Once the debate centers on whether the 2nd strike was legal, the first 21 strikes have been accepted as baseline. But the murder of the two survivors doesn’t make the other 21 any more legal. Selective outrage, not silence, is how authoritarianism becomes normalized @tadstoermer.bsky.social

a billionaire who sees undermining political sovereignty as an alternative to paying a relatively minor fine is a problem that will have to be dealt with eventually

"I can play the guitar like a motherfucking riot" *worst guitar solo ever*

Had the same thought yesterday.

This cannot be overstated. They hate women, and to the extent they engage with women it's to use their exterior appearance to give a sexual gloss to their atrocities. With or without the permission of those women.

One of the biggest tells that the wealthy largely lack imagination is how many of them have built replicas of the White House or the Oval Office on their property.

WaPo is reporting that Bradley told lawmakers that Hegseth DID give a kill order.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

the AT&T acquisition of Time Warner and DirecTV alone triggered a massive layoff wave of more than 50,000 (!) people. But each time the press covers a new chapter in Warner merger history that stuff is just completely memory holed. Why do you think that's done editorially, do you wager?

Stop appearing on far-right propaganda networks. Stop posting on their trash sites. Stop sitting on panels with them. Stop being friends with them. Don't shake their hands. Don't try to meet them halfway. Don't gotta hand it to them. Ever. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Let's tell people to take horse dewormer instead of vaccines during a worldwide pandemic killing millions -- like how did you even think of that?

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

OK I’ve put together the list. Shame on all of them: Ford CEO Jim Farley Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa General Motors plant manager John Urbanic National Auto Dealers Association Chairman Tom Castriota Transportation Sec Sean Duffy Deputy transportation Sec Steven Bradbury 1/2

The CEOs of Ford and Stellantis, as well as senior executives from other auto manufacturers, standing beside him while Trump goes off on another vicious racist rant about African immigrants. Not one of them had the courage or the dignity to walk away. bsky.app/profile/just...

it should be a red flag that “indiscriminately targeting immigrants” is still getting cast as a “stunt”

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

Tired: Die Hard is a Christmas movie Wired: Blade Runner 2049 is a Christmas movie

I really think that even most people who think language policing was a huge problem over the past 5-10 years have no patience for the disgusting little freaks who have tried to bring back "retarded" as a slur. It's just so low-rent and such a tell that the person using it is not worth your time

This being named a NYT Notable Book of 2025 seems to prove it's thesis

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

I love AI, it's so smart.

Greene spewed the worst vile poison at the left for years. After two weeks of being on the receiving end of that right wing vitriol, she's throwing in the towel. Lame. Lame and weak.

post leftist intercept comment section types are just so eager to buy into the delusion that fascism can be negotiated with Trump is shallow and was briefly charmed by a charismatic man, by tomorrow he'll be threatening to nuke woke daycare centers again there is no coalition with fascism

Pluribus sounds like the name of a libbed up NPR podcast

As one former Fetterman advisor texted me, “I think what comes across is the reality of who he is, which is a petulant child who never became a man and is always the victim of his own narrative—even though he’s never had a real job and lives off his dad’s money. It's all pretty sad and pathetic.”

happy trans day of remembrance. you are beautifully and wonderfully made and I will never stop fighting for you. the world is better because you are in it

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

xAI is currently in talks to raise $15 billion at a $230 billion valuation. The flagship product is self-identified "MechaHitler" chatbot with training so warped it describes Elon Musk as more physically fit than LeBron James. It is powered by gas turbines poisoning South Memphis.

I regret to inform that Gritty is in the Epstein files.

How about less migraines and more ourgraines.

There’s a pattern in TV storytelling that’s been hanging around for a long time, but it’s recently proliferated into a full-blown scourge. Why do so many shows keep making episodes that feel like unnecessary homework?

Lizza seems like a creep who is also trying to maximize both his revenge and boost his blog at the same time. But connecting Nuzzi with the guy who made "hiking the Appalachian trail" a metaphor for cheating is genuinely funny.

Jaw dropped. Trump Administration Removes Report on Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Calling It DEI Content

You got wormfished by a guy who eats roadkill and looks like fucking Krang. A guy you were tasked with covering neutrally, for half a milly a year, while he ran for fucking president on an "every disabled person should die" ticket. Well, now your career is back, and so is measles. Well done.

Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.
