everything about DOGE was fucking wildly illegal and everyone involved in it should spend time in prison and have their assets seized

used to be April 1 was the worst day of the year on the internet. These days every day is so damn terrible that a day of failed jokes instead of news is honestly a huge step up.

It’s a weekly pick of, well, very good sentences, which often lead to good pieces like that one.

Agreed on newsletter overwhelm though

You also read Perfect Sentences I guess?

"of Shit" is redundant now

Somebody give that guy a FIFA Peace prize

The ADL needs to:

* STFU and disband and never be seen again

-or-

* get hostilely taken over by someone who gives a shit about anti defamation, FFS.

One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.

Dick Cheney looking up from hell and smiling today

I think we as a society have to reckon with the damage done by Ted Talks.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were nineteen.

This is incredibly offensive. To see the California Governor's office -- and a former san francisco politician! -- promote Reagan as an example of goodness + humanity is outrageous when it's widely recognized that his anti-gay and AIDS-phobic bigotry contributed to killing how many Californians?!

No Kings includes Draft Kings

(*OK, not all but it's the first question they should answer)

San Francisco is having its first competitive congressional race in like 40 years. All* I want to know about the candidates is whether they will vote to #abolishICE.

ESPN on site 40 miles from the super bowl

The theme of the past few months has been unimaginable courage in the face of an authoritarian government and people just want to ignore all that

Tweet from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: "Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges."

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

I don't want to hear another word about "reforming" ICE.

I want you to run in the midterms on removing every dollar of funding for ICE and impeaching every fucking administration official you can get your hands on.

Hey, seriously, Newsom can get fucked

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.

Given how often CSAM is used as an excuse for one erosion of privacy or another on the web even my prodigious capacity for cynicism is overcome by how extremely tepid the response has been to Elon's bot cranking out sexualized pix of young girls.

Your question is confusing to me. Why would it possibly not remind you of the end of Heathers?

Arts & Entertainment: They used Van Halen and The Doors to capture Manuel Noriega. Does the lack of rock and roll involvement in the Maduro operation signal the decline of the genre? We interview 5 middle age white guys and one token woman to find out.

Competition: which are news media more credulous of, police statements to the media or "what a chatbot said"
