2025 creating sentences we never could have imagined existing

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

I don’t really wanna hear that some people might be so odious they don’t deserve due process. We gave Göring, Ribbentrop, Keitel, etc. a fucking trial.

I was able to include a clip of Tommy Lasorda saying the F-word a lot in this one. It's one of my better efforts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEG1...

Twitter phasing out DMs the day after it comes out that Elon has been using them to arrange drive-through bastards with ladies who were fired from podcasts is so fucking funny

y'all are welcome to ride in my classic 2009 Outback anytime

Attempting to murder a Jewish politician and his family on Passover because you disagree with him in Israel is pretty much the definition of when anti-Zionism becomes antisemitism www.pennlive.com/crime/2025/0...

AXIOS: some anonymous Democrat says that we shouldn’t go to bat for immigrants BILL KRISTOL, FORMERLY OF THE WEEKLY STANDARD, CITING JONATHAN VAN LAST ALSO FORMERLY OF THE WEEKLY STANDARD: Abolish ICE was right, these bastards are fuckers ALMOST ALL DEMOCRATS: btw we’re with Bill on this

libertarianism is about being bailed out by international financial institutions

I don’t really give a shit how much of a conservative this makes me sound like, but the United States has suffered an existential collapse in the civic virtue of our citizens necessary to sustain a liberal democracy.

also it’s obvious but it needs stating: the idea of turning into salvador into a giant lawless zone of gulags for americans who displease the administration is not authoritarian: this is one of the first major acts by MAGA that id classify as literally arendt-style totalitarianism

Just thinking of this, and imagine reading in a century or so that one of the proximate causes of the mid-2020s recession was "Employees at an Australian skincare company made a slightly annoying promotional video"

its so funny that the thing capital decided to stage this ridiculous rebellion & burn the world down over wasn't communism, wasn't socialism, wasn't even social democracy, it was literally just *full employment*. these people are fucking morons lol

The fascist regime pretends to care about us, but no one in America has done more to legitimize anti-Jewish hate than Musk and Trump.

What if there was an opposition party that just said "If you give us a majority in congress we'll remove these freaks and criminals from power"

two big sexys

Birth rates and male mental health/loneliness are both legitimate societal issues that also unfortunately have been adopted as causes by the worst people imaginable

jesus fucking christ is it really that hard to understand that were Harris in office Mahmoud Khalil would be eagerly awaiting the birth of a child and 1000+ student visas would not have been terminated in the name of 'opposing antisemitism'? or is acknowledging that going to break you

us government went from telling miners “learn to code” to telling coders “learn to mine” in less than ten years

Married to Burt Reynolds!

My brain still works after this incredibly stressful week. Which is nice.

The argument against nominative determinism just took a big blow.

Humanity is getting a very quick refresher course in how evil, dangerous psychopaths can simultaneously be utterly pathetic losers. There is no contradiction!

‘WITNESS ME’

periodically I'll think "surely we could've negotiated with these people, surely there was a concession we could've given them instead of letting them blow up the economy" and then they will explain their grievances and I'll feel like I'm getting off light with just the economy being destroyed

wait til this guy finds out about 2011, 2012, and 2013

Trump effectively hacked the media (broadly defined, including legacy newspapers and tech platforms) by lying incessantly, blatantly, egregiously. Once factual reality itself became partisan, many of those orgs concluded that valuing truth is unfairly biased, and info must be distorted to be fair.

I said it, I'll keep saying it. The bad headlines are already locked in for *months*. We are no longer choosing between good or bad, only bad or worse. People are *not* going to give Trump a pass

wut

bsky moderation cooked my ass here

MOVIE IDEA: The President is insane, so the wealthiest & most powerful people in America kidnap Andrew Lloyd Weber and force him to write a musical about how free trade & immigration are good, while dictatorships are bad; these lessons are delivered by sexy dancing cats

Go back in time and tell yourself that one day the fucking MTA will do more to stand up to authoritarianism than Congress, the Supreme Court, and Columbia University *combined*
