“Elon Musk destroyed USAID as a mechanism for killing off as many of the global poor and non-white as he can before they kill him first (as he, insanely, believes)” is not a conspiracy theory. In truth, it’s very hard to conclude anything else.

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

Charlie Kirk literally is just as bad as Ben Shapiro, as Donald Trump, as Andrew Tate, as all these other shitheads that essentially have created the global fascist movement, and even worse when he died they tried to make him like MLK, it's totally alright for the ppl affected to clown on his death

Not mad at you, but this is kinda dumb that dude made a career out of terrorizing college students and minorities and the worst part was he didn't even necessarily believe in his hate he just did it for a check. He made our lives harder as a joke and for cash, I think we can put his face on king von

May delete if it seems like I didn't express it well enough to avoid making people mad but my buzzkill opinion is I think the memeing of Charlie Kirk is symptomatic of a wider nihilism about/disconnect from the gravity of violent death and that's bad for society even if you're not sad he's dead

the horror and rage that surrounded the filmed executions of renee good & alex pretti seems to suggest otherwise imo

Russia is targeting civilian cars at random to cause terror and panic, Russian attacks on civilians have escalated significantly since the last few weeks. The strategy mirrors Israel's where military targets are secondary and causing max damage on the civilian population is the primary focus.

Good for her! Film Bros demanded for years that Directors With Vision be allowed to bring their special sauce to the MCU in weird off-kilter projects, and then Zhao does exactly this, and makes no apologies for "slumming" in "franchise slop" - so, of course, everyone was Very Normal about it.

Chloé Zhao says she loved directing ‘ETERNALS’ “For any of you who love anime, I know you know this was a girl’s dream come true. Comic books are the western equivalent of [manga]. They are very different, but I live in the west, and that’s what I had access to.” (via variety.com/2026/film/fe...)

I mean, there it is. What they want to do, laid bare. Give us the data to target your voters we don’t want to vote or we’ll just stop all of them who vote by mail. They want to do this *now*, for *this* election. Please make a plan to vote in person if you’re able.

May there be everlasting shame on all of the attorneys collaborating in this.

as a reminder, the boat murders are a) very clear cut crimes and b) crimes where the command responsibility liability is limited to a couple dozen people, total, from pete to ac commanders it's the one specific area dems (if they have to pick only one) should be focused on making examples of in DoD

BLS this morning, with revised 2Q data: "The labor share, which is the percentage of output that accrues to workers in the form of compensation, was 52.8 percent in the second quarter of 2026, the lowest level in the series, which begins in the first quarter of 1947."

I’m so confused. Are they blaming the people supporting the movie for this? Blame fucking Warner Brotheres. A 10 million dollar marketing budget from them is NOTHING.

Ryan Reynolds on ‘THE ODYSSEY’ passing ‘DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE’ to become the highest-grossing R-rated film ever: “I just love that people are going to the movie theaters. I don’t even care why or for what reason. Just go to the movie theaters. There’s no better shared experience.” (via Variety)

Beijing’s unjust prosecution of Joshua Wong is an appalling abuse of power. Everyone who truly cares about democracy should be proud to stand with him and the people of Hong Kong. Advocacy for freedom is not a crime and the international community must immediately demand his release.

It cannot be emphasised enough, it cannot be flung in the faces of the likes of Matt Yglesias often enough, this "popularist" nonsense they're advocating for is politically illiterate and a cowardly unwillingness to simply say what you believe.
