This is no more lawful than if Iran / North Korea / whoever blew up a couple American yachts in the Mediterranean for suspected drug trafficking. On the legal spectrum it sits in the middle of a Venn diagram between overt acts of military aggression, state-sponsored terrorism, and simple murder.

Pay people you like on the internet folks, it’s going to be rough out there

Soon they will know

I'm very very tired but it feels too early to go to bed. COVID vaccine took a day to fuck my ass up.

Big money idea: A daycare for super-speedy hedgehog children called Sonic Youth.

Happy Anita Bryant Humiliation Day

The whites are literally arguing it's literally *unconstitutional* if they're not OVERREPRESNTED in Congress.

First day at the Pentagon

The entire economy depends on this horseshit so it's your patriotic duty to ask the computer to honk your bingus several times a day

sam altman laughs richly as he hangs up the conference call with one of those despicable admins from my dark past. he has just bought all my erp chat logs

only surprising thing about the racist young republican groupchat is that jd vance wasn't in there dropping crylaugh emoji reacts

this is, without hyperbole or satire, exactly where we are at now

POKEMON PINBALL JUPITER CORP 1999 (Captured on Gameboy Color)

yes, i do want it to be impermissible to call people slurs in public. that is the moral ground i am staking out. i want people to be afraid to express their views that are bad in public, not because they will be killed, but because they want to live in a society

the end is always to define what is acceptable in a society. it's not really a "both sides are doing it" thing, because that is the reason for the existence of the sides. without the it there would be nothing for the sides to do. it is, ultimately, a moral question, there's no getting around it

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

i’m rotating you in my mind with your favorite snacks just out of reach

It's cool that domesticated pigs *immediately* go feral. Like, basically overnight their bodies literally transform, they reshape themselves to become faster, stronger, better predators. Which is one reason why they thrive so well in disasters.

huizi spoke to zhuangzi, saying, "the king of wei gave me the seed of a big conker. i unboxed it, like it was nature's labubu. not that it wasn't hugely big, but it wasn't useful, so i destroyed it." zhuangzi said, "you, master, are certainly clumsy when it comes to unboxing nature's labubu."

how it feels to get insurance to cover my lifesaving medicine every few months

“you can’t make fun of this” - famously an edict that the military obeys unquestioningly and would never disobey out of earshot of an officer

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

If you understand what's happening here, this is very very bad lol www.texasstandard.org/stories/texa...

People online will just say anything. “The far left loves Nick Fuentes” no they don’t, that isn’t true.

I will never hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene. I *definitely* will never hand it to Nick Fuentes. If I ever met that troll-faced little toad I'd go "your body, my choice" on him.

When stories start popping up in multiple outlets saying liberals are warming to MTG or Nick Fuentes, and they’re not, it’s probably a good thing to start asking why. And then, remember that Bush Era Republicans and the Cheneys were embraced and then liberal think tanks got funded by the Koch’s.

I love old movies. If you're looking for actually good movies from 1935 to watch, might I recommend: Ruggles of Red Gap Traveling Saleslady Bride of Frankenstein If You Could Only Cook The Whole Town's Talking

Just in case the dramatically low Leni Riefenstahl-style angle was too subtle, they used a word from her most famous movie

Drew's work, even on the silliest of the EU novels, lives rent-free in my mind.

Whenever I see men complain about the male loneliness crisis or unique emotional/psychological issues faced by men, it’s very clear that they just don’t see women as full people capable of experiencing the exact same emotions they do

"How's your week going?" Skeletons in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night:

Grurn is a lich who dwells in Fort Firemoth. Sellus Gravius will tell you that Grurn and his undead horde "literally marched out of the ocean and overran the garrison there." The lich captured the shield artifact named the Ward of Akavir, which the Imperial Legion seeks to recapture.

"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

No joke about Charlie Kirk has as much bite as Donald Trump's gloating that he survived and Kirk didn't

“The humans won hands down when it came to notes, which require actual analysis rather than just distillation. The AI programs were ‘an almost total fail across the board.’” Nice to know I wouldn’t have been so easily replaced at my old job by an A.I. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

can't deport them somewhere they want to go

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

Capital and fascism, bedfellows often and again.

Anyone saying the word tankie online in 2025 will be forced to relocate to a place currently collapsing due to climate change. Thank you for your attention to this matter

"as low as $6,400 per person"

tangentially: can we be done with the fantasy that progress is inevitable and young people are proof of this?
