Why do movie trailers suck now?

The people who cling to the Woody Allens of this world will never understand the people who drop the Neil Gaimans like they’re on fire.

Some of us are allergic to joining cults.

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

man oh man good thing there isn't an example of a politician running specifically on supporting trans "identity" and winning in a fucking landslide. that would make ol' pete look like just about the dumbest fuck alive.

The Washington Post Democracy Dies in Darkness Bondi says Justice will investigate relationships to Epstein suggested by Trump The president suggested that the relationships between the disgraced financier and several prominent Democrats deserve more scrutiny than his own connections to Epstein.

This is a 19-paragraph article to which 7 journalists contributed; it contains not a single hint that there is any impropriety in the President of the United States directing the Justice Department to investigate his political adversaries.

If they win, Democrats will have to use their newfound authority to rethink, even dismantle, agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They may need to walk back the Bush-era decision to consolidate those agencies and others under a single department, given the wild abuses perpetrated under this administration and its predecessors. It will need to give serious thought to major political and social reform, including D.C. statehood, a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering, a new voting rights act and federal protections for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, including the rights of gender and sexual minorities. Democrats will also need to embrace the legislature’s constitutional authority to structure the executive branch and the judiciary, up to and including Supreme Court reform. If they win next year, Democrats will need to treat the next Congress not as a return to the status quo ante but as the beginning of a new era in which the principal task is to roll back the president’s effort to create and consolidate a personalist dictatorship. They’ll need to fortify the American political system against future attempts to play dictator and lay out a project of genuine democratic renewal. None of this is possible without a willingness to use power rather than just hold it. What we’ve seen this week is that there are still too many Democrats whose instinct is to retreat to normalcy rather than face the conflict at hand.

“I’m a Grok guy” is the single most embarrassing phrase ever uttered in the course of human history.

It's cool how the origin story for every beloved 80s property is "well Ronald Reagan got children's television deregulated, so there was this show that was designed to sell toys to people that aren't yet fully capable of understanding when they're being advertised to."

Why isnt this like th AWS outage? There's other office people that want a day off too!

it's got to be kind of surreal, gathering in the white house SITUATION ROOM like you're in some kind of high-stakes political thriller but it's for crisis meetings on what to say about your boss paying for handjobs from underaged models in the 90s

2024: hahaha suck it troglodytes, this thing's gonna be replacing your job and dating your girlfriend

2026: we continue to see modest gains at the edges of our applications. we believe 14% of consumers may be ready to spend up to three dollars a month on this by end of Q4

haven't seen a single congressional Democrat comment on the Trump administration's unprecedented designation of Antifa as foreign terror orgs

A comic panel from Watchmen, showing a partially muscled skeleton (Dr Manhattan) screaming in pain in front of two horrified security guards. Text reads: “November 14th: a partially muscled skeleton stands by the perimeter fence and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing…”

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.

full lmao

petro is so beast

I will never stop making this point: Republicans and Democrats both love the filibuster because it protects them from their base.

Either what their base wants are things that would get them voted out of office, or they want things that would anger their wealthy donors.

sadiq @SadiqoJN • Follow Why do bash "dead-beat" dads for not being there for their kids but we never question if the child has bad vibes? Or if they're just unpleasant to be around?

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.

They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.

They raped them.

Sex implies consent.

The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

Really difficult to overstate the fury one should feel that the GOP and institutions like the New York Times went all in on transphobia as some mortal threat to women and girls while covering up something like this.

some great news despite the fact that she never should've been abducted in the first place—and the people who did it won't face any repercussions

Obama situation room pic but with this melting fascist and his toadies sweating about being directly linked as a central player in a notorious child sex trafficking ring for the 1000th time today

JD vance: Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.

how aren’t they just run out of town

Valve Announces Steam Machine, a New Video-Game Console The US gaming company behind the popular, handheld Steam Deck is making a living-room device for PC games

Valve is making a console. The Steam Machine, a sleek box with the guts of a mid-range PC that runs SteamOS, will arrive in early 2026. Prices TBD, but unlike the failed Steam Machine initiative from a decade ago, this is Valve's own device. Big news www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

You guys wanna see a dead body?

The Democrats' election plan, as always, is to point at the Bad Man and say he's bad. But this is the time to talk about how this oligarchic political and economic system allowed this kind of person to take power in the first place, and how it should be changed. No appetite for that

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.

He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.

Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Chuck reopened the government and Trump still said stop SNAP and the SCOTUS seems willing to hear him out! Who on earth could've predicted Trump would still stop SNAP even after the shutdown ended and SCOTUS would help him starve Americans?
