I love weird stuff: fantasy, horror, and science fiction movies, shows, novels, and stories. Except for politics. I like my politics to be sane.

In order to eliminate any inconvenience to cars, we’ve made it illegal for children to be children

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

Big balls showing up at work tomorrow:

once again I must tap my own sign

Eyyy my 'the betrayal of the whatnow' sword & sorcery story THE BETRAYAL OF THE RHINOCEROS (from @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social issue 3) gets a nice little shout-out in @locusmag.bsky.social -- reviewed alongside many other cool stories by Paula Guran! :D locusmag.com/2025/06/the-...

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

This feels like Alien vs Sexual Predator

CNN: Trump v Musk MSNBC: Trump v Musk Local News: Trump v Musk Random guy at Target: Trump v Musk Literally everyone in my text messages: Trump v Musk Fox: is a zebra a horse?

He really is the best

New piece! Media coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia hurt Trump, not Democrats. An actually data-driven analysis of some stale conventional wisdom. Alt title: Matt Yglesias is wrong about Democrats and Abrego Garcia🧵

I've been called a hoot funny way to pronounce hot but okay I guess

"josh hawley" sounds like something a guy in texas would say when he is surprised but doesnt want to curse in the lord's house

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

NYT, Page One: “Within hours, he had an email from China, offering to move his lab to ‘any city, any university I want,’ he said, with a guarantee of funding for the next 20 years.” @nytimes.com

Conservatives literally lost their minds over this too. It no doubt helped cost Gore Florida and the Presidency.

It’s weird that RFK types will invent hundreds of conspiracy theories but rarely are like “Americans would be healthier if we didn’t have to drive everywhere and could walk”. That’s the wild thinking you can’t divulge, walking, not that Bigfoot is behind it all.

The perfect bird feeder doesn't exi--

i don’t have a gender but if I did it can best be explained by this video

Uhhh

Trump: “Ukraine has no cards!” Ukraine <destroys 1/3rd of Russias bomber force> Trump: “”

Hillary was right about everything. They’re Deplorables. And I will take it a step further: they’re wannabe fascists. They don’t believe in the Constitution. They don’t believe in democracy. They would worship Hitler if he were alive.

Were they or weren’t they? According to CBS News, Washington wasn’t informed in advance by Ukraine about today’s operation, contrary to what Axios reports.

Apparently whoever is doing the vetting for MAGA purity before these nominations are made isn’t ever able to find any of this stuff out. I think this is around a dozen nominees who have lost their positions 2-3 months later. More bumbling incompetence on display to the world.

Next week's bestseller 😃

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics

Dear Members of the Press. P0TUS bragging that his tariffs are "already" bringing TRILLIONS of $$ into the US. Beyond the fact that it's not true, will you please ask him, "If that's so, then there's no need to even discuss cutting social services, medicine, education, air safety, etc etc. Right?"

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.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

If this is even remotely accurate, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have killed more people in several months than the Iraq war killed in a decade

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

song of the summer 2k25 youtu.be/6QX57aIDbDU?...

I can't wait for Marco Rubio to add this anecdote to his standard story about how his family fled Cuba to find freedom in the USA.

Oh

All those old guard conservatives who incrementally moved closer and closer to MAGA are now members of a party that worships a draft dodger, hates NATO, loves Putin, started a trade war, passed record deficits, pardons criminals who beat cops, and hates the Federalist Society.

New York has a higher per-capita income, a lower crime rate and a functional insurance system.

the 1% are the actual drain on society, if they really want to play it like that. exploitation of labor for gross personal wealth, we pay a large percentage of our income in taxes and they do not, etc

Q: A NOTUS investigation found the MAHA commission report cites studies that appear to not exist. Does the WH have confidence in the info coming from HHS? LEAVITT: Yes. I understand there were some formatting issues but it does not negate the substance Q: Did they use AI? L: I can't speak to that

WAPO: “.. Trump initially said it was Qatar that reached out and offered him the luxury jet free of charge. In fact, it was the Trump administration that first approached Qatar this winter about acquiring the plane ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Raise your hand if this has happened to you 🙋‍♂️

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys
