Whether it's Democrats putting flyers on Chris Cillizza’s Tesla or Republicans assassinating Democratic lawmakers, it's time for both sides to turn down the temperature.

This is what Sir Kier Starmer actually believes.

Lucky sod

i feel like part of the issue with the electorate is that in a two party system by thermostatic politics and a voter base that doesn't want to engage in critical thinking about policy, you get people who just ignore the rot in conservatism post-Trump (tweet screenshot from 2020)

New isolated lone wolf mental health episode we shouldn’t politicize just dropped

Trump has not only symbolically condoned political violence, he's *materially enabled it* with the powers of his office by officially pardoning the traitors against America of the January 6th insurrection. Every other unhinged right-wing lunatic can see that and do the math

There is only one side in American politics that consistently supports and endorses political violence. People need to stop being afraid to say so.

The blood of the Hortman's is directly on Trump's hands. Not just Trump either but the entire far-right media ecosystem that pushes that Schmittian narrative 24/7 that Democrats, liberals, progressives and socialists are all "traitors". They killed the Hortman's as much as the gunman did.

The conservative movement is just three internet scams wrapped in racist trench-coat.

Noteworthy for the first time I've seen "quitting ECHR not enough". The Right's opinion-industrial complex has ratcheted itself onto the full load-them-onto-cattle-trucks phase.

Still the greatest military headline of all time

I feel like "fuck Anne Frank" is actually a very useful signal because the people to whom it appears a worthwhile thing to say can quickly identify each other while the rest of us can immediately block them. It basically perfectly filters a certain kind of inane edgy teen bigot approach to politics.

as good as boy george's response to jk rowling is, let's not forget who he is. a guy who imprisoned a sex worker in his house and abused and terrorised him and then never apologised for it.

There's too much of this "you have to accept that some people have bigoted, beliefs, and you have to give those bigoted beliefs the same respect as the people being harmed by those bigoted beliefs" And not enough of this "We should have more justice in society"

Oh youre jacking off to the sabrina carpenter sexy dog pic? Boring. Ill instead be jacking off to the album covers of Schubert , and Strauss

The finale of Mulaney’s Everybody’s Live

No Kangs

Grain of salt necessary, but this is interesting

I doubt he's grad he made these calls now

every time i watch it again i'm amazed at just how quickly Dr. Strangelove gets going at full stride. they send out Attack Plan R within like first few minutes. keeps up a crazy pace for a movie that's almost entirely composed of guys sitting down having conversations

Can't you people just be happy for Lindsay Graham having the best Pride of his life

This is insane

Fascinating

"Whats this line item?" "Counterintelligence, sir" "It says they bought over 10,000 pizzas in FY25?" "Yes, sir"

this shit is all elaborate fan fiction, every actual thing that underpins American dominance in science and tech is having a fucking sledgehammer taken to it because the groyphers in charge think expertise is woke and gay, and more actual news outlets (so not TFP) should point that out.

Exactly the kind of character witness you don’t want.

Unfortunately if the current Iranian leadership survives we may face the worst of all worlds—an angry Iran exiting NPT and more determined than ever to weaponize its nuclear program.

I'm dreading seeing liberal opponents of Netanyahu thinking they can separate the war from the government prosecuting it. I'm dreading seeing western leftists thinking they can praise Iranian resistance without at the same time supporting the Iranian government.

I love reading serious stories about guys who believe AGI is real, it feels like a bunch of millionaires plotting to find and capture Santa Claus

Both regimes are vile and monstrous and also adept at using liberal or left wing framings when it is useful to them to gain support from westerners.
