Today I saw a bumper sticker on a truck: “I’m voting for the felon.” Yeah, you’re really owning the libs, man. You’re assisting the rapist. Dining with the cannibal. Taking a hot lead enema for the team.

The Troll DOJ firmly believes in jury nullification. It has nullified all the jury verdicts against the January 6 insurrectionists. I wonder how those jury members feel now. Probably scared, but oh well, I guess that’s just the price of national suicide.
The planet is literally on the brink, and the richest people in the world have nothing better to do than fuck around on social media.
Lawrence O'Donnel thinks Senators Cornyn and Tillis were threatened with senate "shunning", where after they retire they will not be able to speak with their Republican colleagues and unable to seek favors like jobs for their family members or take on lucrative lobbying roles.
Musk’s technological fix for pending climate collapse: bombard the moon until its orbit shifts, altering the ocean’s tides to make beachfront estates more secure. Genius.
Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
Hope he’s not looking, cute as a rat. He held unfurled his Freeman. Can’t see now. Remember write Greek ees. Bloom dipped, Bloo mur: dear sir. Dear Henry wrote: dear Mady. Got your lett and flow. Hell did I put? Some pock or oth. It is utterl imposs. Underline imposs. To write today.
Everybody follow Piggy around while we schemers behind the scenes determine what’s happening.
NEW: Voters have rejected Republicans' scheme to unseat the Kansas Supreme Court's Dem-appointed majority and overturn abortion rights. Amendment 1 would have let the GOP replace the system of a nominating commission, gubernatorial appointment, and retention elections with direct partisan elections
“read the article darth” they said “it will be fun” they said
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
I agree that they’ve “botched” this war. But was it desirable that this war should be waged or that it should succeed in the first place? I say no, but I fear that the default position in American politics is that when the U.S. chooses war, it should “win.”
Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have completely botched this war. Yesterday, Trump said that Phase 1 is to open the Strait of Hormuz. His goal is now to fix the thing he broke. And the only thing the American people have to show for it is higher prices.

A Culture Hooked on Generative AI is a Culture that Misses Female Sycophants
And we have missed a central reason why AI is a feminist issue

They’re putting shackles on our Haitian neighbors, but stop throwing around the word “racist” because that’s divisive and hurtful.
Besides being flooded with Nazis, X has tons of advertisements. But here in the Bluesky “bubble,” there are zero ads. Maybe that’s what offends them.
“So-and-so Republicans in Congress are retiring/lost the primary, so now there’s no reason for them not to resist/rein in Trump” is a thing I’ve heard many times that has never been true. This compulsion to look for hope from Republicans is a habit that must be kicked.
David Ellison wants us to know he’s not ideological, and that’s why he put a conservative with no tv experience in charge of CBS
“Ken Paxton’s defense attorney just endorsed me. At this point I’m just waiting on Paxton’s family dog to come over to my side.” — James Talarico
Banks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS
i think the only really legitimate policy debate in america is between the far left and center left. i do not recognize conservative policy as a legit alternative.
absolutely fascinating watching America's idea of masculinity in its death spiral, horrifying of course, but I can't stop watching this parade of failures punching themselves in the jaw or paying to get cauliflower ears or botoxing their ballsacs and eventually turning into weird fragile giraffe men
then by Lusignan, by Sansay, by Celles, by Coolonges, by Fontenay-le-Comte, saluting the learned Tiraqueau, and from thence arrived at Maillezais, where he went to see the sepulchre of the said Geoffrey with the great tooth;
The fired toadies will say he went crazy, as if he was sane before. And pundits will nod.
we talked about this more at the time but initially a lot of the ppl who died were in big blue cities and were not white. this is not incidental to the revisionist and eugenicist nonsense we hear now.
this boils down to "the pandemic didn't actually happen but they still closed the applebees" which frankly i think is a trauma response by a lot of people that buy it - lot easier to be in denial that things were that bad instead of reckoning with 1.3m dead people [in this country]
A “generation” is not a valid scientific category. Some people came up with it as a way to categorize you by the time period of your birth. It’s astrology for dabblers in social studies.
Down the edge of his Freeman baton ranged Bloom’s, your other eye, scanning for where did I see that. Callan, Coleman, Dignam Patrick. Heigho! Heigho! Fawcett. Aha! Just I was looking...
Any Democrat going on Fox to complain is nothing but a quisling.
Have you read the sequel to The Odyssey? The epic poem by Nikos Kazantzakis took him 14 years to write. Published in 1938, it’s a magnificent work, which I read in the English translation by Kimon Friar.
Anne Frank wasn’t beat or shot to death. She died of typhus due to unhygienic conditions in her concentration camp. ICE isn’t just killing the people it shoots. A detention center is just a death camp by a different name. And they’re quietly murdering everyday. Post Here: interactink.vercel.app
