You cannot separate the current nightmare we now inhabit from the collapse/crisis in how rich, powerful middle-aged men perceive masculinity, especially their own insecurities.

Trump just celebrated Schumer's cave by pardoning 75+ co-conspirators including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Tuesday's election results clearly were irrelevant to these people. They voted the same way on this that they would have if Democrats had done badly. Total disconnect from their voters.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Shumer caved despite this happening today! Anyone with an ounce of political savvy would have stuck to their guns after this epic example of weakness.

Tonight was a very bad night.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

What if the Baileys that Chuck listens to are just the two shots he pours into his decaf every morning

These are the senators at risk of caving.

Please call them - especially if you live in their state. Please tell them to not cave until you get guarantees on healthcare. (Not just empty promises from Rs)

What was the point in all this if Dems cave now without any guarantees?

The softest Nazis you ever did see They're tough guys in the streets and delicate little babies in court.

"They want everyone to know these thugs they’ve deployed to terrorize cities are battle-hardened and impervious to pain. But in court, they're such delicate flowers that if they are, say, lightly grazed by a sandwich, they are entitled to justice because of the horrific assault they have suffered."

We’re now watching the murder of space sciences in America. Unless someone can stop this, this is the beginning of the end.

The brain drain will accelerate until there’s nothing left to stay for. 🧪🔭

Uninstall Grammarly NOW. They've partnered with an AI company and actively scrape your writing to train its models.

Going to need the book The Hague for years followed by some serious lustration programs.

Hell is when Cheney shoots someone in the face and *he •* has to apologize to *them*.

"In the process ... Common Crawl has opened a back door for AI companies to train their models with paywalled articles from major news websites. And the foundation appears to be lying to publishers about this—as well as masking the actual contents of its archives."

I bet some future archeologist is going to be incredibly excited and then overcome with crushing disappointment when they discover all those giant Home Depot skeletons.

Tweet from Ella Devi: canvassing for @ZohranKMamdani in the east village today and the actor who plays dr. strugis in young sheldon is in my canvassing group!! Photo of Ella with another canvasser and Wallace Shawn

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

“‘I am become death, destroyer of worlds’ is often used now to describe the kind of negative experience experiences you can have with social networks, like when a high-follower account does a dunk quote tweet on a low-follower account“

Have We Reached The Tipping Point? The president has stooped to using hunger as a political gambit

Last week, the Department of Agriculture said it will withhold money earmarked by Congress to pay for SNAP during the shutdown, the first time emergency funds have not been released in such a case.”

Cruelty is the point.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

The Senate is still meeting and holding votes as normal despite the shutdown.

The House has not held a vote in a month and a half now solely because Mike Johnson wants to prevent the release of the Epstein Files.

They've killed our government to save their pedophiles.

A screenshot of a tweet by Elon Musk (@elonmusk). The tweet reads: “When Tolkien wrote about the hobbits, he was referring to the gentlefolk of the English shires, who don’t realize the horrors that take place far away. They were able to live their lives in peace and tranquility, but only because they were protected by the hard men of Gondor. What happened to the nice man who was brutally murdered while walking his dog will happen to all of England if the tide of illegal immigration is not turned. It is time for the English to ally with the hard men, like Tommy Robinson, and fight for their survival or they shall surely all die.” Below the tweet is a grey box that says: “This post is unavailable" indicating that the Tommy Robinson tweet he's QT'ing is missing. The timestamp reads: “8:02 AM · Oct 29, 2025 · 1.9M Views”.

The "hard-men" of Gondor were getting their shit kicked in until they were rescued by foreigners and a girl.

The Shire was doing fine until they let a fascist demagogue ("Sharkey" aka Saruman) take over, close the gates, impose a bunch of thug-enforced rules, and despoil nature for profit.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Now listen as he says it is wrong to use children as "human shields", with the vaccine.

No one proposed this.

Everyone was clear the vaccine was to protect kids.

But watch how Atlas performs here, fakes getting emotional.

Compare it to the video below.
