Why do Paul Rudd dirty like that?
That’s so fucking obnoxious. Do you think that without men women would be free of suffering? Of sadness, of loss, of pain? Do you think men are the cause & source of the universal human condition? A blanket blaming of men for every problem women face is just dimwitted virtue signaling. Be better.
Yes, but Netanyahu is allied with trump and maga, not Schiff. The Israeli people themselves have had huge protests against Netanyahu. Just a couple weeks ago. Demonstrations to the powerless people sympathetic to your side does nothing. Go to a republican’s office.
My favorite from the best musician of her generation. Sublime. Listening to Court and Spark now... but Hejira is on another level for me.
They shouldn't walk out. They should stay and keep doing their jobs. Force RFK to fire them.
Online everything is a dead end People can post their rants all day long & psychologically they will feel they took action & did something, but it all exists in a meaningless bubble It's all lost is the endless ocean of the infinite scroll. It's gone almost as soon as we post it Like this post...
That's not honest discourse. Explain why it's art and not just vapid pop. Ad hominem attacks when someone doesn't agree with your assessment and asks you to support your argument is intellectual slovenliness. If she's brilliant or a genius then explain why, because I and others don't see it.
It seems you don’t do honest discourse lol.
The corporate liability shield is problematic in the age of climate change, social media, and AI. Finding a way to hold decision makers responsible without stifling innovation might be difficult, but we’ve swung WAAAAAY too far in the direction of protecting C suite decision makers.
That’s a false equivalence. It has nothing to do with sexism. Her lyrics are self absorbed navel gazing. They’re not profound, deep, or offer any viewpoint beyond her own. The criticism has nothing to do with gender. Plenty of people in this thread have mentioned the genius of Joni Mitchell.
They don’t understand economics. Her tour didn’t add 5B to the US economy. That money was already there. It just shifted where that 5B went. It didn’t actually create anything. It just moved money around.
Explain why that name dropping excerpt is meaningful or profound in any way at all. Where is the depth? What is the deeper meaning? What is there to study in that? It’s sounds like what an uneducated person thinks an educated person would say. Also, I agree with her conclusion.
“Her lyrics are studied at the world’s top universities, not because she’s famous, but because she’s brilliant” Oh please. I get liking a musician, but this level of glazing is absurd. Her lyrics are trite and shallow pop drivel. She’s no Bob Dylan. She does have multiple Grammys though 👍
Of course it has Texas plates…
We can. They can’t.
I’m not sure if you know this, but Canada isn’t a part of the United States. Maybe Bob Weir is available ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Neil is Canadian…
They often seem full of shit. This guy comes off as full of shit too, but honestly he mostly seems mentally ill. Like legitimately not well. He’s not ok in a deep and fundamental way.
Spoiler alert: Bruce Willis is a ghost
Relevant context: He has repeatedly and habitually said “I’m thinking of/People are saying I could just _________” before doing the blatantly illegal and/or unconstitutional _________. He does it to habituate you to that reality and lessen the shock of it when it happens It’s not a hypothetical.

3 days at most until FOX will be characterizing it as huge success that showed trumps strength and dominance.
How the fuck can people think trump is a "master" of optics and messaging when Putin makes him wait on the tarmac? And he unthinkingly plays his part in the theatre Putin creates. Standing and watching like a child eagerly waiting for daddy to come home from work.
That's not an elevation of Putin. It's a direct reflection of the degradation of the US presidency.
Where are all the Francophiles?
Is she still banging Musk?
I gotta admit, in that photo she looks prettier than ever. Yeah… I know…pictures lie. But maybe it’s a sign of health. I wish her well.
I had no idea he’s that old. He won’t go on any raids. Maybe he’ll go try and recruit kids at local high schools or do media events, but he’s not going to do any physical work. This is clearly just maga theatre. Like that time trump was “shot”.
I said the same thing. The only valid “both sides” thing in our world is that both Hamas and Netanyahu are a problem and are an active obstacle to peace.
Serious question: why doesn’t ICE grab Pete Hegseth? He is literally covered in known and verified gang tattoos. This is 100% accurate.
Since the director of Al Jazeera in Gaza liked and followed, I should add the same applies to Hamas. The Israeli people are not served by Netanyahu, the Palestinian people are not served by Hamas. Both are an obstacle to peace.
“Who knows what they did?” Trump knows. He was there. Ask him…
Billionaires really are detached from reality. I suppose posting on BS is better than space tourism though.
“The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. You were elected fair and square(ish).” Fixed
Seems to me that if you’re opposed to a two state solution, you’re just arguing about which side suffers a genocide That being said, 80 yrs ago doesn’t matter because TODAY Netanyahu is very bad man doing very bad things. His actions are a huge problem There will be no peace there until he is gone
North Carolina still hasn’t received FEMA funds approved when Biden was still president. I don’t think we do FEMA anymore.
Fighting for “truth, justice, and the American way” is a direct rebuke to the current administration.
It’s the NYT. They’re delusional, their deepest concern is protecting their access, and they’re actively normalizing what’s very definitely NOT normal. Next week there will be a story about how we could maybe be approaching what might be a possible constitutional crisis.

“We have NEVER talked about environmental exposure that may cause cancer” (the stress on never is his) Well… we’ve talked about it and we’ve either regulated or banned it. Cigarette smoke? Asbestos? Trichlorethelene? Red dye no. 3? He’s an idiot. So I guess he’s the perfect MAGA bureaucrat.
One guys vest says police, one says ATF, one says border patrol, one says DEA. And they get into random vehicles. Someone should look up those license plate numbers. I’ll put money on them being registered to private citizens. This seems like deputized militia, not govt agents.
Boomers in this thread are losing their minds and screaming “that’s agism” That’s just wild lol So in ‘67 the issue was “the ‘man’ discriminates against young people” and in 2025 it’s “they discriminate against old people”? Must have been hard to spend all those years being a victim.
“Just a year away” Kind of like Tesla full self driving…
You can’t just be happy with “yay, he came back”? You need to create a fictional story about him never wanting to leave? Why?
And that circumstance was that he wanted out of Portland…
It’s been very clear for a long time that Matt is a Putin apologist and Putin asset. He wrote a book about his time as a young journalist in Russia full of his sexual bad behavior. He now claims it’s “fiction”. He didn’t in the past. I’m certain Putin has loads of Kompromat on him.
Trump used to say he didn’t take corporate money Spoiler alert: he did. Also, you never told us who you actually are. You’re just saying you’re not the “corporate money” guy…
“I worked behind a desk, I didn’t know!”
He literally forced his way out…
As distressing as it was for Trump to be Putin’s puppet, it’s more frightening when they’re enemies. Trump is stuck in the 1980s, has dementia, is petty and vindictive, has zero empathy, is a sociopath, and has surrounded himself with toadies who won’t get in the way of him using nukes.
Current generations are predicted to have a shorter lifespan than their parents will or did. So… he’s wrong.
This is why the left hates the Democrat establishment I want him gone. I don’t care if it’s because he cheats at golf… I want him gone They need to beat this Epstein drum loudly because it’s the only thing getting traction with his base. Her “kitchen table issues” are what they say they voted for
I never had any doubt that Trump is in the Epstein files…
None of this is about ideology. All of the Putin loyalists in the Republican Party and media are mad at trump. All of trump loyalists in the Republican Party and media are now supporters of Ukraine. That’s it. There’s nothing deeper than that.
Christianity has been a political party for many many centuries. The catholic church led by "celibate" popes with lots of children, who took a vow of poverty yet lived like kings, who sold indulgences to wealthy sinners, was a political party that ruled Europe for centuries.
Fuck the trump enabling and assisting NYT.
I get it. I once saw Jesus in the burn marks of my toast.
That will never happen. She's pressuring trump to pardon her. And he will. He is all about self protection. You can expect her pardon to be issued within months, if not weeks. And then he'll blame Biden, Clinton, or Obama.
I live in a state with no professional sports teams. I guess I'm just screwed if we have a natural disaster...
It hasn't even been 6 months. We've reached the "circle the wagons" phase waaay sooner than I expected.
Not if the goal you want to accomplish is being an edgelord…
Damn. I legit thought the “Epstein didn’t kill himself” thing was conspiracy theory craziness. I was sure it was just internet nonsense, but this ham fisted cover up is making me think there MUST be something there. I roll my eyes whenever I hear “this time we got him!” But this time…
And that’s a partial list. At BEST, he is obstructing justice to protect a pedo with strong circumstantial evidence he’s doing it to protect himself. Not only that, this is one thing getting traction among the MAGA crowd, who say “I voted for that” when you list all the things you hate about trump.
He has discussed pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell. There was a client list and address book that had been referenced many times in media and in court documents that trumps admin suddenly says doesn’t exist. One more…
You’re the problem. You’re a (I’m assuming unintentional) trump apologist. There’s a video deposition from a woman who trump raped when she was 13. He had a long friendship and much time spent socially with Epstein. 1/2
Let me get this straight. You want people to ignore trump raping little girls because we can get him on the emoluments clause? One of the dumbest takes heard in a while.
Clearly not an attorney. Testimony in legal filings from a woman who was 13 when trump raped her is evidence.
On the other hand, if we take him to court he will appeal his inevitable loss and the Supreme Court will legally and formally give him these powers. Because this is a fascist coup and the court is complicit.
They miscalculated this one. They can’t get their base in a heated froth about pedos and groomers going after their children and then just disappear the list of all the high level rich and powerful pedos who groom their children and claim that list never even existed.
AI is getting very sophisticated. I fear one day we’ll wake up to him no longer doing public appearances but still continuing to rouse the rabble in social media videos. For many decades to come.
Jesus told you to love your neighbor. trump tells you to hate your neighbor. He is literally an antichrist.
Idiocracy

I guess 2 out of 3 ain’t bad because he doesn’t dunk lobs.
“Emerging risk”? Seriously?
He’s not a great roller or finisher. In fact he’s kind of bad. He likes to shoot from 3-5 ft instead of dunking. But he’s better than Jaxon Hayes.
It’s also “possible” that we deal with climate change and avoid a climate apocalypse. We won’t… but it’s possible
It wasn’t. How do people say this in the age of Google? It literally wasn’t. The average age of the signers of the Declaration of Independence was 44. The average age of the signers of the Constitution was 45. The youngest was 26, the oldest was 81. Zero teenagers. Only a few 20 somethings.
George Washington was 44, John Addams was 40, John Hancock was 39, Samuel Adams was 54, Ben Franklin was 70… Of course, Alexander Hamilton was 21 and Aaron Burr was 20, but Hamilton got in a stupid dick measuring contest with Burr and Burr and ended up murdering him… so yeah.
I actually don’t think they could. They suffer from stunted development and they don’t have the competence to stop it. In short, they lack the skills to effectively govern. Chaos, pettiness, and reactiveness is the best they can do.
“Where does it come from?” Seriously??? It comes from the trump administration and right wing news outlets.
Meanwhile, hate arises in the hearts of anybody who encounters trump. It doesn’t matter what you think of him. In those who support him and in those who are against him hate arises. He makes hate grow in people’s hearts. I’m not sure if he gets the capital “A”, but that’s for sure an antichrist.
Normally I'd ignore what he says, but I have to acknowledge that his expertise lay in not knowing what the fuck he's doing, so I have to acknowledge that maybe this time he knows what he's talking about.
There’s a rumor going around, not verified, that ICE is using militias as bounty hunters. Of course that’s not legal, but it would explain the masks and lack of IDs.
This doesn’t raise questions. This isn’t “possibly” illegal. This isn’t a bad precedent. What you’re seeing is a lawless administration. 100%. Already. Fully. Completely. It’s here. It’s now. Not soon. Not tomorrow. Today. Right now. This is fascism. This is authoritarianism.
I don’t have a team lol. But you do. Suddenly right wing trolls love Bluesky. But I’m not going to waste my time engaging with racists and white nationalists online. And that’s what this administration is. That’s what you are. I love how easy is is to block people here. I’ll pray for you.
Thanks. I didn’t notice. I’m glad it wasn’t actually him. I like Cuban. He can seem a little “billionaire out of touch” on some topics, but he’s doing some very good things in healthcare.
False equivalence. I never knew their names. The only name I knew was Mohamed Atta, the ringleader. And I remembered that without googles help. You’re free to educate me. I’ll say thanks and move on. But inferring Obama is responsible for our current mess based on vague memories is nonsense.
I’m being trolled by a billionaire for disagreeing with him about AI on social media (and it’s not even psycho Elon Musk who is trolling). What a world lol.
Look it up? You’re stating these things as if they’re solid facts at your fingertips, but apparently it’s only vague memories you have about when you were angry about something 20 years ago. Really? I’m going to dismiss your assertion as just more internet noise. I’m sure you understand why.
What was the name of the program and what token modifications did he do?
He has no power. He gave it up (as ex presidents should). He’s retired now. Stop looking for a savior. Nobody is coming to save us. This is up to us. What are YOU doing??
That was Bush, selling surplus from his wars to local law enforcement.
“China isn’t using AI to make funny cat videos. They’re using it to build a surveillance state so powerful that it’s tough to comprehend.” This quote alone is enough for me to say fuck AI. I will not facilitate a surveillance state by living in fear of others “getting ahead of us”. HARD no.
Responding to their talking points is how they continue to control the narrative. Stop it. Ignore their bullshit. They are about white nationalism and transferring wealth to the 1%. That’s it. Thats what you need to discuss. The rest is bullshit. Don’t engage with their bullshit.
It’s his TV game show host bullshit. “Tune in to our July 4th extravaganza to see who wins and loses” He wants you afraid and angry so he can lead you around by your nose. That’s literally his goal. He wants you triggered. You win if you keep your center. You win if you remember love. Let’s win.
It’s believable, but it’s also a pretty extreme accusation. Do you have a source for this?
New leaders? What?!?!? The Democrats have leaders?
He wants people waiting for his verdict and hanging on his every word just like the heady days when he had a TV show where he fired people. I’m changing the channel.
