Soenthing to think about when it comes to the US giving money to Argentina: a whole bunch of Nazis fled to Argentina after World War II.

ANTIFA FROG

Something a little different. SO to the people at the No Kings protests and SO to the people in Portland wearing inflatable suits in standing up to fascism.

RIP to a legend. Time to listen to his discography again.

Rolling Stone @rollingstone.com · 15d

D’Angelo, the neo-soul trailblazer and modern visionary whose three albums were all heralded as classic works of art, has died at age 51.

Watching the Men In Black cartoon and this took me by surprise.

The next time these folks try to gaslight you about DEI, never let them forget the nepo babies being handed these positions.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

MAGA’s propaganda to justify waging war on blue cities is slowly being dismantled by people wearing inflatable suits. The history books looking back at this time will be interesting.

I’ve been cooking on this take for a while & I have more to say: the 2020s is one of the worst decades for mainstream music so far IMO. The reasons why has a lot to do with broader trends in the industry & American culture as a whole. If something doesn’t change, I don’t see this getting any better.

KPop Demon Hunters songs ranked (IMO):

What It Sounds Like
Your Idol
Golden
Soda Pop
How It’s Done
Free
Takedown

Agreed. Nobody should take Ben Shapiro’s opinion on anything seriously.

My timeline is filled with more people bashing the new Taylor Swift album than praising it. Is the album really that bad (I haven’t listened to it)?

Hey, just a quick reminder that no matter how fucking insane the world gets, making art is one of the most noble and worthwhile pursuits a human being can undertake, and the world is vastly improved by the sharing of your creations, whatever they may be.

The most maddening thing about watching the right suddenly pretend they're concerned about hate speech and embracing cancel culture means that when they firmly held the exact inverse position a week ago, it was also insincere and performative.

We live in a time where the truth isn't covered by the media.

How ironic that the same people who rallied against cancel culture are now participating in cancel culture. The irony is delicious.

The way some people have been acting for the past four days, I am convinced they would’ve defended the slave masters and Hitler when they died.

For those that don’t know what a groyper is, look up Nick Fuentes and dive deep into that rabbit hole. Long story short, they’re shitposting open Nazis.

The universe has a funny sense of humor sometimes. All of these Republicans, MAGA folks, and other right-wingers blamed the left for Charlie Kirk’s death and now they got the shooter, who’s not just one of them, but he’s also a groyper.

Happy birthday, man.

Imagine the day comes when the orange man bites it. You think it’s crazy now? That’ll be nothing compared to when that happens. It’ll be like when the Twin Towers fell and people ask where were you that day.

My big concern right now is that the right will use this as fuel for their “so much for the tolerant left” crusade, which they will do regardless of who the suspect is.

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.
