I don't know if prior to the election I would have predicted that Trump's open parroting of Russian propaganda would be so blatant or total. Even the Russians themselves seem surprised at just how faithfully he repeats their rhetoric. Who needs spies when you can just brainwash the US president?

The flood of people talking about how much better China is than the US because their addiction is being taken away from them is the best possible argument for getting rid of TikTok.

Never a good sign when New Years reminds you of the opening scene from Children of Men.

I can see why Gaetz spent tens of thousands of dollars on sex, the quotes in this report suggest he did not have the organic rizz.

You have to give conservatives some kind of credit for maintaining the cognitive dissonance to claim moral superiority while enthusiastically putting thieves, rapists, and perverts into some of the highest positions of power in the world.

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor. Party of Family Values, am I right?

Can someone explain how MAGAts are able to simultaneously believe in so many diametrically opposed conspiracy theories? How was COVID-19 a Chinese bioweapon that leaked from a lab, but also supposedly harmless at the same time?

The richest man on earth just killed one of the only instances in which the US government is still forced to function like a liberal democracy. Congress is now governed in large part by one crazy oligarch’s tweets. This is why I am still committed to Bluesky, despite its many shortcomings.

Well, that made me emotional. I'm living in my childhood dream of superhero movies left and right, and I haven't cared about a single one in years. Not because they're for kids (most of them aren't even that)-because they're artless cash grabs. Please don't screw it up this time.

I support the Democrats, but we ignore their deep problems at our peril. Democrats have somehow remained utterly divorced from reality nearly a decade after 2016 should have woken them up. The self-own of keeping Biden in the race for so long is an inexcusable failure of party leadership.

just experienced this IRL trying to explain to a journalist the extent to which he could trust an online contact about a news event, and why “so like yes he trolls people and has esoteric right-wing views and is edgy and etc but no, he’s telling the truth here”

Never forget that Ben Shapiro himself once called this a catastrophe on par with 9/11.
