The corrupt begat corruption

"Horror isn’t merely about being scared: It’s about hopelessness and misery. What else is there to be frightened of? They’re the basis of the genre. This can be seen even in Beaumont’s most seemingly run-of-the-mill and ostensibly 'basic' short stories."

An interesting point raised elsewhere: these boats that the United States is striking don't appear to have the fuel capacity/storage capacity to even reach American shores.

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

This is not the behavior of somebody there to serve and protect. This is the behavior of somebody there to harm and punish. 😳👇

Spot on.

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

O, pity, God, this miserable age! What stratagems! How fell! How butcherly!

If your tent has room for Nazis and racists and transphobes then you’re actually in the Nazi tent, buddy

Every motherfucking thing this gentleman said. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👇

Amazing how we couldn’t do what Brazil did: Bolsonaro Sentenced to 27 Years in Prison for Plotting Coup www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/w...

What else do you all need

Rep. Quigley: It's time to watch what this president is doing. It's instructive in history to remember that, often tyrants are elected democratically at first….

I just saw an article that said a CEO that stole a hat from a kid at a tennis event was the most hated man in America. I feel like that's forgeting someone.

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

This is fucked up

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it. (1/2)

I watched the greatest Superman, Christopher Reeve, deliver this speech about what "family values" really means at the 1996 DNC in Chicago.

Missing John Prine right now. youtu.be/NZ2iDibMjaU?...

Some thoughts on the depraved bill and what it means.

Suozzi: "It just doesn't make sense that you're reducing taxes for some of the wealthiest people, hurting some of the lowest income people, while blowing the biggest deficit in the budget that we've had in the history of the country. Those things just don't add up."

They are coming after Obergefell next. Y'all aren't paying attention. www.axios.com/local/richmo...

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

My contribution to this effort would be not dropping bombs on other countries, but I’m crazy like that

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

🤦🏼‍♀️

New euphemism for authoritarian lawlessness just dropped

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Remember when this pic of Elián González was a national scandal instead of a daily occurrence?

What’s funny to me most because this is when I get labeled a “weird glue person” in interviews because when anybody asks me what books I MAKE people read about moderation all the time If I can only make you read ONE It’s the Laramie Project www.matthewshepard.org/the-laramie-...

say it again: 4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

Sign of the day…
