I’m no fancy politics guy, but i’d say any country where you can’t put a man in prison for accepting a literal bag full of cash in exchange for favors from the government is not, in fact, a functioning state.

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

Hey Chris who was it that made central and South American banana republics who was it who forced regime change in Iran Chris did you know it was your own CIA Chris did you know America did all that and now America is Americaing America Chris hey Chris did u know

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

hey political scientists, wake up, wild new country-pair just dropped.

Who's the "you" here? Like... who does he think he's threatening? I mean, I *know* who he's threatening, but it doesn't line up with the incident that provoked this warning.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

one guy said the other guy is on the epstein list and still decided to hang with him bsky.app/profile/yash...

Harrison Butker, the back-to-the-kitchen, women! Chiefs kicker developing a version of the yips where he keeps missing chipshot kicks far to the right, is one of the funnier developments of this year. Six mandatory workplace DEI workshops will fix this.

It's sobering, in its way, to realize that there was truly nobody (save, perhaps, his children) who knew him that loved him as a man. He made himself into content, and he died as content, and his funeral is the most content of all. Soundbites to soundbites, bits to bits

please stop saying shit like "real christians don't do this." Real Christians do. They're sitting there right now doing it. They joined that kind of Christianity with the explicit intention of doing exactly what they're doing right now.

Hard to imagine how much these people must hate themselves.

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Today, Canada recognises the State of Palestine.   My statement: www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

SCHUMER: If I sit down at the Trump restaurant I hope the chef will not serve me a shit sandwich. BASH: So you won’t eat the shit sandwich if Trump serves it to you SCHUMER: I sure hope he doesn’t. I don’t want to eat a shit sandwich. BASH: You are going to eat a shit sandwich?

My hopes and prayers go out to Chuck Schumer and all Senate Democrats in this difficult time. Tragically, complete and total surrender to fascism is the price we sometimes have to pay in order to ensure a free democracy.

they don't want you to joke about a man's death but then they're out there saying things like this

I believe this, but for the casual observer (me) who isn't actually buying these products and is simply seeing ads for crowdfunding campaigns, the difference between 1000 products and 4000 products is kind of imperceptible. A lot is still a lot!

the rapture is just an excuse to not keep living. it’s just ideation

If you're trans if you're anti-fascist if you vocally oppose genocide if you have a picture of JD Vance with big rosey cheeks & a lollypop on your phone,- if you're even associated with anyone who matches these descriptions you're running a horrendous risk making a trip. What a colossal terror.

Why would anyone visit the US right now? Both professional & "low skill" international workers are being punished. Tourists are getting black bagged. Your visa can get revoked if you've made fun of some guy who was mates with the president. They're gonna host the OLYMPICS in these conditions??

Canceling Disney+ because they canceled Kimmel is well and good, but if you really want to make them pay attention, there is no better way than fucking Goofy's wife

When you lay it all out like that...

Now that Republicans have terrified and trained Democrats to publicly repeat the line that all political violence is wrong, always, I expect them to rapidly shift into saying that sometimes political violence is necessary — for them

The thing that always gets me is how cheaply these little shits can be bought.

And literally four days later from this story Open AI admits what we all know to he true. That when a model generates bullshit, that’s no flaw, that’s just how it works. www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

Love living in a functional democracy with freedom of the press that isn't run by man-children whose feelings are hurt when their immoral actions receive the criticism they deserve. It's great, can't recommend it enough. All you non-free countries out there, you gotta try this.

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

Artist Sheldon Moldoff, one of Bob Kane's main ghost artists, he also cocreated Poison Ivy, Mr. Zero (later renamed Mr. Freeze), Bat-Mite, the original Bat-Girl & Batwoman, Ace the Bathound, and more. #BatmanDay

Love to live in a shithole country that can't produce reliable economic data but can blow up random boats in international waters and set aside a day to remember a bigoted podcaster.

This soundbite pretty much captures what it's like living in this moment in history

At least as problematic as this Administration's overreach regarding broadcast media is the sheer size we've allowed these media companies to attain. Such that a handful of media owners can exercise this kind of influence on broadcast media.

This is genuinely powerful stuff. And I won't lie, I got a bit emotional watching it. This is the kind of world I want to live in, and I want my kids to grow up in. A world where we fight for equity for all, and love triumphs over hate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe1V...

OK *this* was an actual vote, and this is political malpractice by the House Democrats. Hakeem's gotta go.

there’s no real point to “dems suck” posts anymore once they hit the point of voting for charlie kirk remembrance day. That’s the end of the game and now you start over with new game plus and everything unlocked. It’s 2007 and you’re about to tell politico Hillary Clinton had slaves

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

Part of my possibly unfortunate fixation on the "medieval" part of "medieval fantasy" means that I would like to see fewer (or no) D&D characters with surnames, and more should have lineage-names ("Ragnal, Erik's Son"), epithets ("Halfdan Worm-Tamer"), or place-names ("Aethel of Badwall").

Every "police officer passes out from brushing against fentanyl, maybe" story smacks of "the antifa drugs did corrupte mine humors, bringing forth a fierce dystempere!" vibe

Watching 2-4 hours of TV every day is going to eat up about 2-4 hours of your day, every day, and that shit adds up.
