Here, have some shameless rumor mongering about the Avs thednvr.com/what-hearing...

I think I said the word "sloppy" at least 10 times in this piece. You should go count to double check thednvr.com/sloppy-avala...

This is so devastating because it's absolutely true theonion.com/homesick-luk...

arguably removing Jack Daniels from Canadian liquor stores is the substantial humanitarian gesture

Kinda rude how everyone dies

GOT HIS ASS HOLY SHIIIT

i don't know how to prove this in an academic sense but I've always believed a major reason the U.S. survived the first age of fascism is that we'd created Hollywood a little earlier and all our most charming narcissists had something better to do than politics

RIP king

"Almost 3 million visitors generated $206 million in revenue for local communities in 2023" A good reminder this isn't about efficiency or saving money. It's about shattering our public heritage and common wealth. story by @adrianaperez.bsky.social www.chicagotribune.com/2025/03/01/n...

Kids Bop was bullshit. They never did any Sufjan

The jerk store called. They voted 11-3 to unionize! Everyone welcome Jerks Local 217

No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”

scores of pissed off Mormon CIA agents who just got canned are ideologically cross-pollinating with platoons of fired trans FBI agents. we are on the verge of new types of politics our ancestors could only dream about

respectability is a weapon that was made to be wielded unequally

I will read people's takes / articles / arguments about po-faced regretful Trump voters but in my heart I believe the same thing about them as what I said to my mom when I found out she voted for Trump: you failed the moral test of your lifetime and you aren't a serious person

No, this is the most ashamed you've felt as an American *so far*.

AOL warned us of the dangers of logging on. It would play for us the screams of the damned. But we didn’t listen. We didn’t listen.

O/C making that good shit

We have seen two impeachment worthy stories break today alone. Incredible levels of corruption and lawlessness. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Amazing that the same book has been used by priests and nuns to explain their moral imperative to die protecting socialists being hunted by CIA backed militias and also by dudes in McMansions who think the creator of the universe considers it a priority to beat neurodivergent 8 year olds

What we’re losing: “High levels of trust used to be one of our superpowers in the US: specifically, that meant trust in our government to operate with reasonable competence & stability and without the kind of corruption that’s hobbled other societies.” [kottke.org]

1/The news that additional private attorneys may have their security clearances revoked, as I did, without any due process, simply because they represented someone the President doesn't like is a disgraceful affront to the entire legal and national security system. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

This is the medicaid cuts vote. I see people on the TL openly wondering if this vote will result in their death. They didn't seem to be joking. Note, this isn't the final vote. There'll be at least one more House floor vote and then the Senate gets a crack. But this tells us how Rs *intend* to vote

Wow those nonconfrontational savvy behind-the-scenes negotiations to address the White House blackballing the AP really paid off huh

Hail to the thief. We're entering a golden age for scammers and financial predators, with two of the biggest in the world running things now.

Guess I’m going to jail

social media needs to be regulated and treated very much like we currently treat drugs. that's long term. in the immediate term? focus on the 75% of men who aren't voting for fascists. you will have more luck reaching and organizing them than deradicalizing Andrew Tate fans.
