The Atlantic continues to cover itself in glory. This guy is treated as an elder statesman for a career that peaked with—drumroll—being one of the earliest and loudest proponents for invading Iraq after 9/11. I suppose it's good he's now a fan of white nationalism, that means it too will fail.

Handling: General considerations The cat is faster and has sharper teeth and nails than you do. It has no 'code of ethics' or considerations for its own future. In a fair fight it will win. 1. DON'T FIGHT A CAT 2. USE YOUR BRAIN 3. USE DRUGS

a black and white photo of a four-door sedan launched into the air by an explosion just out of frame

in 1973, basque separatists killed spain’s fascist prime minister with a bomb so powerful it launched the car he was in clear over a five story building. he survived the initial attack but died in the hospital

Outlined in black on a square white background, the four iconic Black Flag bars; behind them, a loon, all black with a single red eye; and the text "RISE ABOVE" (in the same font Black Flag used), with "RISE" above the bars-and-loon image and "ABOVE" below it.

From the Twin Cities Geeks Facebook group, shared by Michael Wallevand: "If you're looking for something more punk to show your solidarity with other humans. I borrowed a bit of the DIY punk ethos and the famous Black Flag logo (and one of their song titles) to create this."

Aaron Rupar post: Schumer as a major American metro is being brutally occupied by Trump goons: "The affordability crisis will be our focus throughout 2026 because that's what the American people are demanding"

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

Y'all need to have the same kind of smoke for AI Music as you have for AI Art. Okay?

Music is an extremely important part of artistic human expression, and we must not allow it to rot away because 'it sounds just like the real thing' or whatever.

Musicians are going through it too. Fuck AI.

Taqqiya means pillow too, just FYI 😇✌️

Hard to think of anything in media that regularly brings me as much pure joy anymore as the headline in The New York Times' Trilobites section.

Opinion | Mamdani’s Victory Is Less Significant Than You Think

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.

Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People “What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

i keep bitching about this but i ran a version of this on Friday without being patronizing or sounding like a boomer but now the NYT version is the one that keeps getting shared

Homey literally said "touch mass"

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

What cheese

There’s a WEBTOON on this, albeit targeting a younger audience called Lucky Cat

this is literally just racism

Maaaaaaaaan, SO MANY leftists & progressives in the replies and QTs who simply cannot take the fucking W. Also, I hate to break it to y'all who live in a parallel universe where Obama is hated, but he's literally the most popular man in the US every year running for two decades. This is fine, y'all.

THERE IS NO DISCORSE ITS PEOPLE WHO ARE SAD IN THEIR ROOM OR BORED AT THEIR JOB AND DA TEXT BOX BECKONS TO BE FILLED , THE SIRENS CALL OF "REPLY BUTTON " BENEATH EACH POST TOO TEMPTING TOO RESIST, A STIMULUS WHICH REQUIRES A REACTION, DA TEXT "DISCOURSE ISENT REAL , ANY ONE CAN TYPE, NO ONE HAS TO REPLY " - DASHARE.ZONE ADMIN

When I moved to the US (from India), I had friends tell me that I shouldn’t be putting Asian in the demographics qs as they mean only East Asian countries (which ended up untrue)

Point being: These forms are also not universal and often can mean different things to people of different origins!

The immediate success of congestion pricing, after the Dem establishment insisted it would discredit the entire party, was a great advertisement for Trying Shit.

Look I am always here for a religion angle but "I want to thank everybody and in particular God, I want to just say we love you God" is a weird-ass thing to say at a briefing

Screenshot from The New Yorker: One morning a few weeks ago, I met de Blasio at his regular coffee shop in Park Slope. He had just come from the gym—the same one that he’d insisted on commuting to every morning from Gracie Mansion, no matter how much grief the press gave him for it—and was wearing sweats. He held forth among his fellow-patrons with a spirit of magnanimous, possibly unreciprocated camaraderie, greeting a startled man by the door with a familiar “How you doing, brother?” and ordering his breakfast (scrambled egg whites, cheddar, ham, and tomato on multigrain toast) as “mi sandwich especial.” These days, de Blasio most often makes the news for his love life or for such momentous moves as dyeing his salt-and-pepper crewcut. But he’s sensed a bit of de Blasio nostalgia creeping into town. “Since I left office, the No. 1 thing that people come up to me on the street and talk about is pre-K,” he told me, lacing his iced espresso with a heavy pour of simple syrup. “The No. 2 thing that people talk about is that Onion headline.” He quoted it for me, savoring every word: “Well, well, well, not so easy to find a mayor that doesn’t suck shit, huh?”
