The fact that billionaires can just buy an entire film distribution company that has been running and respected for over a decade to kill a documentary about their billionaire friend and nothing can be done about it is just Fuck man

The assholes running our legislature are counting on people not understanding or taking the time to inform themselves. #Republicans #GOP #democrats #politics

Commentary: Early voting has started, but North Carolina voters are hearing very little about three constitutional amendments tucked away at the end of the ballot. While the amendments are worded in a seemingly simple way, the three proposals are deceptive. #ncpol

RIP

We are sad to learn that actor Tom Skerritt has passed away at 93. The Emmy-winning actor made his mark on the horror genre as Dallas in the original ALIEN back in 1979, and he also starred in The Dead Zone, Poltergeist III, and 2008's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Rest in Peace.

This. My job calls for lots of research and oftentimes i have to take to the internet to find information. It is dumbfounding to me that whenever I search 99% of the results are from retail sites.

From The Daily Show. Kyle Clark interviews Colorado gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx, a man who can’t tell you where he’s been, but he can tell you he’s an Exorcist.

Good. Let's see some more. Personally, I don't think these fucksticks should be allowed the protection, but this capitalist hellscape is way too fucked for that conversation. A win is a win.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

If you need a pickmeup, Ukraine struck and destroyed a Russian data center last night, reducing Russian bot traffic by 50%, dropping online pro-AfD discussion to zero, cratering MAGA traffic, and making Elon big mad. Just in time for the mid-terms. Slava fucking Ukraini.

I cannot stand people my age who "don't do politics". Motherfuckers. We have lived in "unprecedented times" literally for as long as I remember and your refusal to pay attention, get informed, and fucking participate is killing me.
