Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Holy shit, BIRTH Criterion 4K?! Never thought any of Glazer’s early works would make it to that format.

I mean it’s very obvious they are doing all this pearl clutching to make it very publicly known that they are protecting Trump’s feelings, because he’s watching TV 24/7 to see who will kiss his ass the most.

i have to be honest, gang, i have some questions about this republican strategy of telling everyone to tune in and pay attention to what’s likely to be one of the largest days of political protest in american history directed at the republican party

I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

private group chats are awesome places where everybody sends all their best posts and funniest bits to that one guy everybody knows will be outed as a sexual predator in a few months

one of the features everyone wants here is one of the features that consistently drives posters insane: group chats. absolute fetid breeding grounds for the most pointless folie a deux

“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments

Griem goes there, arguing in response to Justice Jackson that there can be no race-conscious remedy absent a finding of intentional discrimination.

few things wrong with this: (a) there's zero evidence that any of these guys have changed or wish to change; (b) indeed, senior regime officials have rushed to ratify this behavior; and (c) unless this kind of thing is "frowned upon" or meets with general disapproval, why would anyone change

Amanda Marcotte @amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 7h

I know people are eager to claim they were born perfect and never had to learn and change, unlike losers like me.

So congrats! You were born knowing conservatives are inherently racist. Eat your cookie rewards.

But remember: Telling people they aren't allowed to grow and change hurts us.

If I have to see another post on here claiming there used to be good republicans and they got replaced by the baddies I’m going to fucking scream. The Southern Strategy was in the 1960s. Lee Atwater was giving speeches to these “nice people” where he just shouted the n word in the 70s

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

Trump Halts Billions in Grants for Democratic Districts During Shutdown (Gift Article)

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

Daniel Day-Lewis is the greatest living actor today but his process has been so misinterpreted and mythologized that the result is having to deal with a narcissist like Jared Leto, whose tedious & self-aggrandizing “method” gets praised by colleagues trying not to say “he was an exhausting jackass”.

The NOW YOU SEE ME movies are one of the strangest things to ever become a franchise. Stuffed to the brim with A-listers and big budget VFX, dorky heist movies that became the FAST & FURIOUS for David Blaine magicians. Yet I have never talked to a single person who has ever watched or liked them.
