Weird thing where people say β€œno one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it

Sorry but β€œno one could haveβ€œ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

From Hollywood to TV networks to Netflix to YouTube to Uber: they want to cut out humans from the entire money making process. They want to kill the whole world and rule over a graveyard fueled by a digital noise. They are all becoming anti-human. The fight is becoming human vs anti-human.

U.S. billionaires reached a record breaking $7.6 trillion in wealth as of September 2025, an increase of $4.7 trillion in the less than eight years.

Most of that wealth hasn’t been taxed and won’t be taxed under our current system β€” per

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

I can't remember the details, and can't find them now, for my favorite Robert Redford anecdote, but: When Indecent Proposal was being discussed, someone asked a film critic if she would sleep with Robert Redford for $1 million, and she replied, "Yes, but where would I get the money?"

The Washington Post now has no Black Opinion columnists - none - at a time when white nationalism is ascendant in our nation. I am grateful to Karen for the truth and fearlessness her work has always shown. Keep shining that light, my friend.

The Senate primary in Maine looks like the next test of old guard vs. new for Democrats. Despite being a political novice, Platner raised over $1 million in the first nine days. But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., reportedly is working behind the scenes to get 77-year-old Gov. Janet Mills to enter the race.

40% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine killed more people than the COVID virus. One in four believe that QAnon is real.

No matter how far they radicalize, we are told over and over again that the people being rude to them are the problem.

4-panel Comic. (1) STUDENT: If the wavefunction only collapses when I observe it, does that mean my consciousness affects the universe? (2) [Bad:] PROFESSOR: Yes, quantum entanglement proves that we all have souls. (3) [Good:] PROFESSOR: No, consciousness plays no role here. It’s just physical measurement. (4) [Chaotic:] PROFESSOR: No. The wavefunction collapses when *I* look at it because I’m a full professor. It won’t collapse for an undergraduate.

In this political hellscape of 2025, nothing dates the original "Running Man" movie more than, at the end, the hero broadcasts a video of the bad guys doing bad things and the implication is it brings down the government.

Border Patrol agents raided a Home Depot in Los Angeles today, kidnapping over a dozen people in what they called "Operation Trojan Horse."

They borrowed this tactic from Patriot Front, a neo-Nazi group that rents box trucks to transport its members to marches.

Now the fascists hold state power.

60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names. Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.

The Washington Post just published the names of more than 18,500 children in Gaza killed by Israel.
