Approximately 1/3rd of Americans unapologetically suck ass is something you will see in virtually every poll

The ass handing was so thorough I was beginning to think Tommy must be a plant for a viral clip. Good to know he was an organic dipshit

There's a new beer around town! 🍺 Marz Brewing has launched Block Club Beer, a "sparkling lager" that supports neighborhood news. buff.ly/UXTlEHT

We need electoral and economic reform in this country SO BADLY, and it's never going to go right unless and until more people realize that a) those systems have been deeply entined if not the exact same thing, for us, for a very long time, and b) that's a bad thing.

I would like to see the end of the term "vaccine skeptic," to be replaced by "reality denier." These so-called skeptics are actually the most gullible rubes on the planet when it comes to conspiracy nonsense and tech-bro slop; the only thing that makes them skeptical is peer-reviewed evidence.

Again, this seems to be Republicans' big closing message for the midterms, so it's worth asking -- what the fuck are they talking about. Ask any parent with a kid in public schools if they'll so much as give them an Advil without written and signed permission. Then show them this insane shit.

“Even though transit through the Strait of Hormuz has increased, the cost of hiring a tanker rose to about $1.2 million a day, compared with less than $50,000 a day before the war.”

Y'all remember when every knuckle dragger in your orbit tried to explain inflation to you? I sure do.

Welcome to Hater Week, a week of stories examining what it means to be a hater (and a lover), where we'll vent about some of our biggest pet peeves in games and life, and give others space to do the same. aftermath.site/aftermath-site...

"It’s possible to create new symbology in an age of totalitarian vulgarity. It just requires looking beyond the murky surface of a pool enscummed by failure. It requires new kinds of heroes, those on bread and those that wield them." Brilliant!

It remains hilarious that his cult will still insist, to this day, that Donald Trump is an "expert deal maker."

They sent Martha Stewart to jail for 5 months for having a chat with her broker and selling some stock to avoid about $45,000 in losses.

two thirds of the trump fair attendees have been hospitalized w/ heat stroke and nobody is talking about it

the founders did not foresee every problem the nation would face, because they lived hundreds of years ago and also because many of them were awful slaveholders but they knew men like Donald Trump and they were extremely clear that such men should never be President

Capital above country.

South Africa’s unemployment crisis continues to fuel calls for a permanent Basic Income Grant (BIG). Article suggests expanding income support is no longer only a welfare issue, but an economic necessity due to high unemployment, poverty, and inequality. zurl.co/QcdPp

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr

Lord I’ve seen what you’ve done for others and I want that for me

Join our friends at Citizens Action Illinois and the IL Revenue Alliance to call fellow Illinoisans to educate them on progressive revenue proposals that would rebuild IL’s current tax system and create more dollars for our neighborhood public schools.

they like him and want to help him rule us. events like last night excite them to spring into action because they think its an opportunity to help trump rule us better.

Some long time friends have recently embraced some very backwards & unsubstantiated ideas. I don’t know what happened. I no longer try to change anyone’s mind. Decades of trying and not making progress has brought me to simply recommending “the demon haunted world” and saying:

Artemis II is 170K+ miles from Earth today. But yesterday, Pilot Victor Glover was asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter. His response is worth listening to. And his advice is worth internalizing in advance of a difficult year ahead.

The use of military force to oust a dictatorship so a sovereign people can realize self-determination is at least justifiable, if not usually practical Trumpism is not that. It’s the use of military force to kill or abduct individual leaders & intimidate governments into becoming client states

Don't kid yourselves. The economics will absolutely make sense when compared to the salaried employees this replaces. They've raised their last series before they have no choice but to start fucking their customers over, but the results are already enough to lay off a ton of devs, PM's, and QA.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

Reading this story—about how the Pentagon has been given so much extra money it's struggling to spend it all—while thinking about the formerly homeless tenants I've spoken with in recent weeks whose housing vouchers are being discontinued for "lack of funds."

So you can keep the Super PACs straight: IL-02: AIPAC (pro-Donna Miller), AI (pro-Jesse Jackson Jr.), crypto (anti-Robert Peters) IL-07: AIPAC (pro-Melissa Conyears-Ervin), crypto (anti-LaShawn Ford) IL-08: AIPAC (pro-Melissa Bean), AI (pro-Bean) IL-09: AIPAC (pro-Laura Fine)

🚨We are calling out the corruption. We cannot allow shady right-wing groups to buy Democratic seats in Illinois.

Fuck yes

Just saying, if that is the current situation here in the United States—having not been our situation for 200+ years—such that law enforcement cannot operate without concealing their identities, then obviously the ruling party, the Republicans, has failed and must thrown out of office and disbanded.

"When ICE's ordinary operations require protection from law rather than obedience to it, abolition is not a radical slogan but a natural conclusion."
