Bring back virtue signaling IMO. It's good to signal that you have virtue! A lot of people don't!

If ICE shot a member of your family to death, the first thing they would say was that your family member was a domestic terrorist, and weirdos would be agreeing with them as their first reaction.

Marge Simpson sits on the couch in the Simpsons family living room. She says "do you feel inert, like a spectator to your own life-" She begins to dissolve into smoke, as does the couch. "-a thing passing on rails outside your window as you sit there and watch?" Marge and the couch continue to fade away, half the couch is gone now, Marge's upper half fully gone. "You don't have to die to become a ghost." Marge's body and the couch are gone, but her face stares blankly out of the wall.

Great interview! He really had a lot of beautiful reflections on the life of an actor. Need to go back and see more things he was in. He was primarily Locke's dad for me.

Patently absurd that the Democrats spent most of last week going after Zohran Mamdani instead of focusing on rallying against the bill

Two Days Talking to People Looking for Jobs at ICE | Yanis Varoufuckice This is a disgusting country, I thought, irredeemable visually, psychically, morally, and ethically, and whatever is likable about our people’s warm patter does not in any way forgive what we have don...

Fantastic reported essay about what a public acclimated into fascism looks like on the ground.

Hindsight is 20/20 ofc but it seems slightly easier to imagine rallying people to climate politics in the U.S. around rent and mortgages becoming unaffordable vs. far-off, somewhat abstract goals like net-zero, or “beating” China by building more EV Hummers

Punctuated by a series of disasters that - as response & recovery systems are hollowed out - empty whatever savings people have, w/ fewer, costlier options for shelter. Disasters are made worse by all the ways rising temperatures are making life more expensive, but those connections rarely get made

Feels like the current trend in the U.S. is that a lot of people will experience climate change as a creeping, steady boil of rising rents, insurance premiums and prices for everyday items that fewer and fewer people will be able to swallow month to month

Jon Favreau @jonfavs If you're an elected Democrat and you don't speak out about Trump's proposal to jail American citizens in a foreign torture dungeon for life, what are you even doing in public office? Why have the job?

deeply hate the distinction of "American citizens" here. it's also bad if they send non-citizens to a gulag. it's bad if—gasp—they send undocumented people to a gulag. it's bad if they send literally anyone to a gulag!!!

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans

it's gonna be so awesome when a democrat comes into power and suddenly it's not "gulags in el salvador" it's "we have to protect our relationship with an important regional partner and continue to work together to ensure humane detention facilities in the central american jungle"

this shit sucks so much, most of us have lived through at least 3 other recessions now im just so sick of this shit they just keep stealing our future from us

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis.

We need to figure out a way for one particular historical event to happen. A lot of historical events are happening now, but not the one I have in mind. This one would be of great interest to most people I think.

It’s time for the Milk Hotel to choose a side

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again
