It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

The defense secretary is derisively comparing the media to a maligned group of rabbinic Jews, the FBI director is denying reports of drunkenness on the job, the vice president is in a two-front theological war with the pope and Erika Kirk, Donald Trump is still president, and gas is $4. Happy Friday

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system

"reasonable minds can disagree" lmao no they fucking can't

Yeah I forget the tweet but someone on here said all these anti pope American Catholics are going to be so pissed when they discover the Episcopal Church already exists but all these priests are lesbians

Incredible stuff happening out there

Sometimes I feel unsure of myself, while other people go around in 2026 claiming to have invented the Afro

the sites that, for better or worse, hold up the entire Internet, are worse and less reliable every day and it seems pretty hard not to draw a line from that to these companies' layoffs and pushes for AI

so far this wk I've been asked if I "know Claude" and if I am "friends with Claude" - a 3rd person I was not in a position to Q told me they'd simply pull together some "facts[sic] from Claude" for govt work 💀 - and much, much more!

so tired of the hallucinating stare decisis plagiarism blender

Has anyone calculated the chance of a J6er being convicted of sex crimes vs the general population? It's gotta be like 10,000% higher

the guy who thought this was the perfect time to co-brand with the insane fascist dictator is having a sad

I study racism for a living and can still manage to be shocked by how institutionalized it is. What do you mean they were giving tax-breaks to white supremacists celebrating treason?

just a wild country

Absolutely WILD to be moving *to* Substack right now

Imagine dedicating your life to incel looksmaxxing so much that you've smashed yourself in the face with a hammer only to have a regular reporter from 60 Minutes Australia completely outmog you.

Video ‘They didn’t even know what we did’: Former official on DOGE cuts that gutted USAID | Whistleblower Aid Congratulations to our client Nicholas Enrich on the publication of his new book, "Into the Wood Chipper"! In this interview with ABC News, Enrich, a former USAID Acting Assistant Administrator of Global Health, describes finally getting a chance to explain the 60-year-old agency's health work the day *after* his team was let go. “I just gave a high-level overview,” Enrich says. The top brass, he discovered, didn’t know what USAID did. “‘These are the infectious diseases we work on. Here's what we do in maternal and child health…’" he says he explained. "And the chief of staff looks at...

"I had no idea that USAID did this kind of work," USAID's chief of staff told our client, former USAID Global Health chief Nicholas Enrich, as he described the agency's life-saving programs. "I just assumed it was just abortions." Which USAID never funded. More:

I've written before about how USAID was the first government agency killed by conspiracy theory. This confirms it.

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one

I really think there's a conversation to be had about how, even setting aside everything Israel is currently doing, the Democrats as a party are so insistent on backing a hard-right regime. It should not be controversial to say this and to say it is bad.

a screenshot of the "New Bestsellers" list from Substack, with Andrew Tate in the #1 position

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

The problem for certain Dems is going to be that to do this would be to put themselves on the side opposite the current Israeli govt, which, disregarding *all else*, is a far right regime

Yikes. That went downhill fast.

"that the entire block didn't burn down just shows how hysterical and unnecessary it was to call the fire department"

Prior generations had "Whitey's on the Moon"

All we get is "it's racism that I, tweeting from the can, didn't get to name this moon crater"

Looking closer the wings look like arms?? I'm seeing Nixon's two peace signs thing. I imagine the spikes are derived from the Statue of Liberty somehow, but that would mean the head is down while the (second set of) arms are up in a really weird way

At a very high level, i think it's hard to deny that there's the message that we need to "win over" those elusive rural diner voters and there's never any similar messaging about winning over people on the left; even suggesting it gets … this reaction

I think there's an argument that D's have absolutely moderated on abortion, but they haven't caved entirely. I agree that there are lines they won't cross; the perception, though, for a lot of people is that there are a lot fewer of them for R's than for D's or other left-coalition votes.

I don't think it's incorrect to say that the Dems as a party don't respond positively to people on their flank saying "I might not vote for you," but also that's … bad? Because you're so willing to try to win over conservatives, but you just get huffy when people on the left say "win my vote"

I really don't know much about Piker but what I took from that clip is I think a fair point, which is that the Democrats *at least signal* that they will do *anything* to win over Never-Trumpers, but yes, they loathe hearing people in their own party suggest they might not vote for them. That sucks!
