Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.

Gonna send an apology letter to Lucasfilm HQ
gangstalking is fake unless you're transgender in which case it's real and the owner of your favorite sports team is involved in it
This story is crazy! The Jim Dolan had a Knicks fan obsessively monitored at games just because she was trans.

HOW 3 TRUMP-APPOINTED JUDGES HAVE STOPPED JUDGE BOASBERG FROM PROBING POSSIBLE CRIMINAL CONTEMPT FOR 363 DAYS Apr 16 Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to believe criminal contempt was committed, but gives govt a chance to “purge” the contempt Apr 17 Govt petitions for stay and mandamus (a type of emergency appeal) Apr 18 Trump-appointed Judges Katsas & Rao impose an “administrative” stay. Judge Pillard dissents. Such stays, which provide no reasoning & are unappealable, are only supposed to last a week or so, if that. But this one lasts 112 days. Jun 24 Former DOJ atty Erez Reuveni unveils whistleblower letter alleging that on 3/14/25 then Principal Asst DAG Emil Bove told DOJ attys they might have to say “fuck you” to judges—the day before DOJ & DHS failed to follow Boasberg’s order to turn CECOT-bound planes around. Aug 8 Katsas & Rao each grant mandamus, though neither joins the other’s theory. Pillard dissents. Aug 29 Same panel stays its own ruling and reinstates the administrative stay pending resolution of petition for rehearing en banc.
Nov 14 Petition for rehearing en banc is denied, but administrative stay is dissolved. Six of 11 judges explain, in statements, that Boasberg can resume fact-finding for possible contempt because changes on the ground have rendered Rao’s theory of mandamus inoperative. Dec 8 Judge Boasberg sets evidentiary hearing on contempt for Dec. 15 Dec 12 Govt petitions for second mandamus Dec 12 New administrative stay entered by Trump-appointed Judges Rao & Walker. Judge Childs dissents. 2026 Apr 14 Judge Rao and Walker grant mandamus; Judge Childs dissents. Second administrative stay lasted 123 days. Total delay since Judge Boasberg’s order so far: 363 days.
How 3 Trump-appointed judges have prevented Judge Boasberg from probing top DHS & DOJ officials (including a now fourth Trump-appointed judge, Emil Bove) for possible criminal contempt for 363 days.
DC panel has (again) BLOCKED Judge Boasberg from investigating possible criminal contempt by DOJ and DHS officials, including Judge Bove, in connection with sending Venezuelans to CECOT against his order. (I can't access full ruling yet.) Panel: Judges Rao (Trump) Walker (Trump) & Childs (Obama)
"keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it’s immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like “yeah so this is going to happen to the internet” and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don’t even get paid for it"
how adults colonize every third space and remove young people — including the Internet

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.
Just checked and this is real - Scottish Labour’s manifesto refers to trans people using slurs and commits to a policy of explicit segregation in public life
Todd is a good follow
It’s a good question, let’s clear the air:
1) Disco is awesome, like 25 all-time classic tracks in a 4 year span,
2) Disco was hated because it was queer, brown, and black,
3) Disco was hated because it paired women and men in a different power dynamic.
4) “Disco Sucks” was a “ MAGA” test run.
I definitely assumed that the first one was Ponder before I zoomed in. It would be a perfect fit if you do more of these!
“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age
This announcement was posted in November of last year.
eBay announced they were closing the TCGPlayer Syracuse location six months prior.
And it gets worse . . .
ICE loves hurting and killing women.
The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.
Delaying booking a return flight back to my house in case my idiot president launches a nuclear war tonight. Even if he eats shit and walks away tonight, don't let anyone forget how fucking stupid this moment was. Don't let kids forget how close we are to annihilation, provided we make it.
"What can Democrats do?"
When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him.
So, you know, that.
Actually I think it’s the people of Iran who are actually in danger, you absolute fucking ghoul.
bluesky employees: we are vibe coding the entire website using only AI now
yeah dude, i can tell
So here’s the thing
If the markets expect TACO, and thus don’t react to, say, possible war crimes, he’s not inclined to TACO and is not dissuaded from doing said war crimes.
(Not that the markets should be the guardrail. Lookin’ at you, Congressional Republicans.)
Can't put an extra plateau in commander! (I still don't like this card personally though)
"The metric of deciding who is a legitimate target 'in effect counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants, according to several administration officials, unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent.'”

Again - BlueSky was originally Jack Dorsey’s pet project to make a Web3 social media / NFT trading post until a bunch of trans furries got ahold of invite codes and started mass-proliferating them to other trans furries and then suddenly BlueSky was 90% queers and annoying leftists and Jack fled.
This gets really fun when you have to do it without a mouse :)
“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”
its so cool that "catholics aren't christian like us, they actually worship the devil" has become mainstream government policy, that's hilarious
