Remember: every day is shut the fuck up Friday. You do not need to speak to law enforcement. you do not need to identify yourself to law enforcement. if the cops come to your house, if the cops come to your car, if the cops come to your protest, shut the fuck up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWEp...

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics

LMAO so quiet the only thing you hear is the squeaking tanks😂

Ich bin komplett überrascht, wer hätte damit rechnen können?

my current favorite TikTok account is this guy who tries to replicate women fitness influencers

Over the last decade, the US has grown into the world's biggest oil + gas exporter, and "begun to behave... more like a classic petrostate." Those tend to have "more autocratic governments, more belligerent foreign policies, and higher levels of corruption." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

"Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT CECILIA PAYNE:" #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM #History 1/8

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

One democrat has strapped up - and because we don’t like him we choose autocrathy. Newsom is not perfect. He is not even great. But he is all there is.

We need answers about what happened on Alderaan and assurances from the Empire that it won’t happen again.

Shireen is right.

They behave like this 6 months in. Imagine what they will do in 1, 2 or even 6 months time….

This is who we are. Above all he is someone’s son and he chose to protect us and to thank him is what we do. We don’t fight him and he doesn’t fight us.

For those of you watching what is going down and say, "This is not America," please sit down, as I have some unsettling news for you.

OH MY GOD, this Titan sub documentary has video of the cracking sounds when the hull separated in earlier dives that turned out to be delamination and … look, y’all, we reject helmets for delam at work, it’s the layers separating, if I heard that inside that submersible I would never stop screaming.

Statement from the Foreign Ministry of the Islamic Republic of Iran:

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

No one likes the idea of living through violent social upheaval but do you prefer the idea of spending the rest of your life with your head down? watching neighbors vanish? wondering who's next? I don't at a certain we owe ourselves and everyone who comes afterwards a tall glass of courage

Legit emotional over Rick Moranis coming out of retirement for a #Spaceballs sequel. Holy shit

People have complained about no one standing up, and now that Newsom is, they attack him. I understand his flaws, but we need to coalesce behind someone on the frontline. We need to unite, and he's our best option right now.

So cool

‘Suspicion of failure to disperse.’ I mean come on at that point why even bother pretending there’s a reason for the arrest, just write down ‘because I said so’ and get on with it.

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

Sen. Alex Padilla was just removed from Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles (video: Bill Melugin/Fox News)

Vorhin gehört, dass weltweit bis 2027 über 30% der Hilfsgelder eingespart werden sollen. Das sind über 30 Milliarden Euro für die nötigste Hilfe weltweit! Ein Großteil wird von dem orangenen Faschisten gestrichen. Wir sind dabei einen weltweiten Massenmord an den Schwächsten zu begehen. Brutal

I told you we’d be back

I like how people are pretending like he has put some great thought into Javert vs Veljean as some deep philosophical exercise and chosen not to comment on sides as an ideological position when in fact he has no clue whatsoever who any of these people are

Calvin & Hobbes is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic strips of all time and I feel like we STILL underrate it.

BALDWIN: What is the authority that the administration is using to deploy active duty Marines to California neighborhoods? HEGSETH: The president has constitutional authority BALDWIN: Cite the provision of the Constitution HEGSETH: I'd have to pull up the specific provision

“.. Jesus, that ear. He should donate it to the Smithsonian. .. He made all his records with four tracks, but you couldn't make his records if you had a hundred tracks today.” - Bob Dylan, on Brian Wilson #RIP “Good Vibrations” (1966)

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

if you read the way people in the US talk about Lee you'll think he's Võ Nguyên Giáp, then you look at his actual record and the best comp for it is the New York Jets

Oh.

Seth gets it

Es sollten sich generell wieder viel mehr Leute schämen.
