One of the best quotes I've ever seen about Marvel movies, which are the movie equivalent of AAA games, is that everyone is beautiful and nobody is horny.

I don’t post a lot about the ICE kidnappings and assaults because I don’t know what to do about it and don’t want to suggest courses of action that might get people killed, or draw the wrong kind of attention to people doing good work. But I hate them, and opposing them is basic decency

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

It’s hard to imagine even a hardened gang of criminals acting like this: pointing weapons at the crowd, brandishing an automatic weapon, randomly beating up the woman whose car they hit. It’s like something you’d hear about an occupying army doing.

And why are they so heavily armed?!?

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

everything is on fire these days, sure, but how is it that 50% of all news stories are not about how I just spent $20 on a bag of store brand coffee at fucking costco

Even if you remove every possible regulatory barrier, coal simply sucks compared to modern options for power generation.

From a cold, hard, capitalist perspective, it's done.

feels like it should be a big deal that the president is directing the invasion of american cities based on what are almost certainly AI videos shown to him by his staff

maybe one of our ostensible news organizations could track down exactly what it is that he's seeing

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

I'm not saying that the American voting base is not to blame. They are. But Biden was in a position of tremendous power and he did not wield it appropriately.

Mick @drmick.bsky.social · 3d

Biden is the one who appointed a foot dragging, lifelong Republican who waited until the last minute to actually bring any of those charges forward.
