Call me Charlie. Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me online, I thought I would surf about a little and see the less loony part of the world.

This implicitly puts the responsibility for "stepping back" on the protestors, which amounts to giving in to a dictatorship. Not acceptable. And who cares about maintaining "civic bonds" with degenerates anyway?

NEW: I analyzed nearly 300 federal cases involving the Trump administration. Federal judges—across the political spectrum—are using language I’ve never seen before. One called government actions “unconscionable.” Another quoted Kafka. They’re begging us to pay attention.

they're doing this because the Insurrection Act sounds cool and edgy but they can't actually justify using the Insurrection Act. it's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful. it should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.

There’s no reason that any Democrat should not be running on a platform of abolishing ICE. It should be one of the first question to asked of any candidate, running for a federal office representative, senator, or president.

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

Not good enough

These are one sentence apart. Words, what do they mean. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/o...

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

Everyone likes a good wholesome round of Boer on the Floor.

And to think, Canada could have been a part of this well-run real grown-up country for the low-low price of $61-billion for a missile defence system that won't work

Boooooo

It's extremely telling that Donald Trump's immediate reaction to a German person describing D-Day was to assume that they must be unhappy about D-Day.

Elon getting in trouble because he can't stop posting, been there tbh

God forbid Bezos pay professionals.

i know no one cares about hypocrisy or shamelessness or anything anymore but these people really used to tell us they were scared of an armed govt being turned against americans, they made an entire career out of it

I think I spent a record amount of time working on today's Wordle, mostly because I was under the assumption that it was still using only actual words.

remembered drake is working on a new album and this was the image that popped into my head

This Champions League final is ... not competitive.

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

Dorothy Parker's cruel but famed line on hearing that Calvin Coolidge had died: "How can they tell?" If she were around to see this headline on a WSJ editorial ...

The belief that the Harris campaign talked a lot about cultural issues -- it objectively did not -- reflects its failure to properly contend with a tsunami of disinformation. But that doesn't imply that selling out the trans community is the way to go.

i have said this before but this is why it was and is important not to ignore the “NPC” language. these people really believe that other human beings are not real, with all the consequences that flow from this

Live your life in such a way that you are never the obvious inspiration for a villain on Law and Order, as Kerik once was (this was prior to his insurrection-friendly doings).

Please don't leak a Glenn Greenwald sex tape. It's immoral, a huge violation of privacy, but I also just don't want to see that. Thanks.

These spelling bee kids are usually so deliberate and careful; seeing someone miss a chance to win because he got overexcited and rushed his answer is so strange.

And people say Columbus has no local color.

Whaaaaaaat

I want to hear from the bettors who think the Rapture will come AND that Polymarket will still be paying out bets in the aftermath

People work so hard in life only to discover that they fucked up by not being white people who commit fraud

What a terrible name for a starship.

Retired to Florida and became a wingnut: a true son of Ohio.

This is exactly as much respect as the Supreme Court deserves.

I know a lot of people who played the game have issues with the show, but to me it feels like the producers were using the gamers' knowing where everything is eventually headed as an excuse to waste time now.
