Remember when Mindless Self Indulgence, Lady Gaga and Dethklok were all popular at the same time?

God, that was fun.

Same playbook used on the genocide in Gaza--throw up a smokescreen of conflicting claims and hairsplitting so the audience is comforted by their own ambivalence to other people's suffering. Every item in this is pointless if you know that torture and rape are wrong, period.
The full Weiss memo is dogshit
-who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT
-who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison
—who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

I can't tell if the conspiracy theorists touting the theory that Trump's speech the other night was AI just don't know anything about lighting, can't tell when normal editing tricks are being used; or, if they're just grifters preying upon people who "want to believe" and just don't know AI.

Guys. She knew exactly what she was doing. She’s bad at getting ratings but she’s very good at collaborating with fascists. She’s smart and knows what she needs to be good at.
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

this is a good illustration of how much the particular pathologies of the people in charge matter even if the forces pushing them don’t rely on individuals

donald trump has been evil don quixote for years, hating windmills is one of his most deeply held beliefs, so we don’t get to have wind power
Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

Your annual reminder that if you get this cracker joke and are confused by it, it's apparently because "ffi" is a special character in some fonts and when the typeface is changed to one that doesn't have it, those letters disappear. It's supposed to be "coffin medicine".

Here's a better view of the now-deleted photo showing Trump with Epstein and Trump with a group of young girls.

The photo was originally posted as item EFTA00000468 but was later deleted. Now the 'official' list simply jumps from EFTA00000467 to EFTA00000469.

Heritage American just means your ancestors owned slaves and committed genocide.
If immigrating from England makes you a "heritage American" then I guess I'm one too.

Once upon a time Elise Stefanik was a moderate overachiever. Donald Trump is the worst thing that ever happened to her and she may not even realize it.

She tacked far right, lost friends, quit congress to join his admin, didn’t get it, tried to run for gov only to have Trump publicly undercut her

Redaction is to conceal confidential or sensitive info not already in the public domain. Below is a redacted version of Epstein's contact list produced by the DOJ pursuant to a federal law. But that's already publicly available in unredacted form at a website called "epsteinsblackbook.com"

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

It wears down my soul that here in America we're conditioned from birth to believe food, shelter, clothing, and healthcare are things a person has to earn, and if they aren't employed, society says they deserve to suffer, starve, and die.
