every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

these epstein emails are pretty damning. i sure hope that we haven't spent the last couple years in a cultural backslide where men are seemingly allowed to openly and gleefully fantasize about dominating young women without any threat of reproach

It is very hard to dismiss the fact that senate democrats caving was an intentional gift to Donald Trump. He went to the Supreme Court trying to starve 42 million Americans and we all saw it. And as people fought that, they caved. They are not merely collaborators but wolves in sheep’s clothing.

This! This! This!

My gawd…THIS

What Comes Next After the 2025 Elections Read more here.

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Farewell sweet Prince

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

California’s Prop 50 passed. Now, here’s how to end partisan redistricting once and for all OPINION: We need a new federal statute of mutual disarmament — ideally before we reach the point where there are zero California Republicans and zero Texas Democrats, Joseph Fishkin writes.

I did not write the headline, but I have an op ed on Prop 50 over at the @sfchronicle.com.

Shorter version: the nationalization and polarization of our politics is what got us here, and it's also the most likely way out. It will take national partisan Democratic hardball to enact anti-hardball.

Dick Cheney was a dangerous fool. He not only wanted to exploit the trauma of 9/11 to turn America into the kind of country that builds a network of gulags, tortures random unfortunates, and embarks on misdirected wars, he got the whole power structure of the republic to go along with him.

A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.

This might be my favorite JWST image from the nearby Universe so far. You’re seeing the late stages of evolution of a star like the Sun, after it’s exhausted its nuclear fuel. This is a transient phase where it’s ejected its outer gas layers, which are then irradiated by the hot stellar remnant.

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

uh, that’s not “reimagining” the novel. that’s…the novel.

The airport is a fucking madhouse. Everyone has Bluejay Fever. The baseball kind not the kind that took my uncle on that crisp november morning in 1997

we are also particularly hyped about this right here: we are partnering with Bitch Media to republish selected Bitch posts, in a bid to preserve feminist media for future generations!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Weird thing where people say “no 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 “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

Remember how Musk and his DOGE crew obtained root access to federal computer systems? Yeah, well:

Agreed. This ought to be examined immediately.

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.

@MorePerfectUS 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 — per @4TaxFairness .

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.

Banks: We will not let you have smut about furries or fairies or whatever you sick sick sick sickos

Also banks: Oh hello Mr. International Pedophile how can we move your money today?

The lack of consequences for people like this is how we end up with the same people and contractors doing the same thing to our neighbors and to ourselves
