But what alarms me in all this is how the girls who were victimized by these men are largely forgotten. I want us to find ways of centering them in the discourse.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

This is the closest I've ever come to converting

"This woke Me-Too bullshit has gone too far," said the former Harvard President and Secretary of the U.S. Treasury to the billionaire pedophile sex trafficker in a private email that the Justice Department under both parties kept secret for years

Since Larry Summers is in the news for being a real son of a bitch I wanted to show my favorite piece of economic wisdom he had about the US coming out of COVID where he just lists all the possibilities and says they’re all equally likely

Shut it down. We have reached the end and will just have to start over.

I like that on social media we all pause and look at the sky and share what we see and it's good. It's good.

one of the weirdest things that people believe on a website where the collective mood changes every thirty-six hours is that events completely unknown to 60% of the population, where 90% have the facts wrong, will have persistent effects eighteen months later

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

I'm a great lover of hateful reviews (book or film) but this is the first time a positive review convinced me not to read the book: "The business cycle is nothing more than the collective expression of human nature..." NO IT FUCKING IS NOT... www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

“This out gay man who was sixteen years old and living in Indiana when Matthew Shepard was murdered used to wish he could be straight. This proves that he is homophobic.” Do these people hear themselves?

Cowards die many times before their deaths, The valiant never taste of death but once.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

This is less an opinion column than a fundraising letter...

Does the ability to get regular health screenings and early treatment for illness improve health outcomes? We may never know...

Our current bullshit moment in a nutshell

While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too. If you dare show up with “poor people shouldn’t have pets”, I will tear such a new one it generates a black hole. apnews.com/article/pets...

Haven't had this thought in a while with everything else going on but the Puritans really fucked us up.

“People like that don't need a reason apart from "because I can". They have a nightmare and try to make it happen.” ― Terry Pratchett #Discworld #TerryPratchett #DailyPratchett #SirTerry

Alternate headline: Pro-Palestine Group Reveals Itself to Be Not so Much Pro-Palestine as Anti-Jewish

White men can never fail, they can only be failed

Thinking about the many times I've seen "Obama is ignorant" or "AOC doesn't understand economics" or the like while Trump belches out a half-baked insincere proposal for a two-step version of the same ACA subsidy he's trying to eliminate.

Usually it's just the mainstream Democrat position

I was literally just telling someone on Wednesday that this had died down and then this airs last night. Poor Tommy.

Maybe I'm nitpicking, but "shows more feminism" is such odd phrasing. It's giving "Hello, fellow feminists" energy

If a superhuman intelligence came into being and we said, “how do we end scarcity?” I promise you the people who had one hand on the plug to that superhuman intelligence would pull that plug if the AI gave the actual answer, because they don’t want to end scarcity.

I keep watching this because I simply can't process what an absolute hollowed out prick of a man RFK Jr. Is

Increasingly convinced that letting a bunch of half educated misanthropic baby men enthralled by perpetual, low level acid trips and thinly disguised eating disorders build the infrastructure for modern social and political life was a mistake.

we genuinely have to take LLMs away from people like openai because this is too transformative a technology to let them render it radioactive like this

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

someone went up to sarah mcbride in front of the u.s. congress, hurled her deadname at her loudly and called her a pedophile repeatedly, posted video of the exchange to x, and it is now going wildly viral i will not share the video but if you’re not speaking up about this, you’re hurting yourself

Really love that the sandwich guy was on video whipping a sandwich at a CBP officer and right away was like "damn right I did that shit, I hit that pig with a sandwich" and the Justice Department tried to bigfoot the case and couldn't even get him on a misdemeanor because fuck you

Maybe we should just abolish employers...

There needs to be trials and there needs to be people sent to die in a prison cell. Consequences must fall on the people who issued the orders and those who carried them out. We must make the punishment of these people a national spectacle that will be remembered for generations.

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Imagine having to be this lady's lawyer...

Stay mad, heifer...

Suck a fuck is right!

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This is what meritocracy looks like...

My favorite gay club is playing Last Friday Night while Cuomo concedes on a giant screen… heaven is a place on earth

People who are leaving NYC, please post pix of your U-Hauls!

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.
