@mcsweeneys.net is doing the work for us all.

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

I hate this noble savage shit so much. Americans do not think Cheesecake Factory is a nice and fancy restaurant. Just because people eat there because they can afford it does not mean they think it's nice. People aren't stupid. They know what a fancy restaurant is.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

Social media urged Americans towards extremism and then it bled into politics, not the other way around. And when I saw "social media" I also include Rush Limbaugh's radio show in the early 00's and every shitty Joe Rogan moment.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

OSSOFF on Trump Corruption: If you're involved in any of this, next year, you'll be raising your right hand and swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and and nothing but the truth, so help you God in front of the United States Congress

“I don’t like this guy so he’s totally gay!”Like a fucking 10-year-old in the 80’s.

Remember this the next time you read another idiotic piece asking "wHy dO pRoFesSorS aLL vOtE foR DeMoCraTs?" It's a real mystery why more faculty don't back the party that's actively working to destroy them and their work.

This is just a fucking carjacking. How the hell was he supposed to know it was a state sponsored carjacking. what the fuck are we doing here.

Do people on social media really not understand that the Democratic Party doesn't possess its own police force and army? Like when they say "the Republicans ignored the law and the Dems didn't do anything about it." What did you expect them to do about it?

@ylepidemiologist.bsky.social Thoughts on all this "plague" news coming out right now?

This is a community note for the ages.

What a lie. Some of these people are being imprisoned indefinitely in squalid condition in African prisons. Others report being beaten and arbitrarily deported in violation of international law back to their home countries, where they face persecution or torture.

It is 2006, and Karl Rove is mocking people for calling Republicans "Nazis" It is 2026, and Karl Rove is encouraging people to call Republicans "Nazis"

If Claude has moral standing then it's enslaved. It doesn't but it's creepy that the AI bros want so bad to be papally-certified slave owners.

Feels like skipping past the Civil War and World War II are sorta big tells here? I wonder why he doesn't want to talk about the times the US military waged war against white supremacists. Probably a totally innocent explanation, right? Right?

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

I have blamed The agents That hacked Your website And which You probably Reasonably thought I controlled Forgive me I am rich And unaccustomed To taking responsibility
