watching my entire political project fail while the most repulsive people on earth loot the treasury and collapse the state because americans had to pay $1 more for hamburgers for the brief period of time when inequality actually shrunk.
The story of the twenty-first century, in every country regardless of wealth or political system, is the story of the zones of interest established around terrorists and refugees, where the rule of law was intentionally weaker, growing to encompass all peoples and ideas deemed foreign.

The Trump administration in a nutshell (from www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...)
beautiful
it is genuinely wild that Trump’s top domestic policy guy is basically a monarchist who has all but written that he thinks Trump should rule as a dictator

RIP CBS News
gifs work!!
gifs work?
among other weird things (the sheer # of no true bills from dc grand juries, plus the fact that judges are ordering prosecutors to disclose those refusals to defendants, which I'd never heard of before) ... I have never seen a prosecutor attack a grand jury like this www.cbsnews.com/news/d-c-gra...
kathy hochul shows how with a credible enough primary threat, subpar politicians can find their ball knowledge

i get why he took the netflix deal (it was a lot of money) but don't spend the next five years complaining about the sandwich you made
eighty million is still eighty million but it is seventy million less than one hundred and fifty million, which is more of a "sacrifice" than some have made to preserve movie theaters (jian rohnson)
robbie turning down 150 million to sell "wuthering heights" to netflix (settling for $80MM from warner) because she wanted a theatrical release means i must see the film in theaters regardless of her mediocre friend adapting it
cutting the film to "wind & wuthering"
Brucey B back in our threads 😤
margot robbie's post-"barbie" blank check being producing an adaptation of "wuthering heights" where she's playing a teenager opposite nate euphoria shows that hollywood is still the dream factory of the world
in-person school is real-time combat. online school is turn-based combat.

Boiling milk before use was just what you did. They had dedicated cookware for it. (Specially shaped to contain boil-overs, which milk is really prone to.) Household hygiene had SERIOUSLY high stakes back before hot running water & pasteurization. That's… like… why they taught home economics.
the reason the mainstream media holds up a fake version of the trump administration that's making good faith efforts to address crime or boost manufacturing or whatever is because telling the truth about how people like loomer have power there would be toxically damaging to trump

It's very upsetting that closest thing to a responsible and level-headed leader of a nuclear power is Emmanuel Macron
Cuomo running as a Trump Democrat in the NYC mayoral race is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in politics.
I'm all-in on it
Thinking about the Kawhi Leonard story and the relationship TB12 had with the Patriots for no particular reason. Man it's so cool that Brady took less to play for the team!
Most African Americans have been in the US longer than most white Americans of european descent. And of course there were always Native Americans here and many of the founding texts were influenced by their presence. The US has never been a white country.
i kinda wonder what the 2028 democratic primary debates will look like when israel/palestine inevitably comes up because the democratic candidate for NYC mayor tying their opponent to the israeli PM as an effective negative attack on a wine mom podcast would've been inconceivable just years ago
eating a bowl of alexanders in alexandria
thing about this clippers story is the other owners already don't like balmer's tactics (cba was a response to that) where he just spends a lot because he's richer than every other owner combined. they'll want blood if there is even the smallest fire causing this smoke.
Think of the reaction if, say, China executed a dozen Americans in a boat near Aruba and said, 'They had drugs, trust us,' and you'll get an idea of why that's not a thing you can do under international law
Trump isn't just defunding firefighting, he's kidnapping the firefighters
toddler just came by and asked if we had any candy. sorry kid, but i do have some green beans.
boy I dunno, 77 is on the young side. and does she even have terminal cancer?

him not being on the 75th anniversary team was a real screw job
really need one of the three to croak to scare the other two
great point on benches/dugouts clearing. baseball fights are cute. basketball ones are also cute but sometimes a player actually means it (team goons and 3x MVP nikola jokić) and they get scary.
this is so messed up lol what is going on in that clubhouse
the three "great powers" are all ruled by old men trying to cheat death. don't tell me fairy tales aren't useful for understanding politics.

can't believe ballmer saw my shitposts and decided to go for it
hello i am steve ballmer i am about to be in hell

This is legitimately insane in the like “Tsar taking advice from Siberian mystic” sense
I would be too embarrased to admit this is how I felt
Carla Leite, how did you do this? #Valkyries #WNBA
dick saying this verbatim at a post-season media availability
I'm absolutely fascinated by the idea that it's the AI component of this that makes it disrespectful
SO YOU THINK I'M A TOUGH KID? IS THAT WHAT YOU HEARD?
I think it's a genuinely catastrophic thing that the most influential members of the American political press spend their free time on a site where views like this are amplified and promoted as a matter of policy, and naturally coming away believing on some level that this is the prevailing view
“Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this Continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”
The US as a political entity is older than Italy, Germany, Poland and a bunch of other European countries.
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the vice chair of the Intelligence Committee, says he was denied a meeting with career intelligence workers because Laura Loomer objected.
donald what the fuck are you on about
American white supremacists have been looking for the button that turns off wokeness for no less than 168 years
The truth is there really isn’t a “anti-war” constituency in America in so far as their ability to force political change. For the vast majority of the public, war is just that thing that happens over yonder that doesn’t bother them in their day to day lives so why would the care?
It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.
the basic argument of these guys is that lincoln was wrong, douglass was wrong, jefferson was wrong.
there is a way in which this is even an explicit repudiation of the constitution itself, created not to pass some european idea of "nationhood" down to posterity, but to pass *republican self-government* down to posterity.
if they were making a claim about historical origins the logic would push towards the inclusion of blacks, natives and other peoples on the north american continent. but schmitt is fundamentally making a racial claim.
oh dear god
it's trite to say but this is plain contrary to all of this country's mythology from its beginning to its present, and we will only have a future if this gets suppressed and purged
remember though the democrats are all bloodthirsty imperialists while the republicans are post-intervention peaceniks
The dirty little secret is there has been zero American casualties and thus the public doesn’t care and won’t punish Trump politically
you could fall in love again
I do think it’s important to understand the more esoteric political threads in natconism but frankly this sounds no different from George Wallace.
Shohei hits a homer off Chandler at 120 MPH, gets hilarious reactions from everybody involved.
Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.
we literally blew up a fucking dingy with missile. dawg.
This is a sobering--and depressing statistic. Sizable layoffs in the federal government are likely contributing to the increase in unemployment among Black college graduates. www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...
"the united states became more interventionist post 1947" is, uh, a debatable point lol
I think a lot about The Coward Merrick Garland wringing his hands for 18 months about whether to get Trump, while a jury of normal ass people convicted him of 34 felonies

CONGRATS TO THE MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS FOR THE LONGEST NON-SCORING DRIVE OF THE WEEK. They drained the remaining 9 minutes and 45 seconds in the game with a 16 play, 58 yard drive to seal the 23-10 win over Buffalo.
i think this comes down to medium, where we think with our ears and eyes first. more visceral compared to written word. religious stories give a good example of this as well where the "preacher"/"teacher" shapes attendees knowledge of text even if that knowledge deviates from text.
review contains an interesting point here that adaptations can become large enough they supersede source material to dominate understanding of the "work" — see "frankenstein" (film to book) or "the wizard of oz" (film to book, and then a second time with "wicked" both ways)

i don't think being on a site that gives anti-Black racism 20k likes is good for the soul
Dan Campbell says again how much he loves playing at Lambeau Field: Love Lambeau. It’s awesome. That’s one of those places, on the eighth day the good Lord made Lambeau

these people need to log off. seriously. bluesky this, bluesky that, how about you look at some actual blue skies and get off the internet for ten minutes
very funny to talk about how Dems need to be normal and appeal to normal voters and to phrase this as a complaint about the microblogging site you don't like
worth noting: you always die from rabies. there is no not dying from rabies
whenever anyone spills water on their pants, they think "oh no everyone will think i soiled myself!" we need to investigate this thought. which happens more often — someone spilling water or soiling themselves? this is an irrational thought.
I know there’s a lot of funny things here but the best for me is Belichick losing to carnival-ass Air Raid goof Sonny Dykes
