Wicked center-part on CPR Jesus
Every year I can't wait for fall to come, when I can once again enjoy wiping my butt with the scent that reminds me of the thousands of Malaccans who were slaughtered by Europeans so that they could bring nutmeg, mace and cloves to their colonial slave plantations.
Choking up at a press conference because one of your own committed a crime and you really thought "we don't do that here". All the power of the state in the hands of people with the minds of small children.
Well it got her this far.
Putting aside the xenophobic Cold War bullshit, it is true that this country's devotion to unregulated capitalism is preventing us from meeting the moment. We let petrochemical companies externalize their costs and handcuff renewable energy providers while China is building the future.
Just hilarious that someone asked him how he's holding up, as if he's capable of caring about other people. He can't even pretend for more than five minutes.
This was beautiful, thank you. "...because something precious is something loved, not something perfect." Indeed! 😭
Lol there are times when translations actually reduce comprehension

Know Your Meme site getting slammed right now
So is it obvious yet that every politician who supports Israel and claims to also support a two-state solution is simply lying? Likud and its right-wing allies have been repeatedly voted into office for decades. Every Israeli knows what they stand for. And so does every foreign politician.
We'll all go out in a blaze of glory
You just know Che's having a sardonic chuckle over that in his tiny little coffin
But Radley he led so many souls to Christ
Night nurse Only you alone can quench this here thirst My night nurse Oh the pain is getting worse
But then it wouldn't have been hilarious
Thank you, this was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
Not sure what you're subskeeting then but sorry you're not having fun.
I don't know what you're seeing but my feed is full of people being angry and determined and yes joyful, not defeatist. Maybe you mean the centrists who are bemoaning the collapse of cherished norms, which they just noticed because it now threatens people like them?
The senate is already extremely undemocratic. When you add the supermajority convention it makes it as authoritarian as any dictatorship. And only the Democrats treat it as a requirement, which really makes you wonder.
Here is Jamal from Gaza. All I'm trying to do is rebuild my family's life. I'm trying to do what I can. We lost everything. Literally everything. Hand in hand we can rebuild my family. Nothing is impossible when we all work together. chuffed.org/project/1389...
A genuine hero, gone way too soon.
I once tried lighting my path with the embers of Hell but I ended up just getting some solar lights from Lowes, much simpler to install.
The TPUSA Professor Watchlist is extremely important to highlight as a key piece of the authoritarian anti-free speech goals of the org, but don’t forgot TPUSA also maintains a School Board Watchlist, which puts a target on school districts & board members the org wishes to target & threaten.
FYI multiple members of the Bluesky community have been shot without anyone at the company making a single peep about it
Lol cry more little man
In lighter news, TIL that there are beautiful birds with beaks like rip saws.
Asking local jewelers who can do a rush job on some delicate and confidential engraving work.
So...left-leaning women will continue to be ever-more frustrated Cassandras, that tracks.
In the future whenever anyone berates leftists for not allying with centrists I'm just going to point to Charlie Kirk Death Day and tell them to shut the fuck up.
I feel like I'm in a bad dream. These politicians and pundits elevating this garbage person are showing who they really are.
Remember that capital will brook no challenge to its dominance and will use any level of violence to maintain control. No compromise can placate, no compensation is sufficient. Arbenz, Mosaddegh, Nasser, Allende all tried to accommodate its demands and were answered with bullets.
Continuing in your mission of shaming our ancestors.
Forget it Jake, it's MSNBC.
Fuck that guy, just a lazy bigot.
The vague term "political violence" is used specifically bc of its elasticity. It can be contorted to include a murder (despite the motive and perpetrator being unknown), property damage (committed for life-preserving reasons), or protesters using signs as shields when they are attacked by police.
Democratic politicians really showing their true colors today, celebrating a man who would have been happy to see them dead. Just a bunch of cowards and losers.
Never forget that the people who disappeared Rosa's daughter and son-in-law and stole her grandchild are the ones glorified by people like Charlie Kirk when they talk about giving people helicopter rides.
You chose to object to an anodyne statement about state violence to say that the state doesn't do violence. Not sure how else to take that.
But those are people outside of our democracy, duh
You explicitly objected to the idea that dehumanizing people and denying them life-saving healthcare is violence. Not very tolerant of you in my book. But I agree that it does represent freedom, the kind that people like you value: the freedom to die from abuse and neglect.
The fact that you describe him as a moderate means that you're also a hateful person, simple as.
Can't believe I see people honoring this piece of shit instead of all the innocents who died today at the hands of people like him.
Patrice Lumumba, Che Guevara, and Salvador Allende could not be reached for comment.
"Terrorist Democrats" lol
"Every commonsense Democrat knows that socialism and antisemitism have no place in the party" Ok I've read enough.
Annie from Leadville
This is a story on NBC News about what happened to May- just absolutely heartbreaking
The age skews continue to terrify Israel and its supporters. You just can't swim upstream against that current.
I suppose since we're going to start dying of old-time diseases like consumption and the ague, retvrning to Victorian penny dreadful character names seems appropriate. "Lost another child to the bloody flux? Take your mind off it with a true crime podcast from Angus Throatslit!"
"Tactical-style rifles were mounted on walls and handguns were found unsecured throughout the home." And he's been homeschooled for the last four years.
Ha!
It's 2025, why are our mattress sizes still monarchist, sexist and sizeist (and weirdly California-privileging for some reason)?
In 40 years in the business I've worked with a number of billionaires and centimillionaires, and yes.
I didn't think that much of what Israel does could shake me up anymore, but this article is one of the most depressing, nihilistic things I've ever read.
For days I’ve been trying to convince my family to head south. But my father keeps asking me: in the south there’s destruction, hunger, and loss — so what’s the difference? Tell me, who can truly answer him? Who will take the challenge today and cover the $60 we need? chuffed.org/project/1282...
That is very weird. As is this Wikipedia tidbit: "Hall dated the actor Rob Lowe who tracked her down after seeing her at the Oliver North trial".
Omfg what an awful flashback.
If he really did play with them as a kid that says quite a lot. Not that we need any more insight into his character.
Always a good sign when national leaders start talking about fertility.
"...AI personalities they’ve created, including food expert Claire Delish, gardener and nature expert Nigel Thistledown and Oly Bennet, who covers off-beat sports." JKR would blush at these names.
Israel's systematic slaughter of Palestinian civilians, and its support from all the major world powers, have laid bare the evil that has always been at the heart of the modern world order.
We may have smoked weed on the school patio and snorted PCP off the cafeteria tables but we had the good sense to never, ever bring guns to school.
That student in the video was obviously an agitator, citing "President Trump's laws" to assert that teaching "trangenderism" is illegal, and raising a complaint to the university's president, who of course was delighted to take action.
Researchers made 3D models of proboscis monkey noses and used them to analyze the resonant frequencies produced during their calls. The large nose of adult males create distinct calls that travel well through their dense jungle habitat.
Wrong. There are multiple videos on their Insta feed of an incendiary device being dropped onto the boat. www.instagram.com/globalsumudf...
it’s not even a sacrifice, it’s like a Free Gift With Purchase
It's incredible that no one was hurt when the main ship of the Sumud Flotilla was attacked. Crew members were standing on deck when a drone hovered over them and dropped the incendiary device. And if they had been harmed, does anyone imagine that Israel would suffer any real consequences?
Sorry can you try being cogent?
There's no putting this genie back into the bottle. The Cold War is long over, those ideologues are (slowly) dying off, and young people can see the story for themselves.
I crocheted Patti Smith’s Horses cover
For manliness purposes
The Supreme Court bans affirmative action in university admissions but is okay with racial profiling on American streets. That pretty much sums up white supremacy--heads I win, tails you lose, all legal.
Lfg!
"It's not about whether you're a victim. It's about whether you feel you're a victim or not." A perfect summation of the conservative mindset.
Happy Queen Elizabeth II Death Day to all who celebrate.
I can't understand how Sotomayor can continually rail against the effects of lifetime appointments of people like Kavanaugh but then insist that we shouldn't reconsider that system.
Fascinating that Trebek viewed Jeopardy! through the literal lens of the user's visual experience: “Jeopardy! is about its design...You have the headshot, you have the question shot, you have the answer shot, you have the two-people shot, you have the three-people shot.”

Critique of Adulterated Reason
Every time a song from American Idiot comes up I'm torn between wanting to enjoy it and being repelled by its indelible association with the shitty post-9/11 zeitgeist.
Yeah it feels like the end stage of them fucking up the format that used to work really well. I'm not into fashion at all but I always enjoyed watching the creative process, along with the genuine human element. Now it's just fake catty drama and who needs more of that.
Must be actual hell out there for professionals.
Well I just hope Tim enjoys having dinner and interacting.
All this means that this survey is actually showing a significant drop in support for Israel, not a significant rise in antisemitism. Which of course is what these organizations are really afraid of. /end
The questions about Israel are the only ones that showed a real change between 2021 and 2025. E.g. whether Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish homeland went from 6% to 9% disagreement, and being uncomfortable around Zionists went from 11% to 25%, unsurprisingly. /6
The questions that are actually about antisemitism, e.g. that Jews control the media, or whether you would want to have Jewish friends, had almost identical responses between 2021 and 2025 (single digits for most). /5
Another question is "Israel has a right to exist as a homeland for the Jewish people". But there are many people who don't believe that any state has a right to exist, and many are opposed to the concept of ethnonationalism. These are general stances, and therefore irrelevant to antisemitism. /4
A large number of Jews don't support Israel, and most Zionists aren't Jewish. The survey question is asking whether someone wants to be around Zionists, which in fact has nothing to do with being "comfortable" around Jews. It's shocking that this is considered a valid survey question. /3
One question is "I am comfortable spending time with people who openly support Israel". The rationale is that "the overwhelming majority of Jews support Israel", so not wanting to be around Zionists means you don't want to be around Jews. This is both a false premise and an invalid conclusion. /2
This is a completely misleading headline and story, based on a faulty survey. The Generalised Antisemitism Scale was developed to align with the problematic examples in the IHRA definition of antisemitism, making it heavily biased toward conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism. /1
I mean it's true that challenging the LLM to reevaluate its output, check more sources, etc. can improve its response. And this is fine for some applications, especially as part of an automated workflow. But it's simply disingenuous to say that normal people should do this, because they won't!
And this is simple shit to catch. Just think about all the faulty code getting merged because the reviewer (if there even is one) isn't familiar enough with the logic to find the subtle bugs.
It's estimated that 5-10% of explosive ordnance fired into Gaza doesn't detonate, adding to the horror caused by these devices. Children are often the victims of unexploded ordnance, and the problem is compounded by the massive number of shells that lie beneath the rubble.
Off topic (but very much related) someone in that thread replied just with photos of Roth, Chabon and Kingsley Amis, without alt text. Besides the evergreen ableism, how pretentious to assert that you should know these people on sight to be in on the convo. It's all of a piece imo.
That's hilarious and so sad
If the presence of US warships in Latin American waters doesn't trigger a hundred warning bells in your head then you need to go read some history before weighing in on the topic.
It's so galling, these people haven't let up with their oppressive domination for a minute over the last millennium but we're supposed to pretend this is an aberration.
Funny that VH1 was the nostalgia brand when young people still watched TV, not sure what it aims for now. What I would like to see is a reboot of Rock and Roll Jeopardy, that was a fun show. You could have an aging Mark McGrath get stomped by...Kendrick Lamar?
An absolute legend.
