Jared Diamond gets so much flack for "Guns, Germs and Steel" allegedly being geographic deterministism, yet you never hear anyone complain about the fact that astrology is completely deterministic. Somehow, people think having their personal characteristics set in stone is fun

Calling members of a religious minority in the Middle East deceptive and untrustworthy. Where have we seen this before?

Anti-Arabism and Islamophobia is just the same old antisemitism put to a new use to malign a different group of people

Popped open "The Ethical Slut" in a cafe only for Mambo No. 5 to stay playing. So here I am reading about polyamory while Lou Began tells me how he has a little bit of Monica in his life and a little bit of Erica by his side. Is Lou Bega an ethical slut?

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future.

Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Of course his mom had to come bail him out.

For all the talk on the right about being a tough, independent man and a system of law and order, it's all fake. Just like Elon's mom has to come defend him on TV, this guy's mom had to come talk to the orange man to get him out of twouble.

What a cuck.
This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY.

And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon.

And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

I can absolutely believe that music can be powerful enough to pierce the veil of time and space.

What I don't buy is that you could convert a barn into a functional music venue in a single day. In *Mississippi*

I can believe in the supernatural, but I draw the line at Southern efficiency #sinners

Reduce, reuse, recycle in that order.

Most of what you recycle ends up in a landfill anyway.

Apartheid Clyde a petty, dangerous, incompetent man but what always amuses me is how no one likes him and he can’t even buy his way into getting people to like him. He can’t buy a good sense of humor or good looks or good reputation.

Protest this weekend in DC on the National Mall. There will be cherry blossoms too 🌸✊

WaPo reporting on Tim Walz using Gmail right when the Trump Administration is trying to shy away from SignalGate is such a clear example of the corporate-owned media in action.

If Bezos wants to fuck the American people, he'd better pay for dinner. Otherwise, we'll go full praying mantis on him.

Trump getting ready to tear up Southeast #Oregon to mine lithium on federal lands, leading to massive pollution. Submit comments before Monday

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @jayapal.house.gov

You dems better standup and stop this unnecessary destruction.

A MAGA supporter drove a car into a crowd, and another brandished a taser at peaceful protesters during a Tesla protest—both individuals are now facing charges. In response, we are launching our own investigative team to support local law enforcement.

Police in Istanbul pepper spray a dervish of the Mevlevi Order during protests in Istanbul.

By the end of the Ottoman Empire, the Mevlevi Order was very integrated with the state.

This image flips that, with the state now attacking the dervish, who believes love is the core of Islam.

Be aware of your surroundings when you're at protests. Look at other people, what they're wearing, and what that says about their intentions.

Regardless, it's important to show up and take up space. Call your friends and go together. Make up your own chant and sing it loud so you can't be ignored.

Don't buy Tesla stock. As long as Elon owns it, there is no price low enough that will satisfy the protestors. That company has to go down

Schumer on the Daily 5/?

"The UN has been anti-semitically against Israel."

My man, the UN *created* Israel. The UN is what facilitated the creation of the Jewish state, but let's just go ahead and undermine the international order since it's in fashion these days

Schumer on the Daily 4/?

He claims he didn't know anything about Biden's mental state, claiming he found out when the debate aired. Either he wasn't collaborating with the president (and not doing his job) or there was a deliberate cover-up, which he denies

Also, NYT is NOT pressing him enough.

Schumer on the Daily 3/?

"Republicans would like to have some freedom from Trump, but they won't until we [pauses] bring him down in popularity."

You could have brought him down in popularity by... Idk... Depriving him of funding. Polls showed that voters would have blamed Trump, not Congress
