Quick reminder that if hating yourself actually changed who you are in the ways you want, it would’ve worked by now

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

when people say genAI is the future I am struck by how short sighted and fatalistic this is as a concept

it’s recycling our past for the future, it’s drinking our filtered waste while not thinking about how many times you can do that, it’s hoping tomorrow’s answers have already been said

I've posted this picture before but I do find it interesting that the police here arresting Carlo Gambino, at the time one of the most dangerous men in America with dozens of killers at his command, didn't feel the need to cover their faces because they are not ashamed of their work

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

There has never in history been one Nobel Peace Prize winner who begged to win one. Not even one....

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

A screenshot of a potential Bluesky post saying “Poor”

I closed Bluesky and put my phone in my pocket and when I took it out I was about to post this here: this is accurate

philanthropy is propaganda & charity is a poor substitute for robust social programs

it's just another way for rich people to continue to control who "deserves" to be supported & avoid supporting everyone

hope this helps

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

Lady you’ve got a problem

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." Sinclair Lewis

Tweet from Dan Satterfield Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel. The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact? See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area. 2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week. 3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts. 4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company. Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact.

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

Jarvis: I hate to say this to my friends here at CNN, mass media is dying, so they're taking the last of these vestiges of institutions that matter and they're trying to turn them into propaganda organs under threat from the head of the FCC

When I studied abroad at Oxford during law school, it was a common thing for Americans to argue that the written US constitution was superior to the unwritten UK constitution because it's harder to ignore written rules.

I guess that argument is basically over now.

A totalitarian movement must never achieve its goals, as that would eliminate the need for the movement itself. Even in victory, new enemies must be created in order to justify further cruelty and domination.

In light of today’s news I’d like to remind you that this is a real newspaper clipping. History repeats itself when we don’t stop it.

They have the United States MILITARY carrying that man’s casket for processing off Air Force 2.

Motherfucker served not ONE day in the military. He was a podcaster.

Racism is POWERFUL

There is no such thing as civil bigotry.

Opinion | Charlie Kirk Didn’t Shy Away From Who He Was. We Shouldn’t Either.

.@ezraklein.bsky.social here’s the op-ed you meant to publish Thursday www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/o...

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I seriously don't know how to explain to people that it is not in fact a sign of maturity and democracy to peacefully debate whether certain groups of people should be allowed to exist

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements."

Really meant,

"For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Big sigh. Watch this.

Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?

No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible The task of reporting is not a simple one. Each and every day, reporters and editors at publications like The Onion make difficult decisions about which issues should receive attention, knowing that o...

From ‘The Onion’ Editorial Board:

Charlie Kirk spent his life making people like me unsafe. His followers sent me death threats for years and threatened my employer if they didn’t terminate me.

His work was NEVER about free speech. It was about hate and emboldening violent people. The dishonesty of the past 24hrs is disgusting.

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did
