Corporate media would be a hundred times as outraged by this breach of decorum as they have been about the daily constitutional crises and illegal closures that have actually cost human lives already. Which is all the more reason to do it, honestly.

FRASIER: you havent seen a single Gojira picture before the heisei era! NILES: i'll have you know "Gojira tai Megaro" has long been a laugh out loud favourite of mine FRASIER: please! if you'd cited "Gojira tai Hedora"- MARTY: godzilla? what, that japanese king kong ripoff?

Just making sure everyone saw what the former Social Security Administrator told CNBC on Saturday...

Reminds me of the Pod Save America episode where Harris's advisors talked about how defending trans rights "didn't move the needle" with voters. "We don't like bullies. We stand up to bullies." That could be a winning message! Of course, to sell the message, they'd need to start doing it.

I’m pretty sure this is what voters want from their elected officials www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

I wish more people understood that the anti-trans and anti-vaccine movements are deeply intertwined, and by allowing bigotry and conspiracies to supersede medical and scientific knowledge on the subject of trans healthcare, mainstream press paved the way for anti-vaccine rhetoric to flourish.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This is perhaps the greatest thing on the internet right now.

“keir this is poland, we just signed them. they spent over 4% of gdp on defense last year. their only flaw is they’re not deterred by mutually assured destruction”

I don't always self-promote the newsletter I edit, but when I do it's the issue that looks at stories about selling out. inneresting.substack.com/p/238-whats-...

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

The right wing attack on transgender people was already evil, but the attack on transgender members of the military is INSANE. It's never been about a random NCAA swimming meet or anyone getting cancelled over a slip of the tongue on pronouns. It's about good old fashioned HATE.

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked.” -Timothy Snyder

Masks and handwashing work very well against the current form of flu, in the first year of Covid, when more people were masking, we knocked out an entire strain of flu. So there’s yet another reason to start wearing them.

Pedro Pascal responding to transphobia on social media: “I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.” (via @charliejane.bsky.social) [capitalfm.com]

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

I think reading scifi as much as I do makes shit like my last repost feel more… Disappointing in a way. Still scary. Still awful. But so cliche. Cliche and terrifying is a weird mix. I’m sure there’s a word for it in another language.

Not a bad idea -- if House Republicans refuse to hold town halls in their congressional districts, local Democrats should set one of their own up.

and indeed, as i warned - we have now seen every identifiable trans employee resource group member fired. this was cover for a purge and the media went for it without a murmur.

He did it. He really did. He said “I bought the Washington Post and now it is my personal livejournal and anyone who doesn’t want to write entries for my personal livejournal should gtfo”

Seems like a good time to tap the sign once again: would strongly recommend supporting non-billionaire owned news media - especially the independent, local, worker-run and/or reader funded variety

Budgets are statements of values. And what we're seeing is that House Republicans value ripping food and health care away from millions of Americans in order to partly pay for tax cuts for the rich.

Finished Season 1 of Severance and I’m not about to start season 2 tonight because that last episode spiked my anxiety in all the best ways.

Maybe the problem is that we haven’t leveraged the natural enemy of Doge, which is Nyan Cat. National Yeet A Nazi Coalition Against Tyranny

Moved the turntable into the office. Trying to bring a new vibe into the new space. It's like burning sage except with less smoke and more Radiohead.

YOUNG MAN, there's no need to feel down i said YOUNG MAN, pagliacci the clown you can SEE HIM he is playing in town you should go and have a good time

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again
