Do you ever get depressed about the fact that most countries used to have an extensive public transport system before oil companies got their grubby hands in and forced everyone to have to own a car

Yes, I’m my own worst enemy but everyone else seems to be competing for second place.

Before coffee: I hate everybody

After coffee: I feel good about hating everybody

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

"Police focus on ladder placed against the side of the Louvre"

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

all the anxiety human evolution developed to help me spot bears now kicks in when i have to answer emails

I have started dating a man who is very nice but does not share my politics. Any advice? "You just have to get the fuck out of there. What are you thinking? He must be incredibly attractive-looking. I mean, what is it? Is he tall? Does he remind you of your father? There's only two kinds of politics these days, and you can't breathe the same air as the other kind."

Well I was not expecting BILL NIGHY to be spitting facts today!

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Somewhere in the United States someone who invested their life savings into an inflatable frog costume business to the dismay of everyone that knew them is having the best week of their life and handing I Told You Sos to those who doubted them.

Meme featuring two well coifed, intellectual looking Wojacks reading: PEOPLE WHO READ Beneath them are two disheveled, sick looking people with black circles under their eyes reading: PEOPLE WHO WRITE

Ouch. This one cuts to the bone.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

Kinda crazy how much the United States was actually totally dependent on woke after all

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

The backs of many people's heads at Tampa's No Kings protest, as they march from Tampa's Kennedy Blvd., up Franklin St. and on the way to hanging a left toward Curtis Hixson Park. In the distance, below left, someone's holding a handwritten sign, reading, "No Gods, No Masters." Before them, center, a woman is holding up a yellow Gadsden Flag. Except, instead of coiled serpent above the words "DON'T TREAD ON ME," it is, in fact, an enormous cartoon of a cat—more real than Garfield, but there's definitely a Garfield aesthetic, there, you can't deny it—anyway, it's a big-ass cat, mid-stride, mouth open in astonishment, above the words, "OHHHH LAWDDDD HE TREADIN."

Tampa's #NoKings was by far the biggest protest downtown this year. Lots of inflatable costumes. Lots of kids and intensely pissed-off grandmothers. Thrilled to see my favorite Gadsden Flag.

There sure were a lot of American flags at the “hate America rally” "I'm trying to protect democracy in this country."

sign says "I said no kings" in eighteenth-century typeface

In Philadelphia, #nokings goes back a long way.

Asking the eternal question, I guess.

'we should try 5 community grocery stores as a pilot program' enrages the usual suspects more than 'donald trump just took a 10% stake in a giant multinational'

[Exit King.]

I worked for HOURS on my "Vanilla Thrillah/ Missionary 4EVAH" sign, got my khakis and polo pressed, only to find out it's NO KINGS not NO KINKS 🤬

Wikipedia Volunteers Avert Tragedy by Taking Down Gunman at Conference

goddamn is there anything Wikipedia editors can’t do www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/n...

Thinking about how Cal Raleigh—a quiet guy!—said two years ago ownership had to get serious. And how everyone wanted them to get Suarez, but we all thought they’d wouldn’t actually do it. And then they did.

And tonight he did that.

One more.

At the quarterly Washington Traffic Safety Commission meeting this AM, the fact that "only" 450 people were killed on roadways across the state through September is being taken as encouraging, given that the number at the same point in 2023 was 604.

450 people is one life lost every 14.5 hours.

Been noticing a sharp resurgence in the number of spam texts I get from Democratic candidates, in case you were wondering whether anyone in consultant land has learned anything since last time.
