Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Extract from a book suggesting the people who commit atrocities are not ‘them’ but ‘us’

Terry Pratchett.

It’s like not a single person surrounding Trump studied one thing about Afghanistan. When a bombing campaign intentionally makes life this miserable for civilians, all it does it make hardline leadership more attractive and become bulletin board material for extremist groups.

The idea that opposing and rolling back trans rights is good for cis women and girls is ludicrous on every level and absolutely enraging when applied in legislation and policy that obviously limits and rolls backs rights for ALL women and girls

ETSU, located in Johnson City, Tennessee, plays in the SoCon, which has its conference championship in Asheville. But UNC-Ashveille plays in the Big South, which has its conference championship in Johnson City. discuss amongst yourselves

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Mainstream America: We are obsessed with Heated Rivalry and Drag Race. We love them and can't get enough.
American Democrat politicians: LGBT people are not culturally normal. We will not speak of them.

These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.

How I Became A Target For Right-Wing Freaks At The Australian Open | Defector Before I went to Melbourne in January to cover the Australian Open for Defector and a couple other publications, I spent some time in New Zealand with my family. We lived there for five years when I w...

“Those who would rather athletes with platforms not talk about issues that affect millions of people are not really governed by a distaste for ‘politics,’ as they would have you believe, but a fundamental uncaringness about how it feels to be alive.”

“Woe to the man who eats the little worm.”

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

Senator Markwayne Mullin has no experience that would qualify him to be chief of security of the second biggest mall in Muskogee, Oklahoma.

The four people who show up to every one of our county’s library board meetings to rant about the “evils” of DEI are going to be crushed!

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

It’s an unironically and sincerely great cover. 🤘

Rod Serling is probably the coolest guy of the 20th century. Looked cool, sounded cool, fought Nazis, hated John Wayne, wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Honestly dunks all the hell over any male influencer guy.

Gavin Newsom, Kristi Noem Nod Silently To Each Other In Plastic Surgeon’s Office

Costco in Maple Grove, Minnesota, March 5th:
Shopper 1; what aisle is ice in?
Worker: what?
Shopper 1: ice? Next aisle?
Worker: oh, yep!

Worker: that’s right, dude.

Markwayne Mullin is the most “defensive coordinator the whole team hates” option we have

Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken

And I hope it stays that way, for everyone else’s sake. 😬

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

New poll: Democrats' real problem isn't being too liberal — it's being seen as too weak Americans, including swing voters, see the Republican Party as 20 points more extreme than Democrats — and the Democrats as weak and ineffective. So why would the *Democrats* moderate?

*Shocked Pikachu face*

The phrase “every conservative influencer in the business” tells you everything you need to know.

The entire modern conservative movement descends from snake oil salesmen and prosperity gospel revival tent preachers.

It’s nothing more than a con, and that’s all it will ever be.
