The most insane thing to me here is that antifa is not actually a thing. It is all made up! I feel like we're all living in "The Emperor Has No Clothes," but no one in the media is pointing out the nakedness.

He was at LSU at the same time that Jay "torture memo" Bybee was teaching Con Law 2, and *probably* took it with him. (My source, who was in law school with him, isn't 100 percent certain because it's been a long time, and she didn't think Mike Johnson would have this kind of career.)

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

Republicans focused on single issue advocacy on issues like ending abortion and they didn't give up even when they lost. try believing in something and having values. if those lying fuckers can be consistent in opposing rights, the dems can do it in protecting them

The situation in America is not great. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

It is an inexcusable omission, and editorial malpractice, for Reuters to omit mention that the President doing this kind of thing on a media platform he owns & has not divested is unprecedented, likely illegal and an ethical violation. The message itself is unprecedented and illegal. Why not say so?

My dad, an organic chemist, always said that if you went past a chemical plant and a flare was on, "some dumbass is just burning money."

!!!!

I'm not a Swiftie by any stretch of the imagination, but "Did you girlboss too close to the sun?" is by no means as bad a lyric as many that I've heard cited as GOOD examples in opposition to it. Here's the thing: when you get down to it, most lyrics are kinda mediocre as poetry! And that's OK!

a friend just texted me to say she’d found our favorite piece of journalism of the 2010s in the Gawker archives and I must reiterate - as I have said on here before - that I do believe this is where the internet peaked on March 20 2014 and it has all been downhill from there

The Supreme Court wants to allow conversion therapy so that's why we have oral arguments in Chiles v. Salazar this morning. The Supreme Court wanted to allow Christian people to refuse to serve queers, so that's why they issued an advisory opinion in 303 Creative v. Elenis. Everything is rigged.

New from 404 Media: police used a nationwide network of Flock cameras to search for a woman who self-administered an abortion, said it was for her 'safety'. But new docs show they considered charging her with a crime as part of a 'death investigation' into the fetus www.404media.co/police-said-...

Guys, did Paramount really pay $150 MILLION for a substack that has 100,000 paid subscribers?

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends tech weirdo: and shitheads np: no just my friends tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender? np: we just want to hang out and goof around tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then np: no shitheads tw: not following

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

For every horrific act of fascist abuse you’ve seen video of in recent months, there are hundreds that you’ll never even hear about.

There are lots of more glaring and physically brutal basic violations of rights going on but it’s weird how ICE just seems to be freely stealing and wrecking people’s possessions too

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

There are too many novels/plays/TV shows inspired by Fleetwood Mac, not enough about *literally any other band.*

This is one of my favorite pieces of historical jewelry! It's so cool, and I wish that the Met would do an ancient jewelry show to spotlight things like this.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Can’t decide whether these Statue of Liberty rubber chickens that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” are a little too on-the-nose for these times or if they’re perfect

This is a fantastic piece. Open adoption is a much better way to go, but, even in best-case scenarios, there's trauma and loss involved in every adoption.

Smarter than *us*? Speak for yourself, bucko.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

As the child of an Army LTC, I find the whole idea of a National Guard major lecturing the entire assemblage of high-ranking military about *anything,* let alone implying that he's superior to them, incredibly hilarious.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

So exhausting..

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 doomed us all.

Your reminder that they cannot arrest millions of people no matter how hard they try. They lack the infrastructure, they lack the personnel, and the economy would straight-up collapse They are going to try to scare us by making examples out of a few people, and our job is to not fall for it

1) I did not realize Kimmel also calls him "Bobby Brainworm" 2) no wonder potus is screeching mad 3) it is difficult to imagine anything more befitting this ridiculous era than a co-creator of "The Man Show" turning out to be American Zelensky 4) in this suit, he cuts the figure JD Vance cannot

Happy pub day to @ilanaslightly.bsky.social, who is both one of the best people and one of the best writers out there! I just got my copy of BEINGS today, and I'm so excited to read it!

One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.

Sleater-Kinney is opening for My Chemical Romance next year in Minneapolis, and 2005 me is VERY CONFUSED about that pairing, but 2025 me is VERY JEALOUS of midwesterners.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Every time I hear about apocalyptic rapture weirdos, I think of the class I took on apocalyptic literature in college, wherein a major point was that there are always apocalyptic weirdos out there.

Because it's a probability machine! Not something that knows or understands facts!

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

Happy September 21st to those that celebrate!!! 😃 💃🏾🕺🏾

It's a little too on the nose that this era's Horst Wessel was a podcaster.

I know that's right. I never took organic. Regular chemistry whooped my ass plenty. You think I can explain what a mole is now without the aid Google? Tuh. Respect these people. Respect their knowledge and expertise. We don't have to die asinine, preventable deaths.

“A reporter who publishes only what the government ‘authorizes’ is doing something other than reporting,” said Katie Fallow, deputy litigation director at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University @katiefallow.bsky.social

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

The world is terrible, but I just overheard two little girls talking about our 12' Skelly and his dog: "The doggy is so cute!" "Oh, the skeleton lost his BUTT!" "Oh, yes, yes, he did! He lost his butt!" "I love him!" There are no missing bones, btw. I guess his "butt" is his missing flesh?

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

LinkedIn tells me that my profile has been searched by various people from various news organizations in the past week, so... what has another Elizabeth Keenan been up to? Because I haven't done anything interesting.

Kimmel was cancelled because he showed a clip of Felon47 being unfeeling about Kirk's death. People are being fired for quoting Kirk accurately and in context. The administration has declared war on reality.
