they’re putting Kimmel back on the air. I would now like to see the same amount of outrage for the firing of professors for their statements

However, this study will do little to change the fundamental discourse surrounding AI, just as science is currently not consulted on many social issues when it comes to enabling profit or perpetuating the hallucination surrounding it.

If I were a Supreme Court justice, I’d probably think it was in my best interest for there to be a viable mechanism of removal other than mortality.

Hard to think Brazilians don’t see Trump and think that this is exactly the sort of bullshit Bolsonaro would get up to if he were allowed to continue to participate in politics and public life.

Estou do lado do povo brasileiro. As manifestações de hoje demonstram que a população não quer a impunidade, nem a anistia. O Congresso Nacional deve se concentrar em medidas que tragam benefícios para o povo brasileiro.

Italy on strike for Palestine! 🇵🇸

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

Quitting Disney+ and not sure what to do with all that cash? You could pre-order my book and learn all about the many nefarious ways Disney Corp helped build this very fascistic moment in culture!

I’m old enough to remember when NLR wasted pages on a Douthat interview.

this charlie kirk deification is some of the weirdest shit i have ever seen

lol. Emil Bove intervened. The guy that Senate Republicans just confirmed for a lifetime position on the federal bench. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

"Over 70% of Americans Jews oppose Trump's weaponizing of anti Semitism by attacking and defunding universities, according to a new poll" www.latimes.com/california/s...

Cool that the final arbiters of legality in the US are corrupt and/or theocrats.

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

I would love for a single democrat to reckon with the fact that conservatives are not in fact motivated by reasonable concerns. They are — just as they were with ‘concerns’ over blacks and gays and numerous other minorities over the last five decades — motivated by bigotry.

"The road... is filled with people fleeing unpredictable falling bombs, the continuous attacks on their homes, public facilities and shelters." Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud describes the grim situation as Israel pushes deeper into Gaza City and forcibly displaces Palestinians.

The Feast of St. Hate.

“Lions and Scavengers displays the same mix of arrogance and ignorance that we have seen consistently from Shapiro. It distinguishes itself only by the extent of its descent into a viciously dehumanizing worldview that serves to justify acts of brutal violence.”

Unclear why they ask questions of a guy whose only answer is ever “You’re mean to me.”

No more eulogies, just ramp up awareness and pressure on governments to act.

I wrote about the backdrop for DOJ removing a report on far-right violence from its website days after Kirk was killed—that it is part of Trump’s efforts to create political space in which far-right violence can flourish. newrepublic.com/article/2006...

The UN requested ceasefire in Gaza to stop the genocide. The US said, NO

What did I say? bsky.app/profile/cure...

This is happening amid a chronic teacher shortage.

Walking into an evangelical church with a sign that says "you DEMONS are going to HELL" for a fun debate.

Actual sentence published on the Bari Weiss site today: “For help decoding [Tyler] Robinson’s very modern manifesto, I spoke to independent reporter Andy Ngo…”

This is similar to free speech absolutism’s take on Nazi rallies and organizing attempts. They fail to recognize that the content of Nazi speech is the elimination of minorities.

Le Roi.

when public systems claim funding crises CHOP FROM THE TOP CHOP FROM THE COP “U of California police replenishing+increasing their stockpile of military-grade weapons+equipment — including drones, bullets+ thousands of pepper ball rounds — approved by board of regents.” www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

Wildfire smoke could soon kill 71,000 Americans every year. The haze may already kill 40,000 people in the U.S. each year — the same number who die in traffic crashes. Climate change will only make matters worse. grist.org/health/wildf... #Wildfire #Smoke #Climate #Health #Wellness #Disaster

seems like the whole point of having a union would be to strike *in this exact situation*

Jarvis: I hate to say this to my friends here at CNN, mass media is dying, so they're taking the last of these vestiges of institutions that matter and they're trying to turn them into propaganda organs under threat from the head of the FCC

Additionally, liberals have been among the most enthusiastic scolds and scaremongers re: Antifa since the Occupy movement and probably long before.

Certain media figures are probably trying to figure out if they can avoid being fired by being the first to call for their own firing.

Es gibt kein richtiges Leben im falschen.

They did it. They beat inflation.

If Stockholm Syndrome were real, I’d say Ezra Klein and co. have it.

ICE badly injure 80-year-old U.S. citizen who owns the car wash—leave him with broken ribs & dislocated elbow. "They told me: ‘You don’t F with ICE! We are here!’ and then threw me on the floor." "I told them I'm an old man and need my heart medication, but they said ‘No!’" Van Nuys, California

It’s 2027. The GODKING (his name be praised) has embarked to Valhalla with his family and all of DOGE. Meanwhile, ICE warlord Noem and FBI capo Patel battle in the streets for control of the Jesus Federation (Guam, Florida, and the Holy Cities of Waco and Starbase, Texas).

Nothing to add.

trump’s numbers are tanking and there is a palpable desire in the electorate for a real alternative and yet the only money in democratic politics is for doing starmerism

Dem leaders wake up in the morning and ask themselves “How can we attach our names to a bad thing the GOP is doing, rather than associate ourselves with opposition to a deeply unpopular, lawless government?”

Here is what the Trump administration has asked of UCLA. None of this has anything to do with combating antisemitism. It is all about control of the campus and capture of its culture. www.kqed.org/news/1205611...

Shattering his own record for worst president of the polling era.

So many observers pointed out long ago that the TikTok China panic had nothing to do with national security and was really about handing control of Gen Z's favored narrative-shaping platform to far-right oligarchs and they were absolutely right

Patel sounds like a guy who thinks he’s accountable only to his internet bubble, rather to congressional oversight. He’s trying to cover up DOJ malfeasance with insults and fake outrage.

This is quickly mushrooming into a real international incident www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Criminal goon goes on unhinged rant.

New UN commission report just dropped: Israel is committing genocide. apnews.com/article/isra...

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.
