I thought the lack of response to school shootings in the US, unlike the UK & Australia, was because of the adoration of the Second Amendment & the glorification of gun culture, ultimately rooted in the US's tumultuous history. Seeing this, though: maybe it's just that the US hates children?

If a Democrat takes Musk money I won't vote for them, it's that simple. Nope fuck you sorry done.

Honestly the best encapsulation of centrism is that “if we get that person everyone hates to support us we will be popular”

Saw Ratt in 1985 and the opening act was some dudes from New Jersey named Bon Jovi. They blew the doors off the place (quite the feat given it was at an outdoor venue).

A thing the pro wrestling metaphors too often miss is that pro wrestling is dumb

I’ve been hanging onto these images for literally years waiting for the the right moment to post them and it’s safe to say that day is finally here

all of this, on the holiest of days no less.

I’m enjoying this as much as anyone, but seems very likely they do some big show of squashing the beef within, like, a week.

Bluesky right now:

If maga leaves Twitter, I vote we bring back invite only. Lock the door. Don’t let the weirdos in. Send them to threads.

Hey gang, take it from a comms professional: THE TIME TO PUBLISH THAT BAD NEWS IS NOW NOW NOW

Thank you for the stern scolding but it’s actually possible to both enjoy two malignant rich fucks viciously falling out and understand it doesn’t fix every problem immediately.

once again I must tap my own sign

This strikes me as the most likely outcome, probably after Musk realizes what a hostile federal government would mean to all of his very-exposed-on-government-contracts-and-subsidies companies. But who knows?

Ernst’s “we’re all going to die” comment wasn’t a gaffe — which is why she is refusing to apologize. It’s part of the larger Christian right war on empathy. www.salon.com/2025/06/04/j...

whenever you see somebody use the phrase "purity test" to describe having ethics and morals it's a big 'ole red flag also Dems should be shaping opinion with good policy and leadership, not following more dodgy brunchlord consultants down the majority appeasement rabbit hole

need to stop looking at these as Vance doesnt even know history and understand them as Vance perfectly understands history and also understands that the algos need content like this that can be used to deny and lie about history via the misinformation economy his party runs. This is info warfare

I don't know who needs to hear this, but doing ketamine, shrooms, and ecstacy on a daily basis while wielding immense political power and a security clearance is bad on multiple levels, and saying so doesn't stigmatize reasonable uses of these drugs or get Musk off the hook for his behavior.

So many problems could ameliorate if democrats just committed to treating enemies like enemies.

The thing about the contrarian-industrial complex on Twitter and Substack is that nearly all of them have worked in newsrooms with solid standards for publication alongside actual reporters who did dogged, important work, and at some point they just said to themselves, “I’d rather haze rape victims”

Time to post it again.

This is really the perfect use of generative AI: to create a report whose purpose is solely to exist as A Report, which no one is supposed to read because no one involved in its creation even pretends to have the slightest genuine interest in the actual facts at issue.

Bad news: I believe Elon may have forgotten to mail us our $5000 DOGE checks before he left the government

Yesterday, I saw Musk's biographer Walter Isaacson wheeled out for a TV interview under the chyron "Musk: Back to Business" and it really feels like the media is entirely happy to go along with a concerted PR effort to increase Musk's finances by downplaying what he did to your government.

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

Reminder that million-dollar Democratic consultants want to spend billions of dollars to attract that 27%. For some reason. (The reason is money.)

This seat is open because asshole Democrats in the Senate wouldn’t confirm Biden’s pick for the 3rd Circuit because Biden’s pick was Muslim and did pro bono work for Muslim clients.

a dealbreaker for democratic candidates - for me - is anyone who says we need to turn the page on trump. we did it with reagan, bush, nixon, bush ii and trump's first term. and we got fuck all for it. dont turn the page. stare at what these assholes did and burn it into your skulls forever.
