Kennedy says, and maybe even believes, that he's never been anti-vaccine, that is a rhetorical two-step he's been playing for like a decade now. "I'm not against *vaccines*, I just want them to be *safe*", but his idea of "safe" creates a preposterous set of conditions that inhibit vaccines.

He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence

Won the batting title too

Headline: World’s biggest condom maker set to raise prices due to Iran war

oh great now where am I supposed to get my world’s biggest condoms

It's impolite to call these people "Nazis" but that is Nazi talk and the President and his party stand behind this guy, they love him, they agree.

Hard to fine a clearer demonstration of elite capture of media for transparently partisan purposes.

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

I think the gerrymandering race to the bottom is genuinely bad and undemocratic and unfortunately what the dems are doing is the least bad of the bad options available.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

Alex Karp, Palantir CEO and the world's most punchable nerd

a society which allows dorks like this to Sephiroth post on main without dunking their head in a toilet and stuffing them in a trash can has stumbled dangerously close to a fatal precipice

i love living in the first village of an rpg man. friendly neighbors, music is chill af, we even got that one kid we adopted into the village of whom the ancient prophecy was written about. anyway there’s a big ceremony tomorrow can't wait to still be alive after it

And in fact Republican states like Utah and Ohio have retained their gerrymanders in open defiance of successful referendums demanding non-partisan redistricting

Uggb CBC, good for a bit then DONE

The taxes

@radiofreetom.bsky.social hey look finally a Dem you can support

Matt Damon playing a 14th century French knight that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mullet. Beard. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and cigarette smoke.

Matt Damon while playing Odysseus who also looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Long, skinny beard. Smells like horseshit, pine tar, and perhaps Mediterranean herbs.

Matt Damon playing a 19th century cowboy that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mustache. Shaggy hair. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and definitely chewing tobacco.

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

Into my veins

key thing we learned from Virginia campaign

Republicans are freaked the fuck out about accountability

Not just Trump, all of them - including their billionaires, like Thiel

They fear what's coming when Dems win - and Dems need to be ruthless about it

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

These fishermen are lucky to be alive. We will probably never know how many of the ~180 people killed in similar US attacks were also just fishermen.

Vis-a-vis Trump saying he'd have "won Vietnam very quickly."

I'm seeing some people think this sounds random. It's not.

Vietnam sits in right wing consciousness in a way that's important to deconstruct and understand. It was, in their minds, an unacceptable calamity b/c it showed weakness.

“So you know where west chester is? Right, its west of chester, well this is even further west”

Howard Lutnick? The guy sitting next to Josh Harris at the last Sixers game?

Tucker Carlson: I'II be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We're implicated in this. I misled people.

It'd sure be nice if Kamala Harris' campaign organization wouldn't constantly promote Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, and whatnot. But oh well.

I don't think enough people know how important Sicario has become in the Dumb Violent Guy canon, this is their version of women who wanted to do Eat Pray Love

Obviously the answer is mostly “drugs” but it really is kind of fascinating to me how Musk oscillates between “a post scarcity utopian future is at hand!” and “the mongrel races are coming to claim the persecuted white man’s scarce resources in a zero sum game!”

They not only won’t cancel; they’ve handed the entire event over to the fascists.

Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth are sitting at CBS’ table.

FCC’s Brendan Carr has actually been invited, while he’s trying to take away press freedoms.

Movies weren’t really out yet, but I remember catching “the tempest” at the globe theater when I was 18

The iPaid like that guy in the picture lol wheres his device
