Dems are spending $20M to find the Joe Rogan of the Left But when the top star of one of cable’s top-rated shows gives a pro-immigrant speech & another wears an Abolish ICE shirt, Dems are dead silent Imagine how many times Fox would’ve replayed a wrestler wearing a Let’s Go Brandon shirt

Something something unexamined imperialist ideology in OSR / "dungeon crawling" something something

gonna have to thank mine for not being here

Thinking a bit more about Sinners, and I think I can make the case that Mary's selfish stubborness ended up being a net negative for Remmick after all.

I don't care if an elected official has a (D) next to their name, if they support shit like this they might as well be MAGA.

I kid you not, my work knows that I do drawing on the side and someone in the office told me AI could save me time and my response was "but I like drawing" and it broke them. They didn't know how to answer, they just couldn't comprehend that people make art because they like making art.

can’t believe this still needs to be said, but: stop following altNPS. none of them work for the NPS and they exist to do Qanon numbers station crap and sell merch. it’s annoying for a lot of us that are actually NPS. thanks

Hell yeah, my rep!

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

know your rights turn off face id shut the fuck up we don’t fuck with 12

It's vital to emphasize that the GOP has been calling for violence against their political opponents for more than a decade now, led by Trump. The violence keeps escalating, and they keep doing it because they're getting results.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Whatever complaints you or I have with the Iranian government, every one traces back to the US and UK deciding to overthrow their government, and steal their oil. The ruling class doesn't care about any of the Iranian government's positions save that they do not answer to us, which is intolerable.

Plenty of historical monarchs *wish* they'd had the kind of autocratic power Trump is claiming

We all know that every conservative accusation is a confession, but I continue to be startled at the consistency and specificity of that axiom.

The sole criteria I will be voting on in the 2028 primary is which candidate credibly promises to put the largest number of Trump officials in prison. I do not care about any of their other policies.

Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers instagram.com/rios.imagines "These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect"

"riots are the language of the unheard" is a good quote for many contexts, but in LA it is the cops that have been rioting, and their voice dominates every facet of mass media.

Guys, please talk about Thiago Avila. He's the Brazilian activist on Freedom Flotilla kidnapped by Israel. He's still detained and has been doing a hunger and water strike since yesterday early morning. There have been reports of unsanitary conditions too. Please talk about him.

was wondering when the Disney behemoth would begin to stir...

Defy the Gods is an intentionally queered, Bronze Age sword & sorcery game that creator @hecticelectron.bsky.social said reflects the joy and doom in all our lives.

I wish I'd kept track of the accounts here that assured us this wouldn't happen.

I say this with love: I understand that a lot of people didn't expect the fascists to militarily occupy an opposition stronghold. And yet, it is what people SHOULD have expected. It is what Trump tried to do in 2020, when institutionalists held him back. Those institutionalists are gone.

Glad for my fellow Chicagoans that Lightfoot is no longer mayor.

Chicago is a gorgeous, vibrant, and yes, VERY SAFE city where the overwhelming majority of people are friendly and kind. The "Chicago is a violent wasteland" narrative is racist bullshit. Do certain areas need better funding and fewer (ie no) cops? You betcha. But the people are awesome.
