Another masterful gambit! Drumpf the Cheeto is certainly done for after we mock him for chickening out and not following through on fascist policies. Everyone knows the Democrats are the ONLY party that u can count on to actually follow through on fascism!! 🌮
Democrats will hand out free tacos to mock Trump

Interplay's persistent, open world of deadly mutants, heroic Desert Rangers, Martian red herrings, and toaster repair skills became an unforgettable experience that was rekindled by Fallout nearly ten years later in 1997.

I really, really need people to understand that as a function of supremacy, normal everyday people lie constantly about their intentions—to everyone, but perhaps to themselves most of all—and most often in service of protecting their ignorance and complacency, rather than any coherent ideology.
i really, really need people to understand that they *didn't* vote for this, no matter how much you insist they did. insisting "they voted for this" elides the information environment that led them to vote the way they did in the first place, the thing that actually needs fixing.

Whenever someone blames the job, it's not the fucking job.
Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard."

housing affordability is one of the few issues where i feel like the median lefty is just wrong in their diagnosis of the problem.
I genuinely don't follow what point is being made here. Vacancies in New York are low because there isn't enough housing! This building is very expensive because ... there isn't enough housing! Where is the tension? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/r...

Cruelty really is the point.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

Happy 75th b’day, Stevie — who once said he writes the music first and lets the lyrics find their own way.
One example: a tune was going to be about religion. "But then, .. we were in the studio, talking about things that happened when we were kids, back in the day. So it turned into 'I Wish.'"
