Hell yeah dude go off

I just got to the Marine Todd joke in Strip Law

It is impossible for anyone younger the 50 to understand how grotesque and unoriginal this is. It’s always the small group of advisors or tactical team.

what people don’t understand about the maine midterms is collins won’t call out platner because she also has a big tattoo of a totenkopf on her chest

janet mills? that’s right, she also has a totenkopf tattoo

approximately 1/3rd of mainers have a totenkopf tattoo that they can’t adequately explain

let’s fucking goooo

Suppressing Tony Judt didn't actually make criticism of Israel go away, did it

One of the instances in which it is actually emphatically true that by stifling left-liberal criticism of Israel on a liberal basis you just leave open room for nutjobs to do it and fill the space instead

Some Dems are just gross racists, but you can also see a commonality in what Dems tend to give up on: wars against Muslims, immigration, police, queer rights, all things that are low-saliency for the average voter and would require them to do actual political education. These motherfuckers are LAZY.

@JesseBrown Not seeing this obvious point made elsewhere, so here goes: Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers referenced Oct 7th, a day when Jewish men, women and children were brutalized, burned alive, raped and kidnapped, then she immediately said "my heart is with the people of Palestine." This was a heartless and hateful statement. Quote Radheyan Simonpillai @JustSayRad · Mar 4 Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers is returning her TFCA award best supporting performance in a Canadian film, following the organization's decision to censor her acceptance speech during Monday night's gala. Here are excerpts from Elle-Máijá's email to the TFCA, shared with permission.

A photo of Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., speaking at a rally in support of the Kids Online Safety Act on Dec. 10, 2024, in Washington, D.C., overlaid with the headline, "Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online."

"The laws will lead to more data being collected on kids, which predatory companies can then use to target them in more invasive ways," writes @taylorlorenz.bsky.social. interc.pt/4s5Rr7u

Always just enough democrats to crush anything thats good. Its a scam folks.

The Bygone Era of Supreme Court Support for Voting Rights Sixty years after upholding the Voting Rights Act, the Court has dismantled most of it.

Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.

We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy.

New from me at @brennancenter.org:

Telling courts that refunds would be "automatic" and "assured" was the government's way of avoiding emergency relief.

I would like to be present when government lawyers tell a 78-year-old judge “we can’t follow your order because the computer won’t let us.” That’s always fun.

Detail of a pale clay medieval jug, decorated with a green bird and a heraldic shield

Today we're sharing this delightful detail of a Saintonge polychrome jug, which was found at a medieval tenement site in #Winchelsea, E Sussex.

This type of ceramic was imported from SW France during the late 13th-early 14th centuries & is associated with wine trading.

tech CEO in 2026: My computer has anxiety.
venture capitalist in 2026: Here, have 200 billion more dollars.

child in 2006: My NeoPet is angry at me.
mom in 2006: No it isn't sweetie, go to bed.
mom to dad in 2006: We have an idiot boy. Our boy is a little idiot person. It's too late to fix him.

There you go, Platnerheads. You don't have to hold you nose about a Nazi tattoo to beat Susan Collins.

Albini Sessions (Benefit for Letters Charity), by Fugazi 12 track album

This sort of gesture, to release what many have wanted for decades and give all the proceeds to your late comrade's charity, that is friendship.

when I was like 10 my dad had the Time Life Books WWII series and the totenkopf was all over it

Isn't it extremely unexpected and wildly escalatory if it's true that US submarines have started attacking Iranian military vessels so far from the main theatre of operations and so close to uninvolved countries? 👀

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Fetterman is basically a reactionary now: there is no real effort to explain why Mullin - a buffoon who spent the week insisting we are not at war with Iran - is qualified. Trump nominated Mullin, and that’s good enough for him.

Incredibly illuminating to compare income and hours worked across countries and states for ***the bottom 95% of earners only***. The typical Belgian earns as much as the typical Californian but works about 24% less

i don’t know how it can be more self explanatory that if you cover american politics and say you aren’t familiar with infamous nazi symbols—particularly in a country full of nazi sympathizers/white supremacists—you are either vastly unqualified for the job or lying
