First Colbert, now Kimmel.

Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.

Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR

MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

First look at Lady Gaga in ‘WEDNESDAY’ Season 2.

There are more guns than people in the US. Another deadly school shooting and all some politicians offer is thoughts and prayers. Stop voting for these pro gun politicians who think gun rights are more important than young lives.

Before Trump was even elected in 2016, we could see his behavior was aligned with a condition called the “disowned self” which means a person who can’t see their own flaws, but projects them onto others.

In 2025, it seems that he’s still doing that. With Trump, it’s always projection.

The jobs numbers were horrible so Trump fired the messenger. People are struggling with rising costs and Trump proposes a huge ballroom at the White House. For what? For whom? He says private donors. The money could be spent on something to benefit the American people.

Ten years since the opening of Hamilton really feels like another era. What an absolutely brutal decade

"Hamilton," Lin-Manuel Miranda’s much-loved musical, opened on Broadway a decade ago. It ushered in a new era of race-conscious casting, audience outreach and even stardom. trib.al/u6lk4Rp

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Painting of a woman at a table looking at another woman who is holding a serving tray. My caption “can I get you anything else?” “A new president and another coffee would be great.”

back from vacation (a week ago) and about to make it everyone’s problem

this reminds me of the period in american politics when pundits would demand that any black politician of note — really, any black person in politics with a national audience — “condemn farrakhan”

Is Trump Finally Crumbling?

The Epstein controversy seems to be Trump's kryptonite with MAGA, and for the sake of our faltering democracy, it's up to the majority and Democrats to exploit it mercilessly.

25 November 1969:

"Your Majesty
I am returning my MBE as a protest against Britain's involvement in the Nigeria-Biafra thing, against our support of America in Vietnam and against Cold Turkey slipping down the charts.

Lorem ipsum from the print issue of The Onion, which just reads "passerby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood" over and over.

As an old school @theonion.com fan (I may even have an old issue or two in a box somewhere) you have no idea how happy I was to see this in the new print issue.

45 years ago today, “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)” by Donna Summer & Barbra Streisand became the first all-female collaboration in history to reach #1 on the Hot 100.

It’s not too late

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.
