If only a source of information existed on your phone by which you could fact check your racist bullshit before you spout it into your apparently very broken microphone

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Just for a second anything similar coming to light about Obama… just imagine the media, Fox, CNN, the GOP and the Democrats themselves would be calling for immediate resignation

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

We saw you across the bar and we like your vibe....... and we want to come over and explain the intricate details of different aspect ratios and the career of some cult director from the 1970s who might be sort of fun but is actually not very good once the poppers wear off.

This is unbelievably good news: for the environment, for the world and for Brazil. The Far Right can be stopped. And must be stopped.

Blue no matter who only works for the democrats when it's their POS right wing candidate

REPORTER: Mamdani, are you going to vote for him? SCHUMER: Look, the bottom line is very simple: I have a good relationship with him, and we're continuing to talk. REPORTER: The vote is on Tuesday. What are you going to do? *Schumer walks away*

Amazing! The students were joined by the professors and then went to the countryside and went door-to-door. Vucic used the media and the state against them. I'm so happy for my Serbian friends. And this is fantastic news for Europe. The Far Right can and must be defeated.

This is a really good reason not to privatize every fucking thing.

Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

One of the many reasons Catholics are leaving the church. And don’t hand me the bull that we all deserve prayers. This president is evil and those religious leaders should be in the streets helping the poor and tending to the deported.

It Can't Happen Here, happened here

ProPublica@propublica.org

NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com

Far be it for me to explain jokes to right wingers, but the point is it's a Cheesecake Factory DESIGNED BY SADDAM HUSSEIN, the EX-Iraqi dictator with a reputation for tasteless bling. To slide past the dictator bit and clutch pearls about the Cheese Cake Factory is an interesting choice.

Such a great film

La Película Del Dia En Madrid@peliculamadrid.bsky.social

Se estrena #Moscas del mexicano Fernando Eimbcke. Aclamada como su mejor obra, refina su minimal estilo de observar lo cotidiano con una tierna historia de soledad, pérdida e infancia en tres vidas entrelazadas. shorturl.at/btoqt

I love it when you publish a left wing post and someone scolds you for ever having the naivety to things otherwise like Granddad didn’t give all your aunties communist middle names (which he did).

1492: Conquest of Paradise I’d prefer it if Ridley stopped giving us new films one year and went back and gave us the five hour cut

Short 🧵: I am offline for a few days but noting that Western press has mostly ignored France police use of stun guns has resulted in blowing off child protesters’ limbs (2 cases I have seen so far). This too is the imperial boomerang.

It is also the Gaza effect: you can’t fund, arm and support livestreamed murder and mutilation of children in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran and more ‘over there’ without eventually turning that same violence at peoole at home. Empire’s violence never stays at the periphery!

Ben Shapiro has another film out. With James Franco, Nick Nolte, Rob Lowe, Brad Dourif, Emile Hirsche, Dean Norris, Kodi Smit-McPhee: what is going on?

Can you imagine someone remaking The Cannonball Run but making it about trauma and grief and yet that’s where the makers of the new Evil Dead films seem to have gone. I’d love to see the comedy back from a series that was genuinely scary and genuinely funny
