IG Farben beat him to the punch.

The greatest moment in broadcast television history.

Cannot wait to hear the call to prayer echoing through the city from the Empire State Building

The long Kazakh-Israeli war is over HE'S DONE IT AGAIN FOLKS 👏 🙌 🇺🇸

Genocide and trans rights purity tests are good actually.

This photo encapsulates Trump better than the combined word count of every article ever written about him.

Hahahahahaha we're ruled by cadavers

Buddies, how about we talk about what truth is and then later discuss masculinity and femininity, if they exist, if and how they overlap, and if they really need to be brought into politics because you're kinda sounding like Mussolini on NPR, just a soft voice expressing gender essentialism

I accidentally doxxed myself pls don't send screenshots of my leftist rants to my boss Mr. P. J. Wetherby I'm pretty sure he's still on aol mail pls I HEREBY REVOKE PERMISSION TO SEND MY WORD PICTURES TO MR WETHERBY (UCC 1-308-1 1 308-103 and the Rome Statute)

Had no idea the Democratic Party had leaders in Africa

"Should We Sterilize Ross Douthat?" is the article I'm submitting to the NYT and I think it raises some questions!

Did Ross Douthat Give This Newspaper Rectal Cancer: A Dispassionate Inquiry

As I was ranting on before, even if feminism *had* ruined anything, AND IT HAS NOT, you must still grapple with, wait, why were dudes not hiring them in so many fucking jobs On what grounds do you build your hypothetical civilization, Plato Douthat you fucking cacogen

Oops, enjoy becoming the Whigs you arrogant retrograde dorks

Thinking back to this excellent concluding paragraph from @lioneltrolling.bsky.social's Substack post after Zohran Mamdani's initial primary victory:

Please go through the fundraisers in the replies here and give what you can. Thank you.

The reason I went on this rant is because people (mostly men) are talking about population growth and if we consider population maintenance or growth of value (a big if) then we should consider falling fertility Instead, the mostly fascist men who talk about population talk about women and abortion

Lol

Looks like the Birchers weren’t entirely wrong about domino theory

I know, I know, there is no electoral destiny but lololololol you dumb racist shits put Virginia and Georgia in play omg if only the national Democratic party had any intellect or vitality

He knows when to smile and he knows when not to smile, to stand up and shout That said, when people of color use their power in public, this is often when the white power structure kills them and I cannot tell you how scared I am they'll kill him

PSA

Egalitarianism is a social inevitability. There are no historical inevitabilities; societies degrade and collapse. But given a sufficient degree of social organization, you will always have two arguments 1. Some people are inherently superior to others 2. No they're not The second is right

This is a splash of cold water. Enjoy it after you celebrate. And do celebrate! But also brace for capital to strike back.

After the fumigation is done the city will be like new

BREAKING: SEALS TO DICK CHENEY'S TOMB FOUND BROKEN, GUARDS SLAIN, AND BODY MISSING

These great patriotic Americans decently murdered hundreds of thousands of families, so much better than that crass old tRump

♥️

A few million Cambodians would have had a better impact on the world than a Kissinger, as I believe that the world is worse off for us letting Dick Cheney commit mass murder in Iraq and Afghanistan He deserves hell, but hell only exists on this earth, which we allow to be ruled by men like him

musk [placing a finger on cuomo’s lips]: shhhh you had me at “I’m a sex offender”

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Dick Cheney won't see your mean tweets*, but your friends who've lied to the American people to knowingly prosecute an illegal war will *There's no phone service in Hell

He made secret prisons He made kidnapping policy He lied to the public He hid from the press He ran the executive through offbook agreements He expanded surveillance and assassination He destroyed any lingering reforms imposed after Vietnam and Watergate We're here because of him I'm glad he's dead

I think America has both failed to encourage European rearmament and fostered dependence on the continent, but ultimately Europe deserves blame for its Russian blindness. It has been 80 years since WWII and 11 since the seizure of Crimea Europe has dicked around for decades. Time to grow up.

Making the active choice to withhold emergency funding and starve large swaths of the country is “political violence” and it should be reported and viewed as such

Let me guess, is it because Mamdani is offering to make their lives materially better/easier through specific policy proposals?

The Weimar government, facing Soviet style uprisings and putsches, used the Freikorps to brutally enforce order The Biden Democrats, facing, um, wait what? Some kids sat on lawns? They had flags? They were chanting slogans? We greased the rails for Trump over this?? What the fuck

One of the best magazines around, subscribe for great fiction and articles every month!

Agree with this whole 🧵 Assad was the devil, Syria needs normalization, Israel must withdraw, and religious nationalism is a dangerous ideology everywhere it appears I actually think Westerners can handle these discussions but our leaders use "good Arab, bad Arab" to justify empire

Christians say they honor the Jewish texts so they should recognize the story of the scapegoat

Gender essentialism is killing people

Like many things in America's weird ass vestigial welfare system, SNAP is a secret subsidy for suburban middle class shoppers without them being aware of it

One day I'll try finishing The TV Witcher but to be honest, something about Season 3 felt wrong from the very beginning and I haven't finished it still If it's not totally obvious from my non political grumbling, I'm on a very big dark fantasy kick. Very little onscreen scratches the itch

People frequently say Tolkien was autistic and I don't know. There's more to autism than intense preoccupation. But it is true that great art is, by and large, made by monomaniacal weirdos and not a committee of marketers. Weirdly, Disney understands this in its theme parks, but not its films!

But they had a robot who didn't like to be touched, remember that little dude, Star Wars is as good as ever

Do some of you remember how I said a few months ago that the fascists aren't having fun? They still aren't, lol. Their parties [when they have them] SUCK. They make bad art. They aren't funny. They CRAVE Leftist popular culture & resent the fact that they do. They aren't actually having fun

America is a pretty juvenile country but one thing that bugs me more than it should is the common belief that Halloween is a cosmically sinister rite, a gateway to true evil

Imagine being an alleged journalist who can't Google
