[tapping earpiece] I'm just now getting a startling revelation about the shocking thing in common between those who work forces and those who burn crosses

I can't take Near Future sci-fi seriously cause it always looks exactly like this

ive been watching niche nerd youtubers sounding the alarm about this since I was like 12. it's been surreal watching all the things they said were bad about it, rather than anything being done about it, instead having those things blow up to encompass the entire consumer economy

Andre 3000: “what’s cooler than being cool?” Neil degrasse Tyson at an OutKast concert: “frozen solid in the standard measurement but I would go further as zero kelvin is…” Andre 3000: *signalling to security to remove Neil* alright alright alright alright alright alright…

the only difference between this guy and uncle rico from napoleon dynamite is at least the athletic achievement uncle rico never shut the fuck up about was real

It gave us the great Disco Elysium Vance video:

the most pro-rape administration in history, lead by a rapist

Nobody. I do not think you can eat chair

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

This is the UK Labour Party, the left-liberal party who took power in a wave election after the fascist-adjacent conservs melted down. We MUST prevent the US Democratic Party from turning into this. It is an essential priority. If they come to power and do this it will destroy America forever.

man this image is just a carnival of horrors. every corner has a different person who shouldn't be standing there. There isn't a single normal part of this photo

We should take it way more seriously than we do that these unspeakably wealthy and powerful men are publicly equating summary judgement and public execution with their gender. That’s real sick. Real real sick. www.thenerdreich.com/joe-lonsdale...

No one is normal anymore. When someone insists on there being a "normal" to return to, they're really signalling that they want some people to shut the fuck up and be like them for their own comfort

Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

To propose that GenAI can compensate for "archival silences" perverts Trouillot's work. It's is a contradiction to say that a product whose logic exacerbates power imbalances--creating a most-likely guess based on the existing record--can restore absences that are the product of those imbalances.

Sitting in a comfortable home with a steady income; living a life of almost unbearable tedium and routine; fantasizing about the psychopathologies potentially unleashed by the fall of civil society, the only freedom still possible for him.

More of this nationwide please!

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

Coming around on the Chapo theory that he's leaking all of these to generate headlines that prominently mention him having a girlfriend

Even as a Millennial TurboLiberal for whom this website is made I have to admit I get pretty tired of reading about one trillion problems I neither understand nor can solve. "THOUSANDS of octopi are dying off the coast of Madagascar" alright I'm not in charge of that. That's not my job.

Making capitalists “pay their fair share into society” means all of it. They do not produce. They own. Their fair share is nothing. Labor is entitled to all it creates. It’s important we understand this.

A bitch loves to groove...

Man, the Bluesky Wrapped 2025 is pretty brutal

I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.

When you're an adult the magic comes from being nice to the kids, hanging out with your family and friends and all that. That shit rules and you don't even need it to be Christmas for that. I feel like they just want to be a little kid with a toy instead of a friendless adult

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

just kinda funny that the sentence "since the former CIA officer won the governorship, Virginians will get legal cannabis for adults next year".

I just really hope that normal non online people are as disgusted as the rest of us

Part of the problem is people think what persuades them is logic and facts. In reality, most people's opinions are shaped primarily what they perceive to be the views of the community they're in. So if you hang out with Nazis all day, it starts to feel "normal."

Please support @liberalcurrents.com . We don't just call the president openly corrupt, which he obviously is. We also say stuff like the screencapped below. Your donations will be matched until we hit 70k! gofund.me/a5b2b33d8

maybe i am going insane

He knew the potential of pigs and frogs as anti-authoritarian icons and that's why they shot him with the toxic shock syndrome gun. Learn.

I would like to say that the online MAGA people are NOT in fact the persuadables. They aren't going to be brought *onboard.* That will happen or not in actual community with people. Sorry.

Reality is a fuckin cartoon lol

with the "Department of War" account on here not getting suspended for death threats I think it's fair to say that if you make a joke about killing someone on here, it's bad but if you mean it, it's fine? I dunno, policy needs tweaking I think

bro looks put together wrong

Trying to get ahead of that Joyce Carol Oates dunk

genuinely have been thinking about this all day i cannot stop laughing about the second verses lyrics

Sherman has impeccable comic timing

Genuinely, a corporate death penalty would be an appropriate remedy in many regulatory incidents. Imagine a situation wherein no individual is found criminally liable for a massive harm to the public by a corporation. Automatic death penalty, since it organized itself to dissolve responsibility.

And this is what they call “the ole Chappaquiddick Farewell” in the Kennedy family, dude couldn’t help it, it’s in his blood.

They finally built a machine that can simulate peaking on edibles

Why are we even having this conversation at all. This entire conversation should just be “fuck this guy” and then we all go on with our lives confident in the fact that we kept another Nazi out of office.

Saw a clip of Cillian Murphy talking about enjoying using his normal accent in film and why the fuck would you have a guy who can do an Irish voice not do the fucking Irish voice in everything? WE DONT CARE, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the biggest star in the world playing guys named “Tom Miller”

Platner

Yeah guy's evil unfortunately
