Women can't even go barefoot without it being a sign of *someone else's* kink. Not this guy's! Someone else's, the director or something.

Watched the first episode of "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" and it's tremendously fun. Setting aside idiots like Stephen Miller and Elon Musk, I don't know what the people who don't like the show are looking for in a new take on Trek. This seems right on the money to me. #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy

Getting pissy when people take issue with your opinion on a work of art, and treating a very public social media platform like it's "the street" is really flaccid behavior. Just Weenie Hut, Junior shit through and through.
I think it's rude to go into a stranger's mentions and gainsay them like this. You wouldn't walk up to someone on the street and speak to them like "Nope. You need to watch it again"

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

What Schumer is telling you here is that his strategy is just to whine about how bad things are. That's it. Just whine, and hope that wins the midterms.

NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.
Zero Chucks Left to Give
Chuck Schumer now sees a path back to the majority. Can he manage his way through it?

ICE is failing miserably in their attempts to pacify a mid-sized city of polite Midwesterners. And they're going to try the same thing in a city of 8.5 million *New Yorkers*?
NEW: Minnesota Is Just the Beginning. California and New York Are ‘Next,' according to a senior White House official.

Minnesota Is Just the Beginning. California and New York Are ‘Next’
The Trump administration appears to be planning to leverage the same playbook used in Minnesota to go after other blue states.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

the funniest thing about Scott Adams registering a sockpuppet account to praise himself on metafilter in 2011 is that another user (StrikeTheViol) clocked it immediately for perfect timing

Tired old stereotypes about pasty basement dwellers. Here's a question: are there enough of that kind of person in the world to have made "Stranger Things" a hit?

What is Stranger Things’s Conformity Gate craze – and why did it crash Netflix?
An online conspiracy theory has left hysterical fans believing that the Netflix show’s finale was a fake. Could Vecna still come back with a secret episode?

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.
Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.
Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo.
Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

I don’t like these articles saying “we” were soft and complacent after Jan. 6. It’s reminiscent of “everyone thought Saddam had WMDs” in that it tries to share recrimination evenly when many of us were shouting to the rafters in both cases.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

In a sane country, it would be statistically impossible for anyone to have been present at two different school shootings. In an only very fucked up country, having it happen would be the occasion for sweeping change. The USA is a failed state.
