No Blood For Oil vs. Exactly How Much Oil Are We Talking About?

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

Official White House tweet of a deportation flight with the caption “ASMR: Illegal Alien Deportation Flight”

I don’t know what to call this but flamboyantly evil.

Do Not Obey In Advance: A Moral Crisis in Arts Funding February energy is the NEA falling apart, a story about my mother, and learning to tell the difference between being trapped and just being scared.

I had, as it turns out, a voluminous quantity of words to say about the National Endowment for the Arts demanding fealty to Trump in their new grant guidelines

(with side tangents into Robert Mapplethorpe, the Eight of Swords in tarot, compliance and resistance, and why budgets are moral documents)

screenshot of the first 1/3rd of the tweet. the text reads: "Trump, a mi no me gusta mucho viajar a los EEUU, es un poco aburridor, pero confieso que hay cosas meritorias, me gusta ir a los barrios negros de Washington, allí ví una lucha entera en la capital de los EEUU entre negros y latinos con barricadas, que me pareció una pendejada, porque deberían unirse. Confieso que me gusta Walt Withman y Paul Simon y Noam Chomsky y Miller Confieso que Sacco y Vanzetti, que tienen mi sangre, en la historia de los EEUU, son memorables y les sigo. Los asesinaron por lideres obreros con la silla eléctrica, los fascistas qué están dentro de EEUU como dentro de mi país No me gusta su petroleo, Trump, va a acabar con la especie humana por la codicia. Quizás algún día, junto a un trago de Whisky qué acepto, a pesar de mi gastritis, podamos hablar francamente de esto, pero es difícil porque usted me considera una raza inferior y no lo soy, ni ningún colombiano. Así que si conoce alguien terco, ese soy yo, punto. Puede con su fuerza económica y su soberbia intentar dar un golpe de estado como hicieron con Allende. Pero yo muero en mi ley, resistí la tortura y lo resisto a usted. No quiero esclavistas al lado de Colombia, ya tuvimos muchos y nos liberamos. Lo que quiero al lado de Colombia, son amantes de la libertad. Si usted no puede acompañarme yo voy a otros lados." full tweet available here: https://x.com/petrogustavo/status/1883624818811236502

an extremely long tweet from the President of Colombia roasting the United States and the Trump administration. "the US sucks except for Black people, Walt Whitman, Paul Simon, and Noam Chomsky" is just the beginning of what we in the business call a rich text

this is gonna be the way things work over the next few years- the admin getting like 1% of what it wants and losing almost every negotiation while the lapdog press spins every loss as a huge historic win, it's literally the modi model

A tall concrete wall beneath an overpass covered by a chain-link fence, featuring street art. On the right side, a hand-drawn cartoon character resembling Luigi from the Mario series leaps upward with one fist raised, wearing his signature green cap, green shirt, blue overalls, and brown boots. To the left, a series of black, bullet-shaped stencils are painted on the wall, each bearing white text such as “DEPOSE”, “DELAY”, and “DENY,” arranged in a line.

Just some cool graffiti

Four plants by a window: a succulent, an aloe, a money tree, and a lanky "bella palm".

Surely this will fix my depression

Yesterday, we all were laughing at Eric Adams when he suggest that they knew the suspected killer’s name but didn’t want to release it publicly. But imagine how you would have reacted if he’d told us they were looking for Luigi Mangione.

Folks will justify the NYPD murdering people on the subway over a skipped $2.90 fare but not even register this sort of corporate malfeasance for the massive harm that it does to all of us

the subway shooter in 2022 left the keys to the uhaul he rented and his credit card in the subway car he shot up and then wandered around new york for 29 hours and the NYPD only caught him - after dozens of tips - when he called them from a pay phone and told them to come get him

Noooooooo you can't say it's good that an evil person got killed in a way that makes countless other evil people worldwide real fuckin nervous all at once in a way that u can physically feel in the zeitgeist around you, that tickles the soul and delights the senses, what are you, some kind of ghoul

fondly recalling how after Jan 6 Congress went home for a long weekend, didn't start impeachment proceedings for a week, which then took another month
