This is a five-alarm fire. Utah is working on a 1,200-bed, remote detention camp for people who can't afford rent. This includes hundreds of locked beds, forced medication, & the potential for forced labor.

covenant systems were honestly pretty fun and were some weird scenarios; i.e. you get summoned to invade people in a certain area, you’re a total fucking maniac and just need to kill everyone, you curse another players game and they need to invade you so their game stops being so fucking hard

I feel like Elden Ring’s PvP was good but it was very basic, and missing some of the flair of the previous FromSoft games’ iterations

i want someone to ask mike johnson "should we be worried that you are always learning the news at your own press conferences, which is exactly when you are supposed to be answering questions about the news"

a visual. ridiculous

Really disheartening that the Democratic Party doesn't seem to understand that there is no such thing as "voters in the middle."

There are cross-pressured voters and you reach them by wedging, not by pandering to some non-existent median voter.

The ideal Chotiner interview subject is an expert who cares deeply about their expertise but feels it isn't understood properly to the general populace and Chotiner acts as an intermediary.

The ideal Chotiner victim, coincidentally, believes that this describes them perfectly.

Back in the 90s everyone in the house shared one telephone that was attached to the wall. You could rent VHS tapes from a shop and if you didn't return them in time the worms would get you. You could smoke in restaurants and if you didn't smoke the worms would get you.

Hooray!

A core feature of our unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis is that the Speaker of the House is permitted to performatively lie in public with impunity from the podium every day & the assembled media in front of him offer approximately no pushback at all on the lies.

That’s some whack ass planning

Donald Trump’s father destroyed Steeplechase Park, the iconic amusement palace of Coney Island. Before demolition, he hosted a party for his rich fuck friends where bikini clad waitresses gave them bricks to throw through Steeplechase’s famous stained glass windows

Gold leaf Steinway piano in East Wing of White House

🧵Let's talk about the obvious:

Where in the fuck did all the historic artwork and priceless furnishings go, including the gold leaf Steinway piano that was presented to FDR from the Steinway family?

Did Trump steal all this when he demolished the East Wing?

Why aren't Dems demanding to know?

Let’s remember the time when the mayor was at half court for the MLK Day game at MSG and said, “When the civil rights battle was on the line Dr. King wanted the ball in his hand.”

Then a fan yelled “shut the fuck up” loud enough for the whole arena to hear it.

= IHUFFPOSTI "Basically, I'm just fed up with the fact that I'm cis-gendered, I'm a white male, and I lean right, towards the Republican side," said Fears, 28, wearing a pin of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS. "And I get demonized if I don't accept certain things."

Time to re-up one of the great quotes of all time...while the Totenkopf is in the discourse. www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

German far right setting agenda as opponents amplify its ideas, study finds Normalisation of far-right stances likely to affect success of such parties at ballot boxes across Europe, say researchers

NEW RESEARCH confirms:

Countering far-right messaging by repeating it mainstreams extremist ideas and amplifying extremist terminology cedes the framing of the issues to the right.

(I’ll add that social media “dunking” only serves to spread undesired content.)

We couldn't find anyone among the 7 million+ No Kings attendees who says they were paid to protest. But X user @crypto4u1488 says each attendee was paid $750 by George Soros and bused in from other states. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

When someone uses this emoji 🤣 they are more mad than they have ever been in their entire life

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

Trump has an incredibly small number of actual principles that he holds to for non-selfish reasons, and hilariously, one of them is that public corruption should not be punished.
