Every American to the left of Susan Collins is somewhat responsible for the murder of Charlie Kirk, but it’s unclear if the President is responsible for the video he posted.
Have no fear, New York Times is ON IT.

If you give a toddler a ☕️ joke, he will wake up every morning while his mother is drinking coffee and wait to yell in your face:

“Cappuccino? More like Capuccin-yes!”

It’s really hard giving birth to someone with the same sense of humor.

Ooh, just saw “without Asimov there would be no science fiction,” and no, you stale crouton, you waterlogged saltine, without Mary Shelley—harassed by her husband and Lord Byron—there would be no science fiction.

You’re confusing fandom for canon.

The billionaire class wants to decimate the white collar workforce. Because white collar workers are expensive. And because white collar workers—who historically sided with billionaires—are questioning that alliance. Which makes their knowledge and resources a huge threat to billionaire power.

From a Reddit post about ICE in LA.

Wearing a Hawaiian shirt under their police vest is a very intentional choice. This seems like a Boogaloo boy who is also a thug agent of the state.

LA friends - be careful out there and make sure folks are aware of what is happening.

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

Please loudly boo JD Vance and his delegation. Make him feel like shit. We encourage it. We wish we could be there to boo him, too.

Sure, a wide array of American elites were palling around with a pedophile and eugenicist but did you know that a Pedro Pascal fan account on bluesky is being slightly hyperbolic when posting about it

This happens with*everything* now. No matter how grave the crime or one-dimensional the injustice, after four days the hivemind of American punditry decides that the Real Story is how the people upset about it are the real villains.

I really like Popehat but his continued association with Barro really makes me look at bit side eyed at him at times.

and it ignores that Epstein was charged initially w having sex with girls aged 13-17

16 is a fake number they made up bc it sounds more acceptable than 13

it is not! but the Megan Macardles and Josh Barros of the world can more easily shift the conversation to pretending 16 is ok

It is also very telling that throughout the episode, the feelings/consequences they are trying to understand belong almost exclusively to the pedophiles, not to the victims. In fact, the word 'victim' only shows up in the transcript TWICE.

Power isn't an aphrodisiac, it's a steroid. Lots of people that have it think that they should be able to do what they want and not be limited by rules, or decency, or what other people might actually want, and people in their circle want the power enough to pay with other people's lives for it.
