love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.
i live in small town in the no man's land of pennsylvania between philadelphia and pittsburgh. i am exposed to plenty of right wing thinking. not really worried about making my social media experience less pleasant in order to "get out of my echo chamber."
It wasn't "cancel culture" when women and people of color got used up, silenced, and dismissed before their careers even began. It only became "cancel culture" when powerful abusers started having established careers momentarily inconvenienced by revelations of what they'd done.
reminder that they defunded the irs and made it illegal to forgive student loans and then cancelled millions of people's healthcare
I got banned for a week on FB for posting this picture. 🤷
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
so it seems like american service members are dying to ensure Netanyahu's reelection.
the thing about people like glenn greenwald saying that trump broke his promise to them is that you have to be the absolute stupidest motherfucker on the planet to believe that donald trump, violent racist bully, is a man dedicated to peace. 1
At first I thought you meant the TJ’s in Capitol Hill in DC, which also has a parking garage where I won’t dare to venture.
Optics.

All the cruelest, dumbest assholes in America want to kill the arts and humanities
Tech companies shouldn’t hire PhDs in philosophy. Wikipedia tried that and now has a guy who calls himself the co-founder of Wikipedia spending decades trying to tear it down while screaming about white genocide on twitter.

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”
Why are people always yelling at The Left, a group almost entirely shut out of public life, including mainstream news outlets. You are mad at people on social media. Get a life

The American right does not defend slavery because progressives say it was bad. They defend slavery because racial hierarchy has been an important and increasingly explicit component of their ideology for 70 years. Read a fucking book.

Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.
i often think about this review
My new hero is @tinabrownlm.bsky.social
Never change, Wikipedia.
Remember when saying something like “deplorable” was bad for a political career?
I will not vote for any candidate who runs with "we need to move forward" and refuses to prosecute this administration for every single one of their crimes. Accountability is all.
Opinion Editorial Board The Texas gerrymander freakout What's happening in the Lone Star State is not a threat to democracy. August 20, 2025
Opinion Editorial Board Wes Moore embarrasses Maryland with his gerrymandering ploy The Democratic leader of the state Senate deserves praise for resisting pressure from the governor. Today at 6:45 a.m. EST
every time you think the new WaPo editorial board can't embarrass itself any more, they manage to find a way.
Left: 'Texas gerrymandering is no big deal!', from August.
Right: 'Maryland gerrymandering is an affront to Western civilization!', from today.
Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."
After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc
This is my new favorite thread. I read it to my wife and she is baffled because she isn’t terminally online like I am.
Also, I want to make it clear that I agree with @thefireorg.bsky.social that Charles Murray should be free to give speeches to college students about how an imaginary person born from an egg after Zeus took the form of a swan and humped a queen is WHITE and it’s offensive woke DEI to say otherwise
