Bette Davis did side-eyes out loud on national tv. 🥹 youtube.com/shorts/4ziNI...

I read this fanfic. It sucked.

honestly this just makes me nostalgic for the obama years, I kinda miss everyone constantly losing their minds over the stupidest bullshit imaginable rather than committing 47 front pages worth of crimes on a daily basis

NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

I mean more power to everyone who wants to send each other consensual nudes but I have simply never taken a dick pic, let alone sent one to a random woman who has not asked for it! what the hell, guys! don’t do that!

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

honestly prosecute merrick garland too

This is what I meant when I said in 2024 that when I looked at the incoming administration, all I could see was rape. It’s the heinous act itself, yes, but also a mentality, as deftly explained here:

the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

You can't expect the New York Times to give any attention to a story about the president being credibly accused of violent rape when the story breaks so close to an election. It's not like we're talking about something *really* important, like email security protocols.

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

Average Trump scandal: many people dead after uncontroversial government program illegally cut by doge for nonexistent savings Average mamdani scandal: he’s playing BASKETBALL with his FRIENDS

the washington free beacon is trying to october surprise abdul by revealing his comms chief used to post bangers

RFK talks about autistic and Arabic people the exact same way. He assumes they are not capable of ordinary or extraordinary achievements because of who they are. He considers them sub-human because they are not like him. This makes it plain that his is a white supremacist eugenicist project.

I am old enough to remember when politicians felt the need to hide behind euphemism and obfuscation. As frustrating as these obfuscations were I hope it is becoming clear to all that they were an advance, historically speaking

Just a reminder that there is no good data to support these uses in K12, we are just testing it live all on kids who won’t ever be these ages again and can’t get them back if we fuck it up.

I don’t think we should get used to a man this wealthy, this full of hate and this willing to demonize a small minority having so much power in our economy and in our politics. To defend democracy, we must defeat the oligarchs.

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

All politicians are my opps bc i feel that is the appropriate way to be a citizen in a democracy however he makes it difficult sometimes

Even the wildlife loves Mamdani

Ding ding fucking ding.

The internet can be pretty gullible about tech products, but congrats to everyone who called exactly what this was going to be used for from the first moment they saw it.

one of several things making me crazy about the latest report on the president being a rapist is that the response more or less comes down to "we knew that already"

One day everyone will have been against this.

Provided they got his permission, this is delightful.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

RIP to an incredible actor, Alfred Bester is one of my all time favorite Lawful Evil villains

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Just speaking for myself but I was completely fine not knowing what Matt Yglesias thought about basically anything

I would love to live in a world where "President faces new rape allegation" isn't treated like a dog bites man story in the major media.

I keep on saying: we are in the middle of a constitutional crisis: our government is going to fail at basic things in the 120th Congress unless you impeach Russell Vought on Day One.

Just over 40,000 people have received basic incomes in over 200 pilots across the U.S. since 2017. This is 50% more people than that, from one company, and still no UBI in sight.

re: Anthropic Day Private markets have made the story of an IPO raising capital to expand business a myth. IPOs are commonly insiders and VC firms exiting while dumping risk on retail and pensions. As with their AI products, it's not Anthropic taking huge financial risks. It's the rest of us.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

They want us to be scared, and sure, there is much to fear. It can always get worse. But a world that can get worse can also always get better, and our power, our vision, our beauty and our joy is stronger than anything they can imagine, and every moment we bring them to one another is a victory

Dont forget my loves, these ghouls must spend their every moment living in fear and activation in order to maintain sufficient momentum, the richest men in the world must spend all their time and money to maintain this stranglehold, and still power is constantly slipping from their grasp

Ever notice how you don’t really get any think-pieces whenever a bunch of left wing parties get elected all at once?

Omg no, he was so young. Damn. He was such a talented voice actor. It’s on the mind because I literally just watched it yesterday, but he got asked to do the taken monologue as porky pig and its a masterpiece
