Honestly, the way to do this would be to make a new show like Star Trek: The Next Generation, where every episode is a morality play without being preachy, and figure out how to get CBS to show it to 30 million people every week to try to make them better people.

Part of me thought I should ignore it. But there’s so much bollocks talked about how fans should react and about Liverpool supporters, that I had to. Contains offensive language tonyevans92a.substack.com/p/a-day-on-t...

I was panicked that my 7-year-old might freak out during the face melting scene in Indiana Jones but she said "I guess he shouldn't have opened that" as seriously as possible and I've been crying laughing for 10 minutes

This was a recent post in an IVF FB group. So many people believed the “free IVF” thing and were shocked when clinics didn’t drop their prices.

'We have to keep the focus on tariffs' — folks, the cashier at Safeway has that covered. You are free to talk about the innocent men we've sent to a foreign gulag and the lie it gives to Trump's posturing on his main issue if you so choose. History will mark it if you don't.

Do you think that if Jan 6th would have happened any time other than the depths of COVID the voters would have maybe reacted differently and maybe remembered? It was right as the first vaccinations were happening and I gotta wonder if it got thrown into the pile of things everyone wanted to get past

Halving the SSA's headcount by 50% is cutting social security. It is. It will prevent people from getting the money to which they are entitled. Don't be fucking fooled.

I keep returning to this. I used to believe if you couldn't see Trump and co. for who they are within seconds, you were somehow invested in not seeing it. And that's still true, at least for the opportunistic lampreys in their wake. But after all these years I must surmise that many are just rubes.

Literally all they’re doing is a private equity play. They need these offices so they’ll have to rent them back putting further strain on the budget and justifying further cuts (while their friends make money on the deal)

The United States is now an open kleptocracy. The Constitution has been suspended to allow the wealthiest man in the world to loot and destroy the federal government.

What will happen: Musk will use control of the federal payments system to deny money to blue states, creating budget crises and austerity in them. They will then say the problems caused by this represent the failure of profligate Democrats and the media will parrot these lies.

people understand that what Trump is doing here is extremely illegal right? there are lots of things you can justifiably be angry with Joe Biden about but "he didn't try to expand the unitary executive through a series of very illegal executive orders" seems like a bad one!

The entire point of the United States, to me, is that it is stronger for its diversity. People should be proud of their heritage, and proud that this country is an amazing melting pot. But here's Dave advocating being assimilationist and keeping quiet instead.

not to downplay the ugliness of this but this is the equivalent of busywork. they are giving him executive orders to sign so that it feels like he’s doing something.
