George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran detained for three days by ICE:

"It's important that no one has to go through this…I'm not scared of the government or what they say about me…They are refusing to take accountability, but I'm not scared."

Masculinity is crying when things don't go your way now

This “warrior” bullshit has to stop man i cant take it

it’s such a stupid bill too. my god.

always a good time to remember that donald trump believes exercising expends your life force and will kill you

Fuck Trump and hegseth for making me agree with rand paul and say he's currently a voice of reason

The student loan forgiveness thing makes me so mad because Republicans (elected and voters) were not animated about this issue before the M4A crowd made this one of their “[VERY BIG ASK] IS THE FLOOR” demands

This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.

I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

As I was just saying.

They will scale up random “schools” based on market speculation and then close them down when demand wanes. Thats the plan.

the technofascist right’s telling us we can’t trust experts on matters like health, the environment, history, child-rearing etc. because we’re smart enough to “do our own research”

and also we are dumb babies who need their ingratiating, frequently wrong tool that is built on all the experts’ work

Amusing that the main pitch for ChatGPT is telling everyone they are dumb idiots who can't possibly handle tasks on their own that humans have accomplished on their own since the dawn of time.

it’s definitely not some sort of nonregionally distributed feudalism.

you can have all your needs met and be protected if you just swear fealty and a significant portion of your economic output to a specific corporate entity. it’s called being free.

I just think it’s funny they told this reality TV bimbo he was secretary of transportation and his little pea brain immediately thought he was supposed to come up with travel advice

everyone involved in this--from that nameless fuckface guard to john roberts himself--should spend their rest of their lives in prison

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

i decided to read this just to see what they’re arguing and—good lord.

I think “the president’s allies are promising to destroy media institutions the president doesn’t like to curry favor with him” is very bad, actually

*sigh* nobody’s perfect

well fuck

vance comes off like the worst actor in the world bombing while trying to play the character of jd vance

this story and his telling of it are grotesque in like 8 different ways

stephen miller is the most detestable person in the administration, but he doesn’t care that he is.

vance being this offputtingly ingratiating makes him crazy detestable on a different level.

i am totally incapable of imagining the person who thinks this story is charming or funny or even interesting

dawg, these guys are so fucken weird

true. it’s all just content by assholes, featuring assholes, for assholes

lawn mowers are sapiosexuals
