For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.

Who has the price gouging housing monopolies? It ain’t the corporations.

every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally
someone transported here from 1995 with a layman's understanding of the Republican Party - "they like low taxes for the rich and aggressive use of the military" - would be more correct in their assessment of the party than many ostensibly savvy pundits working right now
I’m online a lot less now because it’s still too tempting for me, a person with very few followers, to dunk on other people who also have very few followers. It achieves nothing except that it makes me, and maybe the people around me, a little more caustic. No thanks.
the Labour party trying to paint a picture of why you shouldn't vote Green and it's "everyone will take drugs all the time and also engage in fundamentalist Islam"
of course people voted for that, it's Dune. you've invented Dune!
it's fascinating to watch Costco lap every one of these clowns because they have the only CEO in America who still thinks his job is to run a company that does business and not be the main character of life forging his personal legacy with one eye on the group chat to see if they're impressed yet
said this to @brianvan.bsky.social but cops participating in snowball fights is the kind of thing used as "cops are good for the community propaganda" but now they're such beefed up roidboys they can't even do that anymore. find some joy in your life, losers.
Lots of rightful praise about how healthy Alysa Liu's sense of self, competition, performance, and pressure seem to be. But now I'm getting antsy that all the praise will cross over into its own external pressure. "This famous person is so well adjusted!" seems like a tough fandom to wear.
Some linguistic fun for a Sunday morning.
Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism
When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.
Alysa Liu, welcome to The War on Cars.
amusing contrast of Alysa Liu taking BART everywhere and prominent NBA/NFL players driving like idiots and causing tons of car crashes

If you can't climb onto the snow to pick up after your dog, don't let your dog shit on the snow. If you don't want to pick it up because it's cold and it makes you sad to be cold, you don't get to have a dog. hellgatenyc.com/new-york-cit...
Ari Drennen @AriDrennen Follow The high trust neighborhoods that MAGA yearns for exist all over America, and they're all like D+40 nxthompson A @nxthompson •22h An extraordinary paragraph. buff.ly/uH5ykhX The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesivebecause of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.
This is so spot on
Rich guy whose business is entirely, entirely built on both foreign labor and the integration of the descendants of former colonial subjects sees the formal legal equality of those subjects as vile oppression. Story of our age! bsky.app/profile/theg...
we're not doing the stuff in the image anymore, we're leaving "actually anti-social behavior is fine" in the dustbin of woke 1
There are generally two ways you'll hear it: "puh-CAHN" or "PEE-can" (full pronunciation of the second syllable, as in a tin can).
It would be great if headline writers and social media managers stopped using the word “despite” when they mean either “because of” or “merrily alongside”.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."
The entire genre of the milquetoast one-line "lol he's so mad" post followed by an eighteen-inch screenshot of his latest Truth Social rant is going to drive me out of my mind before this is all over

[P] Bad Bunny's halftime show featured farmers, a pickup truck, people drinking and having a party, fireworks, the American flag and him saying "God bless America."
Good thing country music fans had the TPUSA show so that they could see anything they could relate to.
halftime show
what a shot
