“Does the US President’s social media post mean people should evacuate Tehran in a serious, bombs-are-imminent sort of way or a silly, he’ll forget about it in the morning sort of way?” is an insane, nightmarish situation to be in

marginal vs average tax rates, explained (all you need is a bunch of min/max no sweat):

unlike you losers who spend your entire lives reading a million books, i simply absorb the sum of human knowledge on a subject in three paragraphs

cookers

Imma gonna have to go back and research more about Lettice Bryan - b/c she has recipes for LOBSTER SOUP & Clam Soup in her Kentucky Housewife cookbook Published in 1839. Where were Kentuckians getting lobster in 1839. Who was she writing this book for?

It’s so funny how every time one of these guys ruins their life doing violence for the fascist cause all their heroes are like “actually he’s a trans communist and a federal agent.”

And the logic is going to be "I dunno man we've already paid for it and people click on it" 🤷 That's it. It's that banal.

Despite recent advances, AI will never be powerful enough to overcome my internal self-criticism.

My absolute favourite footage from any No Kings protest yesterday comes out of Atlanta - when a brass band showed up to drown out a Proud Boys confrontation by playing the Italian Antifa protest song, Bella Ciao. The song, the girl dancing with the flag, the proud boys that clapped - chefs kiss 🤌🏼

Weapons of mass BOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPP

These would be beautiful names for a girl 💜

"No kings present company excluded!"

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Millions

Robocop (1987)

This genuinely feels like an episode of later-season Person of Interest. (Now that I think of it, decent chance Jim Caviezel is actually one of the seventeen people who appear to be in attendance :-/)

Brexit (Breton exit)

politically motivated shootings. ICE raids and peaceful protests against them being quashed by militarized police. a military parade that cost $45 million. i'm honestly surprised the protests weren't far, far bigger.

And it turns out that the Minnesota assassin's private security company is called "Praetorian Guard Security" in case everything was still too subtle.

Once a day I put on peaceful videos of the forest for my cat. Occasionally a bird flies by and chirps, but it's otherwise dead silence. Every one of those videos is louder than this clip.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

literally this

a great newspaper has never been destroyed from within faster

I couldn't resist and watched a few clips. However the Bragg speech made me feel, this did the opposite. That is not the show you put on to intimidate the American public.

Amateurs talk tactics. Professionals talk kerning.
