Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

B&W photo of James Baldwin looking sadder than usual and saying, "Every bombed village is my hometown".

I think it's a pretty grim state of affairs that it's not the bombing little girls or the poisoning of a major city that will cause political backlash in the US but god forbid bubba can't fill his lifted f-250 and people will finally start caring.

Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.

I’m just gonna say we’re getting to his pain point.

Excellent work by the US and Israel, who saw 86-year-old Ali Khamenei replace by his more charismatic son, who also just saw his wife, father, mother, and sister get blown up

After just reading Murderland seeing these kinds of ecological toxic events makes me wonder what kind of long term effects survivors will have too —-longs past the time that humanity should be cooperating and organizing against climate change instead pedos are abusing everyone as per usual

Holy shit. Crude oil futures going nuts tonight.

Pauly Walnuts very seriously telling someone that “it’s called Broad daylight because women light up the world”

international women’s day

It was never about freeing the Iranian people. That was always a lie. No one in the Trump administration cares about Iranians.

The one immutable characteristic of MAGA, the force that underpins, drives and animates everything they do — their permanent raison d'être — is the cruelty is the point.

This is why Trump and Hegseth want AI

They want the bravado of war, but not the responsibility of it

The decades-long jettisoning of personal and societal responsibility by the GOP has led us to this moral quagmire

There are 100 phases

My old MacBook likely finally croaked from a spill. This is a helpful reminder

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Shutting an oil well isn’t like turning off a faucet.

It’s a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse — and an indicator the Kuwaitis don’t see choke points improving anytime soon.

History repeats itself holy shit

The economy is going to collapse so fucking hard

disturbing reports that donald trumps economic policy is exactly as bad as anyone who knows anything said it would be

donald john trump is going to have to go on the television and announce that nationwide alternate-day travel restrictions are in effect and it will be amazing

what is the case for thinking that the duration of the conflict will be up to Trump?

ever since i was born i knew i wanted my country to lose a world war

To take this seriously a sec: when your political-economic system allows massive inequality to explode, it creates a class of people who have no material problems but do have the resources & power to make their trivial irritations the central business of politics—at immense material cost to others.

As someone who routinely mocks permabullish clickbait oil forecasts, I want to be exceptionally clear:

Crude WILL go to $200/bbl, en route higher, unless traffic through the Strait resumes.

Not clickbait, but rather brutal physics and necessary economic incentives.
