The Goon Squad, by Daniel Kolitz Loneliness, porn’s next frontier, and the dream of endless masturbation

Went into this hoping to find some good content for the show but now just feel a deep existential dread for the future of humanity

This is their playbook for the midterms. Intimidation and harassment - if we are lucky it will only be that. Because their full playbook is most likely much worse but this is the warmup act.

“The president falsely claimed…”

Lied

He lied

LIED

The media fuckin sucks stop doing gymnastics to find ways to say LIES

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

We will need Nuremberg-like trials

15 INNINGS! I am physically, mentally, & emotionally exhausted

This is the most thrilling 14 inning baseball game I’ve ever seen!!!

filing this under my “statements the entire rightwing media apparatus would have a brain aneurysm over if this was even suggested by anyone on the left” folder

“What’s your barber name?” is crazy 😂

"We took freedom of speech away" should be in every campaign ad moving forward.

it’s odd that the rightwing has been able to monopolize “being fit” as an aesthetic online, even the whitehouse social media has in recent weeks dunked on “fat libs” because the average rightwinger in the united states is usually guys like this

Let's be clear a what's happening here: the "censorship" and "bias" narrative is being extended to Wikipedia bc the far right knows that getting bullshit into LLMs is how to shape reality as "answer engines" replace search engines.

Wikipedia is core to that fight so the grievance blitz is here.

The Sora AI thing is proof of something very important: The technology itself is useless without the ability to use the likenesses of real, living, unpredictable people, and the art they create. And the only way to get those likenesses or that art is to summarily steal it.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

The cognitive dissonance here is truly incredible.

There has been TWO mass shootings today and this is what he’s thinking about…

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Can’t wait for six months from now when all the right wing influencers are trying to convince their viewers that “being a soyboy is the ultimate expression of patriotism, time to load up on that tofu!”

This is the dude who showed porn on the screens during a zoom meeting.

You’d think that would merit a mention in the headline.

The editors on that planned Sinclair documentary got through about 10 minutes of this sort of footage and went, ummm.

it’s awesome we have a vice president and administration that live tweets shootings and then gets key details wrong, like how it was detainees who were getting shot and killed, not law enforcement

genuinely crying at this one

mass psychosis

the best part of that argument is essentially just openly admitting that they want their powerful friend protected from any consequence even if he’s guilty

If this were discovered in a leaked email and published in the New York Times, it might get more attention. But Trump just tweets it out, and most people move on with their day. This is blatant corruption. Blatant weaponization. It is undeniably an impeachable offense.

A photo of Brendan Carr, commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission, speaking during a House hearing in Washington on May 21, 2025, overlaid with the headline, "Why FCC Chief Brendan Carr May Be the Most Dangerous Man in Media," and the DEK, "Carr’s most pronounced quality is his total fealty to Donald Trump — and he’s been busy weaponizing the FCC for the cause."

In his effort to bring the media to heel, Trump could not invent a better ally than FCC Chief Brendan Carr. interc.pt/46zp4VT
