Brooklyn-born transplant to San Francisco. Not clever enough to be a shitposter, not smart enough to be an expert on anything, not funny enough to be a comedian. Basically mid. Pro-Bay Area sportsball. Anti-GOP, Trump, Nazis. No DMs. Slava Ukraini!

Diane Keaton in her Manhattan apartment with Buster, an Abyssinian, photographed by Jill Krementz in 1977

black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest

Every once in a while I remember Trump changed vice presidents because he sent a violent mob to take care of his previous one and that’s not a thing anyone even talks about.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

A year ago yesterday was a very happy day for me. I had lost my prostate. It was good riddance, as it was riddled with cancer. I’m now cancer-free — and thankful for the tax-funded technology that saved my life.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

A mad world, my masters.

Ms. Machado has largely avoided commenting on whether Mr. Maduro’s removal should involve U.S. military intervention in Venezuela. But she has been a strong supporter of President Trump’s military buildup in the Caribbean, where American forces have destroyed several suspected drug boats in international waters, killing at least 21 people.

“I totally support the international deployment and coalition that’s working in the Caribbean to stop the flow of illegal drug income to the regime,” Ms. Machado told the BBC last week.

The Norwegian Nobel Institute was able to reach Ms. Machado by telephone a few moments before the prize was announced to tell her she had been selected. “Oh my God,” she said in a video posted by the committee on social media. “Well, I have no words.”

She argues, like Mr. Trump, that Mr. Maduro poses an enormous security threat to the region.

“This is about saving lives,” she told Fox News last month, “not only Venezuelan lives, but also lives of American people, because as you have said, and we have heard, Maduro is the head of a narco-terrorist structure of cooperation.”

Yet the announcement of Ms. Machado’s selection for the peace prize seemed to have been greeted with disappointment by the White House, after President Trump talked openly for months about his desire for the prize himself. The White House communications director, Steven Cheung, said the Nobel committee had “proved they place politics over peace.”

At an Oval Office news conference on Friday evening, Mr. Trump said: “The person who actually got the Nobel Prize actually called today, called me and said ‘I’m accepting this in honor of you because you really deserved it.’ A very nice thing to do. I didn’t say ‘Then give it to me’ though. I think she might have. She was very nice. I’ve been helping her along the way.”

Trump lobbied for the Nobel Peace Prize, and media framed it as a legitimate pursuit. Instead, it goes to a right-wing Venezuelan politician who praised Trump for killing 20+ Venezuelans suspected of drug trafficking without any kind of due process. Why?

After an election in which the fascist candidate got less than 50% of the vote, from around 60% of eligible voters, the entire world turned into a Trump appeasement machine. Why?

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 20h

Both the more long-term rot and the very recent decay, perfectly captured: Thiessen has been producing disingenuous reactionary garbage for years at WaPo - that, in fact, was his entire mission. But until recently, excellent people were also writing opinions for them. They're gone. His ilk is left.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

"Trans issues aren't this shameful thing that Democratic consultants suggest we hide from, it's the same fight undocumented immigrants are fighting, or those who can't access health care are fighting. Sometimes the undocumented immigrants and the people who can't afford health care are also trans."

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

We've subsidized oil companies for decades. We're subsidizing Elon Musk's companies, and have for years. States subsidize corporations with massive tax breaks to get them to relocate. Not that it matters, but this jamoke has a child's understanding of subsidies and what they do.
