i never thought this would happen to me. a free keyboard by the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. took it home and it works perfectly

someone’s christmas present didn’t go as planned

I just got an actblue text from fucking Alec Baldwin. Fuck you!!!!

Please, if you have the privilege of not being an obvious and immediate target for state violence... Call them fascists, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now. Call yourself an antifascist, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now. We all need to be Spartacus on this one.

Wine Moms and Soccer Dads, this is our time

Duck you, Trump.

It’s a very different energy from Chicago and Boston but it is just as effective, IMHO.

Kinda losing it, just a little holy shit the most incredible Dolly Parton signed a magic card for me

what’s been driving me bananas about all the epstein stuff lately is that we already know the score!! fuck! we’ve known it for years and years! no we haven’t had all that many graphic specifics but people keep yelling about releasing ‘the files’ about atrocities WE ALREADY EXPLICITLY KNOW HAPPENED!

WE HAVE A NEW CHARACTER SOBER HUSBAND

This is doing Clancy Brown a little bit dirty but discovering Mr Krabs is The Kurgan is a wonderful moment for everyone

man Kaleb Horton wasn't just a great writer he was a great photographer too. it fucking sucks watching poverty and unemployment wear down immensely talented people until they're suddenly just gone way too fucking soon. this is a cruel country.

Really important to internalize that the president of the United States is ordering troops into major population centers precisely to create violent confrontations, for the sole purpose of intimidating, criminalizing and disabling opposition

Sorry Dark Lord, but... One ring to rule the mall? I mean, it's nice and all, but shouldn't you be setting your sights on a grander goal?

thinking about how now that I'm five years older my body is gonna be way less resilient about getting thrown down the stairs by federal agents

hey that’s pretty goddamn antisemitic

commander, we saw you from across the battlefield…

In the 90s the scariest guy in the world was the physical therapist you ran into at the dispensary who wants to talk to you about his microbrewery set-up and later adds you as a friend on Fetlife.

In retrospect, changing reliable and pretty cheap wires for shitty, unreliable wireless and Bluetooth was kind of the technology endgame for everything.

Hegseth fires general officers and JAGs, cracks down on dissenting views in military, orders killing civilians at sea without legal rationale, calls generals to Quantico to demand loyalty. Trump deploys troops to U.S. cities. "What are Trump and Hegseth up to? It's a mystery!"

just sipping on my coffee in my city of portland, and thinking about this post

This is the Kaleb Horton piece that deserved to make him the defining voice of today. He was an poet, a comic, and a cultural anthropologist who understood America on a soul-deep level. It's his 2016 road trip to the Constitution Party's election convention in Utah. web.archive.org/web/20160918...

Knights of Guinevere pilot kicks incredible amounts of ass because it's not only a beautifully animated cartoon for an adult audience, it's also clearly made with head splitting, blood-in-mouth, screaming fucking rage

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

Tom Nichols, Jon Stewart, etc in 2024: "it's too early to call them fascists" Trump regime in 2025: "it is now illegal terrorism to call us fascists" Funny how the time window on that worked

Thermostatic public opinion rules everything around me

Do you think we could convince hegseth it’s gay to be a secretary

Is she going to prosecute this herself? It would be comedic gold, if it weren’t frightening.

I have to stay off of that app 🫩

Some important info on Kaleb Horton and his writing for MTV: as I learned, he'd reupped the Merle piece on his site earlier this year, but otherwise his 2016-2017 work there was scrubbed and long unavailable. Happily, I was able to find a Wayback link with them all. Share, read, and remember.

i can’t believe peter thiel once while on joe rogan, unprompted to say this, that he hung out with and continued to talk to jeffery epstein AFTER he was arrested for sex trafficking. like he was cool with all that

I have an email address that is older than some of my colleagues. My actual bones cried out in terror when I found that out.

remember when Gmail was invite only and how excited we were to get that invite?

After reviewing relationship content on Instagram I’m convinced the dating pool is fucking cooked and it’s all the fault of the phones

I think we should also ridicule Miller here, not fear him. His fascist cosplay is absurd. He thinks tweeting in a clipped, military-sounding tone will frighten us. Oooo, he said "utilized"! Scary! Meanwhile their efforts to prosecute foes are imploding in buffoonery and Trump is polling in the 30s.

Low key I don’t think the U.S. military can take the Pacific Northwest

EZRA KLEIN: we *have* to learn to live together TRUMP DECLARING WAR ON 15th CITY: lmao, yeah totally, what he says. listen to him

This final post from Kaleb Horton is very beautiful and hits hard. This is just so sad. RIP.

American business and media elites have the same relationship to American democracy as Yossarian had to the Pianosa officers club

Ya know what would have swung the election? If another couple percent of my fellow white residents had voted for Harris or stayed home instead of voting for Trump.

Hezbollah says it refuses to be disarmed one year after leader's killing www.al-monitor.com/originals/20...

to be honest a bunch of the founders would have probably been less concerned by "mohammadans" than irish catholics like walsh

The radicalisation happening of UK elites is bad, bodes ill for the future, but is also, to be clear, really really funny quite a lot of the time.

30 second and 60 second unskippable ads. Disgusting.

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

The spammers aren’t even putting in the minimum effort any more!

I don’t really think shaming Dearborn, Michigan, as an entire municipality, for ”protesting” the democratic candidate really zings like the insult you think it does in September of 2025. I suspect the salience of this issue, however, is helped when you’re not a white guy slinging it around.

Scientists say Twitter has lost its edge and Bluesky is taking its place | Coverage of our paper in PsyPost

my baby niece is in Portland, OR. feel the need to underscore how absurdly chill the city is. it feels like a series of patchworked little towns. not that this vibe is necessary to render the use of military force against a place unconscionable — but you see that this is unhinged flailing, right?
