So social media has become a collection of snuff films, where we watch some of the worst people in the country execute some of the best, and mainstream media has become the place where talking heads debate whether the executions we just watched were justified.

I love the “every generation of men needs their Hemingway / Kerouac / Bukowski . . . to write self-published violent pedophile porn under a pseudonym for a small group of LA edgelords” thesis. Ah yes, a literary movement to be reckoned with
“Do you solemnly swear that your racial self identification is accurate in the eyes of white journalists 15 years from now who are allied with White Supremacists? Failure to do so will be used against you in the event other White Supremacists hack and leak this application for political gain.”

i’d appreciate if more people would own me by posting pictures where i look really beautiful and elegant. that would show me
This 940-page reconciliation bill has a list of horrific provisions. One of the worst is a $211 billion tax break to the top 0.2% who inherit $30 million.
In this bill 16 million lose health care & hungry kids lose nutrition. Meanwhile, billionaires get much richer. Disgusting.
Love this totally legitimate and real functioning democracy, where every June our nine wizard-kings descend from the mountain to tell us which laws aren’t real anymore
Axelrod on #CNN saying the Dem establishment is opposed to Mamdani because he’s too young and that his supporters just want a fresh face. Nothing about policy. Nothing about establishment failures. This a party that refuses to learn.
We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort.
On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country
Is there a way for the people who actually enjoy living and being an animal on a beautiful planet to be in charge instead of these soulless pits of despair?
Cost-cutting tactics The secret bonuses were just one of many maneuvers UnitedHealth devised to track and cut expenses in its nursing home initiative. Internal emails show, for example, that UnitedHealth supervisors gave their teams “budgets” showing how many hospital admissions they had “left” to use up on nursing home patients. The company also monitored nursing homes that had smaller numbers of patients with “do not resuscitate” – or DNR – and “do not intubate” orders in their files. Without such orders, patients are in line for certain life-saving treatments that might lead to costly hospital stays. Two current and three former UnitedHealth nurse practitioners told the Guardian that UnitedHealth managers pressed nurse practitioners to persuade Medicare Advantage members to change their “code status” to DNR even when patients had clearly expressed a desire that all available treatments be used to keep them alive.
UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money.
This is murder.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?
Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.
Dear god let this man cook.
There’s something very perverse about this happening in the context of all the cuts in funding for research in public institutions.
important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:
If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

New poll:
“America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.”
• 80% of Americans agree
• 20% disagree
“I would be better off if I worked in a factory.”
• 25% of Americans agree
• 73% disagree
• 2% currently work in a factory
“I’ve been disappeared because a rainforest killing plagiarism machine picked me out of a hat”, coming to a dystopia near you
yeah man, please make my 85 year
old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past
