It’s funny because if you asked “the government has been snatching people off the street, kidnapping them, stalling lawyers who represent them, renditioning them to foreign countries, and generally terrorizing innocent people; what do you do?” The answer would sound like rioting in the streets

this is really shocking, very plain evidence.

Thing is, Russians can stop dying in Ukraine at any point by just deciding not to be in Ukraine.

Feel like the better version of this is like “important to remember this whole Twitter billionaire fight started over whether they were going to take health care from 15 million or 30 million Americans.”

Gork, what countries have ketamine and no extradition treaty

"I was this pedophile's biggest supporter until he was personally mean to me" seems like a bit of an own goal.

@gork is this true

Oh, I’m sorry. Did your rational and logical economic system not account for what if two terminally online men had a falling out?

Regardless of which leopard eats the other leopard’s face I just hope both teams have fun out there.

This is a man who just wanted some free chicken wings and saw his moment.

Just think of the taxpayer savings from not having to scramble fighters to intercept Tu-95s in Alaskan airspace in the near future.

I need you all to see the hype video that this person made to sell their 1994 Geo Metro

I gotta get it off my chest. Im actually the guy doing all the tesla self driving. The safety record isn't great because im usually watching star trek but im trying my best ok

I've reported thousands of circumcisions since lunch.

I need to start a Quincy Institute version of the New York Times Pitchbot: "The U.S. Navy just destroyed four Japanese aircraft carriers at Midway. But that won't win the war, and it might lead to escalation by Japan."

Reminder as a cis straight person I don't consider it my place to label myself an ally, or to tell LGBTQ+ folks that they're safe with me. That's for others to decide based on my behaviors and actions. It's entirely possible there will be differing opinions; there's no single certification board.

I’m old enough to remember “Dick Cheney is a Robot!” And that level of stupid hacky nonsense is a whole lot less funny when it’s coming from a man who can order nuclear war than when it was on the cover of the Enquirer.

“either I personally or my unstable friend should be able to set your mother on fire if we think it’s right” is kind of a dealbreaker for a political movement. just imo.

I adore Mensah in #Murderbot . Noma Dumezweni is doing SUCH a fantastic job with her. One thing I particularly love is how she 1. has badass instincts 2. is not trained or prepared to be a badass at all 3. is scared as hell 4. works through panic 5. is a badass anyway.

If you know that the opposition is going to try to use your words to smear your movement you gotta be careful what you say to make that more difficult, not shout out the worst things you can think of and make it easy

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.
