donald trump has been running sprints back and forth between yankee stadium and jfk airport since dawn. he just went past my apartment. i obviously oppose him politically in every way but i gotta call it how i see it: that dude is SO fucking fast. fastest i've ever seen a man run. he was flying
This deleted (but archived) Truth Social post of Trump's from Thursday night is like something out of Twin Peaks: media-cdn.factba.se/realdonaldtr...
"how am i going to explain gay people to my kids" my man I was on a hike with my family and my wife mentioned "grizzly man," I had to explain grizzly man to my kids. you need to get onto my fucking level. we must have talked about grizzly man for forty five minutes and i felt every one
Fred Trump, Hitler, and Roy Cohn appearing at the foot of Trump's bed like this
go ahead and add addiction and mental illness to this equation and you'll see why encampment sweeps are nothing but cruelty to sate the blood lust of a deranged middle class who is far closer to being homeless than they would like to admit

The paradox of Trump 2, I think, is that it's a nascent autocracy with the qualities of a dying autocracy: The autarch is old, promising an early succession; he is using his newfound powers to undermine the stability of the realm; & the regime, for all that it's been accommodated, is run by idiots
“Sui Eyes” is entering my vernacular immediately. sui eyes are EVERYWHERE rn
this was very good/surreal. i feel fortunate to have missed the Kill Tony phenomenon entirely, that shit looks absolutely dire

We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:

The US Attorney who declined to prosecute an Israeli government official arrested last month for underage solicitation has a colorful collection of deep-pocketed donors from past political campaigns, including one who fled a fraud case by going to... Israel. prospect.org/justice/2025...
it won't happen automatically. but there is very obviously an opportunity for ambitious types who want to quite literally save the American republic to have their names written in history. crowns are in the gutter waiting to be picked up
the richest man in the world buying a presidential election, getting run out of the administration for being a weird diva, then pivoting to jerking it to anime cartoons full time is somehow more Roman than anything that ever happened in Rome
DNC resolutions committee voted down the resolution, after voting down an amendment that would have added some language (like "offensive" to "weapons embargo"). DNC chair Ken Martin talked for a while w the sponsors after the vote, out of media earshot.
A human being would do time for this and that's exactly why they want AI unregulated because they knew this was going to happen. Now imagine you have Mechahitler telling your kid what to do, maybe it shows him how to build a pressure cooker bomb or where to download 3d printer files for gun parts
Oh fuck off

Genuinely unreal. Not only do your taxes fund bombing a hospital, and then waiting until more journalists and rescuers rush to the scene to bomb it again — they also fund the perpetrator telling you to your face that it was all just a “tragic mishap.”
mmmm thick viscous fluids, we love that
*17,000 fans screaming* BLOOD CLOT! BLOOD CLOT! BLOOD CLOT!
folks, we are decomposing, and we are decomposing more than ever before. the media won't say it, but there's never been a president with such beautiful necrosis
this debate is so dumb. just put the phones in a locker or something so they can access them in an emergency if everyone is so concerned about that. easy peasy
the euphemism are gone. we have officially entered The Cool Zone
Guys, I have a special & unusual request today. My cousin Sean is a union bus driver here in Los Angeles who was just FIRED in retaliation for saying he would not let masked ICE agents onto his bus to abduct riders. The fight is on to get his job back, you can help: actionnetwork.org/letters/send...
Documents obtained by @prospect.org show that EPA managers are attempting to require prior approval for union-protected organizing activities—on non-duty time. This is a federal agency and employer trying to tell workers what they can do when they're off the clock. James Baratta reports:

Every week someone representing one of our most world renowned publications goes out of their way announce that they prefer the company of actual fascists. And I’m glad, because some people are still having trouble gleaning that from the puff pieces they’ve spent years churning out about them.
any halfway decent journalist should ask Newsom "why is 19 too young to receive lifesaving medical treatment but not too young to date you"

It's kind of funny to think of the version of this that involves Trump taking a very long bike ride with Barry Bonds.

Well I, an astronomer, can obviously think of no downsides to a company promising to launch a constellation of reflective mirrors into low-Earth orbit to increase daylight for folks on the ground.
fascism is a mania and let me tell you, there’s nothing like a manic comedown
see, this is an example of something that actually will make Trump and conservatives mad, actually standing with people who are being targeted by fascists. not something stupid like posting AI slop and calling Trump a gay mango on twitter.

Some incredibly good news: One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print. In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast. In short, it’s working. So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.

the road to nationalizing all the big firms has to start somewhere. slippery slopes cut both ways, baby! www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...
can also run this backwards: we watched the development of mass incarceration, waves of repression of anti-police brutality protests, and a spiraling post 9/11 surveillance and detention apparatus. we shouldn't wonder how a president in 2025 could decide the guys with guns can do whatever they want
