the idea that punk shouldn't be political is so completely at odds with what punk is that...yeah just fuck you? like stop cosplaying.

oh did you not know the billionaire couple who runs the Wonderful company has been using their wealth to lobby for war with iran for decades to protect their pistachio interests

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

Imagine all the cool, fast trains we could have with the billions we spend on bombs.

I think “all the American voter cares about is gas prices” is overly simplistic and broadly incorrect

but I sure as shit think they are going to care about them rising this much this fast

okay so this seems pretty clear. he knows what it is, he did it on purpose, he chose keeping it over his career with the Marines, if we know this then Susan Collins will also know it, it will 100% come up in the general, let's be done talking about this guy as a real candidate

So...Nintendo is already suing for the tariffs but considered The White House modified a promotional image for the next Pokemon spin-off Animal Crossing-like game to use between RTing Karoline Leavitt and unclassified war footage, on the day the game released, I have a feeling they have a new case.

though I guess that only matters if you have Jewish people in your life that you love and care about and want to make sure feel safe around you (ditto for Muslim people, and trans people, and every other marginalized population that gets abstracted into talking points by people who don't know any)

like the only acceptable response to "hey so, uh, that thing you did was SPECTACULARLY antisemitic" is "holy shit, dudes, I'm so sorry, thank you for telling me, let me immediately fix it, apologize, and never do it again or defend having done it in the first place"

Platner has really wasted a lot of time that could have been used to find a better candidate and that's frustrating

Yeah, it's real. Just checked it.

Oh completely. It's such a relief to have this broken down so cleanly. I got very tired of being like "y'all, come ON."

Now I can say that with proof and not just "please don't ask my Jewish ass to believe smth that ridiculous."

they’re calling it the most prescient 11 seconds in podcasting history

Massage practitioner co-sign. I've had clients whose politics were bad enough I fired them over it, but even among that number, overt nazi ink did not appear.

Eagle over a Bible verse sort of thing at worst.

And, as noted in the thread, there is almost certainly some guidance/policy/memo on AUSA/US Attorney’s Office use of AI.

If you have any such document or information, please reach out/send it my way. I’m on Signal at crg.32

if you're ever shocked by something james woods does: always remember that a guy once tweeted that james woods is a cocaine addict, and james woods sued him and harassed him until he killed himself.

which is NOT AT ALL something a cocaine addict would do.

The ‘Severan Tondo’ depicting Septimius Severus, Julia Domna, and their sons Caracalla, and the scratched out face of his co-heir, Geta. Painted on wood, the Imperial portrait dates to around 200 AD, and is now part of the collections at the Altes Museum in Berlin. #Woodensday

Yeah, agreed on all points. I can't fathom getting a symbol put on me permanently if I didn't know what it meant - and I have multiple symbolic tattoos!

But like. You can't ask me to believe he had it for ~20y and NOBODY TOLD/ASKED HIM.

It beggars belief.

I'm so glad she wrote this. The portrayal of her in this series is, to me, indefensible. She deserves an apology from the filmmakers and FX.

And if you hear yourself saying you portrayed a real person (who's alive!) in a particular way to manipulate your audience, please go improve.

Claire, I am so tired of this ridiculous man and his ridiculous lies about his Nazi tattoo. I am so tired of "reasonable people" making excuses for this ridiculous man and his ridiculous lies.

it’s always so embarrassing when Fancy Children try to pretend they’re the salt of the earth, but its extra embarrassing when those Fancy Children decide to complete their romp through the world of the common people with a cheeky working-class Nazi tattoo

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

A Saint looks up from his prayers to discover he’s been dead for some time For St Robert of Knaresborough By Jay Hulme - from 'The Vanishing Song' After he retired to the cave prayer grew in him like a forest, sowed its seeds inside his psyche, rewilded his heart. He didn’t see that centuries had passed without him. One day he looked up, hearing requests for intercession, and the woods were older than expected, the riverbanks shifted by the years — and as he knelt before the altar in his hermit's church, his knees disappeared below the edges of his emptied grave.

"After he retired to the cave
prayer grew in him like a forest,
sowed its seeds inside his psyche,
rewilded his heart. He didn’t
see that centuries had passed
without him."

A Saint Dies Beside the Nidd By Jay Hulme - from 'The Vanishing Song' Prostrate before God a final time I reach out my arms to the earth. This stone blooms with the millennia, this soil burrows with chitinous song; life bursts from the death of another — each earthly thing I've loved is fossil-rich, renewed, re-created, recycled, returned. Soon, I cannot consider the miracle, only this moment, so wholly my own. The breeze in the trees reminds me of the song of my mother’s womb; though I’ll only realise that later — after I’ve gone.

"Prostrate before God a final time
I reach out my arms to the earth.
This stone blooms with the millennia,
this soil burrows with chitinous song;
life bursts from the death of another —
each earthly thing I've loved is fossil-rich,
renewed, re-created, recycled, returned."
