NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

Famously upon the restoration of Charles II there was a parade held through London with prominent images of Dionysius; letting deposed Puritans know the boys were back in town, so to speak. I think we're gonna have to do that with Woke 2. Publicly cancel some prominent media men in the town square.

It's time for Democrats to stop focusing on issues that only elites care about, like unemployment and the price of gas, and start talking about things that matter to regular Americans, like Black mermaids and the genders of the characters on Paw Patrol.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

How Pixar’s Open Sexism Ruined My Dream Job (Guest Column) A former Pixar employee writes that after John Lasseter's departure, the company still has a lot of work to do to fix its sexist culture.

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

i live in small town in the no man's land of pennsylvania between philadelphia and pittsburgh. i am exposed to plenty of right wing thinking. not really worried about making my social media experience less pleasant in order to "get out of my echo chamber."

It wasn't "cancel culture" when women and people of color got used up, silenced, and dismissed before their careers even began. It only became "cancel culture" when powerful abusers started having established careers momentarily inconvenienced by revelations of what they'd done.

reminder that they defunded the irs and made it illegal to forgive student loans and then cancelled millions of people's healthcare

I got banned for a week on FB for posting this picture. 🤷

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

so it seems like american service members are dying to ensure Netanyahu's reelection.

the thing about people like glenn greenwald saying that trump broke his promise to them is that you have to be the absolute stupidest motherfucker on the planet to believe that donald trump, violent racist bully, is a man dedicated to peace. 1

At first I thought you meant the TJ’s in Capitol Hill in DC, which also has a parking garage where I won’t dare to venture.

Optics.

All the cruelest, dumbest assholes in America want to kill the arts and humanities

Tech companies shouldn’t hire PhDs in philosophy. Wikipedia tried that and now has a guy who calls himself the co-founder of Wikipedia spending decades trying to tear it down while screaming about white genocide on twitter.

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

Why are people always yelling at The Left, a group almost entirely shut out of public life, including mainstream news outlets. You are mad at people on social media. Get a life

The American right does not defend slavery because progressives say it was bad. They defend slavery because racial hierarchy has been an important and increasingly explicit component of their ideology for 70 years. Read a fucking book.

Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

i often think about this review

Never change, Wikipedia.

Remember when saying something like “deplorable” was bad for a political career?

I will not vote for any candidate who runs with "we need to move forward" and refuses to prosecute this administration for every single one of their crimes. Accountability is all.

every time you think the new WaPo editorial board can't embarrass itself any more, they manage to find a way.

Left: 'Texas gerrymandering is no big deal!', from August.
Right: 'Maryland gerrymandering is an affront to Western civilization!', from today.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
