few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats

Never forget how easy it is to dupe these people. You don’t have to run anything resembling a platform for ‘divergent views’ or ‘a range of opinions.’

You just have to *say* you’re doing that and run the same right-wing slop you can find at 50 other outlets.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

ICE agents have been abducting our neighbors, brutalizing protesters, and operating with impunity. Tomorrow I will be speaking alongside other local leaders at 1930 Beach St in Broadview, IL. Tell your elected officials to take a stand alongside us.

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

It's enough to drive you insane watching the government constantly doing crimes and then calling a press conference to say "The real crime is when people say we're doing crimes, and we have to stop it"

Bad Bunny was announced as the Super Bowl halftime performer and it's triggering all the worst people. I'm here for it. Boricua!

Tweet from The Redheaded Libertarian claiming Bad Bunny is a “demonic Marxist” given a global stage during a Christian revival. Attached is a TikTok video still showing Bad Bunny performing onstage in red lighting, surrounded by masked dancers in dark clothing.

Tweet from Robby Starbuck with text criticizing the NFL for picking Bad Bunny as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime performer, calling it political and noting his comments about ICE raids and Trump. Below the text are screenshots: a USA Today headline about Bad Bunny excluding the U.S. from his tour over ICE fears, a Fox News headline announcing him as the halftime show act, and two photos of Bad Bunny in artistic makeup and outfits.

That nostalgia they’re feeling, why it’s so powerful, is because Ai is regurgitating the film and television and commercials and magazine ads that originally created it. They don’t even know they’re not pining for their own memories but for the consumption of an aesthetic designed by Madison Avenue.

An entire generation of dumbs are getting themselves worked up into a fascist frenzy over inaccurate nostalgia videos they know are complete false and it is terrifying hot profoundly strong these feelings are for them despite being very aware it's fake and bullshit.

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.
