Me, relentless: and on this, I immediately and wilfully relent

Opinion: 'If even I, an implacable opponent of the president, can accept this as the best option, then surely others can too?' writes former US secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. ft.trib.al/sjofp0v

RW propaganda is so relentless, so ubiquitous, that it causes Democrats to believe things about their own party that defy their personal experience; it causes academics to believe things about their own institution that defy their personal experience. Propaganda can *eclipse* personal experience.

Any "leftist" taking MTG's side over AOC's is either an op or the biggest mark at the carnival

AI psychosis is just “I really think the stripper likes me” for guys who don’t leave their house

In totally unsurprising news, Richard Dawkins is developing AI psychosis. Paywall bypass: archive.is/6RdK9

Ain't no way bari Weiss has a fucking mini me.

Really can't be stated often enough: outlets like the Atlantic that spend half their pages reaffirming the worst stereotypes about the left, elevating every dippy accusation toward the left, constantly putting the left in the worst possible light ... help the fascists. They just do.

Social media will have you convinced that 20 likes isn’t a lot and you’ll be ready to delete the photo but imagine if 20 niggas spit in your asshole.

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection. So forgive me if I smell a rat.

"The Scottish island of Summerisle, home of the best fruit in Britain. The first thing you notice? No churches. The farmers here practice a fascinating form of pre-Christian worship…and I just learned I'll be playing the lead role in their annual May Day festival. First stop: my costume fitting."

Hot take: there is no justification for anyone on the left-liberal side of things to make ethnic insults, ever

look, as an Indo-Canadian in the NDP, I would really prefer it if my comrades not justify the people who called me the kid of Osama back in high school because I was Indian

think about, its kinda gay Not to kiss the homies what? You Got Some Urges You Fighting In There , King ?

Jews are targeted in shuls & online. Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps. Muslims are openly targeted by politicians. Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI. Trans & queer people are being outlawed. We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.

I simply refuse to believe this isn’t a Chris Morris sketch:

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

im grabbing your hand to tell you. it’s not too late to start wearing a mask again. it’s better to wear a mask 1/4 of the time (or whatever your percent looks like) than not at all. there’s no shame in starting to be covid safe again even if you havent been for a long time. its okay

Apologies accepted.

We’re never coming back from this, guys. All masks are finally off. The world knows we’re not better than German Nazis (cause we inspired them!) and the future here is looking BLACK AND INDIGENOUS OR BUST!

They're not journalists. We need to start pushing back on that shit. Call these people PR professionals. They hate that. Trust me. Nothing cuts a "reporter" deeper than calling them Public Relations because they have such disdain for the people who work in that industry.

Can't believe there are still journalists claiming Musk has an "absolutist stance on free speech" given his multitude of efforts to punish and silence his opponents for their speech.

After sexual violence, it's victims who get punished the most. Victims who lose their jobs and have to leave their industries. Victims who lose their friends and support systems. Victims who lose their health and sanity. Perpetrators might lie low, sometimes, before being handed it all back.

What does it tell voters, who have said unequivocally we want fighters, that you sit & silently witness your own humiliation? If you will not fight for yourselves, are we to believe you will for us?

Yes this is where I am too. We're gonna get through this but it's gonna be fucking awful for awhile and the horrors we find out about afterwards are gonna rip us up, but Woke 2 is coming and sooner than you think. And I'm pretty well established as a Johnny Doomer around here.

Woke 2 is going to absolutely bury these people. It is true that in the time between now and Woke 2, they are going to hurt a lot of people, some very badly. There’s no way around that. But then, again, Woke 2 is going to absolutely bury these people.

Don't walk out because he's offensive, walk out because he's lost you. Worse than dangerous, he's a listless and boring liar who can't hold a room anymore. Be the physical manifestation of his time running out.
