don’t worry the democrats would never seek to reclaim musk, they’re far too committed to trans rights, starving our bloated defense industry apparatus, reigning in financial chicanery in crypto and stock markets, and other nonnegotiable values of that nature

new turnstile fucks. i am so happy

I'm actually super fucking mad that the Elon Musk era is gonna end because of narcissist infighting with a former reality TV show host, and not because even a single institution in American life made a serious effort to hold him responsible for a decade plus long crime spree

Two unfathomably rich nepobaby dumbfucks slap-fighting each other on their respective vanity networks over how to strip-mine public infrastructure is precisely how Mark Twain predicted American Empire would end.

groimes you haeve to come get me at Geetmo

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys

The Panic of 1893 & his ensuing bankruptcy saved Twain from vulgar liberalism & made possible his most incisive political commentary.

This is the best of the reviews I’ve read so far. A lot the usual Twain Doctrine jibber-jabber up front, but it goes somewhere.

"Denouncing Biden’s run now ⁠that he’s a political nonentity⁠—out of office and perhaps very near death⁠—isn’t taking a brave stand against the internal culture of the Democratic Party. It’s a reflection of it"

"In the face of mass institutional acquiescence to fascism, there’s a lot to be said for loudly asserting the value of radical empathy and social justice."

"I care about social cohesion and social solidarity, which is why I tried to convince white people in Ohio that Haitian immigrants were eating their dogs." Naturally, Douthat does not challenge him at all on these lies.

When I interviewed KKK leaders in Arkansas, this is what they said too. “We don’t hate anyone. We just love our own people.” Then they burned a cross.

I’m bald. I don’t know how anything works. People don’t like my comedy. Fine, I’ll do it. I’ll be the Joe Rogan of the left.

my fucking God

I spoke to the person who AI-generated the Chicago Sun-Times reading list. Says he's very embarrassed. This was part of a generic package inserted into newspapers and other publications, so likely to run elsewhere. He didn't know it'd be in Chicago Sun-Times www.404media.co/chicago-sun-...

@bradlisti.bsky.social Hi Brad. I’m really enjoying the ‘Character Studies’ series and hope you keep putting them out!

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.

Janinna Sesa worked alongside Pope Leo XIV in Chiclayo, Peru from 2015 until 2023. She spoke with NPR about his leadership in times of crisis.

new pope! *crowd goes wild* American pope! *crowd boos* woke for an American! *crowd goes wild* bad on protecting abusive priests! *crowd boos* hates JD Vance! *crowd goes wild*

My insta-take, which is worth what you paid for it: Seems like a compromise candidate who will follow Pope Francis's global justice agenda but throw bones to the traditionalists on church doctrine.

He also manually blocked life saving food and aids drugs in Africa, already leading to people dying. It should never go unmentioned that he and Luke Farritor murdered people on Elon Musk’s orders.
