would've been very possible to blow out platner, but the very thing that made his rise possible in the first place stops it all dead: the party just does not give a shit. they are not invested. they do not care much about or think much about my state at all. not even when a totenkopf drops.

After a 15-month delay for the extra work, "Elio" tested slightly better than it had originally. The 2025 release was Pixar's biggest flop, losing Disney more than $100 million.

Well good thing it was WORTH IT!!!!! Phew!!!!!!!!!!!

“Young men love cocaine and driving above the speed limit, we must lean into these if we want to be electorally relevant” 🙄

/Stock market tanking, war with seven different countries, gas prices set to spike, CEOs laying off thousands to justify AI investments

"Guys, don't kill the golden goose! You wouldn't want to see what it's like without this magical goose!"

not Naomi Klein 😭

feeling compelled to post this new yorker reject from years ago, for some reason

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

often shocked how much of "policy expertise" is just well-educated sycophants hurling themselves into the machinery of power trying to attach somewhere, anywhere and claiming that's principles. defund the police is extremely specific (obviously), just hated by anyone who will write this guy a check

A big reason Democrats lose is that people think they're phonies who don't believe in anything or have any self-respect. Act like you believe in something. Anything. For fuck's sake

Largely fears over cancel culture among elites are likely motivated by the fact that they truly believe that their status and wealth should shield them from certain moral or ethical standards. Pretending it is anything else is delusional at this point.

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

this is so great. thank you Glacier Bay for keeping this work alive

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

it’s so cool everything is either a scam or designed to take away human rights or both now

local elections are different. much harder to ratfuck

we simply cannot improve this country at all in any way without first destroying the media as it currently exists. this is the one area I am an unashamed, full-throated accelerationist. every single for-profit news organization must be obliterated

this behavior, which is either a monumentally stupid misunderstanding of politics or a sinister, racist attempt to de-power the left (there's no third option!), is actually more responsible for where we're at now than the actual fascists who have been openly plotting their evil shit for decades

what if i were as powerless as i am now, but i was panicking way more???

Josh Shapiro is a disgusting worm. Krasner’s opinion here should be the message of every elected democrat in the U.S.

Get his ass

seriously! better than all the animated picture noms

too many people who pick "the lesser evil" really don't like that idea very much, so they find all kinds of ways to avoid *experiencing* their actions as "lesser-evilism"

their lesser evil is a good man, a great man, their fantasy dad

anyone who criticizes their lesser evil is an unruly child

&c.

someone in a nail polish subreddit created a shade that matches the one in this photo and is selling it on etsy so she can afford to buy her boyfriend a bulletproof vest to wear while doing ICE watch at home depot. we live in hell but we are going to fucking win.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Not only does ICE need to be abolished, but there should be publically aired tribunals for as long as it takes to hold every last one of these thugs accountable. No one, not even the people who file paperwork or handle payroll, should be immune from prosecution.
