briefly logged back into twitter and immediately encountered one of the greatest ads of all time

I'm a one-issue voter, and this is that issue. I want to lose $100k every month on something called Groincoin or $hart, and I don't want the fucking GOVERNMENT telling me I can't. Also I have injured 100% of my body in interactions with hot dog rollers at 7/11. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/b...

You’re a lawyer, harry 🥲

there is no better future for this country in which we don't become the Land of A Thousand Nurembergs

though, on the other end of the spectrum, i think that the rise of Trump rallies as a mode of in-person engagement for some of the worst, most atomized people in America is underrated as an important driver of his success

two things are true: this lady was deeply mislead by a legacy media industry that has failed as badly as it possibly could and she is also very dumb and could easily have known better. sorry shit's fucked up but if you want to be free you gotta do some research of your own

low info Americans genuinely do not believe you when you tell them e.g. major government policy shifts are determined by which Presidential administration Supreme Court Justices die during. Why would they? It's not what the Constitution says and its an idiotic way for it to work.

ME: There’s no use in getting worked up about every individual, atomic thing. You need to take the long view and not get overwhelmed— THE NEWS: The guy in charge of diseases just passed a law saying everybody needs to get more diseases.

Kamala Harris won some twenty thousand more votes than Elissa Slotkin. Kamala Harris turned out the voters that put Elissa Slotkin over the line. Elissa Slotkin is a Senator because a bunch of people voted for Trump and didn’t bother to vote for other Republicans.

Fox News just said the U.S. doesn't have anything like China's Belt and Road Initiative, which is hilarious. We did. It was called USAID.

huh i wonder why the trump administration lied about releasing the full epstein files

*extremely south african accent* The State Department was wasting $1 trillion on something called "The American imperialism and economic coercion project (woke)." This has been canceled

I know she saw this claim on TikTok but its worth noting that if you read only mainstream news you probably would've also come away with the impression that Project 2025 was fake and that Trump would make IVF free.

"hey so we fired the people who do maybe the hardest single job in modern civilization and absolutely cannot be replaced because there are never ever enough of them is there some way we can just string an LLM together to compensate"

"will not withdraw as stipulated in the ceasefire" in normal people words this is "Israeli official declares that Israel will violate the ceasefire"

I really hate to be right here but yeah they're laying people off to fund unprofitable, unsustainable generative AI www.wheresyoured.at/subprimeai/

in Legends ZA instead of sandwiches or curry you will be able to gather ingredients and roll a variety of cigarettes for your Pokémon to smoke

thank you. yes i prefer this new healthy alternative, french fries fried in troughs of beef fat

this is the stupidest fucking way to criticize elon musk holy SHIT

Elon Musk: people are falsely claiming DOGE can cancel federal contracts. Also Elon Musk:

Quite the message from the guy running our government

KNOBS AND CRANKS KNOBS AND CRANKS

the ongoing new lavender scare has been hard for me to grapple with. if you are transgender do not get caught doing anything illegal and do not say anything anywhere that the state would want to prosecute you over. genuinely, be careful and prepare however you can

grummz absolutely wrote this about himself, the levels of self suck are out of this world

donald trump saw the Qanon conspiracy theories and thought they were aspirational ideas

Faculty conspiring to get their students deported should be fired immediately, with no recourse. Intentionally harming students is so completely antithetical to the role of professor that I almost don’t want to believe this is happening (though I know better)

wait wait wait. you’re telling me ELON MUSK has never actually been to space? not even once? mr. “i will die on mars” was too busy billionaire cringeposting for a quick pop up? what happened, buddy? couldn’t find a rocket? allergic to moon dust? what’s going on there

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

this is largely just a difference in framing but imo the thing that destroys fascists constantly is that almost none of them can accurately judge risk. Franco was a huge exception. he actually was very intelligent and savvy. not common traits among his kind.

Bring back the "OHhohohohoho~!" vain girls

esoteric fascism is easily the most embarrassing fascism. oh was hitler magic?? grow up

Pedro Pascal responding to transphobia on social media: “I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.” (via @charliejane.bsky.social) [capitalfm.com]

I’ve told this story before. But a few years back my daughter was invited to a birthday party of a fellow preschool kid who had a trans parent. They were both very matter of fact. “Hey Mike, welcome. beers in the bucket, hot dogs on the table, kids can go play in the bouncy house”

another thing i learned this weekend, that comes up again and again in these testimonies, is that people in immigration cases don't have a right to an attorney

said this before and i wasn't exaggerating: RFK has the exact personality type of the kind of person that, in a different sort of regime, oversees mass starvation.

People still: Look, we can't read history through a contemporary lens. There wasn't a consensus that slavery was wrong. Every 18th c. pamphlet: How can they do this? Are we SLAVES? In SLAVERY? The worst things you can be? Are they gonna put us IN CHAINS? Like in SLAVERY? Which is EVIL? Like SLAV-

lmao shit is so fucked up

Romanian authorities this morning arrested pro-Kremlin presidential candidate Călin Georgescu. Officials found $10m in cash and plane tickets to Moscow at the home of one of his bodyguards. This is the man that JD Vance and Elon Musk claim is being treated unfairly by Romanian and EU authorities.

Favorable framing like this paying dividends with the big man, as always

how do you even ENGINEER a scenario where your camera picks up dick-shaped ultraviolet patterning that isn't visible to the naked eye. just, his deep, deep confusion when he sees it on the preview, turns around, and it's not there. perfect. i would be exactly this lost

Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters *right now* that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington. Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.

Discuss. (fun additional facts: she’s the first female governor of NY. also is not a Republican)

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

my magnum opus, really
