Another Matt

There is a lot to the argument that bourgeois self-hatred is at the heart of recurring cycles of British political failure

Your regular reminder that Palantir started out as a way to expose sex workers to police violence, then expanded to allow cops to spy on anyone they pointed at while barfing out the word "gang".

Fascists *created* Palantir, but useful idiots approved of everything done to grow it.

“Danish helicopter evacuates ill US submariner off Nuuk; President makes non sequitur AI slop post about sending hospital ships presently in dry dock to ‘help’ sick Greenlanders” is today’s admixture of confusion, corruption, and embarrassment that’d be a term-defining shitshow for any other Admin.

Has an electoral coalition ever been so misunderstood?

Screenshot of post that says: "Now, with some distance from Friday, I watched the press conference. This might be one of the most important presidential remarks about the Supreme Court since FDR's Court-Packing address. Of course, it is done in Trump's inimitable style with dripping vitriol, but as Trump often does, he says the things we all think but are simply unsayable in polite company. People need to focus less on how Trump says things and more on what he actually says."

It's time for another episode of "which law professor wrote this latest nonsense"?

“The guy did a great job for a competitive rate. I’m really pleased with it”

If this was “brutally honest” it would say that the worst people in the Labour Party got together with the lobby journalists offscreen, and they secretly decided they would force this project down the public’s throats, no matter what. It doesn’t say that.

These are all adult cops escalating into violence against teenagers. Many of the students are now being held by the cops who assaulted them.

The New York Times said AOC had brain damage because she gave an answer to a question that included the words “I mean, you know”

Hard to pick a favorite part of this video, but these two young women landing punches *at the same time* on the head of the old guy who had their friend in a chokehold was pretty solid.

Think if you give a Liz Truss venture half a million, it's not even a case that you need to be taxed more, but you should be made a ward of the state and your assets seized for your own safety.

Donald Trump Calls On Netflix To Fire Board Member Susan Rice Or “Pay The Consequences” Trump threatened that the streamer would "pay the consequences" as it seeks merger approval.

I want Democrats to learn from this. How to shamelessly wield power.

If they ever get elected again, use it to go against the broligarchy.

Will they? Depends on who we elect and if, inshallah, there are free and fair elections.

Who's the billionaire behind London’s biggest mass eviction? He's the London philanthropist who says he's committed to solving homelessness. So why is Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital rushing to make hundreds of Londoners homeless in the coming weeks?

London’s “worst mass eviction in recent history” is underway; hundreds of households across London told to get out of their homes this week by the same landlord, ahead of the renters rights act. The landlord? Billionaire Asif Aziz’s Criterion Capital. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism

Set things up for his son to become King later though!

Put down a solid family marker.

At the end of the day, when every dollar of the massive slush fund of taxpayer money Republicans appropriated to DHS in 2025 is audited, we will find it to be the largest govt fraud scandal in history. In addition to ICE reforms, it will more than justify this shutdown.

No. You don’t get the skater with facial piercings and weird hair. You get country singers named Bunt Gruntley and Mormon wife influencers with poorly done extensions and that’s what you get. Sorry

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.

From 'buy America' to 'bye America', Wall Street exodus gathers pace U.S. investors are pulling money out of their own stock market at the fastest pace in at least 16 years as Big Tech returns fade and overseas markets look more attractive.

Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi Owned Palantir Stock While Voting to Fund Homeland Security Palantir is doing huge business with the federal government as its share price soars.

god he’s the fucking worst

I can’t stop thinking about how the HHS Secretary of the United States of America went on the news and bragged about doing coke off toilet seats and do y’all remember when Bill Clinton had to pretend like he never inhaled weed because it was a massive nationwide scandal? Wtf are we even doing here

I've been meaning to run this analysis for a while: the probability of voting Labour at GE2024 in seats *gained* by Labour was higher for people who were younger, more liberal, on the left economically, more likely to favour immigration, do not think immigration is the most important issue, etc.

the fun thing about this one is that it expires in 150 days and has to be voted on by Congress to continue

have fun voting on that in the middle of July, Republicans

I just had one of these!

Thank you for this information Bluesky it is both very simple in its language and yet impossible to understand

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

The tragedy of John Fetterman is that he used to dress like a slob but have an encouraging spirt, making him an Oaf of Rugged Individuality, one of America’s great oaf groups. But now he dresses like a slob and whines all the time, making him an Oaf of Misery

I'm pretty sure there's not

love when there's an article about how life is sustainable in the superheated waters surrounding a hydrothermal volcanic fissure on the ocean floor and then like six paragraphs in you find out the author's parents are chemosynthetic bacteria 🙄
