cake for some, cholera for others

Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.

"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

I’ve missed the Twitter experience. Over here, when I say hello, nobody responds with “what about black on black crime in Chicago?”

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

I just want to once again congratulate every business and media outlet who tripped over their own dicks to take right-wing outrage in uncritical good faith and ruin peoples’ careers over extremely tame internet comments about Charlie Kirk 48 hours before immediately forgetting he ever existed.

It’s fascinating how they simultaneously love him for being a horrible person but are in denial about how horrible he is.

Indiana Senate Republicans and Truth Social Commenters are willing to tell Trump he's gone too far, meanwhile tech execs are like "Trump is daddy and I am babby"

I love how Trump’s toadies always try to stay on message but their leader is a demented pea brain so he just shits all over their message every time.

I thought 2016 was the worst but 2025 is absolutely the worst.

The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.

try to live your life such that gavin fucking newsom is not a better person than you

He has 50% approval for immigration. It’s his highest issue approval, but that doesn’t make it broad.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

I can understand, even if I disagree, why French wants to try and empathize with the concerns of these RW culture war types. But that empathy is just reinforcing their whiny, spoiled attitude when what they need to be told is to grow the fuck up, those aren’t real problems.

Funny how they never, ever even consider that they are at fault, either for their own failures or for their consistent insistence on voting for people who don’t care about them.

these mfers love talking about God while radiating evil like an unshielded reactor core

"how dare you call our agents fascists" at they literally wear black leather belts across their chests and full-length black leather jackets

These people are monsters.

!!!!!!!!

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Inportant to understand and shatter the myth of adoption as it exists in America, as fixing its deep and dark flaws is a bedrock of understanding human rights at a foundational level and I am grateful my friend Tony has educated people like me on this issue, as well as books/movies like Philomena

"You don't want to be on the other side of Donald Trump" because he's a mob boss who uses violent rhetoric to turn people into targets for terrorists. With the support of fascist politicians like Jim Banks.

I shouldn’t have to share this article as much as I do. Sending condolences to all friends and family and loved ones from the Brown Shooting today. www.newsweek.com/2025/07/18/f...

I promise if you’re not Jewish and don’t know any Jews quite well you really do not understand the level of justified paranoia baked into most public Jewish gatherings: Security at swimming lessons at the JCC, off duty police outside a bar mitzvah as a favour, etc. It shocked me.

the myth of the adoptee as vengeful destroyer has real consequences. one of the commonest arguments against letting adopted people view their own vital records is that, equipped with this knowledge, they are liable to appear on their birth parents’ doorsteps and set about destroying their lives.

I wish everyone were like Flavor Flav.

This is wildly anti-Semitic. It’s also wildly anti-Semitic to not think violence against Jews is impossible and that it has to be a false flag. Being wildly anti-Semitic while denying anti-semitism - what will they come up with next?

One of the funniest thing about Hallmark movies is that someone will have packed enough to stay for two weeks, including multiple long wool coats, but it all fits in a carryon. Every time.

I love how Republicans are like, “the 2nd amendment is a death pact and we have to give everyone a million guns in order to comply with it. Nothing can be done; it’s set in stone,” but have spent the last 11 months trying to violate every single other provision of the Constitution.

Wow. Democrats just flipped the Whoville Mayor's office, which has been held by republicans since 2003. This is in a Trump plus +30 area too.

I don’t understand what this means. This country is full of pieces of shit and we’re supposed to - what? - change our beliefs to match theirs? Just be quiet because we’re not allowed to disagree with them?

rare post that gets better with every single word

someone in the replies looking up this property and realizing the price is so low because it was a meth lab is such an amazing commentary on right-wing delusion simply perfect. chefs kiss. 10/10. no notes

People love to be fooled by AI of animals acting like humans.

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries. A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."

Just saw a Parkland survivor post about being on lock down at Brown University. We've failed generations of kids with our gun fetish

so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings. insanity.

I just have trouble believing that the median American is as obsessed with Erika Kirk as Bari Weiss is.

Death cult.

The RFK, jr effect.

Dan Richman is a professor at Columbia Law School and a leading authority on criminal procedure—not exactly an ideal target for Fourth Amendment violations. I’d love to see what his Crim Pro exam looks like this year.

Bad policy that nobody except weirdo DC thinkfluencers actually cares about? Let's do it

No one can even point out facts.

You're giving her a free pass to be horrifically rude to customers as long as her rudeness is racist! Do you not see that?

If she hadn’t used the n-word she claimed to be racist, they would have been fine with her being fired for just being so crazy rude. But they want to coddle her for being racist? What is HAPPENING

i want to be clear about this: worker’s rights also includes the right to be free from racist or sexist or gendered abuse at your job.

there is a certain condescension in the idea that “racism should be publicly unacceptable and come with consequences” is an attack on the “working class.”

Wanting to allow harassment at work but leftistly.
