It's not something to accept uncritically, but it's thoughtful and well-researched.

Excuse me, could someone explain to me what kind of human being refuses a toddler necessary daily medicine? www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Orbán is an enemy of humanity

Is Mr. President Turnip being quieter than usual because of all the protests, or are his latest outrages against decency being drowned out by other news? I've heard about the "apes" video.

Meanwhile, I have no idea what Questing For Glory is. It's all relative.

WHOA! MTG. 💥

#Canadians please provide context here: Given Canada's sterling reputation for politeness, is "completely inappropriate" a phrase to take at face value, or is it more like the Japanese phrase that translates to, "Prepare to join your ashamed ancestors"? www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

Excuse me, but am I correct in thinking that some ICE agents attempted to invade an Ecuadorian consulate?!

Please remember that Project 2025 was years in the making, and represents a concerted attack on all aspects of American life which its authors disdain. The movement - or tendency, since I doubt that it is only one organisation - has the ability and wealth to plan.

Remember, ICE is the bait - particularly provocative characters like Gregory Bovino. They're recruiting disposable meatheads because that agency is now intended to be a target, all so that the Toddler can have his excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act. Clean up the bait after the trap is dismantled.

So, has Mark Carney's security team started a heightened alert yet?

Just a reminder that the USA can still hold to its values, for anyone who needed to be reminded of that today: youtube.com/shorts/qtQmY...

Let's judge Farage by the company he keeps... #FraudulentFriends #ReformRats #TaxDodgingTossers #UKPolitics

Given the man's psychological history, what are the odds that Donald Trump will spend his eternity in Hell drowning in mashed potatoes?

If the reports that Hegseth ordered no quarter, and that two survivors of the first boat attack were killed as they were clinging to the wreckage, are true then this is a war-crime. Hegseth, the commander of the mission, and the men who carried out any follow-up strike would all share in this guilt.

I feel weird talking about that lmao so here’s some of my favourite graffiti

If you're cooking a vegetarian roast tomorrow, check to see if it needs to defrost today.

Now here’s the kind of news you drop going into a long holiday weekend. Maybe no one will notice. 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

If these allegations are true, then it may be time to send alternative contact details or farewells to those people one only reaches on Facebook.

A gentle reminder on behalf of small creators — if you can't remember buying a subscription or a product, just reach out to them. 🙂 Like me, I'm sure they'd be happy to refund you. But disputing it as "fraudulent" (when maybe you just forgot) has a real cost to the creator. ❤️

Sadly, Grok seems to have been tweaked away from its panegyrics of Mr. Musk, at least when answering the question, "Who could take a hundred-man anal gangbang better, gay porn star Rod Daily or Elon Musk?" However, the "Make it funnier" option presented, and the "Amp up Elon absurdity further"

This is another type of foundational work required to slowly undermine a republic or democracy, rather than violently overthrow it. The old question, "Who watches the watchmen?", applies here - with an observation that the attack on the USA's democracy was carefully planned and expertly executed.

Poisoning the well of discourse with propaganda is one of the foundational actions of an authoritarian government that intends to stay around. Forget the Dear Leader for now, despite his vicious crimes, and look to the dynasties that want to perpetuate themselves.

I wonder whether Ghislaine Maxwell will state that she lied under oath out of fear of Donald Trump?

When a publisher decides to publish a work of propaganda in tense times, one might ask oneself: "Do I really need the books that they sell?"

There's an old trope about the spell dying with the sorcerer, and I can't help but notice that Dick Cheney has fallen off his perch.

The antagonist doesn't seem to be able to die. The protagonist keeps hallucinating the ghosts of the people he's killed during his career. The protagonist might not be hallucinating.

Chip Roy's line, "There is a king and that king is Jesus", has some potentially interesting, and deeply heretical, interpretations when Trump is describing himself as a monarch. I wonder if he intended people to think of the Orange One as the Second Coming, or if he just uses sloppy wording?

"Oddly enough, the only person likely to be an ideal victim of complete manipulation is the President of the United States. Because of the immensity of his job, he must surround himself with advisers ..." - Hannah Arendt, "Lying in Politics", from "Crises of the Republic", 1972

So, Xi's apparently had a second or third stroke; Trump's declining into dementia, and Steven Miller appeared to have a micro-seizure on live TV; and Putin is in the grip of megalomania. Maybe these aren't the very best people to be in charge of nuclear-armed countries? Just a thought.

Folks, i need a job or a contract so bad. I'm a full-stack developer, i work in several frameworks (including #laravel and #yii2), and with several CMSes (notably #craftcms and #expressionengine but i can also work in Wordpress). I've got SQL wizard skills and a deep focus on #a11y . Please hire me!

"It is not gratuitously, out of sheer sadism, that the SS men [act]. They know that the system which succeeds in destroying its victim before he mounts the scaffold ... is incomparably the best for keeping a whole people in slavery. In submission." -- David Rousset, Les lours de notre mort, 1947.

A Russian woman who is not afraid to speak the truth says: “Of course, our great strategist Putin has many “achievements,” but the most outstanding ones, in my opinion, are the following. He replaced truth and reality with wild propaganda.

Well, at least nobody seems to be engaging in nuclear brinkmanship. That's for the best: I hesitate to think about what Europe would do to gain control of Russian grain-fields if Putin's army deliberately polluted Ukraine's arable lands. www.nucnet.org/news/grossi-...

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

This should put the cat among the pigeons. "If you have bodycams, turn them off," indeed.

Scythes were still in use in agriculture in the mid-20th century, and I know of at least one accident from the 1930s in which a child lost a leg because she got too close to the cutting. Don't underestimate such tools - they really do mean business.

Given the consistent profile of political murderers and mass shooters in the United States, may I raise the modest proposal that preference should be given to gun ownership by non-white, queer and kinky people? That or members of a well-ordered militia, who might police their own.

He's not wrong: Ibuprofen is widely known to be problematic for the unborn child after the 20th week of pregnancy, for exactly the reasons he states. I wonder how many children Nancy Mace has just crippled or killed with her advice.

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 (targeting anti-Christian/capitalism/American speech) is expected to cause the FBI's domestic terrorism watchlist to double, sources tell me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

If you're a girl, definitely. Also, riding over cattle-grids can be entertaining ... So I'm told.

Swan ICE now has Israeli spyware for phones

Thesis: A roguelike game, or one raising the stakes through the "permadeath" mechanic, inherently cannot respect its player's time. This is because the only sanction it can apply to the player is forcing them to start from scratch, which means penalising them through loss of time. Thoughts?

Doctorow seems hopeful here; he may even be right to be so.

At around the 22-25 minute marks, Yarvin, JD Vance’s court philosopher, proposes a system where black people would be made wards of religious ministers, who could force them to work as indentured servants and require them to submit to 24/7 “air-tag” monitoring.

🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”

the endless warm drizzle of spring—the ice of Antarctica, falling softly on the heads of the children of those responsible for melting it.
