Do these people know that Christianity is a global religion that is 2000 years old? Hard to make sense of the headline unless you think “real Christianity” was invented in 1980 with the election of Reagan and the only people eligible are white republicans (many do think this)

The rapture isn't coming. At least, not like this. The crows know.

Trump’s attack on vaccines yesterday — delivered from the White House — “was the most dangerously irresponsible press conference in the realm of public health in American history” @pauloffit.bsky.social told us. More on Trump’s false claims with @lenasun.bsky.social

Of all the brands to go for you pick the one that held its own through “the tylenol murders” and refused to change its name

I'd say it's clear now that Roberts is the worst CJ in American history. Taney is the only competition but Roberts has done more damage

Pope Leo XIV's interview with a Vatican journalist provides insight into how he sees his role as pope: a bridge-builder, engaging but uncontroversial, and acting as an astute administrator.

every journalist knows they are packaging the entire Charlie Kirk story dishonestly, and they all think it is incredibly rude to point that out

One of the underdiscussed long-term effects of Christians On The Internet being very specific Americans for so long is that the rapture is considered a mainstream belief.

Mostly unrelated but since someone pointed it out it’s kinda crazy how Bari Weiss is the most Postmaterial woman to ever exist. Like, to her the biggest problem in the world is getting scolded on using the wrong pronouns

my question for ahmari: the federal reserve is subject to democratic control — congress can, whenever it chooses, alter the terms of fed independence. how and why is the unilateral authority of the president, exercised outside of rule if law, more democratic than congress’s legitimate authority?

Asriel makes me so emo I hope his impact is just as devastating when he comes to Deltarune

Undertale you are so special and beautiful

i had fun #undertale

Chat I think I just bolted awake in the mountains of Carthage

deltarune is basically twin peaks which is basically orpheus (1950) which is basically hamlet which is basically agamemnon which is a greek tragedy; the word tragedy (greek tragōidós) is, etymologically, according to aristotle, trágos-aoidós, or, a song by goats

Pundits keep treating the median voter like someone who has an ethos, rather than someone who utterly lacks one. They're not waiting for the perfect candidate, they hold entirely incoherent ideas in their head and can't be bothered to sort them out in a way that leads to meaningful support.

The median voter is a cosmic horror that is impossible to understand or satisfy. Ezra Klein is a cultist who has gone mad in service to his elder god.

The guys who helped make shitting on the hyper-qualified women who ran for President cool - including the unfunny one who tousled a fascist's hair while giggling like a toddler whose dad is jangling a set of keys in his face - are probably not going to be the ones to help free us from fascism.

I wonder if his advisors are straight up lying to him about what’s happening

A doughnut is a good example of a food where a true true donut is an unbelievably good food and a modern store Donut is certainly edible, but not remotely the same, but you can see every stage of the process where there are compromises made, and you end up with a way worse product.

I mean, the main value of the asset is the ability to use the shambling corpse of the Post to manipulate public opinion; I wouldn’t say it’s a distressed product

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

it's honestly so funny how little kirk's supposed supporters respect him

The second is that Democratic voters in Missouri and Ohio are, actually, pretty similar to liberal voters in the rest of the country, which means that they tend to want to elect Democrats who represent them, not who represent what Ezra Klein imagines they want.

I read the Nate Silver piece on Kimmel for whatever reason. Like pretty much every other Silver piece, it’s about how hurt his feelings were during COVID/BLM. Dude will never recover.

Dudes rock

We used to be a proper country, where our corrupt top cops didn't have to psych themselves for oversight committees like it's a fucking thesis defense.

Tammy Baldwin remains the highest-WAR Senator. I don't want to hear shit about centrists when a soft-spoken lesbian from the most obnoxiously liberal college town in the country can have a near-perfect voting record and still get reelected on the same ballot as Trump in a state he won twice.

It finally happened: coffee got so expensive at the shop that I just drank a Coke Zero rom the office fridge with my yoghurt this morning

Obviously I’m not trying to downplay the awfulness of what is happening to Khalid and others. But it’s really important not to overstate how risky it is to be a vocal opponent of the regime. That’s precisely what the regime is hoping you will do. They don’t want you to know you can speak out.

Just block anyone who tells you that signing up for a No Kings email list is going to get you sent to the gulag. They are not worth arguing with and they cannot tell you anything of value. This whole debate is an excellent filtering mechanism for feed hygiene.

A new study found that priests who approve of Pope Francis are more likely to adopt a pastoral approach to LGBTQ+ Catholics. Could the same dynamic take hold under Pope Leo?

I just saw somebody say, in all seriousness, "Kamala promised the world's most lethal military, and there was a chance Trump would pull out of Palestine like he pulled out of Afghanistan", and it's breathtaking to see the amount of deliberate ignorance the internet fosters.

One problem with our media landscape is that the stupidest people run big well-funded print stuff and are put on TV to say extremely stupid things where other stupid people nod along and agree.

It’s telling that Trump has already discarded the idea that the Kimmel firing was about Kirk and says the problem is that he was mean to Trump

Guys I’ll just say this and then I’m out for the night: if you can’t stomach the risk of nonpublicly attaching yourself to a huge protest, it doesn’t seem like you have much ground to criticize execs and college presidents who couldn’t stomach the risk of being specifically targeted by the admin

Guys who don’t know anything about organizing or politics love talking about general strikes, huh?

There's so much to unpack -- his childish understanding of the world, his raw nerve of grievances, his sociopathy -- but I can't get past what a whiny, pathetic loser you'd have to be as president to stamp your little feet and cry that the media isn't "allowed" to be mean to you. Mom said so guys!

Donald Trump is a feebleminded, frail old bigot with no redeeming qualities, who is unsuited for any office, let alone the presidency. I am superior to him in every respect, as is every person I’ve ever met. Anyone who treats him as a model of virility or statesmanship ought to be laughed at.

what "mistake" did Kimmel make?

Pope Leo XIV said a proposal to create an AI-version of him so people could have a virtual audience with the pope pretty much horrified him.

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

the skeleton key to understanding these people is that they genuinely think you are a drone who will do what you’re told if the TV says it

It’s so cool how American evangelicals just straight-up worship the Antichrist

Asriel Dreemurr is the christ of my religion

Sometimes I think about Asriel undertale Dreemurr and go insane a little bit

Are people aware that nearly everyone carries a full time logged tracking and communication device and that its public postings and metadata are enough to basically track you where-ever you are and have ever been but yeah email lists

can't really begin to explain the extent to which I do Not want to be filmed without my knowledge by someone wearing smart glasses while out and about
