I recently watched it for the first time in about that long, and it’s just fucking masterful. Absolutely ahistorical in every way, but perfect nonetheless. Tom Hulce even did his own playing.

Why now? The Times has been as friendly as it’s possible to be without being owned by Lachlan Murdoch, so why the (reinvigorated) beef, mad emperor?

The USS Nimitz is being decommissioned, and I can see it from my bedroom window, defiling the waters and standing as a monument to the bottomless greed of the military-industrial complex. It’ll cost $1 billion to defuel and dismantle the two nuclear reactors on board.

I will say the Trump administration and greater Trumpiverse is not acting like Bari Weiss is a sensible editor with some reasonable feedback. They are treating her as on side and 60 MINUTES as the enemy.

contemptible nazi bitch

it’s really fucking cool to see people working outside the system to expose the hacks running all of our crumbling institutions

8yo just asked me if "ASS" stands for "Ass Shit Shit"

“I am more scared in the last month than in the last 20 years. I thought they were gonna kick down the door and take me away.” @samanthamichaels.bsky.social hid out with an immigrant family in Memphis, where the onslaught of ICE has reshaped daily life, drawing comparisons to 1930s Germany.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

I don’t know what to do with fear. I can’t cloister it. It screams the walls down. If I reason it away, it is back in moments, angry over the temporary banishment. It frets when I soothe it. It threatens when I put it down. So I carry it in my arms, this cold, dead thing, back and forth.

She’s both grossly incompetent and grotesquely unprincipled. A winning combination.

I barely know what to do with all this freedom.

I think the thing that makes me nuts is that the horrifying expose of CECOT is the pitch for CECOT. they're the same picture.

Update: link above no longer works but the full segment has been uploaded to the Internet Archive with torrent link.

Everywhere I look there’s slop. There’s slop on my TV, there’s slop when I go online, there’s slop on my phone. I’m drowning in slop. But books are (mostly) immune to slop. www.welcometohellworld.com/20-books-you...

and they don’t even get you high when you lick them

Refusing to criticize the party we are nominally a part of — a party that has failed to stand as any meaningful opposition to fascism and, in many cases, has furthered its cause — is an abdication not only of our responsibility as voters but as human fucking beings

CECOT 60 Minutes segment about the Trump admin torturing people in a notoriously cruel prison in El Salvador is here, provided you are visiting the desktop site and using a VPN. The segment was spiked by newly installed right-wing CBS News head Bari Weiss.

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

reply guy etiquette means you gotta keep it tight we're talking 2-4 TOTAL responses to a single person PER DAY and less than 20 PER WEEK Have some self respect out there people

You get 2-3 consecutive responses on my post before I’m just going to mute you for having a conversation with yourself.

😐🚬

that may have been a bad example, because a lot of people i like and respect really enjoy the films. but i am viscerally turned off by “LOOK AT THE CELEBRITIES” marketing.

i can’t ID anyone from the trailer, so i looked at the cast list, and entirely lost interest. i just realized that’s why I’ve never watched the knives out movies. i don’t care what the Big Names are — i just want good filmmaking. which apparently it has! But “cavalcade of stars” taints it.

absolutely not

i dont understand if im supposed to think the odyssey looks good or like shit and would appreciate if you people would give me a heads up on The Mood Around Here

This remains so brutal. Content warning for extreme cringe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

my dryer died this morning, so i have to wear cold, damp clothes on a call with people who could give me money. considering mentioning it for pathos.

bring back shame

this is how you know bari is incapable of operating at this level. pulling rank on some desperate lackey at the free press does not equip one with the requisite skills to try and fuck over a veteran correspondent who’s been on her network’s flagship program for more than a decade.

“has feminism gone too far?” and it’s just a review of bari’s career

Taking a sip, pausing, looking confused at the label, and spraying it across the room

Why CBS News Hired Cancel Culture's Biggest Grifter (ft. Michael Hobbes) youtu.be/qNlW_kjBnTY

So the segment HAS been approved by legal and compliance hmmmm someone could always upload it

Now that everyone knows who Trump-protecting Bari Weiss is, let's recall that Vancouver Coastal Health's Head of Comms, Deana Lancaster, was RT'ing Bari Weiss not long ago The 2 of them, busy mocking & downplaying the seriousness of Covid. PS Covid never was & still is not "the sniffles" #bcpoli

I get put on an awful lot of lists — most lovely, some hilarious — but this is the first time I’ve ever been on one for flat-earthers.

I appreciate not only the true grand wizardry of this post, but the fantasy of Honduran asylum seekers “setting up housing” in advance, paging through Airbnb listings before fleeing mortal danger at home for a thin chance in a nation of sociopathic bigots.

man i am really starting to hate the phrase "burrito taxi" its starting to be a signifier of "this person doesnt know anything, thinks they know everything"

stop, i can only get so jolly

I may really like boxing, gang.

My friend @joelowndes.bsky.social is at TPUSA’s KIRKCON, or whatever it’s called, and of his many amazing photos this is my favorite.

Here's a 1941 letter that a "heritage American" named Grace Wick wrote to FDR complaining about the "alien, Jewish refugees" flooding into the country and replacing "native stock" Americans like her. She says FDR is inviting a Hitler to emerge in America to deal with this problem!

lol

Exactly that. Like I don't know if I could actually handle the experience, but at the same time, I spent a lot of time getting to know Christ, and he's not a guy that hates immigrants. I don't necessarily believe in his divinity or status as a prophet or anything, but he deserves better.

I’ll do you one better: No states, no borders.

Jesus Christ
