Admittedly I didn’t watch but Roki giving up 1 run through 5 (not bad!) and the final score being THIS is objectively hilarious

He has big granddad energy.

One President wildly exceeded his authority by forgiving some student loans; a different President barely scratched the surface of his authority by disappearing anyone he pleases without trial to a foreign gulag. Constitutional law is a serious intellectual enterprise.

happy ten year anniversary to this post

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

the left has been saying "hey this all ends in us being renditioned to black sites without due process" since bush II at the latest and the consistent and overwhelming response from liberals has been "shut the fuck up and remove your tinfoil hat you child"

Russia‘s war criminal, Putin strikes a church on Palm Sunday. I thought Trump was going to end the war on day one. Monsters. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

They actually took away his Medicaid?!

Just wanted to share some woke shit from the «Magnus Lagabøtes landslov» an ~800 year old Norwegian law. «It is understandable that someone who cannot find work to support themselves steals food, and in that way saves their life from hunger, then they should not be punished for that theft.»

I no longer believe a popular front can work. Alliances are fickle. Factions are too full of themselves to recognize workable compromise. At least, not under our present election system. 1/2

I'm very grateful for the two people who helped me last night. The last donation was 6 hrs ago. Will need to start planning Easter dinner soon and visit the homeless family in the tent on the corner to say hi and see how many they are so I'll know how much food to make, what to get the kids, etc. 💕💸

Here it is: Republicans told us in Project 2025 that they’d eliminate Head Start.  Now, they’re doing it.  Their concern for high costs, for kids, for parents — all lies. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

Dear Fucking Worm Brain: THERE IS NO AUTISM EPIDEMIC. "The main reason we are finding more autism is simple: Clinicians are getting better at spotting what was always there."

What good is a party that doesn’t expel a man trying to remove women’s right to vote? All you dipped in blue bullshit vote blue no matter who khive fucking assclowns answer me that.

Who gives a shit dogg this is America, home of the Olive Garden: if you’re here, you’re family.

Because they actually NEED tax breaks.

They're not republicans. They're actually Tories. They get on a GOP ballot line then only call themselves "Conservative" in their campaigns. It's wild.

And you can't reason with someone foolish enough to give all their choices to someone else.

Eight people in South Sudan, including five children, died on a three-hour walk to seek medical treatment for cholera after US aid cuts forced local health services to close, the UK-based charity Save the Children said reut.rs/3E9kB27

A lot of these outlets essentially print press releases verbatim. Technocratic liberals perpetually lose the framing fight because they think their job is to deliver facts and let the media interpret. That would be nice, but mostly the media repeats the framings they're fed. And the GOP feeds.

Criminalization is the primary way through which fascism advances its agenda — which is why we have to interrupt criminalization.

If you have little kids, now is a good time to make sure you have a spare bottle of fever reducer for them. You don't know what a nailbiter it is running out and finding none on the shelves, until one day you do.

Modern journalism's instinct/desire/strategy to lazily accept and pass on, without further interrogation, the nonsense counterfactual framing of whoever is acting in the worst faith, is a huge part of why we are here.

I just cannot believe that people use breast cancer of all things as an example of why you should treat trans women - people who have breasts and experience breast cancer like cis women - as men Just so overwhelmingly ignorant and ridiculous. The weakest possible argument

Anyone in the DC area, flagging this:

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.
