A thing I think we miss is that the “authoritarian playbook” isn’t a set of instructions authoritarians are reading from, it’s just a list of things that happen when narcissists get too much power.

Gorillaz' 'Demon Days' Turns 20 Demon Days wasn’t supposed to happen. When Gorillaz’ self-titled dropped in 2001, it was easy to imagine as a one-off: Famed Britpop frontman Damon Albarn bids farewell to the decade of his stardom by...

Truly moved the needle… backwards.

seems like trump mainly uses “low IQ” to describe black people. of a piece with his birtherism and his insistence that there are specific, low-wage “black jobs” that must be protected from immigrants

Recently I was in a meeting about how to detoxify discourse in the US. While discussing techniques for conveying the confidence of expertise, I referred to RFK jr. as being “obsessed with the shit he is full of” so I may be part of the problem.

I know the Senate has a tradition of being the less hostile chamber, but I would love to see one Dem Senator today, stand up & demand the resignation not just of Pete Hegseth, but of every Senator who voted to confirm him.

They know what they voted for.

He drinks a whiskey drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sends a text that remind him of the war plans
He sends a text that reminds him of the war crimes

one of the most important things to learn, if you're out there doing things:

you don't get to talk about it.

you don't get to brag about it, you don't get to tell your friends, you don't get drinks bought for you in the bar off the story.

it's *always* shut the fuck up friday

X post by The Tennessee Holler (@TheT ...), posted 1 hour ago, featuring a verification badge and a logo with the Tennessee state outline and "TN HOLLER." The text reads, "She's so close to getting it," accompanied by a quoted post from brittainforsenate (@brittainforsenate), posted 45 minutes ago. The quoted text states, "Trump White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: 'In one month there have been 15 injunctions of this administration and our agenda, in 3 years under the Biden administration there were 14 injunctions.'" The attached image is a still from a C-SPAN broadcast showing a woman, identified as Karoline Leavitt, speaking to microphones outdoors in front of a building with a curved driveway and greenery

Why all the Trump injunctions, Ms. Leavitt? It’s really not hard to grasp.

I actually think the dems should attend the SOTU, wait till the 2nd sentence, and then walk out en masse, that'll do it, there'll be no address, he'll just have a meltdown on national Tv

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian.

Anyone else notice how Trump went to the Super Bowl and yet they managed to get on with the broadcast and didn’t feel the need to show him every fifteen minutes while talking about him in the tone of an adoring fan? Weird. Didn’t know that was possible.

Me four days ago on TikTok: "STOP SPECULATING YOU ASSHOLES. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HELICOPTER FLYING."

Guy in a business meeting with me today: "I just wanted to say, I used to fly Blackhawk helicopters..."

Me: 😶

Him: "...and I really appreciated your tiktok."

Me: 😮‍💨

As a fun little thought experiment just imagine if Obama had come into office for his second term like, my boy here is going to be seizing the levers of federal financial power with a team of teenagers he chose. There must be no oversight of their work. He is not from this country btw.

Every time I see a story about a hockey player suiting up with his head barely stitched closed I want to remind them that there are a ton of games. Do they know that? There are so, so many games. You could probably sit one out and people would understand.

it really is appropriate to view this as potentially the biggest privacy and cybersecurity scandal in American history

If we're being honest, saying that "Hitler wasn't all bad" is basically a free square on the MMA fighter bingo card

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

If only there were an opposition party.

A tweet by James F. Love IV captioned "Best response yet," featuring a quote from a German citizen: "You don't think that was a Nazi salute, come try it in Germany, Elon. I f***ing dare you."

Do it, Elon!

Take back your attention.

I say this because after declaring that Gaza is biblically Israel, Elise Stefanik said that Musk was “simply excited about Trump” and “making gestures”. If they’re just gestures of excitement, surely she’d be fine with gesturing, too.

But Democrats are non-confrontational pussies.
