Credit where credit is due, it’s very funny that Lane gave us a specific day that all of this mess would be resolved and then when that day got here he just ghosted all of sports media and the entire internet

Me Too Two: This Time We Mean It

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen multiple times The Jayhawks Southern Culture on the Skids Los Lobos Reverend Horton Heat The New Pornographers

Update: it's good!

Oh fuck no

One deeply underappreciated aspect of MAHA is how much it's often a fig leaf for domestic abuse. I'm not surprised doctors on the ground belive men are withholding kids' vaccines as a way to control and terrorize their wives. They obviously are! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/o...

WalMart is acutely aware of what its customers can afford to pay. Slashing the cost of the Thanksgiving package is a canary in the coal mine for the economy. They could have downscaled to keep the price the same but they chose to cut $10, because that was a bigger draw.

Slavery in the Americas did not emerge wholly formed in all its horrors, but rather developed - in the worst possible ways - out of traditions and markets long pre-dating colonialism. But this isn't exculpatory for American slavery.

So yeah, sometimes when people bring up pre-modern traditions of slavery, including in Africa, and the role of Africans in the Atlantic slave trade, its clear where they are going politically and its more useful to shut that shit down.

I searched “america business forum jerkoff dance” on YouTube and it was what you would expect. Just saying.

I don’t see the video of a crowned Donald dumping shit on a crowd from a plane as a distraction from what Donald is doing, I see it as a double red underline to emphasize what Donald is doing, and I wonder about those folks who don’t think they live in the same country that we do.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I cannot possibly care about Charlie Kirk any more than his widow does.

Yeah, this is kind of funny. This must be the reason for the firing. youtu.be/uVHQ8WLba68?...

IT MIGHT BE IT COULD BE IT IS A CATCH

Steve Bannon is a troll. This talk of a third term is projecting a false future with Trump in it to make him seem like less of a lame duck.

I guess that's like tautologically true but someone making minimum wage at Wal Mart will not starve to death without SNAP, they will just have to start living out of their car or forego medical care or make some other horrible accomodation to poverty because of the money they now must spend on food

At some point they'll discover the Czech Public Benefit Of Smoking study. (Short version: cigarettes are amazing for state finances, smokers generally live to retirement age able to work - paying normal taxes plus cigarette taxes the whole time - then tend to die quickly, incurably, and cheaply)

Not even Lydia Bennet was this fucking obsessed with a ballroom. And she didn’t have a flailing super-power to manage. 🤔

Hey you Canadians, you’re so mad at us that you want to destroy the White House again? Beat you to it. You suck.

The AI video of Trump taking a dump on protesters points back to something else we've written off as fake. But now I really wouldn't put it past him to hire someone to piss on the bed Pres. and Mrs. Obama slept in.

The emotional appeal of fascism is the promise that the Strong Daddy leader will restore you to a time when you didn't have to worry about paying bills or think about hard, complicated stuff like racism or sexism. The tradwife thing is a similar flavor.....

you could never make Soylent Green today

“Do you know how much Obama gets paid for Obamacare? I hear it’s *a lot*. I plan to replace it with Trumpcare. For a lot less money than what you’re paying Obama for Obamacare, you can have healthcare provided by the people responsible for Trump Casino, Trump Steaks, Trump University, Trump Shuttle”

And now she’s talking about the difference between “beach and urban” environments, and how Huntington Beach should be careful of the urban people from Long Beach. I got a warning from Pat Burns for calling out “that’s racist.”

This is ALL I could think of (to self soothe) while taking in the horrifyingly incompetent cruelty of this week’s ‘mission’ in Chicago. They did this for the footage - so remind them they look like THIS when they try to use it as promotions performative bullying. #huthut #huthuthut #stupidkills

If I got worked over this badly I'd be furious, not impressed, unless they is I didn't get worked over at all.

No joke: one of the most racist, idiotic, dangerous things I’ve ever read. A stunning inversion of reality, turning segregationists into terrified refugees, while actual victims of segregation are transformed into a kind of invading horde who seized inner cities by force - and should be now removed.

Donald told farmers on April 1st to grow crops for the domestic market this year, but did they listen? Noooooooooo….

That's part of why I wrote this. It's important to understand that MAGA is not "real" America. On the contrary, the reason they're all so fucking bitter is they know most people aren't like them. And they resent that. www.salon.com/2025/10/01/m...

Salem has become an increasingly blue shade of purple during the 25 years I've lived here as that subculture of white evangelicalism has shrunk in terms of how many people live inside of it...but many in that subculture have also taken on a more embittered and angry attitude toward their neighbors.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

I’m becoming more and more concerned that people at high levels of public discussion cannot identify the difference between a genuinely viral conversation vs a bunch of bots making noise.

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

One of the arguments in the Trump birthright citizenship SCOTUS petition is that citizenship is granted to citizens: The Fourteenth Amendment Grants Citizenship To The Children Of Those With Primary Allegiance To The United States, Such As Citizens And Lawful Permanent Residents

But fundamentally, if a shutdown happens, it happens because Trump has decided to stonewall people whose votes he needs and get his attack dog Vought to threaten people instead, using Democratic desire that people not be hurt against them.

Sinclair would have had to cancel itself for quoting Charlie Kirk

The reason they mourn Charlie Kirk but forgot about the dead kids is because they thought they could live in a high trust society and everyone else in a low trust society despite it being the same society.

libs don't go post up outside of Saddleback Church and do change my view debate videos because nobody fucking pays them six figures, plus a camera crew, plus security, to do so

trump doesn't really know the difference because trump's relationship with "truth" is not one that any reasonably sane person can interpret, he will believe whatever he is told in the moment he is told it and will believe the person who tells him something contradictory five minutes later

I just saw this disembodied quote (we do really need to stop doing that) and thinking yeah I bet that same person is really upset by 80% white much less 80% white male representation.

Nothing could honor the memory of Alfred Nobel more than letting folks know what everyone else will say about them when they pass away. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_P...

Yo dawg I hear you like hate in your hate

i don't doubt their ability to immiserate and destroy. they can do and are doing immense harm here and around the world. but i guess also shouldn't feel the need to poop my pants because jd vance is doing his best downfall rant hosting a podcast from the white house

weird that the people who loved Charlie Kirk the most want to engage in a violent crackdown on disfavored groups and the vile purveyors of violence just wanted to make little jokes online and move on

I’m not so interested in Kilmeade per se (though he’s an important data point) so much as the general tendency to escalate to more and more violent solutions to whatever ails society.

People don't understand that civil conflict looks like your neighbors dragging you out of bed in the middle of the night and executing you in your living room simply because they're suspicious you might be a political enemy, and it really shows sometimes.
