“Officials have yet to pinpoint the source of the contamination in the creek, which spans between Cumberland and Franklin counties. They do know what’s in it: Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS), commonly grouped as forever chemicals.”

See this fuckhead at Nuremberg.

Most telling part of this rant: That the war will go on until "we decide it is over," not until the aims of the war are achieved - because there are no stated aims; and Trump prefers having none, so any result will allow him to try to claim a "win."

If you don't think it's a doomsday cult, you are probably in the cult.

Separate from all the horrors, these are the stupidest mutherfuckers on the planet.

Nothing like a bit of fascism from the top.

They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.

This is so fucked up. Have we learned nothing from Breaking Bad? If we pay teachers well, Heisenberg never happens. Seriously, the entire show? Poof.

Never an attractive man, he now looks like the portrait in the attic in Dorian Gray.

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

Veiled in Secrecy, Anti-Trans Extremist Group Deceives Public — Assigned A new group reliant on hate and falsehood claims to represent “liberals” and “Democrats.” Its own words put the lie to its claims.

NEW: They're an extremist anti-trans group. They're supported by right-wing stalwarts like FIRE and the National Review. And they claim to be Democrats.

Who are they really? @billiejsweeney.bsky.social investgates Democrats for an Informed Approach to Gender.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

James Baldwin

Counterpoint, what if we all finally admitted he was fully insane?

We are in wild fucking times when I am in full goddamn agreement with MTG.

“Remember what I said…” Yeah. About that. It’s almost impressive how confidently wrong that prediction aged.

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically.

Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

I know, I know, allow people to change etc but saying “before I got thrown in a concentration camp I just assumed all the people being thrown in concentration camps deserved it” is CRAZY

How Brothel Workers in Nevada Just Made Labor History The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch were staring down a horrifying new contract. So they did what workers everywhere do: They got organized.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast.

They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

Art time! Which is better?
Tiepolo's Last Supper?
Or
Trump's Most Desultory Meal?

Those AI scumbags are going to rape the region, yet again.

OpenAI exec becomes top Trump donor with $25 million gift The super PAC will help fund Republicans' midterm election battle.

If you are still using ChatGPT, I would beg you to fucking stop using this wholly unnecessary and entirely toxic garbage.

It was the longest SOTU address on record. White Lotus is like reading Walt Whitman, by comparison. I stand by my decision.

I am finally watching the 3rd season of White Lotus. All the characters are horrible (with 1 notable exception). It's a difficult watch, but they are still better than watching the SOTU last night, in which Bloated Mussolini careened on for an hour and 48 minutes of lying, rambling, nonsense ...
