Over the past two weeks I've begun to realize that rich people only started funding chatbots once they could no longer email Jeffrey Epstein

Make cigarette-themed rugby shirts great again

I know everyone means well with their 'scoop this reporter up immediately' endorsement posts but christ — who's doing the scooping? What's left? Thinking about our industry this way, like this is a momentary setback and there are ample open roles, obscures the truth about the rot at its core.

2.5 million Epstein documents are still unreleased with the DOJ saying no further prosecutions are likely to take place. That alongside the failure to redact the victims in this case is a complete and utter moral failure. Release all of them now.

The war on work from home is in large part a war on women having a career btw

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

If you contrast the willingness to strike of Americans versus French people, and you don't note 1. Number of Ams. with healthcare vs. number French ppl with same 2. The eagerness of Am. police to use chemical warfare against people vs. the eagerness of Fr. police to do same Then 🤷‍♀️ to your content.

"This has never happened before in our history" oh my God, you really DON'T need any qualifications to go to Congress. You don't even need to pass history. Christ, what an asshole! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timelin...

Since ol' wrinkly-sack, whatever his name was (I love that I've already forgotten it lmao) has blocked me: He said something like, "The whole U.S. suffers from influencer brain, it's get-rich-quickism," and motherfucker, no. The whole U.S. except for the 1% is going broke and being terrorized.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

This evening, the message I want every political consultant, strategist, aide, secretary, staffer to return to their spineless toady bosses with is: "We tried, but they're just not buying it. They stand firm on 'abolish ICE'." These children deserve nothing less. apnews.com/article/trum...

lmao I don't hate to bring it back to landlords. Fuck 'em. Nothing but parasites. Tapeworms slithering through the guts of humanity.

We let these decrepit do-nothing motherfuckers in Congress get away with coasting on words for too long.

Because worrywarts refuse to let them grow accustomed to hearing, seeing, and using it. We should use it MORE, not less. You do not move the Overton window leftward by accommodating moderates. It has moved steadily rightward for at least the last 40 damned years. The "center" is now far right.

my Blackest opinion is that the presumption of conflict between "America has a long and deeply rooted history of violence" and "we can and should fight against today's version of that, as did those who came before us" is less a philosophical debate about how to treat the past and more a skill issue

This was always the next step. Step 1: Keep "undesirables" out. Step 2: Keep people in, because obviously with the way things are going, way too many people gonna want out. They want to decide how many people there are here, what we can do, where we can go. The actual people don't get a vote.

This is so goddamned infuriating. Jonathan Ross, an ICE agent who just MURDERED SOMEONE, is a TEN YEAR veteran of both ICE and the US Military. This is not a training problem, but Schumer is saying it is because he's a Democrat, the party of people who want everything to be solved by someone else!

AIKMAN: yeah you know Joe, Aaron Rodgers here has a chance to cement his legacy, something he said he first considered in August after snorting ayahuasca out of his own asshole BUCK: Gainwell muscles ahead for a gain of 2

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

Cite me a time in history when an authoritarian government decided, of its own accord, to dial back the murdering. When it said, "Maybe we killed too many people last year. Let's be more judicious." You can't cite one because there has never been one, nor will there ever be. Death tolls rise.

Whatever happened to not posting bullshit from ding dongs on X over here. I don't give a single smothered and covered shit what Matt Walsh and fucking catturd are saying about Venezuela.

Bardot didn't have "lowest moments." She leaned all the way into her racism, plus a bonus side of homophobia. It's more like her animal rights advocacy provided rare bright spots in an otherwise hot racist mess of a life.

Note that this is all shit that would never have gone away in the first place, had anyone bothered to check in with consumers; but I am told we now live in a "post-consumer economy," and I have to say, that seems accurate. Also bad.

Brigitte Bardot really Britta'd her life.

The seventh reported death of an immigrant in ICE custody THIS MONTH.

😂 WOKE CALIBRI will never not kill me. Rubio is stupid with two o's. I wish they'd obsess more about unimportant minutiae like that, though, honestly. Can we convince them that their real beef is with Big Typography? "It's not the immigrants, sir; it's the Avenir Next."

Nor more lonely. Deservedly so, but mysteriously, they do not seem to enjoy the hell they continually create around themselves. And yet. webcomicname.com/post/1855884...

mitt romney in 2028 on his mastodon account: let trans olympians compete!!! gavin newsom, polling at -20% against jd vance: we need to privatize social security so palantir can compete with china

Let’s stop paying for Congressional healthcare. They can purchase it in the marketplace using their bribe money and insider trading proceeds.

I think as you can clearly see by this very thread's own comments most things are "the best we're ever going to get" from Democrats because they've realized they can half-ass anything they want and whenever it doesn't work it will always be the fault of the left for not voting hard enough.

What will it take for the U.S.'s reporters/scholars/pundits to stop being shocked when the Supreme Court does the 100% racist things IT WAS APPOINTED TO DO. We should be leafletting their neighborhoods with tips on how to shun the daylights out of these shitheads, not acting brand new to this.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

On Dec. 4, 1969, Chicago Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were assassinated by Chicago Police and the FBI

I love this answer to the question on Trump's cabinet picks.

“What I saw [the rubble in 1944] was a byproduct of two armies fighting, and what I see in Gaza is deliberate destruction.” Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos talks to Mehdi about comparing the actions of Israel with the destruction of cities in World War II. Watch: zeteo.com/p/holocaust-...

Nicolette Larson’s “Lotta Love” debuts on the Billboard charts 47 years ago today — a cover of Neil Young’s tune. “I remember the day Neil heard her version,” said producer Ted Templeman. “He smiled and said something like, ‘That’s how the song should’ve felt.’ He was genuinely knocked out.”

Unfortunately, but perhaps predictably, this post has inspired the question, "why would anyone need to lie about their location?" followed immediately by, "there oughtta be a law." The question needs to be flipped: Why should anyone online be required to divulge their location?

The better question is why anyone would suppose the NYT to be a force for good in our present condition. NYT responses to historical events to search in the archives (theirs or the internet's): --the Russian revolution --the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti --the Holocaust --September 11, 1973

Is this shit real?

It takes a special genius to ruin the fucking World Cup. I might not even watch it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

while we're far enough out from an election let me just say that "electability" as a cudgel works precisely the same way as this, convincing people that any failures of candidates are because people voted their own preference instead of the preference of consultant-imagined political opponents

If these people are ever thrown out of power, I hope we all understand there is no reformist pathway for institutions like this as much as Dems might desperately wish and claim there is.

"We need a huge tent, big enough to accommodate Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street!" How about a tent big enough to accommodate someone slightly to the left of Bill Clinton? "What? No! Ew!"

This should cure everyone’s imposter syndrome
