I knew I'd get too old to recognize new celebrities but I did not expect to get too old to recognize what celebrities are famous for. Every day I go "is that a new singer" and then a person born in 2007 goes "ew no they're a peeble streamer on doop" as I inch closer to the grave
relatable 🥲
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

trump can't win against the Pope, those that think he can are following him into the ocean.
You're all going to drown if you don't open your eyes.
Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"
Kash Patel’s colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking, Sarah Fitzpatrick reports. More than two dozen people she spoke with described his management failures and conduct that could harm national security.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
A screenshot of a thread on X (formerly Twitter). The original post is by Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) and reads: "Gay surrogacy and gay adoption are predicated on the idea that gay men (or women) have a 'right' to become parents. This idea is not only morally insane but also logically incoherent. It’s exactly like jumping off a building and claiming that you have the right to fly. Nobody has the right to defy the laws of nature. Where would such a right even originate? Two men cannot be parents. It’s impossible. Doesn’t matter how they feel or what they want. It cannot be. The only 'right' at issue here is the right of the child. And the child has a right to be raised by a mother and a father, not two men masquerading as mother and father." Jenna Ellis (@realJennaEllis) replies: "This same logic is the reason Obergefell should be overturned. Two men do not have a 'right' to be married either." Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) replies to Jenna Ellis: "Absolutely" The bottom of the screenshot shows the timestamp: 1:28 PM · Apr 19, 2026.
All the transphobic pick me gays will have it coming when they're done with us.
We told you so.
Dems need to keep hitting the corruption issue HARD. Make the word inseparable in voters’ minds from Trump and the GOP. Ossoff does a good job here—and it’s an immense relief to hear him talk about Kushner:
ZOHRAN MAMDANI: "It is sad that for too many Americans when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, they have to turn to a history book."
When you’re desperate to keep your job….
You’re free to repeat that defense at trial, Sir
*sigh*
1. That's not a direct quote. If you're going to put something in quotation marks and then go, "Wow. He just came right out and said it," it should be a direct quote.
2. This speech is from 2018. Don't present it as new/recent.
3. The actual content of the speech is bad enough.
And nobody around Trump will show this to him
It’s okay everyone, it’s just a “conversation” it’s not like one group has had their rights systematically nuked from orbit or anything
21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures ... have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?
⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry.
These points stand out:
Trump continues to boost fake MAGA accounts. This one is “based in India.”
it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.
Time for more "Joe Rogan is abandoning Trump" takes.

You should be able to easily file your taxes for free with the IRS.
Not only did Trump kill Direct File, the IRS's free tax filing program, but this week, Republicans BLOCKED my bill that would make the program law of the land.
That's what you call selling out to TurboTax.
This is a momentous story in a lot of ways. One incredible little detail: the Roberts clerk and the Alito clerk who wrote the key memos creating the shadow docket, Joseph Benjamin Tyson III and Barbara S. Grieco, ended up getting married two years later.
You're not going to believe it, but he was lying the ENTIRE time.
Also, never stop talking about the trump-epstein files.
They will never boo Russia. But they will boo our allies.
