No choice but to reskeet this

Jesus fucking christ.

What's a little blasphemy between politicians and their sycophants?

Absolutely bonkers

Any time he opens his mouth this should get reposted.

I wonder how the kid who posted 15 years ago about their first job at Theranos is doing now

Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996)

“Playing at bigotry creates an environment for it, whatever our intentions may be.”

*doakes voice* "There it is!" For years we told you that these weirdos would rather lose to literal nazis than take even a half step to the left. They're more afraid of progressives than they are of the most racist, most violent, most self-immolating part of the extreme right.

I, too, have never heard the phrase "power concedes nothing without demand," and also believe that mainstream Democrats will do the right thing _this_ time, even though they've already failed to prosecute criminal Republican administrations twice already. Anyways, let me just kick this football...

Did you know businesses with federal govt contracts aren’t allowed to spend for or against federal candidates? How then has Elon Musk, whose companies get billions in contracts, spent hundreds of millions in our elections? The answer: A giant loophole I'm working to close.

I have never been happier to be an out-of touch old who has no idea what any of this bullshit is about.

Eh, I also liked the "O Mechanismo" series, so I'm at least aware of the danger, I suppose... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mec...

new wolfenstein looks like shit

"This pair of grifters would prefer if you just believed them because they're white and don't speak with a notable accent."

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

i also just have to say that pointing at a falling down barn while bragging about how fewer people are coming to america is about the perfect encapsulation of how MAGA believes in making america smaller and weaker

Turns out there’s a big lever labeled “OIL PRICES” in the Oval Office like the median voter believes there to be, it just only goes one way so nobody else has been dumb enough to pull it until now

Welp, I didn't get the drama I wanted from that weird bar thing, better go pick a flight with the 5 boroughs for enjoying a sunset...

Looking west in Brooklyn!

Coming around to the idea that the biggest priority for Americans interested in keeping liberal democracy alive for the next several decades is whole scale reform of the Supreme Court and the judiciary. We can't afford to have Reconstruction 2.0 hampered by the SCOTUS like Reconstruction 1.0 was.

I 100% agree with this headline.

huh, this piece nailed the AI bros like a decade ago

No lies detected.

Batman has the spirit and he'll kick himself about the pronoun fuckup later

This is oligarchy. "Don't criticize the oligarchs or they will destroy you" is a story about rising dictatorship, but framed as political consultant strategizing. Dems should be riding anti-AI anger to massive gains, but consultant class will help throw that away. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

This is one way to ensure a blockbuster opening weekend.

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

@shannimcg.bsky.social had this great insight that the "Woke 1.0" discourse is a product of the "polarization" meta-narrative. Essentially, since we had radical, crazy, dangerous, ideas/movements from the right (MAGA, Jan 6, anti-CRT/DEI), there must have been equivalents on the left. They weren't.

it would shock the average person how many anti-trans activists had a partner or child who came out as trans and, rather than being supportive, they obsessively worked to "purge" transness from their lives (as well as society)...

Honestly, I'd say the most disastrous decisions of Obama and Biden were not really holding anyone accountable for crimes committed under the previous administration. Obama wanted to "turn the page" on Iraq and the financial meltdown while Biden never put any urgency behind the January 6th cases

Hunter Biden's announcement of his new memecoin illustrates how the entire US elite sees Americans as docile sheep to be sheared. But of course we haven't given them much reason to think otherwise.

Now in Gunmetal Grey!

Wish I could take the NYT seriously here but they just sound upset a press office is sending PR messages to influencers and are trying to imply it is a pay to play operation: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/n...

it's insane they do this bend-over-backwards "critics say it raises questions" shit when the actual law just says "its illegal to put living people on currency"

i think much of the democratic party's low ratings reflects a palpable sense that it is institutionally incapable of standing up for itself or going on the hunt

centrist dems be like “we have bold, serious, inspiring policy proposals” and it’s literally fucking taxpayer subsidized car loans

I am having a particularly frustrating week, so here’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. The eruption of Sarychev Peak in the Aleutian Islands, seen by the crew of the space station. www.nasa.gov/image-articl...
