but I wish it were that simple. It's not just war around the globe, but current-gen policing in America, and basic "how do we treat each other". Best way I can put it is how Patrick Skinner (@SkinnerPm) who is a cop but ex-USCG+CIA puts it on Twitter: "All of us matter, or none of us do." (2/2)

Dunno about you but I’m sick, VERY sick, of having my intelligence insulted

When this is all done I'm going to write a Netflix comedy about how incompetent Trump's prosecutors are.

Shorter Vance: I'm in over my head. I was an author less than two years before being nominated for vice president.

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.

There is truly nothing you could do to make fun of the NYT covering the Obama Cheesecake Factory quip instead of Trump being accused of rape. It’s completely beyond parody.

Is that weird? Do most people not just like, want humanity in general to do well and flourish?

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

going to start calling MattY and Shor "Wormtongue" pretty interchangeably with each other

Evergreen post.

Men, I am begging you, if you want to get laid, DO NOT ELECT FASCISTS YOU THINK WILL FORCE WOMEN TO FUCK YOU. Just take a shower and develop a personality.

"This technology disrupts humanities-trained, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, voters." Also, how come none of these newly disempowered cat ladies want to give us the children we need

A global company should know there will be varying ecological laws from country to country, and that Nordic countries are especially proactive in this regard. This wasn’t a mistake. It was intentional and should be prosecuted as such.

we've identified another vulnerability leak. now hackers on the dark web have identified your bad knee and that weird thing your shoulder does if you sleep on it wrong. there's no patch available for this, they're now just keenly aware you feel like your career has stalled out

I hope Petey felt that bitch slap from across the country.

Obama: "We've seen this movie before. I starred in it. I've got a long-form birth certification to prove it. This stuff didn't work on me. It's not going to work in Michigan on Abdul."

Everyone, this is Tom. Tom makes *beautiful* things. By rights, people should recognize him and his things. Ideally they should ask him nicely to make them beautiful things and offer him lots of money. This isn't costumery, this is art. Just my tuppence worth.

Inverted Rodeo Clown because this isn’t my first time I’ve made someone laugh during sex.

Everything I didn’t want to learn about covert narcissism: They must protect their delicate ego at all times. They continuously rewrite reality to keep their image of the so called“wounded healer”. They take pride in calling themselves an empath, saying they “feel everything“ 1/3

It seems impossible for our political system to hold the politicians tied to the actual invasion of our Capitol to account, but any random Muslim candidate is reflexively labeled a terrorist.

As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.

One year ago, Trump illegally knocked down the East Wing

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

Archaeologists discovered a 1,000-year-old medieval stone building at the royal palace of Helfta, Germany. 🏰 Otto the Great was associated with the site. Jewelry, coins, and a bone flute were uncovered among the ruins. Otto had a whole palace, I get excited when my microwave has 30 seconds left. 😂
