"Fascism is a temper tantrum disguised as an ideology" is a great line

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

What is a reactionary centrist, and does the UK have them? A term favoured by US progressives can help us understand Britain’s drift to the right

Key insight from @polphilpod.bsky.social:
“The right must be understood, but never blamed. The left can be blamed, but need not be understood.”

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

they had to go with “america party” over the more natural sounding “american party” because the american party already existed and they ran george wallace for president in 1968

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology.

If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

Greying white man in Columbo #1

Greying white man in Columbo #2

Greying white man in Columbo #3

To anyone questioning the importance of diversity in casting: I present these three DIFFERENT characters in a single episode of Columbo.

i am once again saying that if you allow polling to define rights, you don't have any real rights at all

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who killed so many children in Samoa they ran out of child-sized coffins, has been confirmed to lead Health and Human Services.

The vote was 52-48. All Dems and Mitch McConnell, whose fault this is, voted no. All other Republicans voted yes. The blood will be on their hands.

Hi Hollywood, I know you’re going through some stuff right now, but when you get a free moment, could you please revive Columbo, written by Rian Johnson and starring Mark Ruffalo? Thanks.

PS. Kathryn Hahn as one of the killers.

We honestly don’t know what Pokémon looked like, we’re just guessing that we put their bones together correctly

A meme with D.W. Read, the aardvark from the Arthur series. Two panels. The first one shows D.W. with a label on her saying "Steve Bannon" and looking at a sign that says "the Constitution." The next panel shows the same thing zoomed out with the caption, "That sign won't stop me because I can't read."

“I don’t know, maybe we do it again in ’28. Are you guys down for that? Trump ’28!”

YouTube video by MacG EPISODE 613 | ERROL MUSK On Growing Up in SA, Elon Musk,Donald Trump,Dating Step Daughter,Ex Wife’s

in other "look at where this guy comes from" news, Elon Musk's father just did a lengthy podcast episode that opens with the host saying "I bet the last time you had this many black people in your house someone was trying to rob you"

Have to hand it to him, this is very funny

the important question isn’t “did Harris lose because the left is too woke?” it’s “why isn’t Donald Trump in federal prison?” We’re being subjected to lectures about politics by the people who held all of the power and let this dipshit slip through their grasp.

Thank y’all for this! My Cat Vinny loved it. Mona Lisa ran off when the episode started 🤷🏻‍♀️

“The Cost” by Maria Bartiromo and James Freeman

The opening anecdote of the book, absurdly describing (with references?!) a chocolate cake served at Mar-a-Lago.

@ifbookspod.bsky.social perhaps too unhinged for the pod, but my dad (cringe) is reading this absolute gem. The opening anecdote made me crave the catharsis of hearing Peter and Michael experience it.
