The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight and hurt each other.

Great news from N.Carolina

Call them what they are: laughingstocks, like the idiots who drive them and the idiot who makes them: How the Cybertruck Came to Embody Tesla’s Problems www.wsj.com/business/aut...

Starship Troopers (1997) and WALL-E (2008) , IMHO two most important and most ignored, early warnings for humanity that came from Hollywood. The sci-fi genre gave us also Elysium in 2013. Each of those three is way more prophetic than we wanted to admit, and more valuable than e.g. Dune.

It's not only that we have forgotten the historical lessons of the 1930s, raise of fascism, the Holocaust and World War Two. We've stopped incorporating them in the popular culture, allowing the fascism to sprout again. Pink Floyd's The Wall is the creation of the 1980s... we have been warned.

Banksy Unveils New Lighthouse Mural With the Words ‘I Want to Be What You Saw in Me’ in France Located on a beige wall beside a sidewalk, the black lighthouse appears to merge with a painted shadow of a nearby metal safety post. www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/b...

The Trump administration has climbed down from the court-defying pedestal where it perched for months, claiming that Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s future was beyond its control, Nick Miroff reports.

The whole field needs rebranding: It's not about "saving the planet" (as if it were a distinct thing), it's about saving ourselves. Securing a safe, stable future. Climate science is as much about the impending ecological collapse (and subsequent famines) as it is about weather. #ClimateBrawl

This is a catastrophe.

Here’s how bullshit the charges are:

Ultimately, Trump turns every alliance into a crime scene.

Is there any follow up to this paper? It's from 2017 but it might be an answer for all the incels 🤣 The scientists explain this as “mate deprivation”, a theory that suggests that animals that don’t have access to females are more likely to show such behaviour. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

The plan appears to be working.

“Though both Hitler and Hugenberg were fiercely anti-Communist, antidemocratic, anti-immigrant, and anti-Semitic, their attempts at political partnership failed spectacularly and repeatedly.” More on Hitler's relationship with his oligarchs: theatln.tc/86EUCO0C

Remember all those confrontations of host Chris Hansen, partly filmed with a hidden camera, with adult men arriving at a sting house to have sex with a minor and typically being arrested as a result? #NotaDragQueen

Accurate

Gotta love this humble, golden frame... nice touch. Touché!... and they say that Germans do not have the sense of humor.

Ukrainian Armed Forces commemorate the D-Day anniversary by targeting another fascist aggressor state ... 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

First I snorted, then I peed my pants... and then started weeping because as much as this meme is funny, the reality of living in The Handsmaid Tale is tragic... #handmaidstale

Definitely, Donald Trump’s marriage to Elonia might prove to be the most "difficult"... though a question how long Melania will love him is open.

Reply with ❤️ if you want both!

Irony here is heavy as lead... but than again it died in America long time ago. When, in your opinion, the political reality jumped the shark, and we somehow entered this bizarre, parallel timeline where black is white, wrong is right, and crooked is moral? Was it the golden elevator moment?

This passage is part of Jesus' teaching during the Sermon on the Mount, where He warns about false prophets who appear harmless but are inwardly dangerous. Jesus explains that you can recognize true and false prophets by the "fruit" they produce, www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...

If you know, you know... 🤣 understanding this meme also makes you a living fossil ;)

Meanwhile, no one is talking about the jobs report, how the TACO team is tanking the economy, and destroying democracy.

Touché!

Scenes of courage as communities demand accountability from federal agents.

What an eye sore 🙄

I am convinced that we live in some deviant, parallel reality... is there somewhere a normal world?

It's getting better every minute... like in other divorces, some friends are taking sides... and rhe others try to mediate.

Where is Jerry Springer when we need him?

Elon Musk said SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft “immediately” because of threats by President Donald Trump to cancel government contracts with Musk’s businesses. Musk’s announcement on his social media site X escalated a war of words with Trump www.cnbc.com/2025/06/05/m...

To recognize #satire online, look for humor, exaggeration, irony, or absurdity in the content. Check if the source is known for satire or has disclaimers. Verify if the story is too outrageous or politically incorrect. Cross-check facts with reliable sources. Watch for imitation of real news styles.

The most interesting clash between Donald Trump and Elon Musk “is the one between two guys who thought they had bought each other off,”

This will be more exciting as the Musk vs. Zuckerberg cage fight that never happened ... this time - Elon and Donald are in the same weight category.

When a 'tough guy' needs masked men to do his dirty work, what does that tell us about his real strength? Join the discussion.

This divorce is getting better every minute...
