They want you to stop fighting back. They want you to silence yourself. They want you to ignore injustice. They want you to blame others. They want you to lose hope. They want you to be afraid. They want you to give up. They want you to obey. Don't.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled depravity to urge you to VOTE! And VOTE BLUE, no matter who! And if you are in WA state, vote NO on I-638 and I-001! New Lovecast it out now! You can listen on the way to your local ballot box.

I cannot stress to you enough how there were entire news cycles in 2024, driven entirely by Republicans, about how Democrats were trying to take away your cheeseburgers.

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."

An 87yo in WI charged 17,766 times for $77k. An 89yo in D.C. charged 26,456 times for $429k. A 76yo in CA charged 27,236 times for $578k. There are thousands of examples like these. Republicans are even worse. We shouldn't have to protect our elderly parents from this.

Trump: "Jon Ossoff has spent more money on makeup -- and by the way I wear very little and I do it myself. Yaaaaaaaaaaahhhh. Because if you don't put a little on, you look a little bit like a dead person. I don't want to look that way. But he goes full bore."

The owner of X is almost single-handedly funding the Republican midterm election campaigns. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

My heart is completely broken for the children, families, teachers, and entire Silver Rail Elementary community in Bend, Oregon today. Elementary school should be about jungle gyms, math class, and making new friends—not learning where to hide from a shooter.

Yet another issue where the only reasonable position is "everybody goes to jail." Anything less is incompatible with the rule of law.

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Healthy people subsidize sick people but you already know that bc that's not what this is about this is designed to break the system entirely and that's the point.

RFK Jr announces a new initiative to kick people off their healthcare coverage but insists it's no big deal because "they don't even know they were enrolled in anything. They never make a claim."

Justices are having a hard time going from Blockbuster to Facebook... BUT I BET THEY WOULDN'T if this case was about pornography instead of sports. If PornHub was telling LinkedIn people's search histories, I'd bet they'd fucking get it.

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

So he's not running then
