This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

I, for one, don’t like when people with nazi tattoos start talking about small groups of people who run the world

Arcade Fire playing in the supermarket. Millennials are officially washed.

This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

Oh my god shut up

Community meme: I CAN EXCUSE FASCISM. BUTI DRAW THE LINE AT MERCANTILISM.

The Supreme Court:

i'm still going to pay tariffs because they train me to be a better businessman

Philadelphia, you are the best

My latest for Liberal Currents. A substantial portion of conservatives want to be rich people in a poor country because it affords them a greater sense of hierarchy and power. We misunderstand that at our peril, but making it clear and not affording them the benefit of the doubt could save us.

This is a popular bit of wishcasting, you see it in both left and centrist-y versions, and it is absolutely not true. Populism is about identity and exclusion, it is not people lashing out because they secretly yearn for whatever your preferred economic policy is.

you have to treat people like this with the same seriousness as you would a guy screaming at you about the lizard people on the street; they have a similar relationship with reality.

it's not easy breeding deer for gigantism, but that's why I make the big bucks

The Supreme Court Lives in Fox News' America A Court that does not share a common factual world with the people it governs is untethered from democratic reality.

The problem with the Supreme Court supermajority is not just one of ideology or politics, but of epistemology. The world as they understand it bears little resemblance to reality www.liberalcurrents.com/the-supreme-...

Really cannot be emphasized what a bunch of losers these ppl are. They are so absolutely scared of the outside world that theyve sealed themselves in real tight to an alternate reality where they think they are ascendant rather than just ignored at best.

Artists make culture and artists have empathy

Lotta conservatives posing this 'info'. I can't speak to its accuracy but I've taken to asking them - why does Trump need an extra $75 billion to deport fewer people than Obama did?

It’s the most 90s song of all time

Screenshot from "Tortoise Wins by a Hare," a 1943 Bugs Bunny cartoon. It's a newspaper front page, banner headline: HARE RACES TORTOISE TODAY Further down the page, near the fold, is a much smaller headline: ADOLPH HITLER COMMITS SUICIDE

One of my favorite jokes of all time is "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide" being a tiny headline under the banner story about a hare-vs-tortoise race ... in 1943, two years before Hitler committed suicide. He was alive and well when the Warner Bros. cartoonists made this joke.

This gray haired bitch wanted to beat high school girls and attacked them. He got his shit took but please tell me again how this is sustainable. Pretending like any of these assholes respect the law or the social contract of being a human.

Our entire government is starting to feel like Make-A-Wish for a dying narcissist.

I bet you could search this person’s posts from 2024 and find some version of “the parties are the same.”

I'm coming around to the idea that the firebomb-a-walmart people who are complaining about voting aren't just dooming, they fundamentally do not believe in democracy.

We're fighting for liberal democracy, they're fighting to be the ones in charge of a dictatorship. Those two are incompatible.

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

With apologies to the one person in this who isn't the hugest fan of his own memefication, I could not resist

All right indulge me for a moment because there’ll be a link to Fox at the end of this thread for sourcing purposes. But it’s valuable to see what the other side is saying. In short, they mix some actual facts in with some completely deranged fantasy. 🧵

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage
