Farewell, Quinn. There was nobody like you.
His son cooper hoffman is starring in a Stephen king adaption coming out the month and it kinda sounds promising ?
Nah Seymour Hoffman had the perfect glasses to play his dad
I know media literacy is at an all-time low, but some people are getting paid for spewing nonsense like this. Please... if you only read one classic this year, MAKE SURE IT'S FRANKENSTEIN!
The one ethical use of that AI voice changer tech is to make Meryl say “get in the damn EVA, Shinji.”
Okay but shinji gets to have an ian Curtis haircut
another reason why Ben Smith has always been trash, that whole article he did about Ronan Farrow in 2020 in the NYT pissed me a lot about him, that was one of the most petty, egotistical pieces I've seen in my life borne out of pure grievance
I like that this is cowboy bebop font? We need more Meryl Streep in anime
Okay he's gotta smell like shit or something given the expressions on background people's faces. Maybe it's mercury. Maybe it's formaldehyde mixing with partly-digested Big Mac. Maybe he just said "brains" in his godawful voice.
We use beyer over here
cant wait to move to DMV and buy my next car at Big Bill Hell's, home of Challenge Pissing
Aw hell 💐
What’s the red hat? I gotta find a cool sports cap but I dunno what that would be

The owner of the nearby pho joint is a Texas Vietnamese guy and is in turbo-cope mode about the Parsons trade. The NFL is back, bayyyybeeee
@jasoncheathawks.bsky.social I have a question : how many football. Teams did Los Angeles have in the 80s and why do some cities have multiple teams cos it seems wacky

imagine choosing to sephiroth post about a guy who is unlikely to win his own state’s primary, a state which is one of the largest in the entire primary electorate
if/when newsom runs, he will do so of his own volition, with his own donors and supporters, this ominous intonation of “liberals” implies a command and control structure that simply does not exist in american politics and *definitely* does not exist on the left of center spectrum
He’s got eyes like a character on Oz
I gotta tell you, Larry Sabato is someone I have admired and respected for a long, long time. .....and I'm really disappointed in his framing of a few things since November. Add this to the list.
it's cool that Jacobin either publishes really interesting stuff and totally horrendous readings of intellectual history
To be queer in America is to have to listen to allegedly smart people insisting that you wanting rights is “elitist” and people who want you not to are better Americans than you.
Honestly, I think a lot of politicians on both sides of the Atlantic got psyoped into viewing salt of the earth bigots as more authentic and worthy than them and thinking therefore they must ritually cleanse their sin of education by rolling in the gutter.
My sincere answer to that is sometimes a leader has a moral responsibility to lead and while it is entirely possible and indeed quite likely voters will punish you electorally for trying, there are times when you still have an obligation to try.
Yeah I also don’t want this dude as a leader Hence the uk political crisis currentlu

Oh i rented the cd if this a lot in college It’s a good autumn listen
It’s needed a new editor for a long time Honestly
Pro-tip: if you’re an editor at a comics company — any size! — don’t “play around” with generative AI. We know you know artists, and given your position, you can likely get them to make whatever you want at a price you can afford. No one should need to explain to you what an awful look this is.
Man seeing the outrage posters who hate Dems post "actually Axios and Politico do good journalism" is very funny
Corbyn’s disappointing Starmer is terrible I guess the lib dems should form a coalition with the greens
To borrow from a friend of mine, whose account I can't find right now: it's like listening to a lecture on feline behavior that starts with the assertion that cats are a type of citron. It doesn't matter if the rest of the lecture is broadly-right, that claim alone is so wrong it poisons the lot.
No, Ordinary Things, I do not find it particularly persuasive that somehow me having to pick up my telephone and speak to a clerk at the Pizza Hut to have my food chauffeured to me instead of doing it by text has a meaningful difference in the creation of apathy and antisocial tendencies.
Again Post 2002Blair is generally bad
I hope no one’s tummy hurts and no shits their pants
And yes I meant to write connor mcgreggor-
Thanks mister🎩
When he was my rep he was pretty closely linked to J Street and was also a major player in helping Obama get the JCPOA through Congress. So, none of this surprises me, he's always been this good but doesn't seem to seek the spotlight for kicks.
Japanese mayonnaise and miracle whip taste very good together on a baloney sandwich (I hope the gif is not Connie mcgeegor)
wait so we're bonding with conservatives by comparing something that happened when Trump was president to something that happened when Trump was president
At least Fetterman had a stroke he can blame it on. Dunno what the excuse is for the rest of them.
Schatz is very much the front runner for senate majority leader after Schumer retires and he has very clearly cooked his brain on twitter
Detectives should not be cops, cops should not be swat, humans should not do 90% of traffic enforcement, cops should not be the guy required to sign my insurance claim etc etc
Who’s this leffen boy character?
Collective self-determination is a basic human right.

I mean 1950s political foreign policy theory almost never holds up , let’s be honest
Yeeesh When did he go neo con?
Homicide detectives are a net good for society
“Agent of the government empowered to use violence in its name to enforce its laws” is a pretty old invention, actually. This is what I’m talking about, this is just like magical thinking: you need *someone* to maintain and exercise the state’s monopoly on force. It’s literally unavoidable, sorry!
I saw dozens of people on here like a post saying it was good that two cops were murdered while trying to serve someone with an arrest warrant for sex crime and child abuse offenses. Why? 'Because ACAB'. Personally, I like the state having people who detain sex pests and child abusers.
Happy Labor Day 🙂
I thought we liked Jimmy carter? Cos he appointed Huntington
Giving acknowledgment to Trump & his voters any legitimacy is a path to losing. Pritzker has the right idea. Stop ceding ground. When they die of measles, stop talking about how covid mitigation made voters lost trust in public health, blame RFK and Trump and say you did this to yourselves. 2/2

On this Labor Day, as we face a federal regime that’s declared war on working people — dismantling unions, destroying jobs, empowering & cutting taxes for the largest corporations in the world — let’s recommit to fighting for workers, the people who actually make our country run.
As always, my catastrophising about Britain should be understood as it being difficult to disentangle my feelings about the UK’s future (bad, but salvageable) with my feelings about my own future in the UK as a trans woman (get out get out get out)
Thank you for those who got the joke

i cannot think of a show i’d like to listen to less than two airhead russian call girls ramble about politics
do people actually listen to red scare?
I’m prepared to go public with my core political belief that anybody who can explain at least two of “Gaylors” “the name of Joe Rogan’s producer” and “Cum Town” should be barred from holding office or any senior managerial position in military or civil service
They were way worse! They’re the quintessential example of what I think a lot of people mean when they say they dont want any cops. What they really seem to want is a clean slate of social anarchy in which to compete and reorder, and if you happen to get cops out of that and they’re worse, who cares
CHOP reinvented police brutality from first principles in like a week.
the spread of the belief that there are no good individual cops has been actively counterproductive here. it also doesn’t help that all of the “no more cops” takes are usually “we should have much more brutally repressive cops but they’ll target my enemies” takes in disguise
Look dude I say this is a gun violence prevention activist and former civilian investigator. I executed inspection warrants, cited chuds for $1 million, and served papers like property liens for years, completely unarmed Guns are a problem, but the jobs are not as dangerous as cops make it seem
Break the police unions, put departments more fully under civilian control, make it easier to fire cops who misbehave, both to get the worst out and the provide an incentive to act better, and then perhaps require cops to have college degrees like we do with other professions, like teachers.
Law Enforcement being a culturally chud profession is actually a huge problem in the near (surviving this admin & reasserting rule of law after) & long term (the actual governance problem of enforcing liberal laws) & solutions that aren’t “we should simply not have cops” are in pretty short supply
I think, as Layla said, the failure of liberals over the last ten years has largely been failing to actually believe in liberalism. But I *also* believe the failure of the left has been in rejecting the principles of liberalism.
As someone who loved CVH before it was cool, I am curious to see how this shakes out from him — in particular, whether people want the affect of a firebreather (which he doesn’t have) or want the substantive policy commitments (which he does). He makes for a very interesting test in that regard.
Chris Van Hollen is interesting because he makes a center-left case for Palestine. He argues for Palestinian rights not on leftist but on liberal grounds. It is highly philosophically coherent to do that, and yet few politicians do.
As long as the uk green leader isn’t the hypno boob guy who supports Russia , we are good? Sorta
Guys you better get ready for the cisplainers to come back because Corbyn has finally broken his silence and written a couple of platitudes on trans rights now Even though he literally has a transphobe as the party secretary and is more than happy to hug and welcome him with open arms
Does Gordon brown count as new labour?
Ohh
Jeremy Corbyn spending a suspicious amount of time working closely with bigots, is it?
This is insightful and lovely
ah we’re still sidestepping the nomination of a far right conspiracy theorist, well sure there’s still plenty of time for Claire Byrne to read out some Gemma tweets to during the TV debates!
I dunno why she is incapable of “yeah , in hindsight regret that and should have done more due diligence and have learned from it” etc etc
Better late than never I suppose! Whatever she actually believes from a purely strategic pov she could've helped herself a lot by just admitting this and nominating GO’D etc were mistakes rather than spending weeks doubling down and acting like every question is a personal insult.
He's a living socialist caricature of what a centrist politician is like. The usually over the top ultra lefty cynicism is basically just correct.
The whole starmer strategy just seems to be cosying up to far right voters who will never like him and aren't even a majority while throwing endless dirt in the face of Labour's centre / centre-left base that got him elected.
I can't imagine a single racist flag shagger is being won over with this plastic nationalism at the cost of making centrists and leftists more and more uncomfortable.
Maybe the sharpest thorns were the friends they made along the way
Explain
happy labor day
"So now the raw aluminum is trapped inside the Alesia, Michigan plant but they have like 250,000 more rods coming. So what does Trump do? You're not gonna believe this - he builds a second aluminum tariff”
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
He got piled on. I wasn't looking to pile-on but this specific skeet bothered me because as a journalist, it was strategic. He couldn't say "asking for space from black people and risking the rights they got this lifetime" because that's what he's doing.
So working for a ceasefire that Trump and Netanyahu were openly sabotaging got ignored. Kamala Harris repeatedly speaking about the "dignity" and "self-determination" of the Palestinians got ignored. And b/c protestors didn't get 2 minutes, they actively supported fascism here and damned Gaza. Smart
Sorry, but wtaf? This does absolutely nothing but ensure that even more people, including children, have to use irregular crossings, and blocks people who even this government have recognised are refugees from being with their families. This is utterly sickening from Labour. 1/
That’s really dumb logic The best pauly shore role is in a goofy movie
Yup. From the "imagine if Schumer said this" files...
