Trumpism is just a rebranding - and a light one at that! - of a cuckolding fetish as a political ideology, even though the metaphor is rarely this literal

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s β€œmisplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

You need to have signs up for CCTV but no one is making these arseholes wear bells in public and I want to know why.

I also like how they say "As well ask men what they think of stone" is "caused by the author's aversion to punctuation", which suggests they think it means "Also, ask men what they think of stone", which is an impressive bit of misreading when you're only dealing with a seven sentence paragraph

A wildlife refuge in Washington hired a bullfrog catcher because the invasive bullfrogs are threatening an Oregon spotted frog or whatever but THE POINT IS I can't stop laughing at the picture of him they chose to put on Facebook. That man has two armfuls of Kermits. He is a Muppet villain.

every GOP administration since Reagan has been more and more fascist, and every Democratic administration since Reagan has done fuck all about it beyond serving as a pause before the next giant lurch to the right

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.

It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

It’s incredible that the same people who made up new rules of decorum for Obama just accept that Trump can’t remove his hat in the situations that have always called for a gentleman to do so because conditions are not just right for that fragile puff of spider silk and hair spray.

Late 1993. I was on USENET when Eternal September revved up. It was noticeable, and the mush happened so fast it would make your head spin.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

> "I can code this from scratch" is way more impressive than you might think given toxic industry pro-AI nonsense. The same goes for writing clearly, reading and comprehending journal articles, thinking things through, and on and on.

The slurs somehow have more agency than the Republicans.

The β€œNYT actually assigns agency to the people doing the thing” headline challenge remains unwon.

β€œMAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

If we are being honest: Claude didn't do any of those things.
People USING Claude as an excuse for greed extraction are.

β€’ Claude didn't choose to work for the military.
β€’ Claude didn't build data centers.
β€’ Claude didn't defund mental health.
β€’ Claude didn't refuse security protocols.

Humans did.

It was a really remarkably odd part of early fascism that they head of the secret police was flying around with her side piece in fuck planes while brutalizing America and building a concentration camp system

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was β€œyour piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

Darkly funny he had enough self-awareness to revert to "Department of Defense" here.
