I don't know, Aaron. I think we need to take this seriously. In fact, after surveying hundreds of years of history in the past few days, I've written an article assessing the originalist case here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

the mcdonald's AI ad was so telling, because the team admitted it took weeks of work to get even a few clips that looked like a commercial, and still you could see without looking closely that legs were bending the wrong way and stuff was levitating. garbage. complete scam.

A 5-month-old baby died, & 3 surviving children, ages 2, 4, & 5, had to be hospitalized with rickets, osteopenia, vitamin D deficiency, & significant developmental delays bc their parents put them on “alkaline diets.” Anyone saying alkalization has health benefits is a murderous liar & a charlatan.

TPUSA is just a Young Republican front group. This wildly inappropriate and, not a lawyer, but…also illegal?

"Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” — John F. Kennedy Jr. “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” — Robert F. Kennedy Sr. "Mommy milky." — Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

I took some sleeping weed edibles, has melatonin in it, still awake and feel shitty. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT PERFORMATIVE FORGIVENESS AND THE ASSHOLES WHO ENABLE HARMFUL PEOPLE.

Sabrina Carpenter: Braver and more powerful than Nintendo and Microsoft combined.

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

Look, we’re not Nazis. We say the same things they said, and commit the same crimes. But that’s where the similarities end.

2028: "Strong rope, no floor"

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

Even by the standards of The Atlantic, this is an extraordinarily weak evidence base for an article. Data from a tiny handful of schools that isn't measuring the variable at issue and a few thin, secondhand anecdotes. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Fuck you if you support him.

lot to unpack on this subreddit

My latest this AM with @warontherocks.bsky.social. Of note: "[Military officers] will be active participants with choices to make about the degree to which they continue to serve civilians intent on undermining the liberal values enshrined in the Constitution." 1/ warontherocks.com/2025/12/the-...

If the US can do whatever it wants to whomever it wants with no regard for human rights, the Geneva Convention, US law, the UCMJ, or international law, then we are no different than Vladimir Putin and Russia, who I suppose was the role model for Trump foreign policy doctrine.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

"The Republicans in America long imagined that they were enthusiastic about the Republic, the church, and the beauties of the old American Constitution, until the day of danger wrung from them the confession that they are enthusiastic only about soybean sales."

This drunken ignorant oaf

Roblox is a trash organization and I would sooner let my kids play a AAA gorefest than play it. could not be more obvious how little they think of children.

Nigel Farage has been a lifelong racist. He's been a racist since his school days. David Lammy was forced to apologise for saying Farage flirted with the Hitler Youth - but what do you call it when someone sings Hitler Youth songs? Read Chloe Deakin's letter on Farage's fascism and racism at school.

So here’s what apparently happened: they tried to indict Comey on the last day of the statute with a three-count indictment. The grand jury rejected one. Rather than cross it out or indicate on the indictment that only two of the three counts were voted upon, Halligan creates…/1

Maga #metoo news cycle today is "yes, I'm a pedophile" I give you Pedocon Theory, ripped from the headlines by @liberalcurrents.com @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-t...

The Christian right for decades has fear-mongered that federal agents (under Dem presidents) would "criminalize" Christianity and literally prevent them from worshipping. Now that Trump's stormtroopers are doing it ... crickets

If Democrats release files showing that Trump was complicit in Epstein's pedophilia, and Trump tries to distract from it by starting a war with Nigeria or Venezuela, then Democrats will have blood on their hands.

Trump did the thing, everyone knows he did the thing, and he's got an entire political party and associated media apparatus trying to cover up his clear involvement in the thing. One of the sickest, most sordid chapters in an especially sick and sordid period of modern American history.

I'm going to say this very clearly: if you hand it to MTG on literally anything, anything at all, you are a fucking rube

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.

America didn’t win WWII through “inferior tech," it won through organization, integration, and strategy, as well as the myth that Nazi Germany’s “exquisite” weapons outclassed the Allies, and critiques how the media keeps misusing history to sound profound. My latest⬇️

These people live in terror. They are dominated by a million infantile fears and given control of the state monopoly on violence, have militarized that fear. When it offers no succour they will lash out in increasingly erratic ways.

an entire movement of foundationally ignorant, cruel zealots

It's not a smear campaign if you *actually* have a Nazi tattoo!!!

Okay I’m reading it now and, no surprise, it suuuucks in exactly the ways you would expect.

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him. And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it. But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.

I, for one, support our new Canadian overlords and would like to remind them that as a trusted bluesky personality I can aid in rounding up Americans to toil in their maple syrup mines.

Ivermectin bots are here. They name search William Makis and try to boost his scam. You know what to do.

I don't want to exaggerate or be controversial but it kind of seems like AI is a huge steaming shit taken on everything by techbrahs who are not fully normal or human

Look I know this is exciting but Zhao DaShuai is an unhinged conspiracy theorists, Li Chenggang does not have the authority to do that because that's not even remotely the way the Chinese political system works, and that investigation had already been happening Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

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!!!!!

If you keep lowering your standards to “win” against the other side, eventually you’ll just be on the other side

The fact that Republicans get upset about tearing down confederate monuments, but not demolishing the White House, says a lot.
