"What radicalized you?" As a small child, I was taught to treat people the way I want to be treated. It made sense to me. Idk what else there is to say.

It’s the Christian right that wants the US to be a theocracy!!!! They throw around the boogeyman of “Shariah law” but it is NOT Muslims trying to force their faith on everyone else.

If only Keanu’s bus had this tech.

"Please consider the potential of this technology in isolation from its actual social context" is a very "but you can also use guillotines to slice bread" argument.

D+15 Midterm indicator

Perhaps the first time he’s unequivocally correct.

Why is there always money for submarines and fighter jets but not schools, hospitals, aged care, social security payments or disability pensions?

This is also saying “taking advantage of a vulnerable person is fine” so where does that leave people who are inherently vulnerable due to age or disability?! Replace this with “that kid chose to go into a public restroom alone” and see how far that flies with your friends and family…

Bahahaha 😂😂

What in the colonial-acceptance-bullshit did I just watch?

Just made the mistake(?) of watching Freefall on Netflix and now terrified to fly on Boeing planes. ✈️ Serious respect for the brave whistleblowers.

“Error” implies it’s a bug, not a feature.

Trump should absolutely do this. It would be the perfect prologue for the eventual book about how America ceded last remaining superpower status to China.

This dude literally said that AI might bring about the apocalypse but in the meantime some really great companies would be created. Let’s put him in jail now, eh?

Wow. I hadn’t thought about it this way before but wow. 🤯

Housing crisis says what

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

"Look, there's a button in my office that just says 'make things better,' I don't know why nobody else was pressing it, but I'm pressing the button."

How many pols does it take to screw in a lightbulb? GOP: *smashes lightbulb, because it was high efficiency, and they prefer the dark anyway* DNC: We've got a panel of septuagenarian consultants working out how to best reach across the aisle on lightbulb smashing. Mamdani: *screws in lightbulb*

Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.” Clip courtesy @meidastouch.com

Don't know who made this. But we love you for making it ❤️

It's genuinely fascinating that the US president keeps announcing that he just flat out doesn't know what trade is, he legit doesn't appreciate the concept of exchange and instead views economic activity through the lens of a dragon attempting to maximise its gold hoard to sit upon.

No shit, 100% agree here.

Is there an epidemic of people forcing other people to have sex with animals that we know nothing about?! Maybe we should get the FBI on that!

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

Yeah, we used to get treated to a blizzard of pseudo-facts and figures that at least took the general shape of an argument. Now it's just a big, dumb, shit-eating grin and "well, golly, I trust our lord and savior Donald Trump to do the right thing, he's always right, you see"

Idiocracy was a documentary.

Orwell, on fascism (1937): "If you pretend that it is merely an aberration which will presently pass off of its own accord, you are dreaming a dream from which you will awake when somebody coshes you with a rubber truncheon."

Not even joking anymore.

“All of our agents are currently assisting other tormented souls. Your anguish is important to us. Press 1 to scream into the Void. Press 2 to scream louder. Press 3 to accept that life is meaningless."

Rick McGary is a vile rapist. Just ask any woman at ANU who has crossed paths with him. Multiple reports about him from staff and students but all of them were too scared of him to pursue it formally. Once again, the justice system FAILS victims. How unsurprising. 🖕🏼

Looks like time to reup this old cartoon again for those irrepressible TERFs out there.

VICTORY: A federal judge has struck down Texas’s drag ban again, ruling that offended individuals can simply choose not to attend rather than violating the First Amendment. The court made clear that public objection does not give the government power to censor LGBTQ+ expression.

Just thinking of all the life I’ve lived since 2019, which I would’ve missed if my ectopic pregnancy had killed me. My second child also wouldn’t exist, for all you “pro-lifers” out there.

1. Thought he wanted to keep the Mexicans out. 🤔 2. We dragging Iceland into this mess now too? Godspeed.

Show me a single American over age 35 *without dementia* who doesn’t remember EXACTLY where they were on 9/11. It is trauma-encoded into our DNA ffs.

I simultaneously cannot wait to watch this and am dreading it with my entire being.

receipts for anyone who’s never heard this clip before (the reporters giving him a tongue bath and so much unearned respect is how we got here, but i digress)

Imagine the self restraint to wait two and a half decades to tell this story for the first time.

The irreplaceable Cathy Wilcox

He buys almost nothing made in US for himself or his business. Almost everything he sells on his website is made overseas, he hires foreign workers, he advertised Trump Mobile as made in US then deleted that from website after people paid. Even his Trump Bibles are from China.
