Alan Dershowitz looking like absolute shit filming the police cause he was shut down at the farmers market

Please commit this picture of Alan Dershowitz filming the police to memory so my Halloween costume makes sense

Being right wing is so hard bc you’re not allowed to acknowledge any actual phenomena that shape the world, so when you try to describe something you just end up sounding like if a person speaking in tongues worshipped the internet instead of god

nothing matters anymore but the optics of just arbitrarily imposing extreme austerity and regressive taxation while at the same time building a stately pleasure dome for yourself are kind of in an accepted category of world-historical bad

Well-known strategy

i think the correct way to think about the lonely boy question is not "how do we reach out to incels?" but "how do we make sure that a teenage boy looking for romantic advice isn't flooded with right-wing propaganda?"

people are mocking this, but it’s actually really smart. If you fire the person reporting bad numbers, the bad numbers go away

guy at hotel breakfast looks like Miguel Ferrer. Make a wish 💫

this is my alt

sooooooo it’s one day late, but I’m thrilled to announce my new job as General Counsel at Brown University! I hope nobody gets mad at me

thinking for no particular reason about a very short horror story i read ages ago that was just pontius pilate trying to wash blood off his hands and not being able to scrub it off

thank you, governor. It’s very important to anticipate bad-faith actors twisting everything you say and do and remain eternally reactive. That’s called ‘courage’

Turns out that NPR and PBS' pandering to the right still didn't save their funding. Maybe there's a lesson here for media that think that tilting to the right will spare them from accusations of "liberal bias."

I join the brave Senator in condemning the weekend for bringing these 60 deaths

“A life was snuffed out in the pursuit of a quota. He was forced to make an impossible choice by the federal government: Detention or death.”

i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf

“I listened to Tool earlier. They kept repeating the same verse over and over. 👎”

what is happening

I really loved this book

no, I said I wanted a tradewife. like a union electrician

this is the best single-image encapsulation of how modern conservatism works

watching ‘Executive Decision’ and losing it at this one inexplicable BD Wong expression

I repeat: what kind of educator, and what kind of unionist cannot see how "AI" will be used to automate and dehumanize education at all levels?
It is a THREAT to labor, it is environmentally disastrous and built on the theft of the labor of artists and authors.
For shame.
