Sometimes you read something that makes you rethink your distaste for re-education camps and/or gulags

Merry Christmas. Trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax designed to enrich the wealthy and corporations while draining money for the middle class and the poor. Pass it on to a conservative family member near you.

I’m from Whoville, and I say kill the Grinch!

People keep mistaking genuine horror for politicking. The people who supported the DOJ under Biden/Trump condone child rape. They defended officials who protected child rapists. Other people saw this as a clear moral horror and condemned the DOJ. That's the actual divide. It's not between parties.

Old man Potter, the evil billionaire from It’s a Wonderful Life calls the working families of Bedford Falls “a bunch of garlic eaters.” The oligarch class has always tried to squeeze in new slurs to keep the rest of us down. Merry Christmas to all of us garlic eaters. There are no rich men in heaven

Remember: There's always strength in a union. Solidarity.

ME: (sobbing, clutching a pistol) Both of you just shut up! Tell me something only the real Santa would know! SANTA: In March you took a shit in a public bathroom so horrific it made a janitor quit on the spot. OTHER SANTA: Is that true? Me: Yes OTHER SANTA: Jesus Christ. Fuck, man

Very good paragraph here from @cstross.bsky.social on LLMs… www.antipope.org/charlie/blog...

at work, referring to them as "stupider consultants that can give you more bullshit per minute than their human counterparts" seems to have gotten through to some people.

Among the newly-released Epstein files. This Justice Dept email from Jan 2020 'I wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported"

bongino set to leave the admin the same day that the epstein files are supposedly being released to the public? lol

You will be visited by three spirits.

This is the compromise? This is the bipartisanship? This is the civility? This is the return to normalcy? This is the price of winning? WHAT WILL YOU HAVE WON

*yelling from inside the getting kicked in the nuts factory* it's actually insane that you guys won't come in here

There will be a cohort of children born that will be known as the It Happened Party Babies. A microgeneration conceived in joy that hasn't been seen since 1945.

My view on candidates running this cycle is there is no such thing as harm reduction if the candidate is not willing to support Trump’s removal from office. At best that is managed decline. More realistically, it’s active complicity in fascism.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

If you don’t hate everything ignorantly in your 20s you have no heart and if you don’t hate everything well informedly in your 30s you have no head

Nailed it again, Time Magazine!

@umich.edu this is so gross. Shame on you. www.michigandaily.com/opinion/colu...

Private equity: These numbers are shameful, should be much higher than that

Why should I care if the Dems get the majority if they aren’t even willing to do basic things in the minority?

Even if you think, incorrectly, that this repulsive technology has any place in mainstream culture, maybe it gives you pause that the worst people in the world are hell bent on making you use it.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

This whips so hard.

America: Did you order the code Red? Hegseth: YOU’RE GODDAM RIGHT I DID! America: Uhm, it’s a crime. Hegseth: Ok, someone else ordered the Code Red.

pretty remarkable that Costco has more of a spine in fighting for the rule of law than many major universities and fancy law firms

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

To begin with today, happy 117th anniversary to this entirely reasonable cat

I'm thankful for my ICE whistle.

arguing about AI on here today is the coward’s path and you know it, you gotta go do it with your worst uncle

american oligarchs uniformly abandoned a lifetime of democratic support because it was easier for them to believe that “based meme” accounts run by czechoslovakian teens were proof of a mass populist movement in service to elon musk than face the hard truth that most people hate their fucking guts

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

A comeuppance couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys.

My Transition Co-chair Lina Khan and First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan joined Starbucks workers on the picket line today because making NYC affordable means an end to unfair labor practices and a living wage for our workers. We are their partners in the fight to live in this city with dignity.

Hated boss reported to police as a potential trans bathroom invader via anonymous tip by disgruntled employees. "This is the third week in a row they've done this" sobbed the reviled union buster, just returning from a urologist appointment about his recently developed urinary tract infection.
