Sisko: Computer, delete personal log.

Sisko: Someone needs to do something about Gowron.

Sisko: No comment.

Social media and group chats have microwaved the brains of the ruling and media class. They set that shit to POPCORN and let it go until it smelled like burning.

Weird how you failed to endorse the NYC mayoral candidate who ran on an agenda of affordability and taxing the super wealthy.

Man, fuck you. You know what? Go watch Bill Maher, your brain is already fucking rotted beyond repair.

This doesn’t hold up dude. Kimmel got taken off the air. Colbert is being taken off the air. Bill Maher hasn’t even gotten a slap on the wrist because the billionaires who sign his checks and provide his talking points think he’s doing a great job fooling rubes like you.

You can trace his rabid Islamophobia at least back to 9/11, when he was bloodthirsty for the US to get revenge. There’s nothing “antiestablishment” about vengeance, no matter how you paint it.

Please be specific about what things Bill Maher was “right about” that the left wouldn’t say. Please give me your examples.

Except that Colbert doesn’t go out of his way to say that trans people should be thrown under the bus to save his own ass. Kimmel has not come out in favor of the war with Iran. Maher is using his platform to manufacture consent for war crimes. There’s a difference here.

Unlike Bill Maher, I was raised Jewish, and I have lots of Muslim friends. And no, this was not a Zionist subtext, you can go back to his movie about religion which was deeply Islamophobic, his issues there go way beyond any support for Israel.

Bill Maher is the perfect example of someone who is getting paid millions to be a mouthpiece for right wing billionaires while play acting as being a contrarian with an antiestablishment point of view. Here in reality it is easy to recognize right wing talking points wrapped up for liberals.

He doesn’t “tell it like it is”, he’s an old man yelling at the kids to get off his lawn, and there is money to be made doing that on TV for idiots. That’s how my parents in their late 70s describe him.

Chris, if you like Bill Maher, we are all looking at you like you are shitting your pants. Not everyone who is antiestablishment is a grifter, but Bill Maher definitely is. There isn’t anything complicated here, he’s just deeply transphobic, hates Muslims, and has disdain for poor people.

Bill Maher is shitting his pants, and the conversation is like,
People on the left: that guy is shitting his pants
People on the right: yup, he’s shitting his own pants
Enlightened centrist: both the right and left say he’s shitting his pants, so the opposite must be true!

This is not good logic Chris, you could equally say that everyone on the left and right are easily able to recognize that he’s just a lousy grifter trying to play both sides, and anyone who can’t plainly see that fact is an absolute moron who falls for anything wrapped up as “antiestablishment”.

Even my parents in their 70s haven’t been able to stand him in over 10 years. Right now I think his market is gen-x centrists, boomers who were previously his demographic have mostly either moved further left or right since Trump 1.0.

NY10 constituents overwhelmingly voted for the guy with an affordability plan that included a rent freeze, free buses, and universal childcare, and instead of endorsing that agenda we get “more affordable concessions”
… if this is the best he can do when he’s facing a primary, it is not good enough.

Worf: It is screeching, pounding dissonance. It is not music. Riker: Worf, it's better than music. It's jazz.

It’s better than music. It’s jazz.

Your regular reminder that cops don't actually justify their existence or enormous budgets by solving much crime.

Approximately 11% of all serious crimes result in an arrest, and about 2% end in a conviction.

And then there's this...

today's Hi and Lois "comic"

Yeah, this is a Frankenstrip. Existing art slapped almost haphazardly into a grid. Soulless. Also, an "I hate my wife and kids" joke in 2026?

My analysis here has been that Goldman barely won his first primary, and there are a lot of “people who vote in primaries” that have been waiting to unseat him since, and Dan has to convince enough normie voters to show up in June for him. And, Mamdani / Lander took 80% in the mayoral first round.

Tapping the sign.

The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.

George Conway and Shawn Harris are stealing your donation money and giving it to consultants and right wing media or tech companies.

He’s definitely grifting on people who only know him from cable TV and don’t know any better, but also he’s got the crypto industry pulling for him.
