It's not always about jokes at the Onion. Sometimes they just want to spin a beautiful tale that fills your heart with yearning, and makes you want to think about what other wonders the world might contain, some day.
Just know that when he does die, every single piece of shit that covered for him is going to say stuff like "Yeah, we knew he was crazy and we wanted to stop him, but we just didn't know how."
Never let them forget where they stood during all this.
Imagine that I have given you good reason to attack my enemies. Imagine! Harder!
REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.
you can really blow some minds with “actually there was an entire library and research institute for queer / trans history, science and medicine founded by a Jewish sexologist but the Nazis destroyed it in the hopes of exactly this outcome, ie future generations not believing trans people are real”
Every time you speak up - and every time you don't - there are people watching and learning about you and the world you help create.
Pol Pot killed 3 million people. Vought and Musk have him beat three times over.
Linda Davis was killed by ICE today. A Black woman, a beloved teacher, killed by ICE in Savannah, Georgia.
Her name is Linda Davis and she was killed by our government.
I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
The administration fired thousands of federal employees, most of them probationary (in part because they made firing these employees easier). But one category of employee increased substantially from Dec 2024 to Dec 2025: political appointees. www.ms.now/opinion/fede...
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for ≥ 34 of 100 US senators not to vote "guilty"? I still can't get over that.
White text on a black background has the words "Reform, retrain, defund" crossed out. Below, white text reads "Abolish ICE."
It's always been abolish ICE.
For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency.
I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.
“2 members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team working at the SSA were secretly in touch with an advocacy group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls” www.politico.com/news/2026/01...
I look at it like this: Ratified treaties are supreme law of the land. NATO treaties mean an attack on a NATO nation is an attack on all of them, incl. USA. If Trump attacks Greenland, he attacks the USA: It's yet another treason.
Let this radicalize you.
This is thousands of times more charming than anything he's ever really done in his stupid life. If he's ever had a cat, he probably paid a lawyer to drown it after a couple of days.
Establishment Democrats are rejecting an increasingly popular position by refusing to take a bold stance that happens to be good politics.
I consider myself going slightly off topic, but I'll say it anyway: I don't know why someone would prefer Nonfat milk over a glass of water, or some nondairy-anything else. Whole or 2% may or may not justify their calories, situationally, but nonfat is positively gross.
Well for some reason, if there had been 3 prosecutors willing to take on the tasks, it may be that those were the same ones that just resigned (the recurring, inexplicable own-goal of anti-corruption)
I was on a cube-bound track, but Dilbert had his own place, and a dog. The enthusiasm is weird, but I was thinking like "I could def. navigate that, for the right salary." But then, all my jobs turned out cool (to me). Who else even had a job? I didn't want a Doonesbury or a Cathy job.

Here's the 386pp EPA doc where Lee Zelkin skips the $-based est. for loss of life/health from combustion turbines' pollutants. Some prior policies had est. 30:1 societal benefit, to money spent reducing pollutants.
The Environmental Protection Agency has adopted a new approach to pollution regulations that centers industry costs while sidelining estimates of lives saved or public health benefits, a shift critics say “says the quiet part out loud.”
Quote skeeting for alt text:
Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.

The FBI sniper at Ruby Ridge was prosecuted by Idaho. The federal district court initially dismissed the charges but was overruled by the Ninth Circuit, allowing it to proceed. The case only ended when a new district attorney was elected and decided to drop it.
I'm a wreck, I can't give advice from experience.. but if I understand what they're telling me correctly, the key is not to resolve what a terrible night you're not going to do, but to resolve how you will make one or more days similarly worse, in their place
