OH MY FUCK THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT

call me montresor the way i want to have this man bricked up with no witnesses

in addition to the trade war and the oil war and the war war the US is now also losing the Posters' War

once again telegraphing that in 2028 Vance will run, absurdly, as the "anti-Iran War" and "Israel skeptic" candidate and the media will help sell this insane lie.

AGAIN: the #1 predictor of a mass shooter is violence against women. Cops perpetrate VAW at higher % (though exact # unknown ofc) than the gen population. At some point our culture must take seriously the fact that this is a real red flag. It requires hating women less, though.

“Villains!” I shrieked, “dissemble no more! I admit the deed!—tear up the planks!—here, here!—it is the beating of his hideous heart!” www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

After WW2 the French did what the US did *not* do in Reconstruction or denazification: it executed the collaborators, even those who merely lent unofficial aid, drove them into poverty, stripped them of political power, and marked them as untouchable filth.

If you ever watch Carl Sagan addressing Congress from I think 1985 he literally just point-by-point goes through all the things we’re experiencing now and touches on how much worse things to come will be People had the broad strokes worked out over a century ago even It’s infuriating.

by their supposed rules they should have arrested every single gc who mocked Brianna Ghey’s murder. the uk is a bigoted anti trans police state

this is why i hate when people do the “haha it’s gender affirming care” shit when cis people do it. it’s not gender affirming care it’s gender enforcing care

Just three years ago, Pat Ryan was among the 22 Democrats who voted to censure Rashida Tlaib

literally this meme:

there are accusations from the 7th century of an examinee whose family paid someone to scale the building he was doing the exam in and tell him answers through a window.

When guys are like “that’s not rape, all my friends have done that,” that’s exactly what we’re talking about. That’s the problem. Rape is so common and unpunished that a guy could casually reveal all his friends are rapists and not see it as a problem.

So. I did it. Lotta people gonna be mad about this one. Show it some love?

Here's my Lindsey Graham obit. While most people are focused on his late career villian arc, I will never get over his sneering, hysterical defense of an alleged attempted rapist. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I've been catching up on my news tracker, and you could throw out all the rest of my data and get an eerily accurate sense for whether a news organization's editorial tone is open-minded or hostile towards the trans community based purely on whether the word cisgender ever appears in a news item.

If the word cisgender is used - at any time, by any writer - the entire news organization exists in a reality where the word transgender is a neutral description of a type of person. If the word is never used the news organization exists in a reality where transgender is negative.

Der Vorstand der Böll-Stiftung @janalbrecht.bsky.social leugnet übrigens weiter den Völkermord in Gaza.

J. K. Rowling is trying to destroy Amnesty International for supporting trans people. Amnesty International was one of the first human rights NGOs to recognize the genocide in Occupied Palestine. Amnesty International repeatedly recognizes conditions in US prisons as violating international law.

Anti-Platner predominated here not b/c it's ideologically monolithic but b/c everyone from Never Trumpers to radical socialists came through the common experience of not wanting to use the website run by and for sexist and racist internet trolls who like Nazi imagery. Pretty good filter on this one.

The media is even hedging its description of that diarrhea plane video as "seemingly AI generated." That whole "the job of the media is to look out the fucking window and find out" has very clearly stopped being a thing. "Seemingly" as if maybe that did happen, who is to possibly say it did not

we had a visitor today! #birds

Writing headlines is hard. You have to compress an article into a phrase or two. And you have to fit an exact and usually inconvenient line space. Two images below: What the NYT is running on line. (h/t @jaywillis.net for calling this one out.) And what would fit exactly the same space, by me.

evelyn normielib is real and she is coming to a primary near you I cannot count the number of conversations I’ve had with normal offline liberals that would be TOS violations over here

she literally spells her own name wrong because that's how Lindsey taught her to write it when she was a child. I assume she will carry on all of his other mistakes in an official capacity. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

stop. if you think the existence of a warrant is part of the conversation in any way, you cannot, by definition, argue that it makes any difference whether the guy they killed had a warrant or not. because right guy or wrong guy, an arrest warrant isn't a death sentence.

I woke up the next morning and discovered Sam Neill had replied to my last tweet about Event Horizon We followed each other at the time, but he followed a lot of people and I didn’t tag him so I just assumed he wouldn’t see it Except… 5/

clicking "next" a few times and selecting the time zone you want your computer's clock to display is incomprehensible to the average person on the internet. big tech turned everyone into 75 year old grandmas who get mad at you when you tell them the purple gorilla is malware and needs to be deleted

This is the funniest possible tribute he could have posted.

Proof of life photo for Mitch McConnell.

i generally agree with this take but there's absolutely a subset of people who go out of their way to make it known that they *don't* like using their proprietary software but will act like you just told them to hack into the pentagon when you say that the FOSS alternative addresses their complaints

it is not elitist of me to suggest you try LaTeX. it is weird how many people suggested that it was. im just sitting here in my smug tower offering a free software that makes a beautiful product. fuck me right

Interesting to see McConnell honoring the ancient pharaoh's tradition of taking your pet along with you to the afterlife

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

i stand corrected

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and a parasite that the CDC no longer monitors has given me explosive diarrhea. But at least now there’s no plaques honoring Black scientists at the Smithsonian.

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers

😘

Lindsey Graham's last words were "Mitch McConnell still survives."

“It might feel like you’re ‘saving time and money,’ but you’re actually slowly turning your brand into something generic like all the other brands out there using AI tools.” www.404media.co/we-are-livin...

On the exact same day that Israeli Jewish settlers in the illegally occupied West Bank held a US Congressman at gunpoint with US made rifles, they also attacked a CNN news crew

What venture capital fails to understand, again and again and again, is that building a development team is like building a sports team. It’s THE TEAM that achieve things; not the uniforms. You can’t just “drop 6 from the headcount” and, at some point, hire 6 other people back.. not how it works.

Apparently, Amnesty International pulled their list of anti-trans hate groups, so I should probably re-post this. ashley-nein.notion.site/19101d3e04aa...

It's Friday! If you encounter law enforcement, other than identifying yourself in a stop-and-ID state, the ONLY thing you should say is "Am I free to leave?" and "I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT." And then SHUT UP.

There really is an onion article for everything, apparently

Alarming story that confirms my own reporting along similar lines: Dan Moraff, the political strategist who plucked Graham Platner out of obscurity to run for senate and barely vetted him, was barred from Rep. Summer Lee’s 2022 campaign after three complaints of sexual misconduct.
