the Boots Riley discourse on twitter isn't going far enough imo. if you're actually a leftist, you shouldn't even be *watching* movies and television. the only way to actually be a Marxist is to live in a big tank like a guild navigator in Dune so that you can spend 24 hours a day posting

Fuck it we’ll do it dead

I know about 600 ppl at the local renfair who would kill this guy in under 8 seconds in a swordfight where only he had a sword

“I’m a pathetic toady but will keep my independence “

I will be hosting a pub quiz this evening at the Black Horse Tavern, in Pawling, NY. There will be an Earth themed round. There will be a question about Tuvan singing

So when it comes to beards and hairstyles, discipline requires strict conformity. When it comes to contracting and spreading a preventable illness that directly affects unit readiness, follow your bliss, man.

Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...

Karp: I am being oppressed for my religious beliefs!

Me: Holy shit! You are being oppressed for wanting to feed the poor?

K: LOL no...no not those beliefs

Me: So....opposition to war and exploitation?

K: Haha no not those beliefs either

Me: Which beliefs, exactly?

K: Oh, you know the ones

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

It’s extremely funny that Patel’s lawyers decided to spread allegations that got cut from the published story

Really not a fan of this new conception of masculinity that’s all whiny entitlement and permissiveness with none of the responsibility.

This. I wrote about how Michael Phelps's sport-advantageous physique is celebrated, while that of Black and brown athletes - especially if they are women - is often pathologized in the Performance chapter of HUMANS: A Monstrous History (link in bio).

But who's next on the monstrification list?

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.

The graves of multiple children have been defaced.

One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

i've been saying this lol. it's very funny to see rightwingers in the celtic fringe jump on the reform bandwagon. i'm a foreign migrant? ok, well, you're a national traitor, so.

Very good: “This confederacy of goons think that their wealth and whiteness and maleness conveys automatic competence, so they never bothered to learn anything about anything, and they fired everyone who knew anything about anything, and dismantled all the programs that helped make anything work ….”

The question is how much did Lori Chavez-DeRemer bet on the timing of her resignation?

This screenshot also describes the Mets when they mess up their fundies.

Given how many people vote, in-person voter fraud may be the least common crime in America. Compare it with the most common: wage theft. We've done everything we can to prevent a single vote from being stolen. It's almost impossible! But we do absolutely nothing to prevent workers from being looted.

if Ds are really this close in MS, they could absolutely win Texas...and Florida.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

‘Simply stop giving millionaires water for literally free’ is one of the most insane sounding but actually serious policy solutions out there

"Go and get the Tim Robinson Hot Dog Costume Meme."

when robots take over, they're not going to run like a toddler with a full diaper, they're going to be the size of grains of salt and crawl up our noses to access our neural network, this is all misdirection

Palantir is its own agnotology machine. Do not engage with their discourse, which throws spaghetti at the wall of media: every strand introduces a new kind of doubt. You try to consume & debate it but in the end all you are is tangled in spaghetti and covered with marinara.

This is just a shitpost, but there's something to the idea that

Almost every design choice and optimization for large language model-based "AI" comes from the designers' terror of ever hearing the words "you're wrong" or even just "no."

The equivalent of a "Tizla strategy" for the US would be Mitt Romney running on a platform of overturning Citizens United, banning gerrymandering, court reform, and jailing half the administration. And I mean, if that were how ol' Mittens were rolling, I'd at least hear him out!

That said, I'd be comfortable with them being allowed to augment their compensation by teaching law school classes at public universities

They get a 100% lifetime pension after age 75; $300 grand is a lot more comfortable when *none* of it has to go towards retirement savings

this reminds me, i don't think SCOTUS should be allowed to choose their own clerks. standardize the hiring schedule, put the applications in a pool, blind reads (perhaps by a panel of former clerks) and random assignments.

Kagan screamed so loudly at liberal ally after Dobbs leak the ‘wall was shaking,' book claims Justice Kagan allegedly yelled at Justice Breyer so loudly the "wall was shaking" during the 2022 Dobbs leak crisis, a new book by Hemingway says.

Forget about the substance, the reveal that “most of” the justices talked to Mollie Hemingway for her book is bananas. Hemingway is a right-wing freak who runs a conspiracy theory blog. If literally any of the justices are taking this person seriously, the Supreme Court is GONE gone.
