The test of our times is whether we've still got enough conviction in our hearts and democracy in our rotten system to produce another FDR.

You know what will really win over the hearts and minds of disaffected young men? Being a party of spineless wimps who will happily betray their values at a moment's notice.

Phenomenal piece by @michellegoldberg.bsky.social here. (Gift link)

This is such a good example of "turn every page" journalism - nothing less fun/glam than clicking through every footnote. And it's roughly 10,000x more newsy than the thumbsucker RFK profiles reported with big travel budgets.

Second season of The Rehearsal cemented Fielder's status as one of the greats (if he wasn't there already), and the show just keeps on going.

Nancy Mace is a weird combination of try-hard shamelessness, laziness and ignorance — sometimes regarding her own political subcultures. Remember when she told an audience of conservative Christians she gave up premarital sex to make the prayer breakfast? How did she think that was gonna go down?

Oh hey, almost certain this is where I learned to ski. It's not called Big Mountain anymore. 🫤

I wish I was half as quick-witted as this kid. What an incredible parting shot.

Not a nebula—just Earth showing off. NASA astronaut Anne McClain snapped this stunning top-down view of lightning from the ISS, lighting up night clouds over Alabama and Georgia. Space turns storms into celestial art. Image Credit: NASA/Anne McClain

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Not an Alex Garland hater, and I'm intrigued. Still, it's an interesting choice when David Lowery's The Green Knight already nails that gloomy, melancholic fantasy mood so well. I watch it every Christmas!

Some advice to the doom and gloom crowd who wanna speedrun straight to armed rebellion/dystopic hoarding - if I can’t trust you to show up to city council meetings and give public comment, what the fuck makes you think I’m going to trust you with a weapon at my back?

The fascist win if you lose your compassion for other people. That's part of the war. You have to keep compassion.

"I'd crusade if the new Pope asked me to" wow, cool. What if he asked you to love and protect immigrants

The most basic and foundational principle of constitutional government. This is like becoming a mathematician without ever learning your multiplication tables.

Today in 1937 Tommy Woodrooffe, a very drunk broadcaster, commentated on a Royal Navy Fleet Review. Only for a few minutes, until they faded him out. #CareerGoals.

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

no one is doing it like her

Just change his name to James R. Coomer.

Rest in peace to the legendary Joe Don Baker. #Mitchell #MST3K

Novel reading called “disastrous” in 1853 because… some slaves read ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ which inspired them to run away! Most INSANE quote: “What adds to the baseness of the act, on the part of these runaways, is that they were property of the minister of the gospel of Christ!”

A lot of people showing their asses by not thinking about how this administration is currently using accusations of antisemitism to absolutely bulldoze free speech protections. Calling this guy dumb for saying this means you aren't paying attention to what is happening right now.

Hell yeah, Diarmaid MacCulloch! I need to put Lower Than Angels (and the rest of these books, really) on my list, but his A History of Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years is my first recommendation for anyone interested in religious history.

If you want to see guitar sword fights played out across the Australian outback, but can’t wait for Death Stranding 2… May I suggest my graphic novel? amzn.asia/d/hPeHmzN

As far as I'm concerned, MAGA Christianity should be condemned as a heresy by the broader Christian community, but this is a good start.

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

As a lifelong Catholic, I'd like to invite these MAGA critics to help themselves to a chalice filled with shut the fuck up.

It's just another scam, I'm sure, but man, a person can dream.

i'm still so mad about polygon

So fucking tired of politicians who believe in nothing.

There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

From deep within their dark morbid longing to be ‘cool’; a goal within neither their grasp nor their reach.

This is at the heart of it. There's also Evangelicals' comfort, built over decades, with simply denying factual reality. From creationism to abortion to fraudulent historical scholarship, they'll accept any lie that cocoons their worldview from critical thinking.
