The broligarchs are pretentious, but in fact they're uncultured oafs who have risen to power far beyond their abilities.

the first sentence of Elon's obituary should be that he was one of the greatest mass murderers in the history of humanity this is his legacy

Lunchtime: an example of how you can make smørrebrød (Danish open sandwiches) without fish, meat, or cheese. If you replace the butter and mayo with vegan alternatives, this is completely vegan.

Bodacious Space Pirates was the most wonderfully inconsequential but entertaining anime of its time. It was light-hearted fluff, but worth watching, and it's a shame that it seems to have drifted into complete obscurity.

“The Columbia footage that we subpoenaed conclusively proves that Mahmoud never attempted to run from the ICE agents, that the government lied once again, & that there was no valid reason for the arrest of a US permanent resident and human rights defender” - Ramzi Kassem to @premthakker.bsky.social

I agree with John Roberts that our schools should do more to explain how much of today’s crisis stems from outrageous rulings by courts like his.

Sounds really bad, when you put it that way* *list some basic facts about what the regime is doing. A consistent problem of the Trump era, amplified since January 20: A factual overview makes you sound “partisan” - which is why the mainstream discourse incentivizes us to constantly sanitize.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

Sickeningly unhinged dictatorship lies.

Ross Asshat is up to his usual bullshit.

Carry on using the right toilets. And remind your friends and family voting in the local elections next week that this is Labour's policy and Labour extended the term of the bigot running the EHRC.

There is absolutely zero reason to cave to Trump, as we’ve seen from Columbia his administration will absolutely go back on its word. The only way to stay safe to protect your institution is to stay loud stay visible and stay engaged.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

This week's comic: Veneer of Normalcy

The startling thing about this is that 26% of Americans are *for* sending innocent people from other countries to hell prison in El Salvador for no reason other than they are in America and they don't like that

i need people to understand "death of the author" means the author can't dictate what you take away from the text, not that you're not complicit in what they do with the profit they make from you buying it in the first place

Fuck JK and Fuck the UK Supreme Court.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

I hope I live to see Stephen Miller handcuffed in a dock at The Hague
