Washington democrats will do everything except pass an income tax
Rep. Shaun Scott wants to plug Trump’s cuts with a statewide high earner payroll tax. It could raise 3 billion dollars a year for higher ed, clean energy, SNAP, and more. Conservatives are already shouting that businesses will leave. Advocates say that threat is empty.
Rep. Shaun Scott Wants to Fight Trump Cuts with a Statewide Payroll Tax
Scott introduced a small package of bills to make up for the cuts in Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” but the “Well Washington Fund” is the centerpiece. The payroll tax is s...

The thing about all the anti-trans sports panic: people argue this stuff while talking about elite level sports, but because there aren't actually a ton of superhuman trans women blowing away the competition, the people actually affected end up being those who play sports for fun/socialization

With Noah specifically it is Israel/Palestine, literally every time he brings this up it’s because of left/liberal sympathy to Palestinians, which he finds inconceivable without some sort of ideological subversion.
Is he just like, on the French internet a bunch? Where did this obsession with Islam come from lol, it's a marginal religion in the US that's not particularly left leaning (Muslims have similar views to Protestants on social issues in the US)

Have to think this would increase the likelihood of a Hassani Dotson signing.

you truly don't want to know how much of your modern lexicon was created by homestar runner, even if you never watched it it inspired all your favorite quirked up white boy comedy shows and podcasts
(A couple days ago my roommate and I were trying to figure out why the phrase “crapfully yours” was in our heads and initially guessed it was an ancient foamy thing. It was not, it was homestar runner, but it’s been re-engaging the old internet video circuitry in my brain, which there’s too much of)

Look I agree with the notion that we should have prosecuted war criminals but this “Democrats campaigned with war criminals” thing is never backed up with any instances of any democrat campaigning with any war criminal.
"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

No, it doesn’t, not when people making way more than minimum wage can also end up homeless
I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

How about “a former CIA asset was betrayed by the government he helped at great personal cost and decided to take revenge, since he was dead anyway?”

You dipshits.
What's more logical?

That the CIA directed one of its assets to perform the perfect false flag?

Or

That a jihadist played the long game by working with the CIA in Afghanistan to gain legal access to the country and then travel 3,000 miles to enact his plan of attacking National Guard soldiers?

The bullet didn’t hit him and the bleeding was from shattered teleprompter glass.
This is a lot, but (allegedly) Olivia Nuzzi sent a secret recorder with a sketch artist to tape Trump at Mar-a-Lago so she could feed campaign intel to RFK, where [pauses to take a breath] something Trump said about his assassination attempt “would shatter our understanding of recent history”??

This is an illuminating article, but not for the reasons that the camo-hat professor thinks it is.
A racist TV show made with the assistance of Sora has attracted millions of viewers. Tyler Austin Harper argues that it could be “the harbinger of a new entertainment landscape where extremist AI shows will jockey for our attention with more anodyne ones”:
The Will Stancil Show Could Be the Future
A racist TV series making fun of a minor social-media celebrity has attracted millions of viewers—and demonstrates the alarming possibilities of AI.

Yesterday a donor pledged to match our second $35,000, meaning that once we hit $70,000, he would pay us an additional $35,000. In just two days, we have hit that threshold. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. With the match, we'll be at 21% of the way to our goal, in just two days.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

if your view of rogue one is that it is a "well-acted and well-written action flick" then i'm just going to assume you've never seen a movie before

1-6. The Lucas ones
7-8. The spin-offs
9-11. The sequels.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

One Weird Trick to introduce narrative tension!
Treebeard never hesitates in war with isengard, elrond isnt selfishly lording over arwen whos never in the main text (having her featured was another positive jackson change), theoden immediately calls his bannerman, denethor is a grey character and competent. aragorn always wanted to be king
