I think the *speed* at which RFK Jr and his Great Barrington Declaration/anti-vaxx/Brownstone wrecking crew have been dismantling the US public health system has been really astonishing
Well, Senators Bill Cassidy and Thom Tillis, you wanted RFK Jr. to “go wild” at HHS.

Congratulations. You’ve achieved your goal. He is well on his way to completely destroying the US vaccine program.

Just a reminder that Newsom grew up in a rich family, went to school on a baseball scholarship, and immediately found a billionaire to financially back his vineyard. And also he’s related to Nancy Pelosi.

He does not know what normal is. He’s completely out of touch and telling you to be “normal”.

This is assault by ICE, what he is doing is extrajudicial, illegal, he has no jurisdiction to even be there. Immigration is a civil matter. ICE/CBP and all the people sending them into the streets are the criminals. They are the chaos they are the lawless. Indict and prosecute them.

Gavin Newsom is a Republican and supporting him for president means you are, too

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

But Matthew, consider: Tarantino is a jackass who “borrowed” most of his ideas and almost killed Uma Thurman.

Meanwhile you got to work with David Lynch.

Scream and Five Nights at Freddy's star Matthew Lillard has admitted it "it f***ing sucks" to be on the receiving end of an insult from Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino. https://bit.ly/3KD9PnN

Everything here. And let me add as someone who lived outside the US for several years, many countries that pride themselves on being better than the US simply choose a different target for the same bigoted laws. See the way Roma & Travellers are treated
The thing about being an US born person of immigrant extraction who has also lived in a couple of other countries and traveled to a bunch more is... I can be both very clear eyed in the way the US sucks while also being aware of how other countries use the USA's failings to distract from their own.

So when I was working at a drugstore near downtown Austin in the early 00s, Quentin Tarantino came in and bought batteries and he had a wallet that said BAD MOTHERFUCKER which is hardly the worst thing about him but it's just another indicator of how up his ass he's been for the past few decades

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.

revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

There’s not a single filmmaker who is so magically good it should excuse them being a bully. Not one. Give their money to someone else. We have plenty of talent and too many assholes hogging the resources.

Matthew Lillard is beloved by so many people.

Quentin Tarantino makes women on film sets uncomfortable (not to mention the chokings), nearly killed Uma Thurman, and was besties with Weinstein KNOWING what he was doing.

Anyone still a fan of Tarantino in 2025 is an actual embarrassment of a human.

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.

Just unspeakable assholery.

Don’t forget, for many years #Uber insisted loudly that it would reduce traffic in cities. Instead, Uber drivers cruise without passengers 40% of the time. Uber and Lyft no longer claim they reduce traffic. They now admit they increase congestion.

So much for “making cities better…”

Uber and Lyft said they would ease congestion. Instead they made it worse.

birthright citizenship is precious and should be defended
Birthright citizenship is like one of the only unequivocally modern elements of the American constitutional order and should be protected at, literally, all costs.

see the thing about them all being the worst people in the world is that even when one of them gets killed they can't create a proper cult of martyrdom around him because the others get jealous he's getting all the attention.
I'm not quite sure where to start

Once again, Western Isolationism only benefits Russia and China.

There's a reason they're pushing the shit. They want to expand and take Ukraine/Taiwan and a divided EU and US makes it easier to do that.
Elon Musk is pushing a Russian talking point about the dissolution of the European Union on X.

(The man agreeing with him is a former president of Russia and current deputy chair of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.)

Not to be salty on a Saturday, but just listened to a podcast with a very famous SFF author exploring books he's loved & been inspired by. He said a couple of times how very widely he reads...

...Folks, among the dozens he mentioned? ZERO women authors.

Gang: My brother's scooter - literally his only means of independence - batteries died today. He can't get out of his car without it and would be well and truly stuck. If anyone can see their way clear to helping out or sharing this, so he can be out and about this Christmas.

Thank you deeply.
