Best take on both the UFC blood and circus show AND the Platner mess I’ve read to date.

Ten years since the massacre at Pulse Nightclub…so many precious souls. 😢

Here are a bunch of things that are simultaneously true: *Political violence is bad *The system worked last night *The right, including Trump, is constantly calling for political violence *Criticizing Trump and noting he’s a fascist—which he IS—is not a call for violence

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now

The POLITICS (tm) that will occur if Iran somehow actually manages to sink a U.S. Navy vessel will create discourse hitherto unimagined by man or beast.

Privatizing youth sports has been bad for society. “Bowling alone” (Putnam) describes the same problem as “baseball (and most winter sports) mostly for middle/upper class cliques.” The ideological attack on the public sphere has gone on far too long.

What a great photo of Brazilian alpine skier Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the first South American to ever win a medal at the Winter Olympic Games.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Super duper psyched for the opportunity to experience Phish at the Sphere next year. Ive been waiting for this since webcasting the night 2 Theme in 2024. Weekend 1 here we come!! #phishsky

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ... ... listen to Steve Wozniak.

Godwin's 1st Corallary:

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

well, it’s a good thing we have nothing to learn from a nation suffering a complete collapse in international standing due to the government devolving into a personalist regime whose one purpose is to keep its leader out of jail

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

AOC discovering that the online left is a collection of the worst, most toxic people on the planet, whose sole function in life is to set up arbitrary, shifting purity tests so they can preen about their superior moral virtue while doing fuck-all to improve anything. Fuck them, AOC for president.

Terrific journalism analysis here that should be the last word in the latest Mamdani kerfuffle.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 111 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Where are the libertarians? Where is civil society? Do you want to live in a country where people are deported without due process into foreign gulags? Where US senators are arrested? Where the government ignores court orders and deploys the military on the streets of our cities?

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

It's long been clear there's a common denominator to a lot of the institutions Trump picks as enemies: Journalists, Universities, Courts, the Intelligence Community. All independent sources of facts & information that might conflict with his fabricated reality. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Personally, I think it’s easier for the press to dwell on “Did Biden enable Trump by deciding to run?” than “Did Biden enable Trump by not being aggressive enough with the DOJ?,” because Trump’s a winner in the first scenario and a criminal in the second.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

With spring tour on-going, time for some obligatory #phish content from Tuesday BGCA. The first hour of set 2 is stellar, but I had to miss the transcendent truth of the 30 minute Tweezer on Wednesday :( Yes there is more to life than politics! Collective JOY is a big part of why I love this band.

No country in the world will take the US seriously as long as a completely ignorant liar is president.

Anyone still supporting this immoral, anti-American hypocrite knows jack shit about history & should fuck all the way off into the sun. That goes double for privileged Bay Area tech brat sociopaths who think they are gods gift to humanity while demonstrating the media literacy of disabled clowns.

Obviously, it’s bad to betray your allies period, but the fact we’re doing it for an expired Chuck-E-Cheese gift card and a used condom instead the customary thirty pieces of silver gives it a certain pathetic je ne sais quoi.

Let’s be very clear. This level of detail sent via this medium to this audience is not at all about operational necessity or ‘need to know.’ This is a CHILD trying to show off his new toys to friends he is trying to impress.

Yeah this is garbage and whether he should be Dem leader in the Senate or not someone has to get this guy off of TV and put someone on who can say that Trump is a lawless tyrant.

Trump, yesterday: “Schumer is a Palestinian, as far as I’m concerned. He’s become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He’s not Jewish anymore. He’s a Palestinian.” Schumer, today: I will vote for your enabling act, sir.

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

literally every time I talk to friends

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

Thank you

Where are the Democrats but also Where are the churches Where are the celebrities Where are the NGOs Where are the Universities Where are professional groups like AMA Where are the athletes Where are the unions What people/groups do and don’t do for next month determines our collective future

This is my lodestar, & I don't particlarly care if people who have been dreadfully naive for the past number of years get butthurt over my wanting to sleep at night.

Why would we abandon the prosperous, democratic nations of Europe, our allies for one hundred years, to "partner" with weak, poor Russia, a longtime adversary and dictatorship currently in the middle of an unprovoked invasion of a neighboring state? Treason. It's treason

The upper class must be brought to heel. Their well funded political aggression, before & after Citizens United, has gradually eroded democratic culture & is now indecent, immoral confiscation of our national heritage. There's no sign of regret from Wall St. dupes bc they are just as greedy/depraved

We need to call a national strike. This man is a traitor to the core.

Agree, agree, and everyone who wants can be a party actor. Nothing wrong with pushing party leaders, but if you're bashing Dems (or NYT headline writers!) more than you're talking about the people on an anti-Constitution crime spree, you might want to consider whether that's the best choice.
