When this movie was first released, I thought this bit was a little too on the nose. I’ve come to appreciate it a lot more ever since.

People make excuses for this, but there's an extraordinary lack of civic virtue in this country.

The Presidency's aura of authority is so diminished by this President that we're seeing Governors bite into Trump on live television

Hitler, who I do not support, never would have embraced genocide, which I also do not support, if the Weimar shitlibs hadn't tried so hard to deplatform him. by Glenn Greenwald

Takes a special kind of idiot to work for the IRS, see the businessman with a history of fraud who already wrecked shit last time, and think that he'd be some sort of precision instrument and touch only the exact inefficiencies you think exist

I should have loved freedom, I believe, at all times, but in the time in which we live I am ready to worship it. — alexis de tocqueville

Important to recognize that breaking public orgs in lasting ways is the point. Definitely not efficiency. Making many things less efficient. Definitely not savings. Vast majority of taxpayers are losing out, not gaining. Destruction to facilitate oligarchical power, and should be covered as such.

People it seems want little or no immigration, prices to fall and little investment in infrastructure especially if it is near their property. In conclusion, what people want is a permanent recession.

Watching the 4 Nations final and it seems surreal that not a single one of the anchors or announcers has dared to mention the reeking orange gorilla in the room and how the president’s insults to Canada have tainted any win the USA might obtain. Go Canada.

I wish upon them only the most tainted cocaine

get his ass

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

Depends, will he get the chance to do a ride-along on a Russian warship? Fingers crossed

Movies you've watched more than six times, gifs only

Over on LinkedIn, the head of the Executive Secretariat of the NIH -- a central part of NIH leadership 🧪🩺-- resigned with a lettter worth reading www.linkedin.com/posts/nathan...

40% of the military budget going to be stripped away to line the pockets of sexual deviant and his personal gimps so some alcoholic wife beater can pose for some power lifting shots.

Yeah, I think I'm joining the Canadian Layfayette Brigade when the war starts. Yeah. I'm doing it.

Canada is extremely eager to prove this wrong

Canucks in the goddamn trees

Genuinely incredible piece of reporting here that makes the story completely unimpeachable. They sat in the back of an immigration courtroom and watched the guy pull out his personal phone and post to his racist account DURING the hearing!

Mom: "We have Agent 47 at home"

Of course he’s a Private Pyle looking mother fucker.

Goddamn it, Trump's going to make me do Revolutionary War memes

[leftist affect]: we must protect the very racist canada by making it our 51st state

In rare good news for the fight against global fascism

This brings to mind what Churchill said about Satan.

Re: Ukraine. It's so hard to remain hopeful, the only thing powering me through this is the fact that my Ukrainian friends and millions of others in Ukraine right now have yet to give up. They continue to resist and fight for every inch.

I'm officially on the side of "shitcan Jeffries" HE IS GETTING A PASS ON CORRUPTION IN EXCHANGE FOR POLITICAL FAVORS FOR THE ENEMY, YOU DUMB FUCK

It's really that stupid, huh?

When it’s over, there will be attempts to spin an epic narrative about this. Realist IR theorists will come up with some balance of power BS, the media will try to make it some kind of operatic tragedy, etc. Resist this. It was stupid and pathetic and senseless. Don’t let them gaslight you.

My anger and anxiety are just spiraling man, this is so bad

What you can do with those partnerships

Nothing raises anxiety like a nuclear "own-goal"

It’s safe to say there is a major continuity between the politics of the tech oligarchs and the fundamentals currently driving the software industry; that is to say, they are in search of infinite free rent at the expense of everyone else, up to and including the very people who make it possible.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

it is just grotesque how many Americans totally take for granted what good fortune it has been to have incredibly good relations with a rich power neighbor sharing the worlds longest land border
