You olds don't need to hear this, but to you youngbloods out there, I come to you from the future: when the news begins talking about ways to save money for the holidays, rather than getting you hyped to drown in debt buying shit, that means shit is WAY FUCKING WORSE than they are letting on.

So this administration is persecuting Christians in their places of worship. ICE, ERO, and CBP are where the worst of humanity goes to work.
"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."
Exclusive: Trump DHS Plans Immigration Raids on Churches Over Holidays
The Trump Dept. of Homeland Security is briefing federal agencies on plans for immigration enforcement operations inside churches over holidays.

The way both Ryan Lizza and Olivia Nuzzi are now selling their personal lives like melodramas while also both still supposedly being serious political journalists makes me deeply uncomfortable

to have an affair with one longshot presidential candidate twice your age that you’re profiling may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness

I’m sure the rightwing lady is making content out of this and it’s genuinely such a good tactic by Kat here to just be like uh huh, yes keep explaining it, no I don’t want it, it seems very weird and sad, please keep going on though, explain it all, explain how normal this is”
Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.”

Counterpoint: this is a movie I would have seen opening night if not for the lead actress doing everything possible to alienate me and my friends.
“.. Rolling out a little movie — even with a big star — has become very hard,” says a Hollywood talent agent .. “That’s the death of the independent film business that no one is talking about.”

cannot stress enough how important it is to retaliate, because unlike the ginned up bullshit these guys are trying to pin on folks like Comey and James a lot of them are doing actual real big boy crimes

burn the Justice Department to the ground and rebuild from the ashes
Trump will not just be four years of bad management. The culture of these organizations will be fucked for a long time. The pressure to retaliate and clean house will be strong, and no-one wants to work in a war zone.

Not to yuck peoples yum but if they can let Patton Oswalt back in for doing the exact same damn thing then they can also reinstate Link.
First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

Jaw on the floor insanity. Don't do this unless you want to be perceived as potentially dangerous. No candidate should take "stuff" from someone who acts like this. They never know how the items were tampered with.

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

I get why it happens but goddamn do I wish anything could hit as hard on the timeline as something that sucks that everyone hates written by or about the worst person you know. I wish something good or interesting was able to get anywhere near the traction some shit that sucks does.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

You have to do this to every Democratic aligned guy in those emails. It’s a cancer that needs to be cut out
Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a “get” in the eyes of Dems because it legitimizes their absurd notion that they can pull from the right, which is all Democrats have been concerned with since they decided that Labor was no longer worth pursuing

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

Could argue the misogyny Summers expressed both publicly while president of Harvard and in emails to Epstein says more about the culture at our most elite institutions than any of the frontpage freakouts over academia in the past few years but hey

“she flamed out and faded away” is such funny framing for a woman publishing an excerpt of her book in vanity fair, where she also works. I wish I could flame out and fade away so successfully
Vanity Fair's West Coast Editor Olivia Nuzzi was a star political correspondent until scandal led her into exile—and to a California up in flames.

In an excerpt from her book, ‘American Canto,’ she takes stock of scorched earth.
