Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

correct states further down the path of autocracy than us have had those autocracies overthrown by sufficiently large voting numbers recently we can do it here too

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

Doomerism--of which I am constantly extremely guilty!--is a lie meant to absolve us from the obligation to fight and organize like we need to. The actual state of things is way more complex, work-intensive, and scary: the outcomes are not yet decided. Gotta keep playing then. womp womp

Mark Zuckerberg is straight up way more evil than Elizabeth Holmes but because he’s got a lot of money the tech press has to go to his little events and pretend his ideas are valid instead of being like “what’s up with that dumbass shirt?” and “don’t you regularly influence elections/genocides?”

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

There's a lot of ways you can imagine why a Dem would do that shit and frankly all of them are locked in that January 2025 chickenshit mindset, absolutely no vision for where the country is at. "Leave my gay ass friends alone" is such a powerful message and all of them are scared of it.

The six year old shouted at us that he “wasn’t ready to go to bed yet” and had “something really important to do” then grabbed a marker and a paper and came back with this. He is now happily brushing his teeth

All of these jokes will be very funny when these monsters have been prosecuted for their crimes and until then it’s just a reminder that no one with any power is willing to hold other powerful people to account beyond the superficial

Visiting Elizabeth Holmes in prison to ask what her Aella number is

Tricked the kids into thinking fruit is dessert and now I’m sitting here while they sleep gleefully digging into a bowl of chilled sliced grapes like a CHUMP

30,000 years ago, a wolf tentatively approaches a fire…

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

Reminder that meta staunchly refuses to kick off libs of TikTok, an account that has been responsible for actual terrorism

I don't think most Americans understand yet what a global laggard the USA is turning into here. Media instead told us that electric vehicles were a fad that didn't work.

For refusing his hand in marriage the cruel wizard turned my beloved sister into a clockwork bird. I hid her in a curio shop until I could learn how to break the curse. But what is this? A famous troubadour has entered the store...

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

Successful two point conversion and an overtime win so I’m ignoring everything else this is our year go bills

I’m too old for this shit man

it's so dumb that there's like a full Watergate happening every day now

All the dopes in the "Geez I dunno if Trump should be impeached" chattering coward class should maybe consider the idea of allowing a sitting President to act like this, over and over, with no repercussions.

Literally anyone who will fucking fight for something 2028

Woke up suddenly unafraid of pintucks and about to make the weirdest pants yet

This is a ‘good strategy’ in game theory terms if you assume Trump will punish you for not rolling over and showing deference and democrats won’t. Democrats should think about altering those incentives.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

By the time you learn you have a sartorius muscle that probably means it’s too late

god forbid a mouse come to this place for magic
