The word means what it’s always meant. It has a dictionary definition, it’s not like a metaphor that goes stale from overuse. If people aren’t reacting to fascism the way they should it’s not for lack of a punchy enough label, it’s because they don’t care

It’s official. Arkansas beats Kansas and Kansas remains “Kan-saw,” following up on Arkansas’ wins in the 2022 Liberty Bowl and 2023 NCAA Tournament. Two more wins in a row and it becomes permanent

"The way I was taught is, if your family were immigrants to this country and came for a better life, the price you pay for that is you can never say that 'no one else is welcome.' That is what America was built on," said the Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey.

*Tim Cook takes long draw on cigarette* "To care about money - this is for the common man. The artist - he cares about soul"

to be clear, this is what mass deportation looks like: going after parents, grandparents, neighbors, workers, people building (or who have built) American lives who have done more to enrich their communities than any person serving in this monstrous administration

At this point, I’m almost afraid to voice satirical ideas for this administration because speaking them seems to will them into existence.

One vibeshift we’re going to see in the coming years is in media, for every complex well reasoned villain we’re to get 200 villains whose whole deal is just killing puppies

Ironically, the primary political impact of this on the ground insofar as it can be said to have had one, was to strengthen the hand of Netanyahu.

Particularly for Christian students starting religious studies: The character of "Satan," a single malevolent entity, doesn't appear in Hebrew Bible, because that concept didn't exist in the near east until at least a century after the Septuagint translation into Greek.

No one thinks this and anyone who clicks that link should have their head examined

One article about a non-white soldier who won the Medal of Honor being deleted by the DoD is plausibly a mistake made by someone not paying attention. Every article about non-white soldiers being taken down and labeled as “DEI” is transparent racism and bigotry.

After all, politics journalism is where those too stupid to hack it in sports journalism go

There are self-described left wingers on this site who still refer to Joe Biden with seething contempt and assume the problem with his Presidency is he shilled to conservatives and didn't do anything progressive. These people value nothing more than preserving their own toxic delusions.

I’m always delighted when I encounter someone who shares my loathing for this book. It’s torture porn with a teenage girl’s fetishised view of gay men, and a bizarre lack of anchoring in time and place (80s-00s NY with no mention of the AIDS crisis, 9/11 or the financial crash?).

yeah. if you're on here complaining about Biden being a "neoliberal" you've defined yourself out of serious political conversation, because his domestic policy was the polar opposite of neoliberalism.

They are honestly lost in the online sauce, a barely competent press person would not even get close to saying this.

DC Metro police is still being cagey. But based on their new statement their role in evicting the staff of the US Institute of Peace considerably worse than I'd suspected. Ed Martin's office intervened, told MPD the staff were intruders and they went with that. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/more-...

As the act of including something in the set you define as "cops" requires policing boundaries, by definition, ACAB includes people who seriously make posts about ACAB including any group. Have fun!

It is this all the way down, the idea that if you just rip the right wiring out of the wall in the command center of the cathedral everything will fall your way.

I feel like the New Yorker’s output is “edifying-yet-accessible sociopolitical + cultural analysis and reporting for the urbane left-liberal, only its film critics are pretentious gasbags”

Which means that going all in on that while bad, is a colossal waste of time for the admin and Congress. Which is why even GOP Senators like Kennedy are against it.

Median film tweeter: • I want to bully nerds • I also want to be considered Smart • I, under no circumstances, want to be considered “a nerd”

“Runs faster than time, thinks the John Birch Society makes some compelling points” low-key the most terrifying character concept in history.

“Voted Reagan, buds with Castro, racist uncle, Asian wife,” Wally West truly is The Median Voter Incarnate.
