It was unclear if I was aware what type of liquid was in the glass before I drank it. It was unclear how the liquid was made, although it appeared to have emerged from a can. The can appeared to have been taken from a six pack of beer that was purchased by me from the store.
The New York Times has finally covered the Trump video of Obama as an ape — and they are still providing cover for him. Fuck the Times.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

Something that unsettles me here lately is that I have to look elsewhere for any sense of what’s happening in Ukraine, and what’s happening in Ukraine is very bad indeed.

what if instead of every writer having an individual premium substack we had lots of writers working together for one publication. you might have editors, too, and designers. and only one regular fee, instead of seventy billion! wonder who will invent that. sounds like it’d be good

Basically what Bannon and others recognized was that status anxiety over the changing gender norms was a way of selling the elite grievances of billionaires back to the masses as their own fear of someone else's freedom

The rampant sexual violence, the rape apologia in response to MeToo, and the fostering of misogynistic hatred under the guise of "populism" are all part and parcel with the Epstein Class's fear of democracy. It's an abhorrence for the very notion of consent, be it of the raped or the governed
I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

Right-wingers are always whining about George Soros this and that, but as of today, Elon Musk had 104 times Soros's wealth, and spent more money to sway the 2024 election than anyone has ever spent on any election in the history of the world. So all those Gomers can fuck right off.

And today the Treasury Department told me it wouldn't expedite processing of a FOIA for the agreement allowing Qatar to hold the money because it couldn't identify an immediate public interest.

To help out Treasury: It rhymes with corruption. It's also spelled the same as corruption.
SHAHEEN: It's been reported that the oil sold for $500 million and $300 million went to Venezuelan government. What happened to the other $200 million?
