wrong. living in New York City is about frantically swiping your metrocard as your train arrives, repeatedly getting an error, and in the span of a half second evaluating whether you still have the athleticism to jump a turnstile. if you don’t like that then move to fucking Boston.

Richard Masters requested a 20 point deduction after Everton breached PSR by £13.5m.

more middle class communists get mad on behalf of an imaginary poor person they would never actually help in real life

Are we supposed to now see 1/6/21 as unimportant old times, no need to maintain old bitternesses about an attempted violent coup whose nonpunishment led directly to the complete takeover of government by fascist authoritarians intent on destroying every last shred of 20th century progress?

Worth remembering: some of the most horrific policies in history were enacted through “proper” legal processes. The Nuremberg Laws were passed by a legislature. Jim Crow was law. Apartheid was law.

History is full of examples of democratic systems producing legalized cruelty. The idea that “this is just liberal democracy at work” has always been how people justify harms they don’t personally feel.

The entire conservative legal movement and philosophy of “originalism” is premised on the illegitimacy of any SCOTUS decision that doesn’t fit the GOP party platform

Lowest ratings ever for a CBS broadcast. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Remember the image posted by Rick Wilson's wife on instagram of this confederate flag cooler on their boat?

your lincoln project donations are building this dude another wing on his house

I don’t proclaim to be a British politics expert but my understanding is that Labour has done the same bullshit as Democrats, with far less partisan loyalty to prevent a freefall. Turns out right-wingers will always hate you and if you stand for nothing, your own voters will tire of you!

it rocks that Matthew Yglesias’ entire theory of politics has been vaporized in the last year and yet he is more insufferable than ever

the business of the current SCOTUS majority consists primarily of hectoring district courts for not coming to the conclusion SCOTUS arrives at via unreasoned two-page shadow docket orders

NEW: Jan Crawford's attack on SCOTUS "corruption" narrative was its own substance-free narrative. On Face the Nation, CBS News's chief legal correspondent went after Supreme Court critics as "dangerous." And yet, her court defense was completely lacking in specifics. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Yeah guys, Alex Karp of Palantir is a totally normal guy who just happens to quote several minutes’ worth of a Nazi speech, before doing random tai chi and leaving Karp is a dangerous, completely unhinged lunatic and it’s made worse by the fact that he’s obviously on coke too

The “fun” thing about the kennedy center freakout is that conservatives have been carving out “creative” exceptions to anti discrimination laws so they can be bigots to ordinary people just trying to make a purchase, but if actual artists don’t want to perform for the god king they must be punished

Over the past decade and a half, various cast and crew members have felt comfortable confiding/dumping in/on a person who portrayed an incarnation of Rusty. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

rick wilson said we at media matters for america should be "curb stomped" and everyone pretending like wilson is some kind of good guy has driven me insane.

In 1961, the National Review, that bastion of "reasonable conservatism" published a pamphlet by L. Brent Bozell (WFBuckley's bro-in-law) making the menacing argument that Chief Justice Earl Warren deserved a punishment greater than censure or impeachment because he'd "made war against public order."

"Denazification is a myth on every level of German society."

really bugs me when people post incoherent nonsense and then get all holier-than-though when people point out that it’s not actually true (you can buy an OMNY card with cash from a vending machine just like the old metrocards)

This is why I don’t trust the "Never Trump" Bulwark guys. They’re perfectly comfortable with real people being harmed, so long as the harm comes via a process they can label “liberal democracy.”

just because someone is nominally on your side as to one issue doesn't mean you jettison everything else the coalition is built on, particularly when the new coalition member thinks you're still the tool of powerful space Jews

It would not be difficult, practically speaking, for someone from within the journalist/commentary clique whom Suzanne considers peers, to drop her an email and ask her what the 'killing off' of 'trans ideology' would look like, in real terms, including and especially for those immediately affected.

Minnesota has criminals, and Minnesota has Somali residents. Equating the two is a gross logical fallacy. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2...

as it is with constituency for 'nevertrumpers' aside from people who already vote democrats

in the early aughts, MSNBC was trying to find their place between Fox and CNN (that CNN was 'liberal' was a deep belief) and whoever was in charge at the time explicitly said they were aiming at "republicans who don't like george bush" and in 2003 that was approximately 500 people who lived in DC

Isn't it fantastic to be a sovereign nation once again, able to make our own rules and not bend to the demands of foreign politicians?

The big blind spot for them is that they've forgotten that there's any such thing as sincerity

Unfortunately for them, trying to soft sell a raging crank and antisemite fantasist like Greene makes them look like the dumb marks they are

The reality is that they want an even more conservative Democratic party and this is a way to argue for that without actually saying it

The Marjorie Taylor Greene conciliation tour is fascinating to watch - it doesn't accomplish its stated goals of damaging Trump any more than she was willing to do on her own, but it's still an excuse for centrists to browbeat leftists for "failing to think strategically"

This charming bloke also ran a guy over live on stream with his Cybertruck a few days ago. Then another popular streamer promised to get him some of those good “lawyers that don’t work on Christmas”, and they and their audience all yukked it up because lol racism. The manoshere is a truly vile place

Worked out my manager was taking backhanders from suppliers who overcharged. He quit before the investigation got properly underway, and I took over, switching to fairly priced companies. My reward for saving £5-8k a year? Zilch. Nothing. I should've just demanded a cut of his.

This is an extremely minor thing, but man it's some low standards journalism to quote such a wild misuse of the word "carnage" by an X (The Everything App) user so random that their name isn't cited, then put that in the headline. bbc.com/news/article... Like, there's hyperbole. Then there's this.

One of the best to ever do it

You can be a Tasmanian Devil of vile and easily disproven bullshit, but if you also hate trans people you will be called a "challenging thinker" by American media institutions

the established best practice in these cases is putting your finger up to their mouth, and insouciantly telling them "please mon cherie, you are far too sexy to be bothering yourself with such things" and everyone walks away happy

it was hilarious reading the hysterics in the polo & pan subreddit after one of them posted some pro-DOGE nonsense, like what politics exactly did you expect out of french party boy DJs??

This story immediately raises hackles, because it's reminiscent of years of stories about how white male candidates didn't get into prestigious university X despite having great GPAs and test scores, and then you find out they literally have no other selling points and botched the application

I've waited 3 years to make this post

No my man, the answer absolutely involves taxing those gains.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

There's a reason why I moved out of the country within two years of traveling through all of the 48 contiguous states and mostly stayed away for almost 13 years.

A lot of people are trying to justify their own desire to surrender to Trump early in the year

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

If you have a billion dollars, you literally have enough money to never have to hear any criticism for the rest of your life. Just because they’re all addicted to going online and getting yelled at isn’t my fucking problem.

“Over the long Christmas break, the president of the United States may have leaked classified information about a secret military operation targeting Venezuela, and did so while calling in to a New York radio show – hosted by a ‘Marty Supreme’ cast member – to brag…
