I find the current political situation impossible to parse except as a global community of shithead gangster bosses doing odious favors for each other. Domestically and internationally, that's the only ideological through-line. Bossism, fascism, sure, but finally it's just Epstein Island everywhere.

Gene Hackman dying seems a good time to tell you that Sam Raimi made a western called The Quick and the Dead, absolutely every cool actor is in it, Hackman destroys in every scene as the Big Bad, and for weird reasons 1995 America decided it was bad and erased it from memory

What is John Fetterman's role in the Democratic party if not to present a credible threat of hammer-throwing the fash dweebs doing this. You have this goon who is basically the same size as Scot Pollard and he's just sending sour ROFL emojis to Mehdi Hasan and being weird to reporters. USE THE OAF.

As someone very familiar with USAID and what it does, it's been an incredibly depressing time—not just for the first-hand effects described in this report, but seeing right-wing media and politicians flat-out lying about what USAID does.

You may not like it, but Leah's right. There's a reason the Prodigal Son is a parable in almost every culture. when someone experiencing cognitive dissonance comes to you, you have two choices: embrace them, and win them over forever; or reject them, ensuring they never again question their beliefs.

Libs replying to this saying it's too soon to be saying things about the crash, while Trump is in the WH briefing room already blaming Biden and DEI for it, is the reason Democrats are losing the messaging war

It’s getting real y’all. 97% of New York Magazine Union members just signed a pledge to walk out of work if we don’t get a fair contract from Vox Media. If you love @nymag.com and the work we do, sign our solidarity pledge to support us in the event of a walkout: nymagunion.org/reader-pledge

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

I happened upon the last 30 minutes of School Of Rock, which 1. still is a delight, and 2. revived and reinforced my opinion that Jack Black's performance in this is the most singular Movie Star Shit work in the last couple decades. Specific to his skills, yes, but literally no one else could do it.

Get ready for the MAGA nuclear option on reproductive choice with the use of the Comstock Act of 1873 to target providers and pills. It will also be used to go after abortion travel and into areas of sexual conduct and control. This will be THE women’s rights fight.

Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.

Uhhh just because it looks like an effigy of a guy with well-known fascist sympathies was hung upside down at the place in Italy where the body of an infamous fascist was hung upside down 80 years ago doesn't mean that's what they actually did.
