target paid a bunch of money to people who claim they speak for everyone but have no actual influence over those of us boycotting to tell everyone the boycott is over?

they will do anything but apologize and fix their policy.

i will continue to boycott.

At this point it's barely even a boycott, I've just stopped thinking of Target as a place to buy the things I used to buy at Target.

"We realized we were making ourselves deeply vulnerable to a class action suit that absolutely would have wiped us out financially so we're going to find a way to do this without actual human names attached."

next Democratic president almost certain to make the mistake (again) of asking Republicans to be "partners" in "getting back to normal"

As you sow, you learn that sowing is really cool, just sow however you want, there is no next stage we need to mention.

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.
