unreal admission to be like "i wielded power and facilitated the deaths of thousands and i don't think about it ever"

Neoliberals on The West Wing were always saying manufacturing jobs were a thing of the past and we need to train people up to be white collar. Now we've flipped and elites are saying that actually those jobs we've completely gutted through decades of bipartisan policy are the ones you should have

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns. www.axios.com/2025/12/18/t...

It’s really embarrassing how much certain Democrats are trying to assist the right in enacting Project 2025’s plans to censor the internet and banish abortion access info, sex ed, LGBTQ people, and much more under the guise of “protecting the kids,” who will of course be further harmed by this

it really does beg the question...why is it so important to separate men and women? is it to "protect" women? or is it to maintain a hierarchy with men over women?

Any Democrat who thinks it's appropriate to "find common ground" with the Republicans on issues like high school sports teams is negotiating with a political party that does not believe trans people should exist. This policy will kill people, so maybe stop wringing your hands about volleyball.

A) This is racist as hell, Pinocchiogles B) it was never just about illegal immigration

Trump has pardoned 17 drug dealers and nearly 1600 people who attacked Congress on January 6, 2021.

I appreciate @massgovernor.bsky.social at least sending a sternly worded letter, but ... "Massport said it cannot legally prohibit the flights"? Loosely translated, this means "we'll probably lose so it's not worth fighting." Block the flights & make a judge force you to allow them!

hope everyone's excited to invade venezuela

🚨 URGENT!!!!!! Congress is trying to ram through 18 massive censorship/surveillance laws TODAY 🚨 CALL THESE REPS NOW and tell them —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO to age verification laws —NO to the SCREEN Act —NO to digital ID laws (App Store Accountability Act) badinternetbills.com

Oh wow, absolute power corrupted you absolutely? That’s so weird, I got absolute power last year and my subjects say I’ve only gotten wiser and more virtuous

Amanda Seyfried, I was not familiar with your game

mark cuban runs a company that would be out of business under m4a why is anyone listening to him about the feasibility of m4a

i can't wait for Mark Cuban's failed run for the Democratic nomination

there are more than a few moments in The West Wing where characters talk glowingly about the efficiency of monarchy and fascism

wildly out of touch for a movement that rose to power on the back of a frog meme

truly why does fetterman care SO MUCH more about Israel than his own constituents

This is INSANE www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t... and these are our closest allies!

Tarantino is getting too much hate for the Paul Dano thing... and not enough hate for having an atrocious Top 20 Films of the 21st century list. Or for heaping praise on Mel Gibson multiple times in that same podcast.

every day i find a new reason to hate jimmy fallon

ICYMI: I finally dove into Law & Order: SVU and the way it hides some of the worst aspects of our policing system in the background of its stories youtu.be/MjysEtaAdh0

This is an excellent video essay from @skipintroyt.bsky.social on how copaganda operates in the Family Policing System. Featuring comments from upEND Movement's Communications Director, Sydnie Mares. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjys...

shut up kevin o'leary, you're fucking canadian. tom macdonald with better pr

i hate consolidation and this is largely worse for our media landscape. but it's hard for me to imagine Netflix being worse at managing the HBO library than David Zaslav and his cash out campaign. at least i won't have to deal with the terrible HBO Max app too much longer

I'm still thinking about this exchange. As is often the case, we see Nuzzi acting out the most extreme version of a phenomenon that is actually pretty common in elite media: people taking umbrage at the idea that they're supposed to exercise moral judgment, and can be blamed for not doing so.

what could go wrong????

Yes where else could men possibly receive this scorching insight

lmao shameless

another day, another establishment politician blaming technology for distorting the minds of young people...as if the UN itself hasn't called it a genocide this is part of the multi-pronged attempt to further censor and surveil social media and internet usage

🚨🚨NEW VIDEO🚨🚨 This one is on a little indy show you may have heard of called Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. It's probably not news that SVU is copaganda, but chances are that you haven't noticed one of its biggest distortions: family court and family policing youtu.be/MjysEtaAdh0

Citizens United in 1 graph

“I don’t think there’ll be operating systems, I don’t think there’ll be apps. The phone will just display the pixels and make the sounds that it anticipates you would most like to receive” I sincerely cannot understand why anyone would actually want this for the future

shotout to the goat @skipintroyt.bsky.social who has several videos about this

yeah ross douthat is a christian nationalist who should not be platformed anywhere, especially not by the paper of record. but he's also a generational hack!

remember when graham platner was like "my tattoo can't be a nazi symbol because the military wouldn't have allowed it"

Lindsey Graham doesn't seem to understand that it's not "lawful" just because it comes out of his master's mouth

cant wait for feckless journalists to not hold his feet to the fire for saying this

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

admitting to statutory rape to own the libs

A lot of people know that Gaetz is a sexual predator, but as is so often the case with crime, the hidden villain of this story is poverty and how desperation can leave anyone vulnerable.

Wild to think this city could soon have a better person as its mayor than a guy who once pulled a gun on a couple over a disputed spot in the parking lot of a riverboat casino in Iowa, better things really are possible

crazy thought, maybe school shouldn't be about maximizing profit

i love feeling like an entrepreneur when i'm trying to not go bankrupt for having the audacity to get sick

where are the freedom of speech absolutists

remember when there was a national conversation around target's vaguely queer-positive merchandise? like whole new york times exposés on it? well walmart is currently selling this: www.walmart.com/ip/Unisex-Pa...

one thing to note is that it is very good that dems/centrists see that an affordability agenda from a leftist/collectivist perspective is very much winnable but if they campaign on it and do not follow through on making it a reality, that is going to drive people to the far right fast as hell
