I do love how they dance & gambol.

At least Marc has begun to intuit he is not a god.

And wouldn'tcha just know ...?

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

We didn't man.

Haidt is "stunned" that ChatGPT asked how it would threaten youth reveals that its plan would be what Haidt has argued in his books. The secret plan!

There should be some way to rescind the doctorate of any commentator on digital media who interprets ChatGPT output like this. I am not joking.

Rubio's awfully large, prodigiously fat-lobed, ears will never cease to fascinate me.

genuinely so funny that rightwingers are saying this as if it should be scary or bad lmfao

Feds deploy apparent tear gas in Chicago chase after activists block agents Hovering helicopters and unmarked vehicles were part of a federal enforcement operation in the Logan Square neighborhood

There was also this ICE car in Chicago.
Blocked in, stationary traffic, so dropped teargas out the window, right by an elementary school - gassed pedestrians, kids, other drivers, the whole damn neighbourhood.

Angry little bastards are all wound up SO tight.

Oh wow, imagine that!
What if: [hear me out, here] . . . What if the shitbag cop's accusation was really actually a confession?
I mean ... that'd be something.
Does that ever even happen?

Oh hell I just had a horrifying thought:
Imagine having the internal monologue of an ICE guy.

Banger.

‘Show of humiliation’ as Israeli army lays siege to West Bank’s Tulkarem Palestinians face mass arrests, displacement in the occupied territory as Netanyahu pushes settlement expansion.

Palestinians face mass arrests, displacement in the occupied territory as Netanyahu pushes settlement expansion.

It's your basic "Peter principle" in full effect.

if anyone has more videos of eric adams getting booed at the nyc pride parade today please show them to me. i’ve only seen it from three angles, i know there’s more.

An edit of the "Yes... ha ha ha... YES!" sickos meme to replace the sicko with Cathy (from the syndicated newspaper comics) saying "Ack... ha ha ha... ACK!" with an expression of distress on her face. Her shirt also now reads "Ackos"

i think, unfortunately, that this may be my masterpiece

You could know literally nothing else about Zohran and know with 100% certainty he's the right guy for the job based solely on the names of the people who are apoplectic about his win

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.

If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

The Onion NYT ad. The headline of the editorial says “CONGRESS, NOW MORE THAN EVER OUR NATION NEEDS YOUR COWARDICE”

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker.

My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

ICE is also the fault of a complicit press.

How, where and who did ICE recruit? Why isn't every newspaper in the country devoting themselves to finding out who is in this brand new secret police force that now terrorizes America?

It's the definition of newsworthy. The answer is: they're afraid.

wendys is trying to distract from the fact that my new podcast illconceivedpodcast.com is launching on june 20th. typical

Project much?

Another banger ad.
Not even a US citizen, just a Brit who travels there to work sometimes, so screw my opinion - but I hope to fuck you pull this off.
Full disclosure: I haven't been back to NYC in 15 ... maybe 20 years, & the last time depressed the hell out of me, but I miss the place.

The Billionaire Media is pushing for Thames Water to be 'temporarily renationalised' at a cost to you of £21bn so billionaires don't lose a penny.

I have a counter offer, make them go bankrupt, renationalise permanently for free.

Most of us realised Jeremy - sorry, I mean Jaz™ was a little tilted soon after that time he ran off to Iceland after a gig, to "become a classical composer & survive the apocalypse" or somesuch, but he started tooling around with that dreadful Þeyr lot instead. Well that, and all the thaumaturgy.

More faux-nostalgic, xenophobic or should that be racist bullshit in the op-ed pages of the Telegraph. This time, it’s former Scotch Whisky Association CEO David “Frosty” Frost’s turn.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.
