See? The money was there all along. We were lied to

And the thing about a lot of people, but especially a lot of STEMlords and billionaires, is they don’t want to be more human. They don’t want to be more fully human and more fully aware of their kinship to other humans and more aware of ways of being human that are different than theirs.

A different show but one that caught my attention due to the quality of the banter is Will Trent. It’s unrealistic copaganda but has excellent writing and performances with those layered choices in direction that you call out in L&O OG

You mention “Folk Hero” but aside from the terrible writing etc L&O handled the same issues better in a Season 6 episode where a health insurance exec was murdered by a dad whose daughter was being denied a more effective treatment due to cost. And the dad gets off!

So crazy, because this is my area and I have a new place to try bookmarked.

“I was told there was milk.where is the milk? This is bullshit.”

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability

we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

Saluting the legendary novelist Elmore Leonard, born on this day in 1925, with an all-day marathon of movies based on his crime stories, including Quentin Tarantino's JACKIE BROWN, now playing on Pluto TV Staff Picks: pluto.tv/us/live-tv/5...

He got the shots that his own HHS is telling you are not necessary

Holmdel Park! I’m sure it’s changed tons since the 80s and 90s. Are you referring to the big dirt loop that starts by the barns and goes by the hills and then through trees?

Yes! Go Margot!

why would Democrats vote to fund the government when the official legal position of Republicans, which is winning in court, is that they can fund their stuff anyways and don't have to fund even the stuff we pass that's black-letter law

this is self-humiliation. no funding without concessions.

This is bananas. The republicans ALREADY VOTED to cut health care benefits. Trump ALREADY SIGNED THE BILL. It's the law of the land to ditch ACA subsidies and make the biggest cuts in history to medicaid.

Ew ew ew just for an ad for one of those AI assistants in which a woman asks it to write a haiku about her cat.

You can’t write a 3 line, 17 syllable poem about your cat?????

What is being alive for if not writing tiny little poems about your cat??!!

Add this to my joker file. Good lord.

Yesterday, Stephen Miller had one of the most terrifying Freudian slips I've ever heard.

He claimed Trump has plenary authority (absolute power)—before cutting himself off.

Today, Trump said Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson should be *jailed*.

This is how authoritarian regimes talk. (1/3)

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

I know the National Post and many others have worked very hard over the last nearly four years to memory-hole the convoy but it was nothing like literally any other protest that has happened in Ottawa since.

It was a full-on occupation. And it's not hyperbole to call it that.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

READER: Did you know you’re on the SATs?
HEROINE: Say again?
READER: *presents phone*
HEROINE: …I’ll be damned.
READER: Thought you might like to know!
HEROINE: I don’t even know what to do with this in my brain!

Look at what we could have. look at what our tax dollars could pay for. Instead we’re paying to have ICE pepper spray directly into the air hole of a guy in an inflatable frog costume

The podcast Head Number 7 is an excellent look at this scandal and the larger trade in human body parts.

When you realize how long it takes for a single tree to become fully mature and how many trees it takes to be productive... This is just one more method of *generational* violence.

“Bari” w/10 “WEISS” for the oldsters

Like 30 but looks a modern 55.

Mansplaining Monday: Ladies, what have you had a man explain to you?

I had a man explain how to spell my name, and then when I said that isn’t right, he argued with me

real talk: this site is an absolutely key place for organizing against authoritarianism. the leadership of this site damage that functionality if they make a habit of arbitrarily banning people for opaque reasons.

Hey if you were raised evangelical or your parents used James Dobson parenting methods (corporal punishment for every act of willful defiance) then you might be struggling right now. It might feel terrifying, shameful, and hopeless to stand up to authoritarian rule. That's very much on purpose.

It’s October, when normal folk start thinking of updating their winter tights selection but I live in Phoenix so I usually don’t remember I need new tights until January 10th.

Kyle Kinane is still the best.
