We’ll pay you in exposure (tranq you and bury you in snow)

Even Media Matters, which is actually doing to good work here, is framing it around the messed shit and not "the official account of the president on the website that same president owns just posted a video of THAT SAME PRESIDENT saying something he never said"

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

you ever had your boundaries crossed real aggressively and insistently by someone who insists boundaries are incredibly important and is constantly inventing reasons to scold you because you're Bad At Consent. you know how it's supposed to teach you that you're beneath moral consideration

Anyone who signs this pledge is not a journalist.

this mindset exists because a significant amount of people, especially americans, believe mind control literally exists and fiction is the most mind-controliest form of mind control. alleged "progressives" have found a way to secularize the concept of demonic possession

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

if you read one thing today, make it this absolutely devastating piece from a fact-checker who quit the New Yorker bidoun.org/articles/hou...

A bill introduced by Michigan lawmakers last week would ban pornography, ASMR, depictions of transgender people, and VPNs for anyone using the internet in the state. 🔗 www.404media.co/michigan-por...

I’m criminally under-familiar with Redford but instead of fixing that today I’m gonna try to rewatch Sneakers and his Twilight Zone episode because that just feels right

Benched (2014) could have been one of the greats

Nope. We're done. We are going to back to a text only internet. Y'all had images and sounds and fucked it up too bad. We're going gopher mode. We're getting gemini pilled. You're going to learn to use telnet and like it. You have one movie, it's pretty good.

Hey, now, you have to remember context when you quote the man who wanted gay and trans people to be killed and thought Black people were stealing jobs. He actually hedged his arguments a lot more, because in addition to being a racist, he was also a coward

“And by the way, right there you see all the trucks” is going to make an incredible epitaph. A tribute to one man’s brave and civil work

Tyler Robinson's Glorious Ascent From Dead Meat Tranny To Actual Human Boy Deserving Of Life

"We have to cancel kristallnacht 2.0 because the guy was one of the people we were grooming to take part in it" is a heck of a twist to be sure

none of my business if a bunch of other dipshits decide to unleash all their neckblood all over the ground. that's between you and the walking frog memes who keep shooting you

It may feel like media speaks as one voice, but in fact the number of journalists, editors, writers, presenters at prestige/agenda setting outlets has shrunk unimaginably. It may feel like political actors all agree, but the parties are hollow shells made only of funders, consultants and sycophants.

If youre feeling disoriented by this week's extreme "nothing here worth saving" vibes, it's worth remembering that the memberships, size, employee and supporter base of these institutions have been shrinking for decades, but that has the monopolistic effect of making a small segment seem more total

for a certain type of parent, losing a child due to ideological differences is an acceptable loss. their job is not to nurture. but to cultivate, and cull what does not grow to serve them. we are trying to be different. we hope you see, that we are trying. michael's: you can call us dad, if you want

oh yeah? what's the extreme position, you gonna bleed louder?

King of the shitlibs. Here is his thumbs-up to the silencing of anti-genocide protest. There is no progressive principle he won’t sell out under pressure because he doesn’t actually hold any.

Yeah we really don’t need to explain any memes to make this case, this is pretty clear

God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

this fucking kills me. congress: "with the death of this close personal friend of the president, we have to honor him. we propose to have a large fully erect gold statue out in front that you have to blow before you're allowed inside and you have to pledge allegiance to charlie kirk" trump: "whO?"

WSJ just committing straight up blood libel against trans people

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

I am going to go insane trying to explain to liberals what an unambiguous Nazi signal the Valhalla thing is

Spooky season approaches, so here's a favourite of mine: Odilon Redon's 'It Is a Skull Wreathed with Roses. It Dominates a Woman's Torso of Pearly Whiteness,' 1888.

This is the American media landscape on the whole, the performative catharsis of taking out the trash while also being funded by and doing the work of the trash

The irony of sucking up to real white nationalists while hitting ones made of paper

the ghost of David Lynch crawling out of video tapes of his own movies like Sadako to take the hearts of everyone who didn't fix them

charlie kirk died for what he believed in. in a very literal sense: he believed in a world where gun deaths are inevitable and the solution to problems is violence. he excused his own death years before it happened. and if anyone else had been killed he'd already be weaponizing and relativizing it.

Just cause Kirk didnt shoot people personally didn't mean his words and influence were not vastly more violent in effect. Thats just a more comfy type of violence for you all.

I get feeling bad that we are in a place where political violence is the norm but its telling that a lot of people who brushed off the assassinations of democratic politicians, the genocide in gaza, congo and elsewhere, & actively participate in shitting on trans people are saying this needs empathy

I actually think it would be sick as hell if the Democratic line was “lol. lmao”

It’s not considered political violence to dehumanize people until they’re so ostracized by society that they take their own lives. It’s not considered political violence to make policy choices to intentionally kill people by depriving them of life saving healthcare.

I'm actually being pretty heartless right now. which is ironic, considering *my* heart is still functioning and will continue to carry oxygen to my alive body for the next 48 hours at least, unlike a certain someone! but seriously, someone should notify his necks of kin

Idk about u but I don't think it's actually why fascism is happening, clowning on our enemies for having predicable consequences of their own deeply fascist actions done on them, I don't think our behavior is why fascism will happen to us more again, actually, usually it's most fash who say that

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

I prefer façade and theatricality because I'm not intrigued by reality and never feel compelled to portray it. My favorite cinema depicts worlds so unreal that they uncover profound meanings far beyond any "authentic" account of life. —Amanda Kramer

You know what honestly I know republicans are thinking about climate science and vaccines but when I think about industrialization and the internet I think maybe science has actually been a net negative

Did you know Anime Sickos made a free narrative game about going back in time and bugging John Lennon? He talks like "oi you're a bloody wanker love" the whole time. I dare you to name one other podcast who would do this. They are too scared.

It would be better if Dems in DC approached issues with the mindset of "how can I accomplish Democratic objectives?" rather than "I need an excuse to avoid conflict with Republicans" or "the Democratic base is always wrong, my job is to keep them in check and avoid doing what they want."

The official DOJ Twitter account posting the equivalent of a screenshotted Notes app apology from a phone on 30% battery after the acting director got honeypotted on Hinge and confirmed plans of an Epstein/Maxwell coverup.

Yoooooooo

The sheer terror on that reporter’s face, the instinctive move to inch the mic away from him. This is the climate we get when liberals do all their coalition building with fascists
