[this liminal space under perpetual construction] I know you desperately wish I were a bot or a chaos agent, but I voted for the Lesser Evil for almost 4 decades, I am allowed to complain about your centrist "liberalism" all day long

Legitimate criticism is drowned in the sea of bad faith arguments amplified by a global bot network of sealion AIs screaming into the void of the dead internet. Been that way ever since flesh and blood 4channers successfully trolled mainstream social media platforms in the 00s

I can't wrap my head around the mindset of getting defensive on behalf of an enormously wealthy director just because an expert on the subject of his movie had some blunt and honest criticism to offer. Big-budget Hollywood movies are always fair game for criticism by anyone.

The whole codify Roe isn't the strategy. It's using his full name that's the strategy. They will do this every single time a Republican talks about him.

Jim Banks is only in Congress because he's from Indiana. Rednecks here think because he can tie a tie, he's congress material. As a fellow Hoosier, I like to point out that Jim was awarded most improved bunker raker at Mar-A-Lardo two years running 2022-2023

I remember Union Democrats, who would not vote for Obama. Shameful, I heard union workers say they would not vote for that ******. I was truly shocked at these guys, my husband who worked with them was not. Like he told them, our two votes are going to cancel out two of your votes. And look who won.

“A guy like Abdulrahman El-Sayed” is doing a lot of work there. If Banks wants to argue about abortion policy, he can do that without signaling that El-Sayed’s name and background are somehow disqualifying. Republicans know exactly what audience this language is meant to reach

Wyden released a sweeping Senate report alleging several of the largest banks of having “been willing to turn a blind eye” to Epstein’s financial activity.

I love when bigots beg off from all the attention they caused by saying bigoted things. That's not how it works, Sophie. You wanted an ESPN feature, you wanted to be MAGA Barbie, you wanted to spread hate... now you get to own that, forever, so enjoy it.

Amid tension, Cunningham says she wants to 'get back to basketball'

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

Chicago's top federal prosecutor noted in a court filing that his office has already dropped charges in the case, implemented “robust root-cause changes” and started the process of reviewing over 1,00...

The funniest part about Jonah Hill being like "I am learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I am the angel of death now" is that he's a white belt with like two stripes so he basically just knows how to do a fairly bad arm bar.
