The Real Trans Menace Donald Trump came out of his mother’s body an innocent, as we all do. Eighty years later, he teeters on the edge of the grave, a bloated sack of depravities few, if any of us can fully comprehend....

Not Technically Treason Despite the understandable hysteria on the center left, Donald Trump's geopolitical betrayals are not treason. The U.S....

No. Yes.

💯💯💯 This!!

We don't owe that man, nor his family a DEBT OF GRATITUDE We owe them their lifetime of benefits, of medical care, good schools, housing assistance if necessary. We owe them every benefit and them some for their sacrifice We have a responsibility to take care of them not 'owe them a thank you'

The largest donor in the history of the GOP uses his massive social media platform to promote far-right, eliminationist, pro-Putin, and sometimes even pro-Hitler propaganda. Now here's another article about how Democrats must distance themselves from Hasan Piker.

Unbidden Bits—October 18, 2026 There is one thing that billionaires can teach us. If we ever reach a point in life where we can accept a waiter’s obsequious praise as confirmation of our status, we will never see it coming. (Yes, that it—the one with the hood and the scythe.) (Edited 4:12 AM)

Progress on Donald Trump’s Bucket List √ War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity: Ordered a February 28, 2026 airstrike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran, killing at least 156 people....

David Brooks clearly wants to reclaim his title as the Nation's Preeminent Apologist for the Worst Shit White Folks Get Up To. And if tut-tutting Jon Ossof for calling Nazis "Nazis" gets does the trick, then dammit, the ends justify the means.

#cybertruck#cops#apocalypse What's a thing like this doing in a nice little town? (Well, it *IS* Arizona, after all.)

#pope According to Reuters and il Corriere della Sera, Pope Leo has announced that his doctors have found a small, localized nodule in his lungs, and he'll undergo surgery early next week. This is not good news, especially given the current internal politics of the Vatican.

Mortal Doubting The Atlantic has published a new interview today by David Brooks, entitled Do Human Beings Have Souls?...

Sure do!

Tears in Rain Show me an arrogant prick, and I'll show you an ignorant prick, a stupid prick. And when I'm shown the MAGA menagerie in all its pulsating, glittering entirety, I can't help but notice that they're all arrogant, ignorant, stupid pricks, even the seemingly endless succession of press…

“A Crock of Schmitt” Even if they kill me, I'm surely gonna die laughing:

That's a fantastic picture. Seeing Schmitt as a senator is like seeing a sheep stuck high in a tree after a flood. You have to wonder how that simpleminded farm animal got up there.

Nazis, the AfD, and “Christian” Democrats Many German Christians, like their American co-religionists, seem much less Christian to an outside observer than they pretend to be.......

End Times Euphemisms Sadly, this is by no means a comprehensive list: Peace Is Our Profession: the motto of the Strategic Air Command, responsible from 1946-1992 for deploying the US arsenal of nuclear-armed bombers and intercontinental ballistic missiles....

I may have more balanced thoughts later, but my first reaction to this Bernie/Bannon thingie is twofold: 1) The Hitler-Stalin pact, and 2) "O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!"

These headlines. 🇺🇸2026

Incredibly proud of how @karenattiah.bsky.social fought for what was right

There's a reason that AOC is twice as popular as the Democratic Party!

@reckless.bsky.social Yay! You actually did it! You actually did "Mark Zuckerberg Is a Dummy" on the latest Vergecast. I actually haz an Instagazm listening to it. 😁

Lessons Not (Yet) Learned When over time the government of the United States becomes the exclusive province of overfed white men trained by ossified institutions, funded in their ambitions by a vicious oligarchy, and certified by a ritualized political system severed from anything resembling a…

Priceless!

@reckless.bsky.social Y'know what? After listening to your latest Vergecastigation of the Zuck (with which, by the way, I heartily agree) I desperately wanna know when you're finally gonna add a "Zuck is a dummy" to the Vergecast feature list.

Because they're traitors and should be treated as such.

A “Significant Security Incident” So Sam, your sandboxed model ran off and plundered Hugging Face without even leaving you a note, eh?...

Help Us Out Here, America One of my favorite rants of all time. Every evening when the din of our ongoing political suicide abates a little, I hear it again as clearly as ever....
