fifty years after the second nuremberg trials there are gonna be kids going into their grandfathers basement and finding these in carefully hidden display cases

Oracle: "I can see your future wife. Her first name is Jo." Oedipus: "...what is her full name?" Oracle: *barely contained smirk, deep inhale*

Well don't I feel stupid

lol

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

To all freelance peers who are struggling to make ends meet this year: it's not you. It's been getting tougher and tougher to get any gigs and many private clients struggle to pay their own bills. Whatever it takes for us to get through this, please don't doubt your skills and value as a creative ❤️

BREAKING: A new Senate report claims DOGE put every American's Social Security number at risk. It found that Russia, China, and Iran are likely aware of the breachable cloud system DOGE set up. Worst case scenario? The agency would need to reissue SSNs to EVERYONE. Great 🙃

Me: sometimes I stay up all night and I don't go to bed. It's called "bonus time". My loved ones: no it's not.

I am actually relieved kids are developing this notion already.

In my life I've seen treatments for AIDs developed, vaccines for Ebola and malaria, and now this. Medical science is one is the areas that still consistently seems to make these miraculous advances and I'm genuinely grateful to everyone involved. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My take on the return of Kimmel.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Oh is it Rapture o'clock already? Boy how the time flies!

Aw cool it's been a while since the last one big fake conspiracy that didn't happen, I'll enjoy the afterglow of it not happening

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Just saw the trailer for Netflix's Wayward Lines adaptation, and it instantly brought me back to the 2015 TV adaptation, and how such a good show could shit the bed *so hard* in its literal final 2 minutes. All in service of that American broadcast standard of quantity over quality.

I've spent the last few years considering my old creative self as kinda gone. Like a campfire where any remaining heat had finally seeped into the dirt and disappeared elsewhere. Watching stuff like Knights of Guinevere always inspires me to think about collecting firewood again.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Well done to all those who have tirelessly campaigned for the recognition of Palestine — an inalienable right of the Palestinian people. Next, the UK should recognise the genocide in Gaza, end its complicity in crimes against humanity, and stop arming Israel.

Absolutely vile. Best case scenario to do this is because you don't *care* how many of your are starving. Worst case scenario is you're doing it to obscure how many you're *about* to starve.

No particular reason

JUST IN: Canada, UK and Australia say they recognize a Palestinian state, per CNN.

The Trump administration is canceling an annual government effort to gather data on how many Americans struggle to get enough food, per WSJ

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

You don't affect anything by engaging in good faith with far right morons on what is now indisputably the Web 2.0 equivalent of Stormfront, because it's a waste of your time and energy by design, and if you don't understand that you're a shitty journalist who needs to get a clue

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

realistic people: period products should be free for students men in their 50s: if girls get free tampons, my 21 year old son Brandon shouldn't have to pay for nunchuck lessons

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Reminder just who it was that removed that fairness doctrine in the first place

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Just got a great set of emails from the FBI.

Trans people just want the right to exist safely as their true selves, like everyone else. But they’ve become easy scapegoats for the GOP, who vilify them and threaten to criminalize their very existence. It's straight from the authoritarian playbook.

regular reminder that the people who created your favorite characters were largely marginalized individuals with antifascist views

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics. This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

The Top 1% of U.S. earners now have more wealth than the entire middle class

BF: Dinner's ready Me: One sec, need to write a post that saves the United States of America

This is a disgusting, horrifying weaponization of the courts to continue the administration’s persecution of Mahmoud Khalil for free speech
