Abrego Garcia being returned to the USA not 24 hrs after matty y went to the mattyresses to argue it was a classic example of a lost cause is the perfect distillation of the value of matty y as a political observer

Sure, he’s polling at 18% favorability, has no impulse control, is actively working to dismantle the government, and at times over the last year lashed out at Jews, black people, and trans people. But what if he was working for us?

Nazis.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Outting someone as a pedo hits different when you made them president for your own benefit

i let my son punch me in the head and i tell him the day you can kill me in one blow is the day you officially become a Teen

"legacy media can't afford to keep good employees" says the guy who has probably a billion+ dollars of failed media projects on his resume

They're literally doing the meme

Insanely cool world we live in.

For the straights that don’t understand why Pride is necessary, this is why. Marginalized people are in danger and deserve to live in joy and safety. This is a tragedy.

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

Yeah I think they've made it out to be that way because that is factually how it is

Funniest detail to me re: Thom Yorke's weird relationship to Israel is that it's the first place Creep really took off so Israel kinda launched Radiohead's career. Israeli music fans could not get enough of a song that asks "what the hell am I doing here" and answers with "I don't belong here."

Kind of fascinating to live through an entire society just giving up and wandering away

Such a crushing disappointment. Maybe not surprising.. Thom really only ever grappled with the aesthetics of alienation. Lmao at the mic drop phrasing around doing both-sidesism.

Here is the same RFK Jr. book covered by 2 different outlets. You be the judge:

We are like six months from them outlawing seatbelts.

You know, things definitely look bad right now but this has fully convinced me there’s no way these fucking dweeb losers are going to win long-term.

If Brian Eno can openly rally against Microsoft like this, it's not asking much to simply not buy & promote Microsoft stuff. There's a billion games out there, the new Doom is mid, the original Oblivion is far more charming and Game Pass doesn't even have Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon. Fuck them.

Saying this “provokes” escalation plays straight into the logic of collective punishment. Zionist violence doesn’t need a trigger. Framing it as a consequence of individual action shifts blame away from those orchestrating the violence and onto those already being brutalized.

Remember when we had a "Me Too" movement that lasted for about five minutes, imposed tangible consequences on approximately no one, and produced a hysterical, years-long backlash? Sorry, sorry, didn't mean to distract you from the Men In Crisis storyline ...

Federal Republicans showing yet again that conservatives only saw states rights arguments useful inasmuch as they could thwart racial and gender progress. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The vote was 215-214 with the 3 notable missing votes because Dems died in office. If you are one of those people scolding those of us who say it's time for old ass reps to retire, know you're part of the reason all these Americans got fucked.

Revised budget prohibits Medicaid funds from being used on *all* gender affirming care, not just for minors. This is what we all knew was coming and anyone who pretended otherwise was very obviously bullshitting familiesusa.org/wp-content/u...

“The Columbia footage that we subpoenaed conclusively proves that Mahmoud never attempted to run from the ICE agents, that the government lied once again, & that there was no valid reason for the arrest of a US permanent resident and human rights defender” - Ramzi Kassem to @premthakker.bsky.social

The great thing about journalism is all the gifted reporters and editors have lost the jobs they went into debt to train for and sacrificed their emotional health to do well, but half a dozen middle-aged moral disasters are now the face of the whole discipline because they suck up to billionaires

Lmao

The person who diligently runs the Formula 1 Google calendar I'm subscribed to just invited myself and several thousand other anonymous strangers to their personal hairdresser appointment, which is very cute.
