Don't blame the turner diaries troglodytes literally dismantling the Department of Education, blame the 11 year old with ADHD who needs an extra 30 minutes for the test.

My latest newsletter is about how centrist pundits got the lessons of the 2024 election wrong, and how the politics of 2025 exposed them.

I would rather have a world where we all trust each other and accept that a few people will take advantage of it than a world where folks have to perform disability constantly in order to get the help they need. Let kids have an extra 30 minutes on the test, jesus fucking christ

What atrocities did Cersi commit against innocent civilians? Oh only starting a war across the entire continent by having her husband killed and blowing up the "Vatican".

we gotta keep hammering over and over again just how fucking unpopular this guy is with every institution and every person in a position of power people hate him and people will hate you for capitulating to him

I have a fun hypothetical for the technical among us! (For certain values of fun, heh.) The scenario: You run a website. It doesn't have a mobile app: the only way to access it is in-browser. You are deeply, morally opposed to any form of invasive tracking or data-gathering on your users.

We were contacted by a journalist at Le Parisien newspaper with this prompt: > I am preparing an article on the use of your secure personal data phone solution by drug traffickers and other criminals. Have you ever been contacted by the police?

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

We’re closer than ever to libertarians getting their chance to put the whole consent system on trial and I hate it and also I want everyone who believes that shit to tell on themselves as much as possible

We could have gotten smarter fascists, who work to boost the economy upon taking office, funneling benefits to their supporters, consolidating power behind the scenes. Instead, they rushed to overt corruption while making even supporters' lives worse. A lot of pain before they fall, but they will.

For real, check this out. Evil.

Exactly! If Democrats need to focus on affordability, just ... focus on affordability. Don't constantly give lectures about how other people with the exact same job as you need to do it differently.

This is a straightforward Republican attack line, what the fuck is he doing

And it got her an unprecedented transfer as a sex offender to a minimum security Club Fed where she has laptop access, individual meals delivered, a puppy, and yoga class. For a habitual liar and child trafficker to get a deal like that from DOJ is pretty sweet.

DO: Run as a progressive with an actionable agenda. DON’T: Pull a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot

Should the Epstein files be released in full it would undoubtedly be an irreconcilable scandal & disaster for Donald Trump - which is why I predict that Chuck Schumer will post hole on main during that press conference, to save the Republicans from another inevitable defeat.

Is that from being unable to afford to feed ourselves or?

Hey @magic.wizards.com 👋 you got another apology or clarification for those hundreds of artists who've publicly said they won't fuck with you anymore if you use gen "AI" in your games?

Not normally one to AI-vestigate an artist's work but I think it's fair when said "artist" is the creative (lol) lead on a game whose USP is that it uses the Unreal Plagiarism Engine to generate assets for it.

Replacing all of your social connections with fake beings whose needs you never have to meet (or even consider!) is one of the most demonic things I’ve ever seen. Transcending humanity by hooking yourself up to a validation slot machine that always throws triple sevens.

“These people are just very sad!” your conscience will say. Then I’d recommend they not engage with or cheerlead the alienation machine. I don’t care how thirsty a person is, I don’t want to watch them drink salt water.

The media is rushing 300 “New York Jews worried about Mamdani antisemitism” fetch essays based on nothing but Mamdani being a Muslim meanwhile the Republican Party from top to toe has the confidence to wear nazi makeup every day knowing the press looks at it like the westworld bots seeing a polaroid

Acting like Mamdani is going to put Zionists in camps when there are literal Nazis littering the GOP right now is insane

WTF? @washingtonpost.com just published a profile about Chris Buskirk—who co-founded the Thiel-backed Rockbridge Network with JD Vance—that omitted Buskirk’s ties to American Reformer, self-professed Christian Nationalist William Wolfe, & Wolfe’s Center for Baptist Leadership. 1/

This is a good way to put it. I'm not going to write anyone off as an irredeemable human being but as a political matter, the American right is animated by bigotry and misinformation. It just is.

I can hear the chants now "what do we want!" "Free community college for public high school graduates with at least a B average!" "When do we want it!" "On a moderate timescale that won't impact the national debt ceiling!" 😌😌😌

Part of our national problem is that many refuse to accept the stakes of politics, and the in-their-face-but-somehow-denied reality that “let’s not starve children, especially when there’s money for a ballroom and a foreign bailout” is not appealing to shared values, but to a partisan position.

From an article about the man in the SS uniform arrested for attacking the woman in Georgia. Just wild that we've accepted that there's a huge social media platform where an account called "@GasChambers" is allowed to openly do Nazi fundraising and that's fine, in fact all the reporters post there.

ah, this guy was taken alive, unharmed, and there hasn't been an all-hands-on-deck freakout about What It Means. Guess the demographic!

the thing about "still gotta win elections" is that sounds all realpolitik until you realize that avoidance lets the other guys define you in your absence and "moderating" communicates that their narrative about you is correct.

one of the reasons voters believe the caricatures of the democratic party pushed by republicans is because the democratic party itself believes in the caricatures of the democratic party pushed by republicans

"Introducing Doublespeed, an [Andreessen Horowitz backed] startup operating a phone farm to flood social media with AI-generated slop on behalf of its clients. Doublespeed clients can expect to pay anywhere between $1,500 and $7,500 a month for access to its phone farm."

Holy shit, they- they got /even cuter/

You Can Kill a Democracy Without a Dictator www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/o... With a gift link because I think it is very important for people to understand this:

Consider how few anecdotes it took for the media to declare a Free Speech on Campus crisis. Every day we get more evidence that the Republican Party is teeming with white supremacists yet elite institutions refuse to frame this as a crisis that needs the nation’s attention.

Trump has believed, since his first term, that the U.S. treasury is his personal piggy bank (as he did with his personal charity). The entire purpose of his presidency is to funnel as much of it as he can to himself and his family
