I heard the Nintendo Wii crash noise in a YouTube video I watched today, and my brain, as usual, said "Hey, you want to make something silly?" #VideoEdits #YTPMV

Centrist politician is shocked to find that merely quietly letting the police do whatever they want doesn't count as support anymore. In the age of Trump, what the police and their unions want most is full-throated cheering for their worst abuses. sfstandard.com/2026/01/27/s...

there is a post from the US gov 'department of war' on here that includes video of them actually murdering people and threatening to murder more people & it's been up since november

saw someone call schumer cowardly and chide him for lacking the backbone to call for ICE to be abolished, & it must once again be pointed out that that is untrue. he is not trying to oppose the republicans and failing, he is on the same team as the republicans, and his enemy is you

Have they changed their opinions? Or have their opinions always been "things that negatively affect other people are fine, things that could negatively affect me are bad"?

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Piracy will remain inevitable for the foreseeable future because we do not have adequately robust digital archival technology. Every storage device on earth slowly fails/rots. You are not an antisocial, criminal force. You are doing your part serving as valuable cultural memory.

That and the concept of spontaneous horizontal organization is totally anathema to the fascist worldview. These guys are absolutely convinced that all history is driven by the heroic actions of Great Men, and under capitalism "great" means a guy with money.

It will not be a complex and sophisticated effort when they try to rig the election. It will be brutish, stupid, and crude, the same as their last putsch. We're worried it could nonetheless be effective given the complete lack of push back from any supposed institutional check so far.

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border. Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE). Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

Imagine if institutional Dems blacklisted everyone involved in scammer groups that fundraise off moments like this with half the intensity they blacklist people who work on primary campaigns against people who vote to thank and fund ICE

it's just remarkable to remember that a whole ass constitutional crisis is being forced because a weird old wealthy dowager queen has no idea how the country he was elected to lead for 4 years works, and a bunch of wormtongues are trying to make cool tough guy videos for him and his fans

Minimum wage job: 12 hours of delicate, finicky, painful hard work Medium wage job: 8 hours a day of delicate, annoying hard work. With emails CEO of company: 4 hours of gooning to his AI secretary with a suspiciously childlike face, with word salad about quantum physics and how smart he is

A quick note about police, secret police, and lying. If a cop's lips are moving, assume whatever words they're forming are a self serving lie. In general but especially if he's talking about state violence. What ICE is doing today is different.

[hunched over with elbows on my desk, fingers steepled and thumbs rubbing my eyes] (Into headset) Sure we can do that no problem

Well this is fucking cursed. www.ft.com/content/ab12...

@bloodwork.show I'm wondering if y'all saw this recent NYT Opinion column (or the earlier Atlantic one it references) where they hype the explanatory power of Fraenkel's Dual State but make zero mention of Agamben, almost deliberately. Wonder what you make of that www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/o...

hard not to notice that as trump's polls crater and gop gets crushed in election after election, news orgs are not racing around hiring progressive commenters and boasting about how they're reaching out to real americans by following the will of the volk.

lord of the rings but gandalf is optimus prime

damn what is wrong with me, i am having the hardest time concentrating on work, i lament as i compulsively refresh live feeds of unspeakable horrors

As screenwriter of the Labubu movie I want to clear up some misconceptions. Yes, technically they do eat human flesh, but only necrotic tissue around wounds. Doctors use them to clean up injuries and promote positive health outcomes. Labubus are humanity’s allies, except for evil Labubus of course

When I look at fascism throughout history I regularly think "this happened bc the population protested and resisted the secret police too much. I wish they had chilled out, demonstrated proper civility so as not to earn the already occurring oppression, and let the fascist lose the next election

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

sources close to Downing Street say Keir Starmer has discovered the Ctrl+Z keyboard function and now won't come off the computer per one report, "he's been typing up entire manifestos before yelling PSYCH and undoing the whole thing. the main thing is he's having fun I guess"

the goal is for twitter, palantir, anduril, and maybe a few others to become like IG Farben under Nazi Germany and to fuse directly with the government, which will provide them access to government money and probably slave labor in return for assistance with propaganda and violence

living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be

So glad they added play by play commentary to the golden globes so we can maximize everyone's favorite part of an awards show, jokes that fall flat as somebody who isn't funny struggles to read them off of a prompter.

I know this is very advanced casework but saying military strikes against a sovereign nation that has done nothing to us, kidnapping their elected leader on trumped-up charges and killing hundreds of people, is a ‘distraction’ from the Epstein files is wrong on any number of levels

stepped outside for a vibe check and saw a beast fuckin hauling ass towards Bethlehem

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

I think the misogynist contempt that’s evident as a motivation in the murder of Renee Good makes her killing by a state actor more similar to so-called private violence—eg domestic violence homocides—than some arguments that rely on a firm distinction between state and private violence can sustain.

You can really see the consent manufacturing machine go brrrr in real time as you watch the American media write story after story about protests in Iran while devoting a fraction of that ink to what's happening in the Twin Cities.

> European capital is currently freezing to death

I wish there was an autistic part of town, like Chinatown or Little Italy

ICE is basically saying that congress has no jurisdiction or oversight over it now due to the funding bill that Democrats surrendered on in exchange for basically nothing. More proof that fascists cannot be appeased, they can only be resisted. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

The world tries to make you do this but never let the cowardice of elites make you cynical towards the courage and goodness of normal people

They laugh at my mismatched outfits. They don’t realize I’m doing this to maximize ice damage. I will freeze them one day.

I actually only listen to podcasts at quarter speed I like it when they take 7 hours and sound like a drone metal song

i really hope maduro escapes just cause i wanna watch kash patel have to handle that. imagine the energy at those pressers. he's lookin like a bird that got inside through the chimney, pure terror, but he's going "and to mr maduro, if you're watching: hasta la fuego." eyes darting around for an exit

“He was a dictator” fat nazis in plate carriers abduct your neighbors from the parking lot of target and send them to gulags.

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval. If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks” whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to” don’t give them cover on it

So they're going to spend trillions to prop up a US run industry for barely saleable sludge oil that today is only purchased because US sanctions force people to do so, during a time of falling secular demand. Okay, sure. This shit is going to make Iraq and Afghanistan look like a roaring success.

A side story is there’s a ton of insider trading on these prediction markets. New accounts making hundreds of thousands on their first and only trade, that maduro would be ousted. Seems like insider trading is legal if not encouraged on these platforms

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
