part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

Fascism isn't a state, it's an ideology and it's one that rarely announces itself. The entire point of our post-WWII education in history — driven by people like Hannah Arendt — was to spot the tenets of fascism before it could amass total power.

Did not have a Sigur Ros needle drop on my Traitors UK finale bingo card, but between that and Wolf Parade in Heated Rivalry, 2005 is having a moment right now.

I enjoy this mostly for the impression it might leave with international audiences that Bonhomme is Canada's governor general.

The fact that a decade-old clip of Ethan Hawke on Chelsea Handler's long-cancelled Netflix talk show, speaking about his (extensive) time spent in Nova Scotia, is now going local viral and being treated like it's a thing that just happened is BREAKING MY BRAIN.

Sad for the Jays but, man… Dodgers and Mets just playing a fundamentally different budget game than every other team in baseball right now. It’s kind of brain breaking. And, in its own way, game breaking.
Infielder Bo Bichette and the New York Mets are in agreement on a three-year, $126 million contract, sources tell ESPN.
After losing the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes, the Mets pivot quickly and get one of the best players left on the market. @WillSammon was first on the deal.

Kyle Tucker going to the Dodgers leaves me uncomfortably confident that there’s going to be a MLB labour disruption in 2027… and not necessarily a short one.

Holy shit - anyone with "officer" in their résumé to ICE was immediately flagged by AI as "LEO experience", given a badge and gun and sent to the frontlines, even if it was, like, "administrative officer" or "human resources officer"

To an extent I appreciate the need to take the Alberta Independence movement seriously but the irony of trying to host your separatist event at “Canadian” Brewhouse to be told to leave and then pivoting to “Swamp Donkey” needs to be highlighted.

Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."
