Recently my brother in law explained what gerrymandering was to a coworker and they didn’t believe him because if that were really happening there would be riots in the street
This week I had someone tell me they're not worried about SNAP being cut off because "that's illegal, so it's impossible Trump could do that, so obviously it's just media sensationalism." Another person told me they weren't worried about ICE because "they can't detain you if you're legally here."

Getting not one but two Richard Bachman adaptations in a year when both look ripped from the headlines when they seemed only peripherally and abstractly relevant at the time they were published just really sucks
It’s so painfully on the nose that an adaptation of Stephen King’s dystopian novel about “win or die” game shows replacing the social safety net, written as Reagan was doing just that, is coming out the same month that SNAP is being halted

I’ve never seen such wantonly cruel government overreach in my life. I’ve seen plenty of bad, selfish decisions, but not this level of gleeful sadism
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
Had no idea it was GODZILLA day when I decided to re-watch GODZILLA MINUS ONE.

This exchange should be in textbooks. It's the platonic ideal of a scene where a grifter is asked a question about the legitimacy of his company that he knows he can't answer so he immediately distracts everyone.

He's Lyle Lanley without the fun hat.

Matthew Lillard from the "Scream" screening at Hollywood Forever:

“Fuck ICE! In this time, in this city, we need to lead with love. Do not forget that shit in this moment. Not to be political, but to be political as shit. Second of all: vote Prop 50. And if you don’t like that, I’m so not sorry!”

THREAD: There is no explanation for the New York Times continue this level of unethical reporting. I’ve talked to reporters and editors there and no one defends this: reporting the stated reasons of the government as its *actual* reasons.

The Heritage Foundation president is openly calling for the arrest, prosecution and conviction of people who work in the adult industry.

No actual crime alleged — adult speech is still legal — just vague societal harms that demand detention.
There are a large number of Democratic politicians who insist that Jonathan Haidt is a reliable narrator and one who they should take their legislative cues from. They should be asked why they're supporting someone the Heritage Foundation is cheering on in their efforts to censor the internet.

Nick Fuentes, a self-avowed white supremacist and antisemite, is poised to be the next face of MAGA (& maybe the Republican Party) but I have yet to see any prominent rabbis speak out about *him*
I just am having a hard time understanding why we are doing this about Mamdani while the ‘Jews Will Not Replace Us’ Guys currently run every branch of government and have all the nukes

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.
