Kanye’s reaction is the funniest but this is the second funniest

Thriving in your mid-30s means coming to terms with the fact that your one leg is probably gonna fall asleep when you cross your legs… and it’s fine.

centrist: we need to focus on popular policy me: holy shit! you mean we’re finally going to support universal healthcare? centrist: no haha not that policy me: ok so…gun control? centrist: no lol not that policy either me: ok which policy? centrist: oh you know the ones

The story of the “Tower of Babel” proves that God is a union busting scumbag. Change my mind.

The quote.

There's something surreal about watching this Conservative MP speak in the House about how "words matter" knowing the son he raised (Keean Bexte) called me a filthy whore last week lmao

In plain sight:

I Know What You Did Last Supper

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

the christian right is premised on systematic child abuse

also you all need to see this, because this is something I don't think *anybody* could predict for where this ad goes

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents. Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

new gender neutral greeting just dropped

conservatism basically seems to be the idea that the chosen few shouldn’t ever have to feel uncomfortable. a smooth-brained politics that desires nothing less than a frictionless existence of homogeneity

i think people are missing the forest for the trees with this one. RFK Jr wants complete centralized knowledge of every American's health in order to exact control on what medications are allowed and in order to fabricate "evidence" for each and all of his nonsense theories.

BREAKING: The Food and Drug Administration is suspending a quality control program for testing milk and other dairy products. The agency is citing reduced capacity. It has 20,000 fewer employees as a result of the DOGE cuts under Trump and Musk.

With these posts, they’ve made it essentially inarguable that they’re deliberately defying the Supreme Court.

Wish I could be this happy

fell for it again award

The skeleton key to understanding reactionary conservatism is quite simple: they are scared, all the time, of everything.

This has been studied extensively: Regret rates for gender affirming care, including for children, are extremely low. A core tactic of conspiracy theorists is to ignore existing bodies of research and demand further study until they get the result they want.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

“Take out the equivalent of a mortgage at 18, but here’s the best part: you’re also going to jail”

The fact that we are still getting "he just wants to improve government efficiency!" articles is driving me batshit

The US is undergoing the worst self-inflicted destruction of health, education, and knowledge creation infrastructure since the great leap forward. We will all be substantially less educated, poorer, and sicker while millions will die from completely preventable causes. It's civilizational suicide.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

Elon Musk: pours tens of millions into a race that has never seen even a fraction of that much money. bribes multiple voters with $1 million checks to vote. offers any Wisconsin voter who proves they voted $50. wears a fucking cheesehead Wisconsin: votes against his candidate by historic margins

so much of 80s and 90s cyberpunk seems prescient because it was based in part on shit that happened 300-400 years ago and may well happen again

Threats like this can’t be allowed to stand, and should spur exactly the action Trump doesn’t want to see. The United States is no longer an ally to Canada or European countries. It’s time for them to work together to counter US economic warfare and make it feel the consequences of Trump’s actions.

they are literally prosecuting thought crimes. this is fascism

I wrote about the free speech advocates who spent the last decade pearl clutching about the campus left while (intentionally or unintentionally) manufacturing consent for the right-wing assault on free expression.

Dear journalists: stop giving this administration the benefit of the doubt. Stop using old editorial standards and practices and norms. Assume that everything they say from the get-go is a lie because it always, always, is.

Reminder from 2020 of what all the "Cancel Culture" grifters, who are almost unanimously silent as ICE continues to kidnap people, were angling for: A police state.

The United States government is abducting college students in broad daylight for protesting genocide while Disney and the Hollywood establishment are smearing their new Snow White for saying “free palestine.” The institutions have failed
