whos in the social media bubble now you gooncel freaks

Rest in piss Dick Cheney, you would have hated these election results 💜

most of the last decade of my career was a frantic effort to warn as many people as possible about the dangers i saw coming in the near future now that all the stuff i saw coming is here, i dunno what to do other than maybe start a Warhammer 40k podcast

SCOOP: several days ago Zohran Mamdani was overheard saying he "needs" to eat dinner. An inside source confirmed he had eaten breakfast and lunch that day, giving him an estimated 2+ weeks without additional calories before he might have died from starvation

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

So no terrorism then?

Such extremism! So much terror!

Block and move on.

I’ve never been able to see a Magic Eye poster, and 3D movies don’t work for me, but strangely I can see the swastika perfectly.

MAGA is essentially distilled white grievance culture.  If they have nothing to be angry about, they will make something up.

The US doesn’t protest “Like the French” for a variety of reasons but I think the biggest one is that our cops have military grade toys and won’t hesitate to shoot us.

I don’t care much for the football man’s wife’s singing.

normal Portland Friday night things: sitting on your friend's porch listening to choppers and cessnas and then checking ADSB exchange to see which craft are running with their transponders off or without callsigns and which you can actually document.

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

Sigh. If shutting down the government would truly shut down the entire government. I want it to close forever like a poorly run restaurant after all the workers walk out during rush.

Wakes up, checks Bluesky: “Escalators are woke now?”

If the Rapture only happened to people who believe it is a real thing, this would be a much more pleasant and sane country to live in.

This is my 10th rapture, can I get the next for free?

White dudes have not been sending their best this week, that's for sure.

So there was a mass shooting at a New Hampshire country club. Fortunately for white people Donald Trump has a plan to stop white on white violence by harassing brown and black people in Chicago who are minding their own business.

Was wondering if @lastweektonight.com would address the Kimmel stuff briefly or make it the "main story" (even though its "main stories" often involve months of prep and research). Looks like they went for it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohPT...

This CK response from the right has me curious about how they'll be responding when Dear Leader's arteries finally give out.

This is what they are trying to do with Charlie Kirk, btw. Straight out of the Nazi playbook. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_W...

sorry i was sleeping instead of watching the horst wessel televised grief pageant

Using popular media that channels the same ideas as revolutionary literature is infinitely more practical than trying to get people to read some obscure political tome. Meet people where they're at.

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

So now that we’ve got a national holiday for Saint Kirk, how about a Vietnam-style memorial wall listing the names of all the victims of school shootings? We could call it “Martyrs of the Second” and update it weekly.

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

If you’re wondering how all those free speech warriors are handling this, it’s never a bad time to remind yourselves that conservatives don’t have principles.

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

We should make a list of everyone who doesn’t properly mourn the Jimmy Kimmel show and get them all fired

Little change I've become more aware of lately: All the streaming service algorithms are suggesting christian movies, bible documentaries, and right wing coded shows, despite me never indicating an interest in any of those genres.

i guess fundamentally i don't have trouble imagining an American carrying out a public shooting for almost any conceivable reason. it's just something we do over here. availability of firearms is obviously a big part of why but not the only reason.

been very hard to watch a bunch of 50-year-old podcasters come to terms with having a job.

NEWS: Gov. Kathy Hochul has endorsed Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor "We’ve had our disagreements. But in our conversations, I heard a leader who shares my commitment to a New York where children can grow up safe in their neighborhoods and where opportunity is within reach for every family."

*watching innocent people rapidly acquire the cursed knowledge that has driven me to madness* oh no

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.
