Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?
Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

It's not possible to overstate how despicable it is that the US is currently essentially laying siege to Cuba by cutting it off from all supplies required to live because it objects to a collectivist politics of not allowing people to be denied the supplies required to live.
Pretty sick situation.

this is partly how we can achieve substantial rewilding, to support sustainable ecosystems and reduce climate change
largely the same with land used to grow food, which has been hijacked to grow subsidies and move up the value chain with excessive, inhumane meat production

Put another way, we could get rid of corn ethanol, switch 30% of the freed-up farmland to solar to generate 100% of US electricity, and use the other 70% of the freed-up land for whatever we want.

ICE’s pending $30 billion budget exceeds the military spending of nearly every country, including Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Iran.
ICE + CBP funding for 2026 would total $66 billion, higher than all but 7 militaries worldwide.

After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE.
Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide:

Look at the Reuters social media team laundering lies from the Trump regime with no pushback. Their social media copy directly contradicts their own article, but you would not have realized it unless you went around their partial paywall.

Love that “extreme” means fairly basic masking that many other people in other countries do during flu season or when ill. It’s just us that has this absolutely deranged hang up about it
For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l
Olympic Covid restrictions are gone, but some athletes still self-quarantining

Someone told me, "Get rid of this sick son of yours and find relief from this pain," as if he wanted me to end his life. I swear to God, I am poor and do not have the money to save his life. I am helpless; if I had the money, I wouldn't have asked for donations from anyone.🙏🏼👇🏼

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.
