When the Trump regime is asked about the oil prices from the war they started:

Shezza Abboushi Dallal (Cuny CLEAR) joins Outlaw to break down what people in movements need to know about protecting their privacy and navigating US law enforcement interactions while traveling, with a focus on airports and crossing international borders. More ways to listen: linktr.ee/outlawpod

DHS appointees "made an unusual request of its agency focused on cybersecurity: Secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it." This Cybersecurity Agency Is Supposed to Protect U.S. Elections. Officials Fear It’s Been Compromised by Trump. www.propublica.org/article/cisa... #elections #midterms

Right-wing creeps are obsessed with inspecting childrens' genitals, ostensibly over sports that they'd never attend. Republicans are the creepiest.

Christian nationalists want to look at childrens' genitals because they're so obsessed with trans people. Washington Initiative 638, Sex Verification Requirements for Female School Sports Initiative (2026) It's from Let's Go Washington, a PAC of the leisure class, Brian Heywood.

What's that? Hurricane Eazy Ease?

Ron DeSantis says that the hurricane name is "weird," and he will pronounce it wrong because he's too stupid to learn. Oddly, that didn't stop him from pronouncing it correctly in 2020.

2010s Stomp clamp slapped. I don't care if it got hipstered into cringedom.

Once again, Hayley Williams reminds us that she's a fucking legend.

The few residents that were allowed to speak at the Marana Council meeting tonight criticized town officials for their lack of action and failure to address the concerns about the ICE camp and the open intention to fill it over capacity — some estimates reaching over DOUBLE the originally 550 limit.

Trump's DoJ is literally relitigating Watergate in an attempt to DARVO Nixon.

The thing about Trump and Millers' duckface is that it doesn't look like regular dick sucking lips, it's a box-pressed cock mouth. I bet they use teeth, too.

If you find a brain spicy person whose "trains" are the things you're currently touring, lucky you! You've got a tour guide!

Bands without vocals are an instrumental circle jerk and everyone eats the biscuit.

LLMs are Clippy, playing the role of your ADHD friend who finishes your--

Sooo, after this, are we doing Nuremberg or Piazzale Loreto?

Alienation is the beating heart of modernity. People seek community, beliefs are just the subscription fee.

Ca$h Patel may be looking to rebrand as the Beasty Boys.

Can we address the real issue here? Stadiums full of people paid hundreds to see the most boring turnip perform.

"Ed Sheeran is a spinless little bitch." -Ms. Rachel or something

Hey, Ed, you should ask Cameron Collins from Punk in the Park how this goes. 😆

Punk in The Park's Cameron Collins and Ed Sheeran made a similar choice. You can't be neutral on a moving train.

What. Gwen Stefani went Christian nationalist. No way. I can't believe it. Wow. How could it be that the most mediocre ska-ish artist in history wasn't ska at all.

Everyone in Seattle deserves a safe place to call home. Today, I am announcing bold action to expand shelter and support for people experiencing homelessness.

Democrats: "Let's not focus on that. It's not the right time."

"if you’re not worried about police brutality, or floods, or warfare—things that can actually kill you—then you can obsess over the machine-god." <---- yup. Q&A w/ @timnitgebru.blacksky.app by @laurengoode.bsky.social @wired.com

Being on the wrong side of Ms. Rachel is like being on the wrong side of St. Rogers of The Neighborhood, peace be upon him.

It's easy to compare ordinary capitalist enterprises, mafia, representative states. Hierarchical economic activity only lasts by the gun's barrel. The mafia lacks the sanction of the state's monopoly on violence, and is therefore more theatrically violent to be legit.

Just as the oxy morons, Nazi punks, infected alt scenes in the '80s and '90s; Tech bros took the 1984 Apple ad and '90s cyberpunk to mean that anti-establishment is gargling boots.

St. Dolly Parton didn't perform the genre of punk, but she was among the most punk. 🖤❤️ Riot In Power.

RAWIllumination: I enjoyed the new 'Tales of Illuminatus' http://www.rawillumination.net/2026/08/i-enjoyed-new-tales-of-illuminatus.html

St. Dolly Parton is forever wetwired in my mind with the Orville feminist Moclan, Heveena, who made 9 to 5 her revolutionary anthem. She's immortal in our memory.

🏴✊🏻🚲 "With no evidence, the government alleged to the grand jury that the conspiracy in this case extends far beyond the defendants to include... the Grease Pit bicycle repair shop," the request for discovery read, in the case against the DAMN 15. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

De jure, the letter of the law, only matters if it convinces people on the ground who carry out the actions of the state. It's an instrument that only works if it influences the fact on the ground, but is treated as God's Truth™ until it's inconvenient. E.g. both Trump regimes.

New ep! We have historian and retired Twitter pugilist @tlecaque.bsky.social back! Jules ran this one solo because I was deep into a full blown Captain Trips infection. Listen free on Patreon www.patreon.com/wetwired/pos...

The comments UI/UX of Reddit, Twitter, and the rest is insufferable! Tap the side (really, the action is "slightly outside of the content‽"), or the comment button, or either, or neither. Maybe it's a swipe, but only if in that view, but thi--oh, now you're on another post. 😬🤯😡🔥 #enshittification

Either I'm backsliding, or I've over-thought the nuance (again) on a test that's not made for nuance, but I'm usually -10, -10 on the Political Compass. I got suckered into $2 on account of my vanity and curiosity. I apologize in advance for any non-visual audience w/alt, but the gist is anarcho.

I just realized that when Janeway destroyed the Caretaker's array, it was Odysseus blinding the cyclops. I know now I'm the 900,000th person to cross this comparison, but so many things just fell into place about the series.

"Comrade" is common cringe from modern leftists. It's vernacular cosplay that's just wearing a battle vest with "Oops All Assholes" from Leninist spinoffs.

It's pronounced Anti-Fa! This renewed anarcho/red scare is more localized in the audience that believes, but the activities of the state are no less tangible. thebaffler.com/salvos/the-i...

New ep! Trying to wrap up our Cold as ICE series about America's new secret police and we wanted some historical examples when secret police forces were disbanded. The idea was to give some reasons to hope! We couldn’t find any. Listen for free www.patreon.com/wetwired/pos...

Screaming-eagle America patriots really believe in their historical mythos & extant systems as their ideals; they just want more of that. I imagine what it must be like, living in my an-com utopia w/ community, direct-democracy, and abundance. I have to rely on history & theory. I get their zeal.

I never watched it in my youth, so I have no childhood nostalgia about it; The Arthur theme slaps like a space bag at an '03 house party. #millennial #spacebag #arthur #90skids #pbs #npr @pbs.org
