Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

The Nobel Committee really threaded a needle here, choosing an person who opposed certain kinds of authoritarianism while requesting aid from authoritarians in her attempt to overthrow her own government, including Netanyahu and Trump.

Apparently our newest Nobel Peace Prize winner wrote to fucking Netanyahu for help in overthrowing the government of her own country dawg

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this TikTok since yesterday. Sherman was stressing those ladies out.

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

How is this a "snub" when he was surely never a contender?

And who is the author of this op-ed? The billionaire CEO of an asset management firm who helped author the compact.

Update: Zohran is IN A FUCKING TREE HOUSE. WITH THOSE PEOPLE.

Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.

My day was also like this. And finding that transition forced me to figure out what the adjoining paragraphs were trying to say. Writing is thinking!

This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

In case you need to tell them apart, of course.

Bad Bunny also has a stronger chin.

Writing is literally finding these transitions, thinking through the big picture and the little, making sense of the events. The idea of handing off this process to AI is just shocking, and the fact that AI guys don't understand that suggests they do not understand much about art or writing.

There's a social media trend of people attempting to run marathons with zero training and a take that really resonated with me is doing this means that you never really fail. I think the AI people have a similar mentality. They want to be able to say they have done a thing without doing it

Donald Trump wants to sell YOUR student loan debt to Wall Street.

He's not looking out for you — he's looking to make his CEO buddies more money off of your back.

We never incited violence, we just called this guy a member of antifa who funded terrorism and told our followers to pay him a visit ha ha and then a totally unrelated group of people threatened to murder him in front of his students ha ha

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

I am so sorry for the loss of the truly perfect Fergus. We put our elderly perfect guy to sleep this summer and I am still not over it. Thanks for all you do for the animals.

Yo dog, I heard you like hallucinated citations, so we put hallucinated citations in your response regarding hallucinated citations so you can show cause while you show cause.

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.”

Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

Overreach

the background on zohran's colbert appearance is jaw-droppingly disgusting
