Here’s your reminder that Argentina’s President is a Libertarian who, despite his Libertarian claims of “pulling Argentina up by its own bootstraps”, begged for and is getting $40B in socialism for American taxpayers because libertarianism doesn’t actually f*cking work.

Why this isn’t being released in October is beyond me. It releases one week into November. Like wtf

Looking forward for a reprieve from today’s discourse to watch a nice movie about a rich “genius” who ignores society’s problems to create a deranged artificial intelligence that no one with any sense really wants.

“The absurdity of adults dancing in inflatable costumes during anti-ICE demonstrations is meant to display community joy, protesters say, and helps to dispel the Trump administration’s narrative that Portland is a crime-ridden “war zone,” a characterization local and state leaders say is false.”

Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

"To call us 'Nazis' - to compare us to one of the worst groups in history - is disgusting and just outright wrong.

My high school was across from a Sound Warehouse so I bought it during lunch and listened on the way home from school on my disc man

Vitalogy’s packaging is amazing. My original cd is a little beat up but I still have it.

Although even Vs. had a cool cardboard/plastic thing

Does Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy count? Because I think it’s my favorite album of theirs.

Liz Ryerson @ellaguro.bsky.social · 17h

a poll idea that just popped into my head: since we've collectively been doing 90's nostalgia for awhile as a culture, what's your secret/stealth best 90's album? not something necessarily widely super critically beloved but is nonetheless great and defining for you?

The New York Times, disclosing that the CIA is authorized to overthrow Venezuelan dictator Maduro, says “the CIA’s history of covert action in Latin America and the Caribbean is mixed at best.”
That’s like saying John Dillinger’s history of visiting banks was “mixed at best.”

every business is run the way ICE is run btw. this is just how it's done. the right to abuse people is so ingrained in the political elite that they can't parse opposition to it. it's like asking Schumer "what's north of the north pole?" but the north pole is a pedophile rape island for billionaires
