the regime moves to increase how much formaldehyde and radiation we are subjected to: gizmodo.com/trumps-epa-p...

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

killing piracy, killing physical media and ownership, killing residuals, it was all an impeccable coup by tech companies, who are basically just landlords who extract rent from people who make stuff. they make billions, everyone else loses

It was bad at FDA 5 months ago, it has now become a total disaster. 90% of senior staff gone.

for the first time this century, deaths globally for those under 5 are increasing, as imperialist countries like the US, UK, France, and others actively pursue policy to kill more colonized people: www.npr.org/sections/goa...

a majority of people when asked did genuinely believe just that, just like a majority listed trump as ‘good at business’ in 2024 as well. never ever underestimate the american voter’s inability to know things. that said there were also plenty of white supremacists who knew and wanted this too.

the entire conservative project depends on the destruction of the idea of truth or facts or community, because it can’t exist in a world with those things. they have been waging this battle for 50 years and are winning and need to be stopped.

i kind of wonder if the delta is really driving the dissatisfaction here given most people liked 2019. that would give really bad motivation to politicians unfortunately if people liked 1% growth followed by 2% growth vs. 4% growth followed by 1.5% growth

we are barreling towards a century of catastrophe here www.npr.org/sections/sho...

there is really no context in which an american president has ever openly spoken like this, not even like, the really old slave owners. this is just completely vile in a way that is poisoning the entire planet and has to be ended with him and all his cronies in prison for life

1. Cars are the biggest source of climate pollution in the country. 2. Transportation is the biggest household expense after rent/mortgage. 2. State and local gov't could cut these numbers by about 25% in five years without any federal policy. Somebody solve this for me, what should we do? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

seems p bad

since covid there has been like one brief 12 month period of relatively stable prices and ease of acquisition of PC parts, but other than that it has just been continuously fucked in some way pcpartpicker.com/trends/price...

wow if only everyone with a brain had predicted this. unfortunately, that disqualifies business owners

rfk jr once again comes out in support of killing babies and children, and this is just the world now: apple.news/AZPp1YipKRme...

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

for the first time in decades, tokyo is no longer the world’s largest metropolitan area

they are asking everyone in michigan to not travel for the next 36 hours lmao

absolutely incredible

Missouri AG, seeing petition signature gatherers having success in challenging the latest Gop gerrymandering of the state, baselessly tells ICE the petition workers are illegal immigrants, so they'll go jump them and interrupt their work. www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

“you mean it’s all Baumol’s Cost Disease?” “it always was” etc.

the science of social media being harmful or not over the last 10 years has generally not been super definitive for either side, but if true and as overt as the lawyers up against meta are saying here, this is a massive salvo for the “it’s bad” side: www.theregister.com/2025/11/24/m...

all these people were cowards of the highest order when they had a million chances not to be. hope they’re treated like worse than garbage for the rest of their lives

trump and his base hate people and want to kill people

for what it’s worth, trump fans never were pro peace, they were always against any military action if Dem and/or woman in charge, & for killing and warring against anyone trump told them to. it’s really that simple, & it why his base isn’t giving a shit about Venezuela, or Biden ending the drone war

My “Unlike Enron” shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

they have opened a million pandora‘s boxes like this because they believe either A) dems won’t use it against them Or B) dems will, and the corrosive tit-for-tat of it all will be more favorable to conservative/anti-democratic positions and further destroy the country

over half of americans believe violating international to murder civilians is cool and good

If we were moving in the right direction politically and culturally, chiropractors would be in prison

american housing preferences are just like all others. people want services but no taxes, roads but no construction, etc. they want big yard for kids and dog, white picket fence, but they also want to be 2 seconds from movie/concert/stores and jobs.

every single thing is continuing to coalesce around “never trust anything or anyone” and has been for the last 45 years, and eventually that will just destroy society

aliens haven’t visited us and done experiments on us because our brains are too broken for them to want to

Economic and social precarity always enables abuse. Perhaps that is why the Trump administration has gone to such great lengths to destabilize large swaths of American life. trib.al/4nOWV6m

part of my pet theory that people back in the day were happier because they had less access to info about the world, even though people today are better off, because most people don’t realize it but pretty much every expense benchmark in 2025, even when including housing/food/etc.…

impossible to even fathom the discoveries, lives saved, pain prevented, and more, that this regime threw away

fuck cancer rebecca was amazing

ended a strike in outer worlds 2 by simply killing their boss

ok this is probably really old news but playing katamari with a trackball is so fuckin cool

when the dust has settled, the largest body count will be those who have been killed at the behest of ending all foreign aid, and there appears simply no political or mass will to even try to bring it back: www.thebulwark.com/p/this-may-b...

incredible series of delusional claims by a patented Median Voter

All game developers should strive to create an incidental NPC as memorable as the pork bun guy from Sleeping Dogs.

banger vid: youtu.be/tvwPKBXEOKE?... all the medium closeups blurred backgrounds make me so bored.

are game remasters the buggiest type of game releases in general because it sure feels that way

10-2 and playing, like, 5th stringers lmao
