I do think it is extremely important for people to know that the NVE label started being used under Biden. This is not a creation of Trump's DOJ.

I wish I never learned to read

The grand unified “Everyone is Twelve” theory is a legit contribution to contemporary thought and critique. We really are ruled by evil adult children!

My unified theory of political discourse centers around the fact that the quote post was invented in 2015

it’s ok

i really do think the existence of a idiot like Bari Weiss is a sign of decadence

there is still a way to reliably make a forensic distinction between generated video and real video, but there is an agreement to keep it secret because it can be defeated if known. unfortunately i know about it despite this not being my job.

hey you can’t call me that

uh

it’s honestly really funny that they both know about gender accelerationism and assume elon musk is an agent for it. horseshoe theory but for elon repressor discourse

I reject any attempt to make people’s lives better under protectionism and instead call for its complete overthrow.

I think a functional everything site that isn't siloed Reddit style is impossible long term. I make no comment on the current drama because I am a despicable coward hiding behind the uwu smol bean defense. But being the NYT, 4chan, Pornhub, UN General Assembly, and LinkedIn at the same time is hard.

I don’t really mean this sarcastically: if this isn’t what you voted for, what, specifically, were you voting for?

Jake Tapper, who eviscerated Biden for the sin of growing older, has done everything but help install a chair lift in the White House to cover up Trump's deepening dementia and utter feebleness.

Between Weiss and Ellison it certainly feels like the media environment is going to continue its drift away from popular opinion on the question of Israel/Palestine

The CNN anchor did not explain how he verified that it was the president — not any of his aides — who authored the written responses to his questions. He also did not explain whether he’d made any effort to speak with the president by phone, something that has become commonplace for reporters covering the second Trump administration because Trump has maintained use of his personal mobile phone since returning to the presidency and frequently uses it to contact reporters directly. The president’s purported text message exchange with Tapper was also unusual because Trump is not known to be a frequent user of his phone’s text message capacity. He also famously eschews email and other written forms of communication and during his first term he openly complained when attorneys working for his administration took notes during meetings. Trump’s unconventional use of text-based communications to purportedly respond to Tapper comes as questions continue to swirl about the state of his health

Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message? Which means he can't actually confirm it was him. And now everyone's asking even more than before very reasonable questions about the wannabe dictator's health.

When I lived in Europe, I was always completely amazed when the USA’s reputation for racism apparently superseded the absolutely vile full throated old school racism alive and well in plain sight. Certainly we have problems, but secure your own mask before assisting others ffs

I’m so glad this site is finally talking about how racist Europe and Australia is, it’s long overdue

Guy who lives in a country where the annual family fun festival involves wearing blackface and setting fire to a papier-mâché antisemitic caricature while dancing around the maypole: wow, the casual bigotry on display in America right now breaks my heart

when agent smith calls neo mister anderson in the matrix he is invoking a deadname to signify his power as the state but when smith calls neo mister anderson in the sequels its literally just a pet name for his soulmate that no one else uses. the wachowskis are so huge brained

The number of international students arriving in the US in August fell by nearly 20% year-on-year, the largest decline in history aside from the COVID-19 pandemic year

this had supermajority support among the voting public, who enjoyed making a big deal out of it every election season whenever a politician from the major center left party tried making overtures towards maybe not horrendously violating international human rights law on a daily basis

back when I lived there the commonly accepted term for undocumented migrants was “boat people” and they operated an offshore prison for them in a foreign puppet regime created via debt trap diplomacy that lacked basic sanitation and access to legal representation

I literally got Australian citizenship and then moved back to America anyway because it’s the most casually racist society I’ve ever encountered in my life. I remember landing at O’Hare on my way back home and almost tearing up when I actually saw a person with dark skin working at airport security

she kicked off that piece with claiming that Australia doesn't care about race or identity, as I remember.

this is a country where 'Italian vs Greek' can still be a live issue in some neighborhoods

guardian opinion columnist calling a queer transfem a “straight person” 🥱

par for the course for a guardian opinion columnist tbh

Not to get too armchair psychologist, but my guess is that Barrett had spent most of her adult life getting chatted up by fawning conservative men who look like thumbs, and an hour of Dan McLaughlin workshopping his worst one-liners sounds like a fucking nightmare
