. Somebody moonwalking in clown shoes wouldn’t look as ridiculous.

without being able to withhold labor to any significant degree, the avenues regular people have to affect politics for any cause - not just labor - are often slim, tending towards the hyper individualist or just voting and hoping reps don't backstab you or declare your ballot initiative void.

looking into the article, important part to it is this was initiated by italian unions, making it possible to organize such action at all. which reinforces for what and why such union restrictions exist in america. keeping labor down doesn't just generate wealth, it also suppresses other movements.

If a high-ranking elected official can be detained in broad daylight, no one is immune from this regime’s authoritarian overreach. Let’s stand together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption — and remind Trump and his enablers that there are NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

This kind of misogyny and sense of entitlement starts early and the fact that no one involved did anything about the clear red flags is disturbing www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/n...

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

Good @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social piece on the need to recognize that Trump's consolidation of authoritarian power is not limitless. He's facing serious resistance, he's losing on a number of fronts, and Trump doesn't want you to know any of that: www.arcdigital.media/p/kimmel-and...

Universities considering capitulating to the Trump “conditions” should use this real world example to understand they will simply be destroying their own institution. bsky.app/profile/nich...

Anyone who recognizes the existential threat to US Constitutional democracy and wants Democrats to take a stand should listen to this conversation between @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and @gregsargent.bsky.social. I found it heartening to hear a Democratic Senator with eyes open to the moment.

Unitary executive authority without unitarity executive responsibility.

OPINION by @anthonylfisher.bsky.social: “A government that says you can’t call it authoritarian is most certainly authoritarian.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

They didn’t infiltrate. They were invited in by the Admin. And the mainstream WH press corps didn’t stand up for their own (Yamiche Alcindor, AP).

I don't always agree with Macron, but it's promising to hear him speak of democracy and infrastructure in exactly the right terms. Politics is finally shifting towards the reality of our digital environment.

The White House admits that they're trolling the Democrats, which is proof they're not negotiating in good faith. You don't push your counter-party away from the bargaining table if you want to make a deal.

The Mystery of the Presidency continues.

“If you shut me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine” is the biggest fucking lie and apparently they’re sticking with it.

Criticizing Charlie Kirk is a fireable offense that incites domestic terrorism. But calling political opponents "the party of hate, evil, and Satan" is proper and good. Got it.
