I'll write a better one of these later, if I remember. In the meantime: I'm a Knicks fan, an FFXIV casual, and a HoloLive dabbler. He/they

Bannon has a bit of a "I can't afford to sue all of you if you call it a Nazi salute" half heartedness to it that Musk's didn't.

GIRL(26): What is your stance on Crystals ME (94): I have never devolpeed a stance on Crystals. I am more interested in food & entertainment

Farage and Truss speaking from the same CPAC stage where Nazi salutes are given…? No words… for British politicians to spout their tripe, denigrating our country like this is extraordinary. Not seen since Haw Haw…

The US Secretary of Agriculture thinks "biodiversity" is a DEI initiative. Here's all you need to understand American politics right now: 1. Think of the stupidest person in your life. 2. That person's in charge, now. 3. But they got stupider. 4. And it means people will get sick and die.

Elements within Israel's gov't “itching” to return to war on Gaza in an effort to "eliminate" Hamas, even though that goal is “not really attainable”, says Colin Clarke, from the New York-based Soufan Center think tank. 🟥 Read analysis: aje.io/fjrsiw

Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu has called for an 'intensive operation' in the occupied West Bank following empty bus explosions. Israeli forces have already been carrying out a weeks-long, large-scale attack on the territory. 🔴 LIVE updates ⤵️

Without providing any evidence, Israel’s former far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has linked explosions on empty buses in Tel Aviv to the Gaza ceasefire. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/3gafli

Democrats love polls. They shouldn’t. But they do. Okay, listen to the fucking polls and defend our government!

Lex Luthor was an evil president and yet his Cabinet was a billion times more qualified than Trumps

Canon that Lex Luthor handed over control of Lexcorp when he ran for president @daveweigel.bsky.social

"We're doing everything we can" "This is no time for business as usual" Oh shit, it's 4AM, can we just do voice votes instead of roll calls? I'm sleepy as hell. No, I only have one amendment, sorry my staff didn't have time to draft 3,500 fresh ones for us to all vote on for the next eight weeks.

Let’s drive the polls even lower. Tell your low information friends how the mail is going to suck, that grocery prices are rising, that national parks are at risk, that air travel is more dangerous. Hang every failure around the Musk/Trump regimes necks.

i just typed in yellow jacket (local bar) to the parish (local venue) in on google, because i wanted to know how far apart those two places are, and instead google decided that was an aphorism and gave me an entirely fake definition of it i actually felt secondhand embarrassment for the computer

I am very sad to say that I would have said this is a straight line from exactly what the signals were online, and nobody was listening to the whole cohort of folks shouting about this for about 10 years straight while having their lives ruined for mentioning it

Why is this so hard for news orgs? www.status.news/p/cbs-evenin...

“By refusing to call figures like Patel what they are, the press is failing its duty to inform the public-and, frankly, it is enabling the further erosion of democratic norms.”

Complete list of all players in the NBA this season with more than 100 assists, more than 50 made three-pointers and 30 or fewer turnovers: Deuce McBride -- end of list --

The Trump-Musk assault on disability rights is monstrous on its own but also the start of a wider assault on other vulnerable populations. Pay attention.

Julia Azari: .… what’s missing is a movement that really defines all of these things and brings them together and talks about how, for example, pardoning January 6 people has broader policy implications in some ways, that lawlessness leads to poor policy outcomes or to things that people don’t like.

Most 40-point games as a teenager in NBA history: 1. LeBron James (3) 2. Anthony Edwards (2) Most 40-point games as a 40-year-old in NBA history: 1. LeBron James (2) 2. Michael Jordan (1) #AppreciateGreatness

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

Standing up to the authoritarian wave requires more than cheerleading for democracy; it demands making democratic societies more participatory, responsive, and adaptable at all levels, from local to national, in response to the societal shifts driven by the Internet over the past 15 years.

I fucked up someone’s pronouns yesterday (no excuse, I fucked up) and a poster kindly reminded me of the correct ones. Listen. You can correct me on that anytime. Correct me on my birthday. Correct me on my deathbed. Because despite what terrible people say, your identity MATTERS.

We also have a ton more statues for the guys who shot the confederates. They’re the good guys!

Where are all my “this will escalate into tit-for-tat” normies pundits?

I’ve been following American politics closely for over 30 years now and usually it is just dumb. What did Kerry, Clinton and Biden get for voting for the Iraq War? Nothing. They were just dumb and wrong on that vote. Same with Dems voting for Trump nominees. Dumb and wrong (and naive).

Just as a reminder, Kash Patel rose to prominence by making a lot of confused and incorrect claims about the FISA warrant on Carter Page, but since the OIG probe ended up uncovering a bunch of totally different serious problems with that warrant, the right decided he was a genius.

sure, mitch mcconnell cynically masterminded the plot to destroy the US constitution and american democracy, but you have to at least credit him with lifting up his own constituents in Kentucky to make it one of our richest and most prosperous... (touching earpiece) wait I'm getting new information

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.
