Here’s Aaron Rodgers saying Elon Musk used DOGE to get rid of “stupid ass programs” and wonders why Trump hasn’t imprisoned more government officials. Good luck to the Steelers!

There needs to be a conversation about film fest entry fees. Mostly, about how ridiculous the fees have gotten, especially the later it gets. If you are not an Oscar, BAFTA, Euro or CSA sanctioned event, have been in existence for a year or few, $65 US is abominable. #film

I am a staunch free speech supporter. But after ten years of freaking out about woke students deplatforming right-wing speakers, I don't have the energy to pivot to criticizing a fascist president for launching an all-out attack on free expression at universities.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

While it could take years for ICE to ramp up enforcement as a result of this spending, you need to understand that we are talking a complete sea change in ICE's ability to ramp up mass deportations.

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night. The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, and Palestinians.

If this bill becomes law, ICE will become the best-resourced law enforcement agency in the history of the country, with more funding for detention than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons.

I have a lot of respect for Sean Speer, but I worry about this sort of complacency settling back in. Just because the U.S. may not be about to invade us doesn’t mean we should be pretending we can turn back the clock and treat it as a reliable partner again anytime soon. thehub.ca/2025/05/21/r...

Don't look away, don't normalize: this is the virtually unconstrained leader of the world's most powerful country ambushing the president of South Africa with conspiracy-fueled racist propaganda promoted by his unelected billionaire maybe-appointee who has caused the deaths of children through DOGE.

Everything anyone tells you about a "useful major" is based on shit from 20 years ago that will no longer be applicable by the time you graduate so just pick a thing you actually enjoy because it's going to be a fucking dice roll anyway.

Yuuuuuup. Ideas have never been the issue. The key is picking which ones are worth writing about, and which are worth writing will change with the specific author. I wrote a whole fucking novel about the moon turning to cheese. I assure you, ideas are the easy part. Execution is what matters.

As someone who grew up in apocalyptic Christian evangelicalism, I cannot emphasis this enough: Christians are the ones driving US policy here. They need Israel to exist so the end of the world can happen and Jesus can come back. They don’t care about Jewish people.

One reason I think there's even a search going on for a "Joe Rogan of the Left" is that there are no cool non-sellout rockstars anymore really. Not even trying to be pat about that, the music industry is a totally different thing now, it used to be a carrier signal for a lot of good

Wait, is this -- is this real? They actually published a list of books that may or may not exist? (The Last Algorithm by Andy Weir is, for example, not an actual book!) Please, jfc, tell me this isn't real. I'm not finding it online anywhere, which makes me hope it's fake? Gotta be fake, please?
