Great speech from Zohran Mamdani. This man is a force of nature. Best of luck to him because he has a lot of obstacles in his path.

Dick Cheney dies, Democrats sweep, and Zohran becomes mayor. What was it Ice Cube said? Today was a good day.

Seeing Barbs turn on Nicki after she’s praised Cheeto Mussolini is a sight to behold. Welcome to the club.

One of the things I don’t like when horrible people die is the attempt to rehabilitate their image. Like, no. You don’t need to say nice things about Dick Cheney. Anyone who remembers the Bush administration knows how much of an absolute monster Dick was and the damage he’s done.

Dick Cheney is dead. Another demon is down.

This is the second year LA beats Toronto. Congratulations, Dodgers. Alexa, play Not Like Us.

Soenthing to think about when it comes to the US giving money to Argentina: a whole bunch of Nazis fled to Argentina after World War II.

ANTIFA FROG

Something a little different. SO to the people at the No Kings protests and SO to the people in Portland wearing inflatable suits in standing up to fascism.

RIP to a legend. Time to listen to his discography again.

D’Angelo, the neo-soul trailblazer and modern visionary whose three albums were all heralded as classic works of art, has died at age 51.

Watching the Men In Black cartoon and this took me by surprise.

The next time these folks try to gaslight you about DEI, never let them forget the nepo babies being handed these positions.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

MAGA’s propaganda to justify waging war on blue cities is slowly being dismantled by people wearing inflatable suits. The history books looking back at this time will be interesting.

I’ve been cooking on this take for a while & I have more to say: the 2020s is one of the worst decades for mainstream music so far IMO. The reasons why has a lot to do with broader trends in the industry & American culture as a whole. If something doesn’t change, I don’t see this getting any better.

Agreed. Nobody should take Ben Shapiro’s opinion on anything seriously.

My timeline is filled with more people bashing the new Taylor Swift album than praising it. Is the album really that bad (I haven’t listened to it)?

Hey, just a quick reminder that no matter how fucking insane the world gets, making art is one of the most noble and worthwhile pursuits a human being can undertake, and the world is vastly improved by the sharing of your creations, whatever they may be.

The most maddening thing about watching the right suddenly pretend they're concerned about hate speech and embracing cancel culture means that when they firmly held the exact inverse position a week ago, it was also insincere and performative.

We live in a time where the truth isn't covered by the media.

How ironic that the same people who rallied against cancel culture are now participating in cancel culture. The irony is delicious.
