It's so wild how relationship standards are literally made up but people take them so seriously. I've never understood why cheating makes people so mad and I'm being 100% serious. Borders, religion, and monogamy are proof that people will kill each other for imaginary reasons.

THE MEME IS REAL

the charming little bicycle bell ring as he hustles away from them

I’m glad ICE released Steve Held, who they grabbed last night in Broadview. Now, the government must stop trying to deport journalist Mario Guevara, the Atlanta journalist who ICE targeted in retaliation for his immigration coverage.

One method by which the US manufactures consent is through term limits. No particular government can be fully saddled with blame for bad outcomes. It's infinite hot potato. Autocracies do not have this feature. The longer a despot rules, the clearer it becomes that he bears responsibility.

can't lie, when obama was in office neolibs had me thisss close to believing McDonald's was the key to world peace

I think disrupting a Kamala Harris event rather than a Donald Trump event is extreme cowardice and more than a little misogynoir. These folks know Trump could end the genocide with a phone call (just as Biden could have), but they also know that disrupting a Trump event is much more dangerous.

Of COURSE this was just another ploy to sell snake oil. These people cannot stop grifting for a single moment.

I am anti-capitalist. I am anti-imperialist. I reject Christian nationalism, jingoistic Americanism, and bigotry in all forms. I believe in freedom of migration, racial reparations, and doing away with a binary view of gender. I am anti-fascist. I am anti-Trumpist. No threat will change that.

Anyone on the "ditch Substack" side of Bsky have a moment to spare? I'll be forever grateful!

Even if your favorite streamer is a decent one like Hasan, I do kind of think having a favorite streamer is indicative of a brain that has been allowed to atrophy into mush.

I'm finally migrating from Substack to Ghost but I'm realizing I might need to pay for a few different tools that Substack offers for free. Mail services, domain hosting, etc. Am I tripping or is this going to be expensive?

This is some good activism

So the only people killed or injured were people ICE had kidnapped? But they're blaming the left? This reads like a Nazi who wanted to kill immigrants.

Good night everybody Happy Bi Visibility Day! I see you and I’m proud of you!

Tomorrow, I will (at long last and after much ado from my ADHD) migrate my Substack over to Ghost. I am writing it here so you folks hold me to it. I will even livestream while I do it.

For the record, half of how Nick Fuentes gets spread around is that he works tirelessly to embody the “Worst person you know just made a great point” meme. All he needs is for enough people to spread it around and enough people not to know who he is for it to succeed. And it’s going quite well.

Over on the bad site, all the rage toward people who didn't sufficiently mourn Kirk has dissipated. They are now collectively mad at Bethesda for posting a clip from the Indiana Jones game where he pets a cat and says, "You don't care about these fascists, do you?" Also Starbucks.

putting this on your timeline again

Fascists are gonna suffer through headaches and fevers rather than take Tylenol for the foreseeable future and I personally find that hilarious

it's better to think of the useless centrist 'expand the tent but only rightwards' media people & politicians as blockers paid to occupy space that could otherwise be utilized productively by a serious person. their opinions are pre-approved by their donors and will never change

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

not exactly surprising, but still notable.

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time “While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'” www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

Disney adults having more of an ethical backbone than elected Democrats is really something to behold

Incredibly funny that they went after the most lame, milquetoast, and mainstream comedians in the country. It has disabused normie libs of the notion that the fascists will leave them alone. No one can pretend they're only coming after the far left anymore.

Assuming CDC formally adopts ACIP's recommendations, CVS tells me it will provide Covid vaccines without a prescription in all 50 states and won't require even self-attestation of a qualifying condition — "it’s up to the individual patient." No confirmation from Walgreens or Walmart yet.

They abducted a student for an op-ed they didn't like but go off i guess

PSA: new Android phones will be equipped with modems that support IRadio V3.0, which means they can use a new "network notification" feature that warns you when your phone connects to a network that could be a Stingray. Upgrade to a phone that has this ASAP

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

Can confirm my Onion subscription is a major highlight each month. You can see my framed centerfold version of the "sickos" comic in the background of my TikTok videos (an easter egg my viewers have yet to notice, you uncultured swine).

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

Jean-Paul Sartre, Paris Under the Occupation Every day, these words ring truer, though the occupation in America is by Americans.

Btw if you're freaking out about a late night comedian but didn't take this threat seriously when a student was abducted for writing a pro-Palestine op-ed, you helped get us to this point

I do suspect that cracking down on "Hollywood elites" is likely to provoke more backlash than they think it will. People in Kimmel's circles have two things the rest of us don't: class solidarity and the means to enforce it.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

It should be apparent now that the goalposts are being shifted as it becomes clear neoliberalism cannot cope with the weight of fascism, and we have moved now to the portion where there’s an attempt to normalize that living under fascism for a little bit is better than actually stopping this now.

I've eaten gummy worms with more spine than elected Democrats

The Nazis famously viewed their liberal opposition with derision, marveling aloud at the fact that no matter how far the fascist movement went, liberals would continue to offer compromises and concessions.

I think it was Adam Serwer who noted that free speech means they can say what they want and you can say what they want. Can't get any more obvious than what we've witnessed over the past week.

"Don't you dare call us fascists! Also, we are designating anti-fascism as terrorism."

The Nazis in charge are trying to make him into a Reichstag but I think they're already losing normal people. Their whole goal now is to do a Kristallnacht and then defend the perpetrators from prosecution because they know losing power now means they all go to jail.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

I’m sorry, “Didn’t participate in a moment of silence”? What in the authoritarian state is happening.

Thinking for no reason of Stephen Fry's character in the "V For Vendetta" movie

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest
