I remember when the war started people were shocked that Zelensky, once a crossdressing comedian, would stand up to Putin, a muscle-bound big game hunter, but it will always take more strength to defy masculinity than abide by it

It's all a fucking game to these people.

It’s so gross to watch libs act like the Gaza genocide was a hurricane or some arbitrary phenomenon out of Biden’s control. We woke up every morning for almost two years learning another child didn’t have limbs anymore. Democrats canceled UNRWA a year before Trump axed USAID. This was a choice.

Shopping at one-stop Amazon has been so convenient, allowing me to boycott dozens of small businesses at once.

I don't see why any of them should show up for this farce. Go hold events in your districts and talk to actual people. Nobody needs to watch them scowling and shaking their heads somberly on tv

ah yes, the strong, masculine, non-emotional leadership we've all heard so much about

Guess we are doing this again. We’re not gonna abandon the red states we’re gonna build solidarity with the citizens inside the rightwing autocratic core.

Democrats can and should be much more openly contemptuous. They owe terrorists nothing and they should treat Nazis like Nazis. But it’s true that almost none of these appeasers could pull it off.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

A beautiful game. Well worth the money.

Detroit close it out 🙏

The Republican budget plan: -Cut SNAP by $230 billion -Cut Medicaid by $880 billion -Give $1.1 trillion to the top 1%

Keep in mind that "free markets" to men like Bezos means "the freedom to exploit" and "personal liberty" means "my liberty to personally amass unchecked wealth."

this is a damn good way of putting the James Carville phenomenon in perspective

They want to salt the earth under our history. Or at least sell it off to the highest bidder to salt the earth.

Reporter: If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would you say? Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Fuck off.

There is no call for this. It's the latest elevation of the habitual disrespect the city shows for its own residents and for the open spirit of Carnival itself. All in the interest of placating the wildly misplaced fears of tourism profiteers. www.nola.com/entertainmen...

Newsletter: There is no AI Revolution. Consumer adoption of generative AI outside of ChatGPT is barely 100 million people, every single company in generative AI is deeply unprofitable, Microsoft is pulling capex, and OpenAI spent $9bn in 2024 to lose $5bn. www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-m...

Ukraine resolution at the UN called Russia an aggressor and demands the full withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders. The United States, Israel, and Russia voted against it. Every free democratic country around the globe voted in favour. #EndImpunity

YOU - I am a detective. INSULINDIAN PHASMID - So am I. I was born to detect sucrose rewards and semiochemicals. What were you born to detect? YOU - I was born to detect you.

David Graeber on austerity.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

There is absolutely no need to seek out better versions of inherently violent positions, classes, and institutions.

Chinese HSR is amazing

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

I’m judging a speech and debate competition for the first time, and the Lincoln Douglas debate style is atrocious. These people talk so fucking fast that I can barely understand them.

I BOUGHT A NEW INK CARTRIDGE FOR MY PRINTER TODAY!

In a feat of impeccable timing, the wonderful editors at the Lewis & Clark Law Review have finished their work on my article, "Is Originalism Bullshit?" The final version is now online at SSRN: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

We can’t call a Nazi salute a “gesture”

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

3 Louisiana districts

Stealing the infrastructure we paid for. They're treating blue states and cities like we're conquered territory to be plundered.

Humanity created a massive tool for social control and placed it in the hands of the worst people possible techcrunch.com/2025/02/19/s...

If your line of thinking is 1) something is deeply unpopular 2) because of vile propaganda 3) we should let the vile propaganda continue and not say anything 4) ???? 5) things will be better There is simply a mistake somewhere in that line of thinking

"Would you support or oppose a bill prohibiting ads for sportsbooks during live events, require limits on deposits betters can make, and ban the use of AI by sportsbooks?" Support: 63% Oppose: 16% Siena / Jan 11, 2025 / n=3047

"Online sports betting will end up creating compulsive gamblers that will cause pain to them and their families" Agree: 65% Disagree: 22% Siena / Jan 11, 2025 / n=3047

he. is. not. popular.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

I'm making the point that Tr*mp is actually UNPOPULAR and if there were an ACTUAL opposition party [which some of you argued with me in my mentions for 2 days & cried when I said there is no opposition party in the U.S.] he would be even more unpopular.

Refusing to take the man at his word is ridiculous. I've never understood it and frankly this is a white person thing.
