Robert De Niro: “Now we have a would-be king — King Donald the First. Fuck that. I’m Robert De Niro and I’m asking you to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th”

The Median Experience Of Tyranny If the politics of tyranny were self-discrediting, we wouldn't need mantras like "never again."

This is a wakeup call to all people who could be fighting harder. www.offmessage.net/p/the-median...

Au point où on en est, ce serait plus simple et plus sain de tirer au sort des citoyens random pour former un gouvernement, tels des bouleutes athéniens, que de continuer cette tragicomédie chaque jour plus grotesque

Plus que 80 gouvernements avant Noël !
🎄📆

Renommer un gouvernement renversé par l’Assemblée nationale, c’est une vision assez particulière du régime parlementaire…

Priorities.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

this exists it is called thinking

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

Voire une fois à la retraite. Vaut aussi pour les généraux et les médecins.

Tout à fait. On vient d’avoir le cas d’un ATER qui a refusé le renouvellement… pour pouvoir finir sa thèse. Et pour le recrutement on évite les candidats qui sont en dernière année de thèse sans avoir déjà une expérience pédagogique importante, car on sait que cela pourrait les couler…

La meilleure définition de la droite US (et au-delà) que vous n’avez sans doute jamais lue :

« Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect »

(Frank Wilhoit..)

Félicitations !

Washington, DC under military occupation in last August 2025, with banners proclaiming the absolute power of the primus inter pares

This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

Ça fait plaisir de voir un tel hommage, rendu à cette grande figure, par toute cette nouvelle génération montante de jeunes historiennes et historiens.

I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

This is some next level trolling 🙌👏👏👏

Trump gold Oval Office ornaments from Alibaba

Looks like Trump's new "gold" Oval Office ornaments are fake plastic ones from Alibaba.

zelensky wearing a gold suit Zelensky criticised by Republicans for wearing camouflage gear ahead of meeting in Trump's Oval Office

First, the White House. Then, the country. Let us consider the ongoing overhaul of the White House as a metaphor. A few months ago, back when I was at The Washington Post, I compiled a series of photos to show how the Oval Office had been slow...

The Robert Caro of Trump's tacky gold crap is @pbump.com www.pbump.net/o/first-the-...

The fact that an indicted war criminal has been invited to the US to meet with the President to look at maps of the country he invaded tells you Putin has already won.
