This is like a gag from Arrested Development

Another pro wrestler with better politics and a more clearly articulated moral stance than 99.9% of elected officials

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

If ICE were acting entirely within the law and maintaining good conditions in all its facilities, they would not be turning Congresspeople away. But they clearly aren't. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/n...

Dem senator: Please, protestors, there are better ways to oppose the president Voters: Like not voting for his nominees? Dem senator: haha no no no. No. What I mean is we are writing a rap

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Chew on bark and whisper to the Gods is really fucking good if he didn't steal that or have it written for him I gotta say

🧵 1/9 It could have mattered. Nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds deprived of oxygen should have chastened the world to become allies, and not just for a summer. A man being murdered by those who should protect and serve should have been an indelible metaphor.

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”

It’s really hard to take seriously any effort to normalize the parts of AI that might be useful when it’s being used as a cudgel by corrupt fascists to destroy art, science, healthcare, the indigent, and the macroeconomy. How can we accept the “good” parts of a system when we see what it’s used for?

Metal as fuck

BREAKING: Days after a Louisiana judge ruled that the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil can proceed, thousands are holding an emergency Passover Seder at the ICE headquarters in New York City, saying: If you come for one, you face us all.

In these uncertain times, one thing never fails: watching cartoons where the Road Runner is very horny.

One of the most surprising things that the Trump experience has shown pretty conclusively is that hit men aren’t real.

Man the list of people I’d pay to watch get torn apart in the street just scrolled to a second screen, that ain’t good

A debate over “do people deserve due process before being detained and shipped overseas” is like something depicted in the opening scenes of a near-future dystopia film in order to let the audience know that the movie world is far removed from the world they live in.

the scene from Ghost but with packing a bowl instead of pottery

It occurred to me that QAA has been using Signal to communicate with hosts, guests, and journalists for years, with zero leaked conversations so far. Which means a podcast that has a recurring segment called "Jake Stories" has tighter OPSEC than the Pentagon.

Masked agents grabbing a woman off the street because of her political views. America must stand up and stop this before it is too late.

Paul Verhoeven is one of the only filmmakers to correctly predict how fucking stupid and tacky modern American fascism would be.

I can't remember the last time I saw an article just focus on this. Not that they've bent the truth or misrepresented a few facts a little, but that every single solitary thing that the GOP says on the topic is a stone cold lie with absolutely no basis in reality. ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Sen. Tommy Tuberville: "When it comes to protesters, we got to make sure we treat all of them the same: Send them to jail...Free speech is great, but hateful, hate, free speech is not what we need in these universities" thehill.com/homenews/sen...

This meme continues undefeated.

Cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is the most fundamental building block of the GOP. How anyone ever believed otherwise is baffling.

The average Democrats all have this thing where subconsciously they want the ghost of Ronald Reagan to be proud of them.

I would note that this message is full of (a) kitchen table issues and (b) both rhetorical and material moderation and people love it because it is clear, mobilizing and oppositional this is what the national Dems just don't get

So tired of having to think about the goddamned president all the time. The president should have to think about me all the time. I should think about my job or anime or whatever I want.

If you’re gay or trans, just know I love you. And if anyone tries to give you grief, tell them GalactaPug says “fuck you”

I just hope this erodes the idiotic, ahistorical notion that the GOP is better on the economy.

ay lmao
