Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Alright, let's do it. Here's a little prospective reader's guide to every Thomas Pynchon novel. We'll take them in order of publication. This might be a long thread. Buckle up! 1/x

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

The moment where Hegseth ends his speech and not a single officer claps is the most hopeful thing I have seen in a long time.

{if "laugh-in" was on in 2025} PERVERT: Say, doll — what do you think of these TARIFFS? BIMBO: They're awful! I tried to get human trafficked, but they told me they couldn't afford the taxes and doodies!! PERVERT: You mean "duties"? BIMBO: I wish!!! {🎶horns🎶} JD VANCE: Sock it to anyone but me

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

Remembering Leonor Fini on her birthday 🎂 - and #caturday! 📷 Martine Franck, Paris, 2004 "Her art is the crack in the mirror, the edge of the equation, the dream of tremendous import half-grasped upon awakening, whose meaning dissolves with daylight." - Catherine Styles McLeod

Rene Magritte Les vacances de Hegel, 1958

Are you one of those people who cannot imagine the Guard in their beloved LA? It's not particularly my beloved LA. Can you imagine us in NYC? When you get there, ask me! Hmmh! How about Chicago? Well there are certain sections of Chicago, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade.

If the nazi site is nicer to you than the non-nazi site then that might be a you problem tbh

Have you ever wondered what Mark from Peep Show would look like if he was exposed to the manosphere

Yeah I don’t care if you’re a socialist, a Blue Dog or Bill Kristol, if you’re an enemy of fascism then you’re my ally, and if you care more about your status in the democratic coalition than about beating fascism then you have to go.

i am afflicted by a deep and terrible disease. i will not see heaven.

"What a lot of books! Are they all different?" - Sugarpuss O'Shea (Barbara Stanwyck), Ball of Fire, 1941

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I know I'm a broken record BUT WE CANNOT FIGHT BACK UNTIL WE ADMIT WHAT IS HAPPENING. None of the new nativism rises out of real concerns. It is demagogic hate, like pogroms or lynchings. The far right is creating an underclass to exterminate because that is how the far right builds and holds power.

The Agami Herons at Agami Island continue to surprise us, as even more are arriving to the rookery here. This bird is doing its courtship display as it seeks a mate. Some of the birds now have laid a second egg while others are still busy collecting nesting material. #birds #herons #costarica

Those “I bought this BEFORE I knew Elon was crazy!” stickers don’t actually mention cars. You can put them on your furniture, appliances, pets, etc.

see what you need to understand is that they’re coming hard at california bc if they can take us down then it tells the smaller states there’s no point in fighting. we’re the bellwether. that’s why it’s so important we stop this shit NOW.

"Mass deportation" is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism. As it was always intended to be.

Youth Pastor: You know what other superhero was race swapped?

This is the only meme you need.

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

Next to Trump and Musk, Shatner and I look like adoring newlyweds.

There's a man in back of this place. He's the one who's doing it. I can see him through the wall. I can see his face. I hope that I never see that face, ever, outside of a dream.

Is this our first Pope who could have conceivably had Malort?

maybe the tiny minority in our coalition we can easily sacrifice without damaging our broader project is actually transphobes

Everything about this scene -- the obsequious lickspittle kissing Trump's ass, the wildly optimistic Fox News chyron, even the stupid little hats promoting Trump's saddest achievement of the first hundred days -- feels like a Make a Wish event for a dying presidency.
